Blending with Acrylic paints. The myth is that acrylics paints are hard to blend but actually there are several methods to make this easier. Wet into wet, Adding mediums to open the paint, Dry brushing over wet, Dry brushing and glazing. EVERY one of these skills is do-able once you know them. After 4 decades of painting I have a few great tips that will unlock blending and gradation in acrylic paint and make it a breeze.
Things that effect your blend, climate, paint quality, paint body, hardness of water, Brush quality, painting surface and of course Speed. I would like you to know Talent is NOT one of these factors in any way.
