Beginner Series | Using Paint Mediums to Get a Perfect Paint Consistency For Dot Art | Best Paint

In this video we are going to talk all about paint consistency. When it comes to dot art - paint consistency is KEY. If your paint is too thick, it could leave peaks. If your paint is too thin it could all run together and create a big BLOB. I will show you various different paint brands and consistencies and show you how to use different paint mediums to achieve your desired outcome!

Where is the love button for my sweet ever-giving Demi !!!!! Love you Demi ❤❤❤

[@toriphillips7383]

Thankyou for this, I’m just starting out and this video is so helpful ❤

[@Video-jq2jx]

You are right about finding the right one for yourself:) DecoArt is impossible to make mini dots close to each other, and is way too flat for me. The second would be the perfect when it comes to consistency, mini dots won’t run into each other and big dots will have a beautiful shape without multiple layers.

Thanks! Even thought I’ve been dotting for a while and use DecoArt paint, this is great information. Can’t wait to get home from our cruise and start dotting again.

[@shraddhasurve3430]

Thanks for this series...It is really helpful ❤...I have one question..can we use pouring medium to thin out acrylic paint ?

[@mandalabyromi]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@barbaradenunzio6879]

Why can't I use water to thin paint?

[@paulaniven]

Hi there! I want to buy the recommened medium for thinning acrylic paint but am confused about which Liquitex medium to buy. I see you use Liquitex Matte fluid matte but on the bottle it says it makes the paint more transparent and I prefer not to lighten the colour. I’m wondering if you can clarify this for me. Thank you SO MUCH!

[@thoughtfuldots]

It doesn’t make my paint more transparent unless I really use a lot of it. The amount used in the video doesn’t change the color of the paint much. Give it a try!

[@deepakmahajan1992]

Useful information but as beginners can we add water to thin and wait for some time to become thick

[@thoughtfuldots]

As a beginner I think you should experiment! Try it out and see how it goes. When I first started I used water to thin my paint. But as I began selling my artwork I upgraded to quality medium to ensure the longevity of my work!
