You'd get better results if you first mixed the art paint 1:1 with something like " Liquitex Air brush medium" , then used a proper reducer to thin as you like. It has a pigment binder in it. so it doesn't wash out the pigment I have no problem using it on canvas and polystyrene sheet and synthetic paper. the airbrush medium by liquitex is made for turning heavier acrylics into airbrush paint. the 1:1 ratio pre reducer is a little thick still for my liking. I get good enough results for practise without wasting more expensive paints.

I agree. Learned it late in the game, but Liquitex Airbrush Medium beats the snot out of any alcohol, Windex, or the like for Water based acrylics. Sucks that my main supplier, Testors, is out of business, just as I discovered how well it works with Acryl

Well........ Liquitex airbrush medium is just a type of acrylic polyurethane just like Createx 4030 MinWax polycrylic, or even plain ole Future floor wax. Sense Future floor wax is so thin you can use just that to thin thick art paints and craft paints. In a pinch I've used Future floor wax and acrylic paint as a primer/base coat and it works great.

@@BennyCFD It's not exactly the same. I don't know the exact differences but I have used all of the products you mentioned. I have all of them in my paint cabinet. Just spraying each of them plain out of an airbrush will show you that they all behave a little differently. Personally, I found(after much struggling over the last few years) that airbrush medium and homemade reducer(water, alcohol, acrylic flow release) works fantastically well to get any acrylic paint, tube, airbrush, or otherwise, to behave through an airbrush.

So I'm new to the whole airbrush thing, I'm cheap but I basically just use Walmart waterbased acrylic mixed with a water and fantastic multipurpose cleaner at a 3:1 ratio, now I'm not making badass art like this channel has, I'm just painting fishing lures and it seems to work decent. As long as I pre mix the paint before putting it in the cup, otherwise it kinda globs up, hopefully I'll get some createx or trident paints in the near future but until then this works for me :) P.s.

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to do a test. Like others noted here, using Fantastik with cheap acrylic paints works great. It's better than ammonia-free window cleaner and much better than diluting with just water. I can get fine lines with no blurring even though the molecules are bigger with acrylic paints vs airbrush paint. Sure, my Createx Illustration paints combined with Createx 4012 reducer works the best, but it's significantly more expensive. I airbrush backgrounds so it requires a lot of pigment to cover an entire area, so I'll use cheaper acrylic and Fantastik in that case.

If you want to use artist paints (Golden, Liquitex and Vallejo) and you're not using their thinnest variety (Golden High Flow, Vallejo Model Air) thin it with Airbrush Medium - it works far better than water and allows you to thin the paint down a great deal.

answer is it depends on your airbrush nozzle/needle size and the pigment in the paint. I have had no issues spraying low end craft acrylics through a 0.5 nozzle, but you really start noticing a difference at like .35 or lower. Where the lower quality pigments will start to clog regardless of thinners.

I'm not far ahead of you in terms of experimentation as a relative newbie to all of this. Here's how I proceeded. I started with a few ready mixed airbrush acrylics, to be sure I enjoyed the new experience to the max, and to get a feel for things and improve technique. Then I bought thinner and a flow aid and tried mixing my own. It was hit and miss!! 🤣 (to say the least). But perseverence got me a good result and now it's much less expensive to mix my own paints. Of course I'd say it depends how much you plan to airbrush and for what. As someone who really does more infill than anything else, I find my own mixes are fine, but be prepared for a few failures along the way.

I airbrush only using acrylic craft paints all the time. The 2oz bottles of the all purpose or multi-use kinds work the best. I mix 5ml of paint with 7ml of normal blue type car window washer fluid. Mix it up really well and it should be about the right consistency. Add a bit more fluid if the paint is still a little too thick. It works great and you can get so many awesome colors for cheap compared to buying airbrush paints.

I did do some good work but I have to say I always had constant tip dry. But here's the thing seriously i went to trident paints and wickerd and you can really tell the difference and its so much easyir to use hardly any tip dry at all so i recommend getting the trident paints you will be in heavin.

Some very well known paint brands (golden acrylics etc.) will provide you specific thinner for their paints, or even airbrush specific thinners. You will have no issue with those, also the ratio is usually not the one you used. The big issue I have with airbrush specific brands is that 1) you don’t really know the pigments they use (a good art paint brand will specific exactly what they use for each single color) 2) the paints are not lightfast nor archival guaranteed 3) the volume of each bottle is ridiculous and made this way so that people think it’s a super high end product / fits the « miniature » aspect of what most people use airbrush for.

