I am new at acrylic painting &amp; need to know if acrylics come in more than one form for painting on canvas &amp; boards? Liquid &amp; paste?

Yes. These pictured are thinner and cover easily. The "paste" tubes are what most professional acrylic painting are done with. The paste provides texture and greater variation when mixing colors. The "liquid" is primarily used for DIY crafts (most any kind).

Yes. I transfer a drawing to a canvas that I want to oil paint. I trace the pattern. Then I use Art carbon transfer paper (buy at dickblick.com (Dick Blick) or any art supply). Lay the carbon transfer paper on your surface and then the pattern on top and trace. The patter will transfer to your wood or canvas.

Yes, you do have to mix the paints. No big deal at all. Equal parts of each. I use just a little bit with even amounts and mix with a toothpick. Just a small amount will last. Also, I have an eye dropper and add 1 drop of water to mix in when it starts to dry out.

Acrylic paints usually work best and I have the least issues with bubbling or separating. Between latex and enamel, I would probably use enamel. I doubt you would experience any major issues with the latex but the enamel would give you a stronger bond with the surface material and better color consistency from pre-resin to dry dry resin.

Without getting into any chemistry, they are from different sources. Acrylic is a synthetic polymer from the petro-chemical industry. Common forms would be Lucite and Plexiglass. Acetate is a natural polymer that was originally processed from trees and cotton. The most recognized forms of Acetate would be rayon, celluloid used in photographic film, and nitro-cellulose lacquer.As we see them in pen blanks, they are two plastics with similar properties. Acrylic is more brittle than Acetate, and that would make the Acetate the easier to turn on a lathe. Both are soluble in Acetone. It would work the same on both.__________________ Without getting into any chemistry, they are from different sources. Acrylic is a synthetic polymer from the petro-chemical industry.

Acrylic paint tends to peel or easily chip off plastic. But if you can locate a primer that is for plastics to use first, it might work. They sell these paints individually at Michael's if you wanted to test it out before ordering this lot.

The packaging does not mention use with oil paint. It says, watercolor, acrylic or tempra which are all water soluble. Generally oil brushes are more stiff and the bristles may be glued with a different medium to with stand the oils and thinners used for oil painting.

There are a few different thickness of the brushes so u can draw various strokes. I think it more depends on practice than the tools. But if u want perfect straight lines, u need to cheat... Using tapes to mask out he area u want to paint. It is more work to prepare but easier to achieve perfect lines.

These paints are acrylic based, not oil. Has very little/no odor. Yes, you can paint inside without ventilation. I never got my paints as the 2 times that Amazon sent them to me, some of the bottles were opened and leaked in the box, and were returned. After 2 tries, Amazon gave up and cancelled my order. I know about these paints from buying them from other vendors.

no, you must spray or use a brush to apply multiple coats. For large projects, sprat it; for small projects a small paint can version works best. P.S. The more layers you put down, the better the performance....time comsumuing, but well worth the time and money!!!!

These brushes I have used only with Acrylics if you wish to use this brand name then you need to order them with the white tip they are better for Oil Paints. Also the reason that you use the white tip brushes that they are more sturdier for oil then these because they are softer.

Its ok, but I wouldn't buy another one, any odd thing you have at home with a lid would do the same. The paint does NOT peel right off, it comes off ok, but not like it says, cheaper and easier to use a cheap container ( with a lid ) until you have finished with the paint then throw it away. Happy painting. OOps, as for Acrylics, I don't use them so I can't answer that.

I would not do watercolor but I did heavier washes of acrylic just fine- you need to gesso first as the pages are thin-not as thin as Moleskine but 1 layer of gesso and I mixed acrylics and matte medium and it was fine!

Yes you can . Wall paint is acrylic based just like these craft paint are .

You could just paint but the first coat will absorb into the wood and your painting won't be on the surface. I would do either one coat of gesso first or and all over coat of acrylic first.

Hi Luke, Thank you for contacting Way Basics! Storage Cube is available in White color. We have 9 colors available for this product. Also, our products are paintable, but you will need to prepare the surface first before doing so. Make sure the surface is dry and free of any dust or other material that may hinder the adhesion of the paint. It will also be necessary to use a primer on the surface before painting to assure you get the best possible result. Because our products are water resistant, painting directly on the boards without a primer will create the paint to "bead up" similar to what may happen if water comes into contact with the surface. When choosing a primer, we recommend using a product that will bond to surfaces such as paper, formica or a similar nonporous material. As long as you use a good primer, you will be able to use a water based paint and paint the product to your liking. Please note that painting Way Basics products is at your own risk with no returns or exchanges. Jimmy Chiang Way Basics, Founder jimmy@waybasics.com

Acrylics are NOT the type of paint to use. Go to Walmart and buy craft paint that can be used on material. It can be washed and retains it's vibrancy....acrylics are blotchy, if adhering at all. Do not recommend.
