Some words about using acrylic paints: squeeze some paint on the palette (you can use a peace of some plastic), than add a bit of water. You can dilute acrylic paints with water, but a bit, it will help to draw in convenient way, and prevents them from fast drying. As soon as your acrylic paints have dried, it is impossible to thin them again. Clean your brash in the cup of water every time after using the new color.
