Paintings - Thousand Of Painting To Choose From The Best Painters

Sometimes we really have to work fast to blend colors on my canvas, but if I am working with a certain color for a while, I just add a floating medium to the color to make it last.

Florida, FL (prHWY.com) October 10, 2012 - Florida, Oct 10, 2012 - Sometimes we really have to work fast to blend colors on my canvas, but if I am working with a certain color for a while, I just add a floating medium to the color to make it last. Or I use baby jars to mix up colors that I like and keep them in the jars. That way when the colour I need comes up again, I have it already mixed. Acrylics are easy to clean up with soap and water.

Paintings - We prefer acrylics, because you can make them look like anything, watercolor, gouache, oils etc, they're less smelly (although I love the smell of oils and linseed), take less cleaning up, and are more versatile.

That's what I started with. And now I'm trying acrylics for the first time. I find that I have to paint really fast to beat the drying paint. That's kind of annoying, unless you mix a different medium that won't let it dry as fast. I love the way I pile on color with oils, I feel like oils have more depth.

I also like the smell of oils, weird though it may be to some. I've tried using retarder but it doesn't seem to work well at retarding the drying time. I'm just used to painting wet on wet and I can't seem to do this with acrylics. I'd like to blend colours more but the acrylics dry too fast to get subtle value changes. I want slower drying paint so as to paint wet on wet. The spirits don't bother me (I like the smell of good turpentine) and I clean my brushes with soap and water anyway. With acrylics, I tend also to lay paint too thin because I'm reluctant to have paint dry up on the palette before I get a chance to use it.

We find acrylics dry a bit too fast for blending, which I like to do, but since I like the paint thick (unlike watercolor, which acrylics can be like) I didn't want to add much water.

Paintings For Sale - We paint with water mixable oils, there is low odor compared with the regular oils. With oils you can go back to them any time, whether it's a month or three years. With acrylics, as a very good friend of mine who paints with acrylics and is an abstract artist for many years

If you use Liquin with your oil paints, they are usually dry the next day. Japan drier works pretty much the same, but I don't know what if any effects it has on the colors, longevity, etc. It's sold in art supply stores.
