So you end up with a ton of grayish color? What do you do with it? Just curious I do think it’s a cool idea since it keeps air out by design. Maybe I would use a few small ones for individual colors
Thanks, I use it to tone canvases and anytime I need a grayish color in a painting. The gray background in this painting was painted with leftover paint ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hmsuQnkdj-4.htmlsi=KX2AAvZcxR5Ejj-Z
I think it would work great for acrylic pouring because the paint is even more fluid. They make them in different sizes....the largest size is like 350ml which quite large.
Cool idea. It would be nterestjng to see how it would look if you didn't mix it all together to gray before putting it into the syringe. Maybe the layers of colors would mean the syringe was your crazy wild card color for a creatve prompt. iI's a new color each rime you squirt something out.
I don't use the sponge because these are open acrylics. They will stay wet in the palette for weeks but thin layers will eventually start to dry up. That started to happen with the colors on the right side of my palette in this video. Plus the palette eventually turns into a big mess of color mixtures and the piles of paint get contaminated....so I find that it helps to clean it off before starting a new painting.
@@ChrisBreier did you try premixing paints with a drop of propylene glycol? It retards much longer. I use heavybody acrylics and i premix few drops of propylene glycol and keep palette airtight. So they stay wet longer. Just open the palette and paint. I had noticed acrylics mixed with propylene glycol usually is wet about 30 minutes .
Yes, the retarder from Golden is mostly propylene glycol. The issue is-what do you do with the leftover wet paint when you clean off the palette? I like to mix into a gray and use it to tone canvases or for mixing grays. I've tried different storage containers but so far the syringe works best for me.
