Blending Acrylic Paints

Blending Acrylic Paints Workshop

with Jenn Constantine

 

 

Acrylic paints are some of the easiest-to-find art materials out there - and they're also quite affordable, making them perfect for beginner artists. However, they can be a bit tricky to apply by hand without visible brushstrokes. In this video, artist Jenn Constantine shares her tips and tricks for painting with acrylics and blending them into a beautifully-shaded coat for your next custom Breyer model.
