(a bit translucent like water color painting and not opaque like oil painting.) I tend to work with acrylics, so I would start with the more transparent colors (that rating is on the tube) and thin only with gloss or gel medium as matte tends to opacify the colors. Keep the consistency fairly thick, no water, and use a dry brush to apply the color in sheer fashion letting it dry before you decide to add more if needed. The waiting time is worth it. This method give me the most translucent effect possible. Helen "Halla" Fleischer, Fantasy & Fiber Artist in Fairland, MD USA http://home.covad.net/~drgandalf/halla/ |

if you want paper to show through paint, then use thin washes of acrylic or
water colors. Sarajane Sarajane's Polymer Clay Gallery http://www.polyclay.com view my auctions at: http://www.polyclay.com/Collage/auction.htm |
