Dyan Reaveley Paints FAQs

[@laurette3231]

We appreciate your educating us on this product of yours it is lovely Dyan, so are you. You make everyone smile with your personality to match the colors of your paint! Thank you.

[@pattibealer]

You are the best teacher! You explain things that really help. It took me a while to learn just how little paint I need to use....I should have watched this first! I did learn from another video you did. I just love your videos, I guess it's time to binge watch them....

[@DistractedDaisy]

Wow Dyan, I just bought my Purple Dylusions this past month (12/2017)at Michaels in Las Vegas Or Hobby Lobby in Las Vegas, (can't remember where.. and I still have that problem with your paint. Too bad you did not recall those bad paints- we are still getting them out here and that sucks!

[@Hedgehogsinthemist123]

I have eight colours of these paints. They are fabulous to use, so smooth, unlike other acrylic paints, and I realise I have been using too much at a time when I'm stencilling. I shall invest in some blending tools, although they appear quite expensive. A very informative video thank you xx

[@DoloresJRush]

Dyan is a colorist. Warm colors, cool colors and neutrals. Tints are when you add white to a color (pink is a tint of red) and shades are when you add black.

[@MJWINNER_Sketchbook999]

Sounds lovely Shades when you add black. Wow PEACE

[@judithmorgan1718]

i've been misting my daubers with water and adding color to other projects or 'drying' off on paper towels, which i can then 'reconstitute' with a water spritz and add textured color to other pages. eventually i use the dried paper towels (kitchen roll) as backgrounds as well and it's fun to layer these on packaging for repurposing as mini canvases, or cut them up with different edged scissors for border accents, embellishments or stamping backgounds.

Thank you Dyan, so much valuable info on this and all you videos. Love your colours and have all your paints so far, till you give us more !!!

[@loisseeley5039]

Loved your video. I have recently purchased an assortment of the paints and I am eager to try them. But like most folks, how to choose the colors. What goes with what??? Your video explained it so simply that even I could understand it. Everything you mentioned was great, from the paints, how much to use, and even how to clean the stencils. I also loved how you explained blender tools and how to preserve them. I am off now to watch your other videos. Thanks for making this video! LS

[@phyllisduffy6827]

It's 2018 and the paint is still seizing up. My white and yellow are super thick . The colors I invested in were released mid 2018 and ordered from Ranger.

[@sandraparent7454]

I got a couple of those funky ones! And I did exactly like you said, just added a bit of water and they were no problem!

[@katf3836]

Thanks. I just acquired all of the paints and a bunch of the tools w/extra foam heads. I wondered about the cleaning or not cleaning of the sponge heads. Thanks. This is a great TIP vid for the Dylusions paints. I love them!!

[@rosavera7]

Awesome product, great for any level of expertise, can't wait to get the new colors, thanks for the info! -Rosa V.

[@TheDougjen]

I am having the same problem with my linen white and my fresh lime, but they are not blamangey like the purple and pink (yes both of mine did that too) - the lime and the white have gone completely hard. I had not even used my white. So not a problem with the lid being off. (I always spritz my paints also just as a caution due to being in Australia). I have all the colours and this is the fourth and fifth pots that have died on me.. very disappointed with them...

[@angievanwyk8161]

Thanks very informative just love your presentations

[@ginatroutman7004]

I love red, pink and orange together. Those are my fav combo!

[@bethofwildflowers]

Dyan, could you make a new post on your blog or on facebook with the coördinating colors including the new colors?

[@patcyzauskas7216]

I miss utubes from you. Just love your products for backgrounds that I use in cardmaking!! I have not found a place to buy these pens but admit I haven't looked at Ramger itself. Thanks for being you.

[@ellentyler928]

Hi Dyan I have some Dylusion paints they have dried out. Some are only 1/4 used and they also gone hard. I tried adding water but it didn't dissolve just stayed like paste with dried bits in much like I mixed it with sand . I have had them for a few years and feel I should be able to get some more use out of them as they were a tad expensive I just can't throw them away hehe!!!

[@patcyzauskas7216]

I have used your sprays but have not purchased any paints yet. I have all of Tim Holtz distress ink pads and have used some of his stains. I only am card maker (16 yrs now) only starting with Ranger products about 1 3/4 yrs now. Really gotten into making my own background papers. Only been die cutting 1 1/2 yrs. I love your bright colors!! I use distress inks mostly to watercolor with. Love Tims bright cheery colors more than his darker colors. I now need to mix his and yours together. Would love to see video using all Rangers designers colors together. My roommate and BFF is British (now USA citizen). She is in Mundesly with her mum in hospital in Norwich. I really miss her but have been occupying my time playing in my craft room. Love watching u so I can think bout her. And miss her mums "bye" at end our phone calls. So hearing yours is wonderful!' Thanks. I may just break down and buy a few of your paints to play with during this difficult time.