Back in the 60's other than inks, watercolors, "Doc Martin's paints, in the USA tube acrylics were about the only thing. The main issues with tube acrylics is the size of the pigment. Using a Pasche VL #5 or bigger fluid nozzle you can spray it. Using an EFBE .15 mil fluid nozzle, it'll just clog. We used to manufacture airbrush acrylic paints here in Australia 25 years ago. We had to have the pigment bases for tube colors process to a finer size to work is anything under a .3 mil airbrush. I do know that Golden Color paints are sold here in Oz and they make an excellent fine pigment acrylic paint that can be brushed and also reduced to airbrush. One thought, if you are mixing a brand of binder, make sure it's in all your paints used in your artwork. I found some brands to no adhere as well to other brands... learn from my experience... adhesion problems can raise their ugly head using frisk film...
@dannyruiz68683 жыл бұрын
I can see the need sometimes of using a mixture of some kind besides water. But a lot depends on your masking...at least for me. I seldom use friskett film that most art stores sell. I'm and old 80's Airbrush Illustrator. I primarily work on Illustration Board or 8mil frosted acetate. Not on cars or motorcycles. I use 3mil clear actetate to cut my masks. I can see my pencil sketch more clearly and only score the acetetate mask with an exacto blade. I simply crack the acetate, and the mask is created. The reason for this is simple. I spray my masks on the side that meets the board with re-positional spray mount. When I apply my glued mask to the art board, it will stick, and I do my airbrushing. When I'm done, I remove the mask and mark it and save it in case I need to go back. The reason water mixed with acetate paint I use is because the fixative will leave leftover spray mount on my illustration. If it was any kind of spirit based mixture, it would create problems. Since water and oil don't mix that well, I can use Bestine (Rubber Cement Thinner) to wash away the left over fixative spray mount from my board. If the paint were oil based, it would wipe away my airbrushing. Here's a link to some of my work: imgur.com/user/DannyDoggo/submitted

Compared to an 'intended for airbrush' liquid (in bottle), the 'art acrylics' have a larger pigment particle size that no amount of reducer is going to help with...'tube acrylics' are not designed to be reduced that 'fluid'...and at the manufacturing level, the pigment particles aren't ground fine-enough. Both Createx and House of Kolor point out their pigment particle size as a 'sell-point' to this fact. They mention 'will flow through any nozzle size...but that's just a 'sideline' of what they are really doing, and that is ensuring a 'very modern, very smooth flow' regardless of tip size. Their processing is to address 'anti-spatter' and flow, but they simply sell it as 'micro pigmentation to improve nozzle flow'... Even if you reduced it beyond 'washout', you'd most-likely still see undesired characteristics from 'tube acrylics' because of this.

What if: 1) you use distilled water instead tap water PLUS 2) you use what the airbrush community call "retarder" or "flow improver" (that basically is a "surface breacker"... someone use 1 or 2 drops of disk washer liquid soap) can these "recipe" improve the "spotted line" you get with the simply tap water? (you know... all this is for tame down the overall cost 'coz the proper reducer/thinner cost a lot)

i tried using thinner and it will not mix. literally as soon as you stop shaking it, it separates leaving the thinner on top. Idk why. reducer mixes fine with same paints.

what does this art paint do to the airbrush when you are done? Is it harder to clean? I would be afraid it will clog it all up

It washed out ok when I tested it …and if you couldn’t tell the paint I used wasn’t a fresh tube lol 😂 you could also use a strainer if you are concerned 👍🏻

Art Acrylic paints thinned with 70 percent isopropyl alcohol works too. Make sure it has the thickness of skim milk.

So what if you use both paint thinner and water?

separation with the booth of them mixed gives a crackle age finish look. it also looks cool though, also depends on the mil (thickness of paint) of finish paint you are painting

I wouldn’t recommend that mix…but that said feel free to experiment as Phil mentioned it may yield a interesting effect 👍🏻

Usually acrylics are diluted with alcohol, best Isopropanol.

Ok..im starting to think i just need a better airbrush... ive gotta mix literally like 3 to 1 thinner to paint to get anywhere near enough flow through my brushes. Ive been using the tamiya thinner for acrylics...which basically seems to be alcohol.

It might work if the mixture was 1.5 times the amount of thinner to paint.

Just buy medium for airbrush and mix with heavy body acrilics
