Very good and kind advice, drops no heavy bricks on any ones toes here.
Although the way I lump paint upon stuff will never change for the better,but the banter here is second to none,and so it is not just about painting and presenting figures. It is a place for presenting and sharing in fun.
Rich W, it is not an easy call to explain how to use acrylic paints, because it all depends on how much paint is squeezed out,and how thick it is.
I started painting small today,because I am small but in an unusual big way.
" Make sense of that I dare you?"___
" o`, my! our bb,with a brush!"
" Much better than him with a knife!"
So here goes nothing!
One drop of acrylic paint to one drop of water.
If thick paint perhaps 2 drops of water.
It is trial and error really especially if it is blistering hot weather.
You will still have to varnish in order to protect your paint work.
Of course I am no great painter but I try.
My Mrs B, reckons yes I am very trying indeed.
Keep the faith in yourself and dip your paint brush the way in which you wish.
There is no longer any TROLL of contention here on Benno`s Figure Forum.
So have confidence to post other cool looking stuff,
and always remember Rich W,you can use what ever paint you wish.
