Okay… for everyone who doesn't get the "EYE-GOR" reference…

Acrylic needs water or medium for blending and consistency.
You have to keep them wet to keep working with them, since they do dry fast.
But, you can glaze with them, dry brush, and wet on wet …with them been working with them for 20 years now. They come second nature to me.
No watercolors…I'm still figuring them out.
Currently painting in acrylic, I've never tried gouache or oil, I've dabbled in a bit of watercolor, but for whatever reason acrylic has been my main paint medium… and, I agree, it does feel heavy and jelly-like… blending with it take forever, but I keep trying 🥲
Uh – you have these heavy body acrylics- I had them in my art mystery box once – hated them 😅
I use Talens Standard Acrylics and love them – they made me fall in love with acrylics. Had Schmincke Academic before, and hated acrylics 🫣
Painters POV: "Man this painting I made sucks!"
Beginner or non painters POV: "Its so good! How did you do it? Teach me!"
I use acrylics, but I totally get it! 😆 I am by no means an expert, but I enjoy them and find them relatively easy to work with. I’m also a face and body painter, though (a very different experience, obviously,) and the blending is super satisfying in a way that acrylics aren’t. I love that every artist finds the thing/combo of things that work for them – you’re so right that we can’t be good at everything, and that’s okay. I love your interpretation of Eye-gor!
I'm 11 and like coffee
Thin your paints
Maybe use soft body acrylics??
The difference between an artist and a normal person is that the artists mess is art and our mess is just straight up mess😊
Same dude…. jello…..fr
I recommend a cheaper acrylic. That sounds weird but typically they are more watered down and blend more smoothly. It takes more layers to get the full color though. I use apple barrel paints. You are just using heavy body acrylic so it is thicker.
I HAVE A BETTER WAY FOR ACRYLIC PAINT!!!!! I have been using acrylic paint for as long as I can remember and I’m telling you rn the reason is because you have to drop some water on it, put your brush in water swirl it around then swirl it around on the pallet until it starts to form more of a liquidy paint
you could try more watery ones maybe like used for miniature painting, i can't get gel like ones either but i'm pretty fine with mini painting with those acrylic mini paints.
Thin with water or an acrylic medium.
You give coffee energy
Made if it's chunky it old and it needs fixing😊
You need brushes that have rougher hairs. Use a knife and think of it like layering melted plastic.
Thats because you use heavy body acrilic paint thats why is like jello use regular acrilic paint is better no texture on it
Try using water with them, it helps to thin it out
Scott: i can’t do acrylic. It’s so difficult. I cant make it work
Scott with acrylic: better than any painting Ive ever done
Try mixing a tiny bit of water with them
I usually water down my acrylic paints so that it has the consistency of cream instead of jelly. That way it becomes more useful for details and sharp lines.
BUT, why stop here?!
If you then want to go further by adding a lot of water and using it as light wash or using it as a more solid water color.
It’s quite a flexible medium when you use colors. Random brushes ( or fuck it go out find a stick or a branch and use that as a brush for the fun of it.)
The sky is the limit if you just know that there’s few rules and a ton of fun in store
