Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick for desired application
Dilute the paint with a small amount of water or an acrylic medium. Start with a little and add more as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
Paint appears less vibrant after drying
Ensure you are applying an even coat. For deeper intensity, apply a second coat once the first is dry. Consider using a clear acrylic medium for a glossier, more saturated finish.
Paint is drying too quickly on the palette
Use a palette with a slow-releasing surface, such as a stay-wet palette, or mist your palette with water periodically. Work in smaller batches.
