To be more environmentally safe, you can let your rinse water sit overnight and let the residue sink to the bottom of the container. Pour off the water out onto the ground and let the solids dry out. Throw out the clump and reuse the container.
@ElizabethStHilaire2 жыл бұрын
When I was trained by Golden Paints they suggested using a 5 gallon bucket with one bag of sandbox sand. Poor the paint water into the bucket and sit it in the sun, somewhere it can dry. The paint solids will be trapped in the sand, and the water will evaporate. This way absolutely no paint goes into the ground. :-)

Just a little tip that has saved me from the same frustrating situation with paint dried on a foam stamp. Alcohol will break down acrylic paint. I have actually been successful removing some spots on my clothes this way. I usually put in in an old spray bottle and spritz it on the stamp and let it sit till the paint starts to get soft and wipe it. Sometimes it takes a few times but eventually I can remove enough for it to work again. Hope this helps.
@ElizabethStHilaire Жыл бұрын
Thanks! I just make sure that the paint does not dry on the surface :-) I find that to be the easiest way, prevention. But yes, you can also use hand sanitizer as its primary ingredient is rubbing alcohol.

So it's about contrast, you don't want the stamps to be dark when the paper is dark, you want high contrast. Also the metallic paint does not allow the paint to soak through, it resists the magenta because it is opaque! the rice paper is the key. Oh I need to wear an apron, don't I????

One way is to let paints on the cloths dry, and then reuse until it’s ‘painted’ all over and dried again and again like layers. You can then wash or dampen to reuse since the dry acrylics will not come off. Saves papers and not polluting the water system. Just sharing useful tips I learned from other artists.

I wanted to suggest that when you use paper towels to clean up, if you are using a sturdy roll like Costco or Viva, I wipe my paint messes or extra paint with the paper towel, and then when I am done with a color, or for the session, I water down the acrylic paints on the pallet, and soak the paper towels in it, similar to how you brush on the water downed paint, and I use the dried paper towels as collage papers, which adds a nice texture to the work! paint stays out of the drain and landfill. win-win.

I could give it a try but in my experience nothing reactivates dried acrylic paint because of its' polymer base, and you cannot scrub the foam as it is fragile... you can scrub rubber stamps like the dickens but not these. I will give it a try though Christina, why not?

Love your inspiring techniques...will this technique work with any rice paper?

It will but you need a sturdy sheet and much rice paper is thin. So much water will cause thinner sheets to tear.
