Wow and it's soo blue even though the medium is straight up white! That is crazy. All of these oil mediums are like, see through gels.

@KrystleColeArt 4 месяца назад

The first time I used it, I figured it would definitely make it whiter, more of a pastel color. But it doesn't, it's awesome :)

All that I have is craft paint unfortunately. I know that dollar tree sells paint that looks similar to what you suggest but I’m not sure if it’s the same type. Would you happen to know? Thanks!

@KrystleColeArt 2 месяца назад

I’m not sure what dollar tree sells, but I would think it probably isn’t professional paint. But I’m not sure honestly. You could always try mixing it with medium and see how it turns out!

I always buy acrylic paint at Walmart I get the plaid Apple barrel matte colors, the cost is 50.ea, they have a great collection of colors along with high gloss paints, neon, chalk and metallics but, the Dollar tree brand I bought was called Rich Art premium acrylic paint. After opening the bottle, you can just tell by the viscosity & the quality of the paint that it was very cheap

Hi!!! All I have is craft paints (apple barrel and craft smart). I was wondering if I can use a medium on them. What would happen if I did?

@KrystleColeArt 5 дней назад

You can try, if they aren’t thick enough pigment it will just look translucent. No way to know until you try it to find out!

@salvagedsword 2 месяца назад

Are there any issues with mixing in extra gel if you want a more translucent effect? Or is it safer to stick with the 50/50 mix? Thanks for the video!

@KrystleColeArt 2 месяца назад

You can definitely mix extra gel if you want it to be more translucent. In fact, I often use the gel straight out of the container to put on my canvases prior to painting to add texture. So any amount of gel can be mixed with the paint and it will work great. it’s just that the more gel you add the more translucent it will become. I usually stick to the 50-50 mixture so that it will stay opaque.

@hyejink_08 Месяц назад

Hello! Love your videos 😄I have a few questions. After mixing the heavy gel gloss with the acrylic paint, will the original color change? Also, how does the finished/dries paint look like?

@KrystleColeArt Месяц назад

The original color does not change unless you thin it out too much. If you do a 50-50, mixture it should be fine. The only thing that will happen if you add too much medium is that it will become translucent. if you're worried about that do 25% medium, 75% paint and you'll definitely be good. The dried paint will have a glossy finish if you use heavy gloss gel medium.

Yo I remember you from back in the day. I cant find your old lsd experience video on your patreon? Did you delete it?

@KrystleColeArt 4 месяца назад

Thanks so much for supporting on Patreon! I really appreciate it :-) I had to make a couple videos private because people took the links and shared them on other websites unfortunately. It may have been one of them. But I made several videos on the subject, I'm sure I did not private all of them.
