Thank you so much for the tips and lessons. I recently took up painting in acrylics but can't afford classes. You are very appreciated!

Just a minor word to the wise, technically tempera is made with egg yolk, egg white is used to make glair. A drop of dammar varnish helps preserve tempera mixes on the pallet and the painting. I did a lot of mixed media work with acrylics ~40 years ago I mixed in all sorts of things, and I still have some of the samples. I was a printing ink chemist / painter back then. I can tell you that using a lot of polyol eg glycerine can increase drying time to be unacceptably long and it can migrate via the substrate. PVA glue varies in quality, some I tested tended to go orange around the 2 decade mark. I found that with care you can introduce drying oils into acrylic paint and make it more compatible with oil paint; despite the old artist's rule of 'fat over lean' my oil/acrylic mixes are still looking new and flexible after 40 years! My best tip: A small amount of benzyl alcohol helps really thin acrylic paint flow from the brush to the canvas but don't over do it.

I think you are absolutely right, adding these things will most likely yellow, crack or peel over time.

I'm charmed by your modest tone and low-profile introduction to out-of-the-box thinking in artistic painting.

Wanted to give it 5 thumbs up. One for each hint!

Wow wow wow!! I am new to your channel and I absolutely love and appreciate your "tips"! The gesso tip was an eye opener!! I did my first big abstract painting yesterday, and struggled with blending and blending too fast. I painted with white acrylic first, I should have done with gesso. "Good to know". I have been a closet painter/ draw /sketcher because I never took lessons but never thought I was "good enough". So now I don't care, I want to be better for me. Thank you for sharing! I love your channel thank you your one of my faves! ❣❣❣

Hi Clive, a very interesting video, thank you. The vegetable glycerine might come in useful for glazes as a traditional egg tempera painter. Egg tempera is made from the pure yolk of an egg that has been diluted with either water or white wine. If using white wine it also serves to preserve the tempera binder. Egg white is not used in the tempera binder at all but can be used as a glaze over the top of a tempera painting or as a base when painting Cyrillic lettering over gold leaf gilding. It helps to stop the tempera on the gold from coalescing into beads which can be very frustrating. Cheers!

I gave up on acrylic and went back to oils a while ago. The main reason being the rapid drying, which doesn't give much time for blending. But this might be worth trying. Thanks.

Hello sir I want to learn acrylic painting from beginning, with your guide line it's very helpful to me.Thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Good ideas colour shine

I use Acrylic for cartooning, Abstract artwork and some illustrative Realism, so I had to figure out how to make the colors more Opaque. I found that adding Acrylic White to the individual Acrylic colors makes the colors more Opaque. It is a bit tricky because too much white starts to change the original color. Also adding Water Color Gouaches to Acrylic helps to make the colors more opaque and less transparent. This video is very informative and I will be experimenting with some of the ingredients to see what I can do with them.

@CLIVE5ART

Try also using a mixing white it will make the paint more opaque but it's less lightly to change the colour

THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT TIPS !!

Wow! So cool! I have wanted to start painting for several years .....well almost my whole life, so I'll just say over 4 decades! I did do a tiny painting months ago because I've heard it can possibly help with my depression, it's been really bad for quite some time. I was pretty frustrated because my paint would dry up sooooo fast and that's not great when your a beginner trying to take my time, AND trying to get me 12 year old son to paint with me in Hope's he would like it and want to get into painting. I do feel painting helps quite a bit with depression, however my issue is just getting everything out and set up ....and clean up, lol. It's like a wall I just can't climb for some reason. I would love to get over that! These tips have given me a great feeling as I see the glycerin and KY will definitely help with the frustration thus making painting more enjoyable. I am ambidextrous so I have sooooo many crafts I like to do, even getting a lil business off the ground. I feel doing that would change my life for the better! Having debilitating depression really sucks and has put a huge "damper" on my life and I'm desperate to change that. You have given me hope with painting and I am finally looking forward to getting all my painting supplies out once again .....hopefully more then once, lol! Thank you! Wish I could share a picture of a painting or 2 afterwards!
