Setup: Before painting, organize your workspace with your paints, brushes, a water container for cleaning, and a palette for mixing. Shake the paint tube gently if it hasn't been used in a while to ensure proper consistency. Compatibility: Art Studio Acrylic Paint is compatible with most acrylic mediums, such as flow improvers, glazing liquid, and texture gels, which can alter its drying time, transparency, or finish. It can also be mixed with other water-based acrylic paints. Avoid mixing with oil-based paints or turpentine. Care: Store your acrylic paints at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat or cold, to maintain their consistency and shelf life. Ensure caps are tightly sealed after each use to prevent drying. Clean brushes immediately after use with soap and water to prevent paint from hardening in the bristles. Dried acrylic paint can be very difficult to remove from brushes.
