I am curious to see how well this will work and if it helps new artists find out what different products there are faster. This is for people to post what brands of products you use and what results you have gotten from them.
Here is what I have used:
Winsor and Newtwon Finity acrylics: They are very creamy and blend well. they also dry with out any color change as well as keep their color when thinned.
Winsor and Newton Galeria Flow Improver: This has to be mixed with water..so I had to be a bit careful..but other wise it worse really well and did not seem to affect how the paint stuck to the PYO.
Winsor and Newton Galeria Fluid Retarder: I did not use this too much..but when I did it seemed to do a nice job. it kept the paint moist rather then wet or runny so that blending was easy, but also let it dry with in a reasonable time.( note: I used thin coats of paint and have not tried it with thicker coats)
Winsor and Newton Galleria Iridescent Medium: this is a bottle of iridescence material in a thick clear acrylic. At first glance it looks like pearl/silver metallic. You mix this with any color you like to turn it metallic…and it works! It comes in real handy for wanting a metallic look in a color that does not come in metallics. I even ADDED it to the metallics i was using.
Sargent Art Liquid Metals: these are metallic acrylics. They are very bright and fine. I REALLY like using them a lot and they come in a lot of colors. They seem to work well with other brands also.
Golden Interference:I think most of us know these. Also acrylics. They offer a metallic sheen that only shows up in certain lighting or on certain colors. I really loved using them. mine are Interference Fine and had a very creamy look.
Liquid Leaf Copper: This stuff was ok. comes in a jar and you paint it on. Make sure to use thin coats and it goes on even. I would like to try some other brands though. It did not impress me all that much.
Winsor and Newton Art Masking Fluid: Very basic. Dries opaque and does a good job…just do not use it too thick or it will pull the eyes out(like i did).
Krylon Low Odor Clear Finish:I got it in glossy. This is the spray I used for the clear coat sealer and I really liked how it turned out. Glossy but not overly glossy. I have two other sprays to try.
That is all I have tried so far.Any one else feel free to add the ones you have tried.
