Nice information

[@MadhulaCreations]

Thank you❤️

[@PriyaChaudhary-hd9gp]

What type of water we have to use cold , normal , hot ?? Pls tell

[@MadhulaCreations]

Slightly thickened paint you can use just normal water...

[@sanchitaghosh4177]

Thankk youu so muchh❤

[@MadhulaCreations]

Always welcome!❤️

[@ranbcanada]

Mam very good info”r the acrylic colours in tube r good to-paint on fabric

[@MadhulaCreations]

Thanks a lot❤️...yes they can be used on fabric...but don't use it too thick...for tips to paint on fabric you can watch part 1 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4nRhnl3Z9GDeZY and part 2 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/kISoaWaDf7iWmas

[@AKuldip]

I tried using turpentine and nothing happened. Will try this method now.

[@MadhulaCreations]

Turpentine will thin out oil paints or wash off oil paint brushes..I don't prefer to use turpentine

[@vinayatigulla7]

Tq😊

[@MadhulaCreations]

Welcome 😊

[@user-gb9dl8yj5z]

Can this help with oil colour too??

[@MadhulaCreations]

No…oils are completely different than acrylics

[@user-ny4hr6jc2h]

For fully dried paint should we use acetone

[@MadhulaCreations]

Not directly...you can use nail polish remover however acetone is more volatile and flammable...whereas rubbing alcohol is less volatile and less toxic...that's the difference

[@ranbcanada]

Mam if we mix sanitizer or mnail polish remover are they safe to use on fabric

[@MadhulaCreations]

If you are using only water, it is fine to use on cloth...otherwise, you cannot use them for your professional works or on fabric....restrict the use to your craft projects and study work...this will ensure that you don't waste the paint and money

[@MadhuMitha-oo1hi]

I have tube paints,which are completely dried out,but they are the recently purchased one,but i don't want to cut the tube,any possible way ma'am, please

[@MadhulaCreations]

If its dried only at the top and you can still feel the paints moving by pressing the tube, you can cut and transfer the good paint to a bottle/jar with tightly closed lid and use it further. If it's completely dried out and it's very still inside, you might not be able to use it. If its recently bought - did you miss to close it fully? If closed properly they would come for years...

[@MadhuMitha-oo1hi]

@@MadhulaCreations yup i closed them properly, but can i mix it with something to make them normal?, cause half of the tube is dried--and honestly I'm so glad that u have replied and trying solve all our issues, that's a great effort though, thank uu

[@MadhulaCreations]

Last option...cut it and see if it's still wet or at least workable. - if yes, you can add tiny amount of water to make it work...if its not workable, very hard to retrieve back!

[@artistpranavjain3593]

Can we use this technique on dry paint on the pallet...

[@MadhulaCreations]

Yes you can.. But again as I said, the pigments will be separated in a different way and since the palette will have only tiny bits of paint left over, you will find it very difficult to make it to a good consistency....

Hello didi !! My acrylic paints are fully dried what can i do with them .... Plz advise .... Can i reuse them ... Plz tell me didi ....... 😢

[@MadhulaCreations]

If its completely dry, I would suggest not to use it...as it will spoil your end result...are they tube paints or bottles? Keep the paints closed properly to avoid drying..

[@user-we4mk2ji8m]

The dried paints are the bottle .... First I was using the bottles ..... But now I am using the tubes ..... I would like to ask u a question ..... Which are good to use bottles or tubes....??

[@MadhulaCreations]

@@user-we4mk2ji8m definitely tube paints...for all my professional works I only use artist-quality tube acrylic paints...for my hobby projects I do use both - tube and bottle paints...

[@user-we4mk2ji8m]

Okk didi thank u

[@pooranichandrasekaran5903]

Hot water - should it be like warm or boiling hot?

[@MadhulaCreations]

No need for boiling water..enough to use water which is hot to touch

[@shubhanginakhe1890]

After adding water,can we use this colours on fabric or only on paper?

[@MadhulaCreations]

Depends - if its only 2-3 drops of water and the paint is in its consistency to paint, you can...if its almost dry, it will be very hard to manipulate the paint on fabric - in that case use it only on paper

[@thasrockstar9790]

Shall we keep these in hot water sister

[@MadhulaCreations]

If the paint is not very dry just cold water will do...

[@shifalir3677]

My acrylic bottle paints are fully dried ..i would like to reuse them ..what should i do maam ?any hacks ??

[@ayushree5148]

Did you tried anything

[@MadhulaCreations]

If it's completely dried, it's really hard to restore it fully. Also even if we are able to restore it to some extent, the output will not be good...

[@orchichowdhury]

Is it normal temperature water or lukewarm water?

[@MadhulaCreations]

Warm water...

[@braj4616]

Hi can we use thinner

[@MadhulaCreations]

Oil thinners? Which one?

[@braj4616]

@@MadhulaCreations paint thinner

[@MadhulaCreations]

There are specific acrylic mediums you can use to change the consistency of the paint..nothing else will suit...

[@Artistkalakar1]

It means finally dried acylic tubes are of no use. My whole acylic box is dried 😒 😑

[@MadhulaCreations]

Ya don't use if it's fully dried! Happens often with bottles or if you haven't closed the bottles/tubes properly...for tubes, just press and see if there is still wet paint inside..if yes, cut and store in a air tight jar and use it.

[@HeyEyedontLie]

Very useful video. But sound is low..

[@MadhulaCreations]

Noted..thank you for letting me know..will definitely check!

[@artospherebysaksham3624]

It did not work

[@MadhulaCreations]

Which one did not work? Please do let me know in detail the status of your paint..lets try some methods to revive..may be it was completely dry beyond usage?

[@renukavadalamaani7093]

Omg hilarious 😊

[@MadhulaCreations]

😃 did you try?

[@husainkuttivayal6766]

Yes very useful
