[@topcat5990]

Looks amazing and effortless ....Just one question. Are you concerned at all that using so much water will diminish the grip that the paint needs to stay on the canvas and maybe reduces the life and stability of the work?? TC

No, not at all. I also use a lot of paint.

Hi Jane, just curious, are you using the heavy body Liquitex exclusively as opposed to the Liquitex basic.

Сегодня наткнулась на Ваши уроки и влюбилась в них! У Выс такая чудесная фамилия!!! Подскажите пожалуйста какие Вы используете краски. Я пишу маслом, но хочу начать писать акрилом. У меня нет практических знаний об акриле как о масле. Если я правильно поняла, то это Liquitex. Вот только базовые или профессиональные? Или Вы используете и другие фирмы. Что Вы думаете про белила? Обязательно использовать дорогие профессиональные или можно взять подешевле, другой фирмы? Можете ответить на английском. Спасибо.

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Огромное спасибо за ваше прекрасное сообщение. Мне нравится использовать акрил Liquitiex Heavy Body Acrylics. На моем сайте JaneSlivkaGallery. com, у меня есть список цветов, которые я люблю использовать. Часто мне нравится заказывать продукты и Краски liquqitex через CheapJoes.com. Белилой не пользуюсь. Наслаждайтесь переходом на акрил и получайте массу удовольствия от процесса.
