What kinds of paint do I use?
Acrylic paint is usually my go-to paint. It is easy to use with an average amount of thickness and coverage. I use this paint most of the time on any kind of canvas or wood surface, and sometimes glass as well.
I use Gouache paint in many different ways. I use it as a thicker consistency to mimic acrylic, but it dries faster. I can also water it down and use it as watercolor. It is one of my favorite paints to use to recreate sunsets or to bleed and blend colors together.
Watercolor is a paint I rarely use, but when I do I usually overlay that piece in pen. It is not very forgiving, and I am still learning how to use it more effectively, so I do not use it often within orders unless requested.
What types of additives do I offer?
High Gloss gives different elements within a piece a 3-D effect. It is clear unless I tint it with a specific color, and it has a smooth consistency.
Texture Paint is usually mixed with another color to create a 3-D effect, and it can appear to have either a rougher or smoother texture.
The liquid white I use is the same type made by Bob Ross, which creates a smooth blending media for me to paint on top of, which then allows the paint on top of that liquid white layer to blend together very smoothly.
Foil can be used to create a metallic effect on certain elements within a piece.
In case you want to add a little sparkle to your piece!
