Acrylic Painting Tips - Stretching your paint with a gel extension

[tesiablackburn]

Hey Emen:

Yep, I use this all the time in my work, I use tons of gel to stretch my paint. Thanks for your comment!

[Emen]

thanks for the tip! So you do use this throughout all your work, or do you use the heavy body acrylics as well?

You bet, I use lots of gels to stretch my paint and you can add them into the heavy body as well. If you are using Golden you can extend the paint by up to 70% without any degradation of the paint color. cheers!
