I think the problem you're having is due to the acrylic paint you're using. Try mixing up a mix of watercolor the consistency of whole milk, mix it in a disposable cup first to make sure all the particles are dissolved. The problem with the acrylic paints is the plastic binder they use, that's what causes them to clog. Let us know how that works for you. Hold your spray bottle about 6 inches above your target...practice distances on scrap paper first.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283183125596019267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514699531408935998.post-80266996903362983722012-09-29T16:24:04.995-04:002012-09-29T16:24:04.995-04:00Here is another: Good view of thinning acrylic pa...Here is another: Good view of thinning acrylic paint.<br />It is on You Tube: Enjoy! <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Y3roDuRlBE<br />by Golden Acrylics. <br /><br />Enjoy!

This allows the acrylic painter to achieve rich stains on surfaces such as watercolor paper and unprimed canvas. 4 oz (118 ml) jar. If you put this into the water it will the acrylic paint flow. I know they are expensive but also use Golden Acylic Liquid Paints. <br />They are more viable as sprays. <br />Here are a couple from water colors. <br />Acrylic Flow Release — Breaks the surface tension of water, increasing its ability to soak into porous surfaces.

I've found that I tend to spray too much. Less is more, I think. But I don't know enough to tell you more than that. I see other people on videos misting with stencils and they work so well for them. I need more practice, I think.<br /><br />I enjoyed all your pages. The pouncing does look like it was fun! :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514699531408935998.post-68796430698215787742012-09-28T16:47:18.164-04:002012-09-28T16:47:18.164-04:00the pages are beautiful!the pages are beautiful!Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08703463476504355697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514699531408935998.post-36934524088832328282012-09-28T16:19:16.783-04:002012-09-28T16:19:16.783-04:00I have made my own acrylic spray paint.

I just use the travel size spray bottles I buy at Target, make sure it has a cap to cover the spritzer.If you are using a product similar to Golden Fluid Acrylic you need about a 50/50 mix of paint and water. If you are using a craft grade paint you need more like 25% paint and 75% water. Shake it until your arm wants to fall off :) to make sure that you get all of the lumps out or the bottle will clog. You also need to keep the cap on when not in use or air will get in there and mess things up as well. Hope that helps! Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11083405477854615568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514699531408935998.post-54284169725862889292012-09-28T15:41:12.822-04:002012-09-28T15:41:12.822-04:00great textures with the stencils! my favorite, tho...great textures with the stencils! my favorite, though, is the chaos page! :)aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17007656886393098784noreply@blogger.com
