Rae, I love you but Betterhelp is a really shady bussiness. They aren't even legally required to pair you up with a real therapist. Most of the times, they will just pair you up with an amateur or someone who's still in college. I get the therapist they provided for you has been able to actually help you and that you probably didn't even know most of their therapists aren't real therapists but just be aware of the fact that most of their employees don't actually have the proper credentials next time they offer to sponsor you, signed a mental health advocate.

[@SushiSnake]

They also refuse to accept insurance. Of any kind. I tried. All they want is money, they don't actually care about your mental health. I heavily suggest that if you want or need a therapist, please go to a local one or nearby enough to drive to. In this day and age, most will offer over the phone or video call therapy if in-person can't be done. Betterhelp is a scam and they're not helpful in regards to payment. Yeah, payment plans, but I have no money (as many others as well) and only have insurance, so. Thanks Betterhelp for saying those with money matter more than those without.

Little fun experience I had a couple days ago I have a type of paint at home that's mostly used in schools and is very accessable: tempera gouache. While it's kinda okay, not only the containers are ridiculously small, the paint isn't as opaque as I would like it. So I took some paint (I tested with black since I barely use it) and mixed some stuff: with body moisturizer (just to increase the amount of paint), toothpaste (thickening and amount), corn starch and incense ashes (idk, I had it around me). Unsurprisingly, the corn starch, body moisturizer and the ashes worked for their purpose. And the toothpaste lightened up the black (not too much, but it did), and applied to other colors, it made them a little more unsaturated (which is great, the brightness of the green kinda angers me). In conclusion: my weird ass experiment worked and I'm turning it into a new hack.

[@hawkeyescoffee6399]

Toothpaste often contains a mild bleaching agent. I've ruined enough tops when it's dripped on it (even when cleaning it off quickly), so that explains the lightening effect. It's an interesting thing to keep in mind though when you want that effect in your paint. I actually wonder if it would work after the paint was dry: like a small mix of toothpaste & water on a brush or whatever...kinda like a milder form of when people tie dye/fabric paint with bleach on black T-shirts etc. Hmm

[@sheerbeauty]

Spotted an alchemist!

[@PixiePrincess501]

Regarding the glycerin: I don't know about using it to extend acrylics, but if you have watercolors from the tube in a pallet and have issues with the paint getting all crackly and crumbly when dry, a tiny drop of glycerin actually prevents it, and also gives the paint more life! (I don't know how to explain it, but it keeps the paint soft enough to reactivate so much more easier than before!) I use this method for both my watercolors and gouache paints.

When it comes to adding lotion to paint, I can speak from experience that bath and body works lotion develops a weird texture and in general just does not go well with any sort of liquid.

[@johanneshalberstadt3663]

Since you asked, what glycerin is: Glycerin is a trivalent alcohol, meaning it has three functional -OH (oxygen and hydrogen atoms) alcohol groups. The molecule just consists of three carbon atoms in a row, to each of which one alcohol group is attached, making it the smallest possible trivalent alcohol in organic chemistry. Glycerin acts as an emulsifier, meaning it can make polar and non-polar liquids (like oil vs water) mix together, and has strong humectant qualities, meaning it attracts water to itsself. This is also why it is used in cosmetics as it helps to pull moisture into the outer layers of the skin. Glycerin exists in basically every living creature, since it is such a fundamental building block and functional compound. Glycerin is the base molecule of nutritional fats and oils, which consist of a glycerin molecule and three fatty acids that bind with their acid group to each of the three alcohol groups of the glycerin. Glycerin can also be used as a cosmetic or household cleanser, as it can bind to and break up fatty residue but also dissolve in water. For cosmetic use it should be cosmetic or pharmaceutical grade, which is purer and cleaner. It can even be used as part of enemas (don't do yourself), breaking up the constipation.

We watercolorists have known the "mix in glycerine" trick forever, it is a humectant (attracts water) and wetting agent, so it's great to add a drop to a pan of watercolor we've poured for the palette, especially if it dries too hard or cracks.

You can activate watercolour pencils with isopropyl alcohol instead of water. Just put it in a waterbrush pen and it won't make the colours bleed through the paper like they do with water. You can use Q-tips to blend graphite or colour pencils together if you can't afford a stompf. Create some sugar water and coat a page with it. Then use the sugar water together with watercolours. It will create a nice blooming effect.

The cost first off is literally thousands of dollars cheaper than what I was paying a previous in person therapist. But also they did most of the work to find a good therapist specifically for me rather than having to go through different ones in person until you're comfortable with someone and thousands of dollars later. also i communicate how I want to, I sometimes do it by text but other times phone calls and video chat. Idk... all I'm saying is for anyone saying anything.... have YOU actually tried it or are you simply bashing a company bc of some random comments and videos? Genuinely and truly betterhelp has helped me work through some dark stuff recently.. really dark. I can honestly say I'm probably still here bc of the work I did along with the therapist. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Can you make a painting without using white pencil colour

[@ChubbyCreatureArt]

one of my best "hacks" is making acrylic paints into Alcohol Acrylics ... mix acrylic paint with isopropyl alcohol and a Paint medium (like Matt medium) or corn/potato starch. if you thin it a lot with alcohol it start actually looking like you paint with copics ^^ also it drys within seconds so its awesome if you don't want to wait for the paint to dry. but best mix it in a container with a lid as it fast evaporates if left open

Glycerin,I've heard that it makes the paint dry quicker then 10 mins. And it makes it super thin don't recommend really..

To preserve your oil paint on your pallet especially when you've mixed that perfect colour just add a few drops of clove oil to cotton wool, place it on the pallet and cover with a box or a cheap roasting dish.

I HAVE A HACK FOR PANIC ATTACKS!! So, apparently biting into a lemon (rind and all) is a awful/bitter enough experience for your taste buds that it literally pulls your brain out of anything else that's going on- even a panic attack. So when life gives you lemons .....bite them! I honestly now carry an emergency lemon with me when I go out. 🍋🍋

Prison paint, huh? Now I'm on a mission to get locked up and paint some murals for a pack of cigarettes or two. Since there's not much to do in prison, I bet the audience there will be more eager to follow my art journey. WATCH MY CAREER TAKE OFF! 🌴🎭

Omg I thought I was the only human that hates egg….IM NOT THE WEIRD ONE .. it’s a normal…well not normal it’s a 100% phobia but still…IM NOT THE ONLY ONE

I spy a little Cell. I use a lot of makeup brushes I don't need as art brushes to get some interesting shapes and textures. I've also used sawdust to texture some pieces before too. There was a trick of putting salt on paper when painting watercolor galaxies, but that never worked well for me. I'll stick with splattering white paint or liquid tape or wax.

[@pandoraaaraseth1040]

Silly girl, do the cornstarch AND glycerin together. 1. Your prison paint was too diluted, too much oil heavy lotion (cheaper lotion is better, smoother bc mixes better with water though some oil is needed), and too much water/not enough candy color utilized. It gets really bold and pigmented if you want it to. Cool stuffs though

[@astrinymris9953]

Um... Blick has carried acrylic extenders which slow drying since forever. Mind you, the store brand glycerine is much cheaper, but probably less tricky to get the right amount without overdosing your paint, but there you are. Just sayin'. ;-D

[@-awkward_mess-]

The only reason I don't think making paint with skittles is a good idea is because... I would eat the skittles

[@EmmaGoldmanlovesyou]

The lotion was hard to mix in the ‘candy paint’ because in prison/jail the lotion you get from commissary is crappy, usually water based. You’re looks really creamy, so it was a bit harder to mix.
