Hump Day How-To: High Flow Paints

1/1/2014

WELCOME to the first "Hump Day How-To" -- the first of 52 tutorial-like blog posts featuring mixed media, book binding, or art journaling techniques. 

My goal with this weekly series is to share/demo some of my favorite techniques and to experiment with new products. Some of these posts will have a video (see below) and others will simply show step-by-step photos. 

In this first installment, I show you how I make my own version of the high flow acrylic paints.

Materials used: 
  • Golden Airbrush Medium
  • Golden Fluid Acrylic in Cobalt Turquoise
  • Empty pointed-tip bottle



Materials shown:
  • Montana Refillable Acrylic Paint Pens
  • Liquitex Basics Acrylic Paint in Light Portrait Pink
  • Craft Essentials Acrylic Paint in Sky Blue
  • Water Brush

Things to consider if you decide to make your own: 
  • the ratio of airbrush medium to paint is important and you may need to play around a bit until you find the consistency you like. 
  • putting paint inside the Montana markers can be a little tricky and messy, so just take your time -- you'll love the results. 
  • I don't show it in this video, but dripping the high flow paints together can create an amazing effect. 

Join me next Wednesday for the 2nd Hump Day How-To!!

Happy New Year! and thanks for the high flow acrylic paint video. Exactly what is the purpose of the high flow golden paint? I thought it was to extend? the dry time of the paint. I guess I could look this up on the Golden web site but you explain things so precisely I thought you might answer this.
Thanks.
