Sounds like a good plan for color mixing.I think i’m going to buy some cheap acrylic paint just to learn the basics pf colour mixing over the weekend then buy some createx to spray when i’m paid.
Probably be a bit cheaper that way and i’m not too fussed because i’ll buy the student grade of acrylics which are about £2 a colour.
I think it will help me get my head around the colour wheel and how to mix.
Just a quick question rather than start another thread, is there a brand of acrylic paint people would advise go buy that you can just thin yourself and spray so
i can learn about thinning paint too for the airbrush?
I mean the type of paint you buy in tubes as that is what I pretty much have available around me.
I think windsor and newton is probably the main brand I can buy off the shelf. Would this be a good brand to experiment with with for mixing and thinning?
Golden has an airbrush medium you can use to thin their paints, of course that would probably be just as expensive or more.
I've had success when just messing around using craft paints. Not the bottom of the line 50 cent ones (the pigment is too rough) but the same kind of brands $1.50 ones. Ive had a lot of success thinning artist acrylic with just water and liquitex varnish and it works great until you get into tiny details. If you thin it enough to work right then on small details it just spiders all over the place.
It really does no good for learning how to thin the paint you will actually be using though.
