I’m hoping to make this live session but would love to ask 2 questions
How to stop shine in acrylics if you want to …
I am using a Matt medium but still shiny Titanium white has no shine so that’s odd …
Thought about glazing after watching your video on that or maybe varnishing.
Also you mention scumberling (if spelt correctly ) what is that
Some colours have a shine to them. You could varnish the painting with a matt varnish and this will reduce the shine of the painting.
Scumberling is a technique where you use a dry brush a small amounts of paint and using a hog brush move the brush on the canvas so that the colour is broken and you see the colour underneath.
Thankyou Michelle.. I tried to join but had some difficulty.. technical just couldn’t get onto zoom ..
No worries Karen. Hope to see you next time.
