I like the one without medium better. It has a softer texture to the lines. I suppose it all boils down to what you want out of the piece though. The one with medium has very lovely "crackling" (I think that's the term) which would look really nice in a variety of projects.

@VizoliArt I'm still confused, every channel I have watched describes floetrol as a medium, as it still stretches the paint further without losing its colour. I find floetrol hard and very expensive to buy in UK and as just starting out, other than floetrol which options do we have??

@@Faeryflosspva glue works great. Elmers glue all is one I use. Usually mix 70% glue 30% water. Mix with paint 1 part paint 2 parts glue medium and additional water for consistency depending on how thick your paint is. Hope that helps 😊
I don't see much difference between them. But if i have to be meticolous, without medium the cells are smalliest but with medium i see on the canvas some colour cracks. To be honest i don't know if these particularities depends by the medium presence or not...but if i had to choose, i would choose the "without medium" one.

First of all, I love your work. I'm new to acrylic painting, so excuse me if I ask a stupid question. I really like both of them, but I think I would choose the one with the medium. Does the medium cause the cracking or is that from drying to quick? One other thing, I love the music you have in the back ground. Is there anyway to get a name or title of the music? Thank you for your beautiful videos.

I'm a bit late to the party, but I have a question. You said the cracking is due to fast drying? Does that mean that you quickened the drying process somehow, or was that the end result of just leaving it and it drying on its own? Sorry if it's a stupid question 😅

@alyiidella I find cracking happens when there is too much paint left on the canvas or tiles. The paint dries on the surface quite quickly but if there is too much paint underneath it doesn't dry at same speed so cause the cracks
Many says liquid soap will do instead of silicon oil. Will it work? I love your style and I learn a lot..👍
