Julie's Art Vlog 62: Making Glazes & Washes from Garbage

Don't throw away that empty acrylic paint bottle! It's not really empty and you can make a "new" bottle of paint from it. In this video I show you how and I share a bit about how Glazes and Washes are similar but different. Fluid Matte Medium: shrsl.com/4l7pv is what I use to make my glazes.

What a fantastic idea, Julie! The glazes will be quite useful, such a good idea.

What a great idea for garbage, will definitely be trying this! Thanks for the idea.

Very useful to see the difference between a glaze and a wash almost side by side - such as the fact that the wash soaks through the paper whereas the glaze did not. Thank you.

I have added water to get the last bits of color, but will start adding fluid matte medium now… thanks!

[@BalzerDesigns]

Wonderful!

[@lauramiller8175]

Sounds like a great class! Sorry to miss. Will you ever teach it online?

[@BalzerDesigns]

I think it would be tough because people would need access to soooo many supplies. We used 27 different types of paints and mediums in class. That's a lot of stuff for a supply list. Not to mention color variations....

@@BalzerDesigns Oh ok, fair point. This was on my daughter's birthday so I'll look for the next IRL running! Sounds fabulous!!!

I have just seen your stencil - Messy Writing is i think, the name. How can i get one? I went to your home site but couldnt find it. Sorry to contact you in this clumsy manner...

[@ellengoodloe9786]

I've added water to the dregs of my fluid paints, but didn't label them. I'd just shake them to listen for viscosity difference. Now I will. label them and do some with the fluid matte medium, which I bought by accident. This is a great way to use it.

[@BalzerDesigns]

I'm impressed that you can listen for viscosity differences!

[@ellengoodloe9786]

@@BalzerDesigns 🤣 The ones with lots of water sound more liquidy. ha ha
