Euphoric Ocean Blues 🌊 I CHANGED MY PAINT CONSISTENCY!! Why?

Video Description

I changed my pillow... Still using the PPG MultiPro but added 1 ounce of floetrol and 1.5 ounces of water (correction) to thin it down some to make my art piece. Thinning the paint made my working time much longer. I cut out tons of dead space in this episode. With this you have to be mindful of your quality of paints. You will see I did a lot of stretching with my colors, getting rid of stuff I didn't like altogether. If your pigment load isn't high enough you will see it start to split and break away. I used heavy bodied acrylics from Master's Touch and Blick, Amsterdam mostly in this video. Adding water is also a big risk because that tipping point happens alot faster the more you have to stretch and tilt of your binders breaking away. So far large pieces you need to increase the amount of pigment and good stuff to stretch more.... This why this same painting done on a 6X6 would probably look fine with craft paint but if you were to continue to stretch/ tilt you would loose the richness of your colors fast. Changing my paint consistency gave me a longer working time and more ability to stretch... Now there is a catch to how much paint you put on your canvas because this is also the amount you must spin or tilt off... For every action is a reaction. :) If you enjoy pushing the envelope and trying ideas this video is for you (ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES): https://youtu.be/lF5pj7ytw5U Love looking at the ocean?