[@dianadevlin3717]

I could watch you all day, brilliant videos! Tfs

[@katev.b.2785]

I wish my English would be better to understand everything, because I love your videos and your creativity. Many greetings from Germany

[@linneakokinos4550]

Thank you, i have these for a while but i didn't use them to much ,but with alll this info i plan to use them more now.

[@caroled3309]

Just brilliant!

[@shannonwooters3443]

Dyan we need tons of videos of you just creating and talking... 😁pretty please with a cherry on top. Lol forreal tho. 🖤

[@musictoliveby08]

Dyan has started quite a few VERY reasonably priced online classes where she teaches via FaceBook lives which are saved to be viewed at any time, once the class has been purchased. They are about 2-3 hours long and all amazing. Search Dyan Reaveley Art on Etsy. There are about 8 of them and counting. :)

[@Lizforaday]

Aparentently the problem has not been resolved. It is 2018 and my purple is doing what you are explaining in the video. I've only had it less than 6 months.

[@helenspedding-lowe5469]

Quite a few of mine have gone like jelly too - really annoying because it was really hard work to get them useable - they arent good at all ....

[@MJWINNER_Sketchbook999]

Update please are you still using Dylusions paints? Did u buy the purple or you have decided not to use them? Update appreciated thankyou. May God Bless You.

[@NolaGB]

As of yesterday ... I now have each color that is offered in my area. They're difficult to find as Michael's and Hobby Lobby don't carry much of the Tim Holtz/Ranger line. Loathe having to order things, as shipping becomes quite costly..

[@dianerood9106]

NG B try joggles, joanns, and scrapbook.com

[@sylviacrafts6704]

Oh my gosh you are so funny! Love your art and your acting as well just your all around talent and those paints 💓💓💓💓💓💓👏AWESOMENESS IN A JAR,not that I own or could ever own any I just don't have the coins for it although this does not stop me from watching your videos and tutorials because you inspire me ,make me laugh and remind me that life can be good not just bad, warm wishes hugs and kisses for the 👸 of Art Journaling 🎨🎬👗👠.

[@mkitten3643]

U can do what I do which is 2 watch like a hawk 4 sales. We've got a Hobby Lobby pretty close, they do 40% off coupons, sometimes the paints are $2.99! Crazy prices. The stencils are very reasonable on Amazon or at Hobby Lobby... even Michael's. Don't even know if you've got access 2 those stores. Amazon can be pricey, but I truly watch & wait 4 the items I want 2 go down 2 an affordable price. Dyan Reaveley keeps me semi sane . Her style is exactly what I've always wanted but didnt know it until I found her. Never liked all that cutesy sugary stuff out there. And my fave is mixing the stamps together. Using different stamps 2 make a mermaid tale 4 a lady instead of giving her legs. So much fun!!!!! Good luck 2 u!!

[@lajkitty]

Fab as always Dyan! 😘

[@vborg1115]

I love your paint :-) have them all and will definitely buy the new ones when they comes to Norway! I just received your creative journal too and have so much fun :-)

[@MrsBee-uo2lc]

Great..... Now I want these.

[@dianadevlin3717]

Can the nibs on the paint pens be replaced/fixed?? Are the pens refillable?

[@artenchanted]

Very interesting. Thanks for the information :)

[@jeanieferretti4203]

Great information! Thank you

[@petrasplace6427]

Where can i find the blog post?

[@walkerdo2003]

Please turn the volume up so I can hear.

[@venusmcelfy4439]

My paints are thicker and have a odor of milk going sour. Is this also due to lack of water?

[@babescraftroom]

+Venus Mcely call Ranger and they will help you.

[@key55551]

MY GRAPE IS SO THINK.WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!!

[@TwilightAngel_89]

4 hours to properly dry? I thought it was quick drying 🤔

[@annaparry4045]

Love Dyan but the audio doesn't match the video.

[@LadyBlueStudios]

+Anna Parry does for me, might have been on your end

[@igniteivan]

Lost interest at the part you called Yellow a primary colour. Really???????????????

[@TheKazadoodle]

It is a primary colour in painting. Yes, really!

[@elizabethdaniels2716]

Nice colorways, terrible paints.
