  • Acrylics drying too fast?! No worries! Learn how to keep your acrylics wet longer so you can blend and work with them easier.

    This can be a problem- because once acrylics dry they are permanent.
    So in this lesson, I’m going to share with you 7 ways to keep your acrylics from drying too fast.

    Question, the Atlier acrylic is it similar to gouache paint?

    • @Createfulart
      @Createfulart  Рік тому

      Atlier is like traditional gouache in some ways and not in others. They have what they call "unlocking formula" that makes them workable again. So you can move the paint around even when they are dry which is like gouache and not like acrylics. This makes the paint wet or workable longer, unlike gouache that dry fast like watercolors and acrylics do. The colors are transparent, translucent and opaque in which gouache are opaque. Hope that helps! Learn more at createfulart.com

    👨🏾‍🎨 I'm sorry for what I'm about to tell you........don't tell me to like and subscribe in the first seconds of the video 😞.....I've never seen your videos before, i got here when searching for tips, it kind of made me not watch it, and I'm pretty sure many people feel the same way. Other than that...you actually teached me good information, and you are so cute 😊, i just subscribed to your channel, but not because you told me to. But because i wanted to...again sorry, but please don't do it again 😁

    • @Createfulart
      @Createfulart  3 роки тому +11

      I'm glad you found my channel. Let me explain a few things to you. Subscribing actually helps creators make content for you that would otherwise not be free. Most people forget to subscribe and by the end of the video click to the next video. 75% of my active viewers are not subscribers and that hurts my ability to share more content with them as UA-cam dings me for this. So when I ask for a subscribe I'm asking those who enjoy my content to help me make more for them. I'm not talking to those who don't know if they like my content or not. So I will ask at the beginning of every video until viewers begin to realize that their support actually means something.
