 Hey guys, okay, so here is another deco art Monday and I promised before we would get too far into doing lots of really fun Interesting projects with the paints. We do some paint comparisons. One of the things I wanted to do Not only for you guys, but for my own personal reference compare the deco art media fluid acrylic with the golden fluid acrylic I've found that a lot of the colors are either they at least in the bottle. They look Really close if not the same. I don't know if they're gonna Spread the same or be the same opacity or transparency, but that's what we're gonna find out. I Pulled out a few. I don't want to do all of them to be honest with you, but I pulled out a few I pulled out Teal in both paints gray Titan buff Hansi yellow medium Viridian and there's three bottles there. We'll talk about when we get to that color and Thalo turquoise So let's do them one at a time. I went ahead and put some Feud ball black ink on these Rolodex cards So that we could see if we're gonna be able to see the ink through the paint or not Before we put any paint on there. I'm gonna put Golden and then deco art so we know which is which And then we're going to take a little bit of each paint on this brush and let's just see what happens This is the deco art Cobalt teal hue these two are a little bit different Enged color So it spreads really nicely It's not super opaque the drawer It rins off my brush and let's try the golden the golden is a little It's a slightly different color and it's a lot more opaque But you can still see the pen through it, but not as much So in all fairness, let's get the deco art one back out. No, it's still it's a lot more opaque The color is really nice. I actually think I like the color better, but it's definitely more transparent than that golden All right, so that is the teal So I'm gonna write the color on there So the next one we're gonna do is Payne's gray When I've done Payne's gray comparisons in the past that Golden one always seems to be a lot more blue than the other brands, but let's find out. It's our brush off First we have our deco art and even if these are more transparent. They are more affordable than the golden Okay, there is the Decor art. It's fairly transparent. It's fairly opaque, but it's not very blue And that just depends. I think it's personal preference. What kind of Payne's gray color that you like. I Will use them all but I like one that is More blue Payne's gray bottle is all icky. I won't close all the way All right, let's shake it up a little bit because it's been sitting for a little If they've been sitting for a while you want to give them a good shake before you do this Okay, so here is the golden see how much more blue it is and but they have about the same opacity So that's nice to know, but they are definitely different colors That's Payne's gray next we will do the Thalo turquoise we're gonna do the Titan buff last since it's the lightest color because I'll probably end up getting a clean brush Okay, so this is Thalo turquoise and right away. I can tell you that the golden one looks a lot more green than the deco art Just because the paints have the same color name doesn't mean they're the same color And they're different brands like this. I'm able to see how to spell it because I always spell it wrong Oh, see I did it again spelled it wrong. Oh well It's gonna stay that way now Because yeah, that's spelled wrong and I know that you don't have to point it out to me Okay, so this is the golden and I think it's gonna be greener than the deco art one. I think the deco art one's gonna be pretty blue There's golden here is the deco art one and see you can tell before you've taken out of the bottle It look I don't know if you guys can see that on camera, but definitely looks more blue see I Actually like the deco art color better because I think it's more of a true turquoise And so far the opacity is about the same. It's pretty close except for the teal So let's do another one So now This is the golden veridian green hue and it's pretty green This is the deco art veridian and it is bluer and darker They also have this phthalo green yellow, but it's not even close. So I wasn't sure which one We're gonna do the two veridians. We're gonna compare them straight across like we've been doing So first we have our golden Which is pretty green and pretty transparent and this is that was veridian Green hue and this one is just just says of veridian and it's a lot darker green It's still a green, but it's a lot darker and it looks like it's yeah more of a yellow green And it's a lot more opaque. I do like it though they seem to both go on very nicely and smoothly they Will go back and look at them after they're dry, but they seem to have the same kind of finish on them Okay, so now we have hands a yellow medium and deco art. So this is the golden And this is a pretty transparent color as our most yellows. It's a nice bright yellow. This is the deco art They're pretty close. I don't know that I'd be able to tell the difference just having them sit on the card and tell you Which one is which? Those are pretty close. I don't know that I'd be able to tell the difference there You seem to have the same texture they go on the same they Are both nicely fluid Well pigmented. Okay, let's see. We have one more. So this is Titan buff Try to get just the Titan buff and not traces of any of the other colors in there So let's see how I'm all I went to the brush up. I don't know So this is nice just sort of creamy beigey sandy color It's a nice neutral color Not super opaque. It's gonna be the deco art There's a slight difference there. The deco arts a little bit more on the red side, but not too much. They're pretty close Again, I don't know that I'd really be able to tell which tell you which one without seeing the bottle is which I'm gonna line these all up and I'm gonna zoom back out again So there we have it. There are our deco art fluid acrylic paint comparisons My overall opinion is that although some of the colors are different That's to be expected between brands of paint and that has nothing to do with the fact that they're fluid acrylics Even if you've got heavy bodies of the same colors and different brands, you'd still get a difference in color I like the texture of the paint. I like the finish of the paint It's really easy to apply. It seems to be fairly well pigmented I think it's a good value for the money. I would definitely recommend it Especially if you can't afford golden Or you want to supplement your golden now, they don't have as many colors So you probably want to get the colors deco art does have and then supplement them with other colors from maybe golden or somebody else But I would definitely recommend them for more information and where you can buy Please go to deco art comm and thank you to deco art for donating the paints to me to do this with Look forward in the future to some canvases journal pages and other art projects done with their paints I'm excited to give some things to try and I will see you all later Don't forget to go out and have a great day and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it I'll see you later
