I have no problems with hard edges... but making soft and lost edges with these materials is difficult... for the past 2 years it's like every week I'm struggling... You make a passing comment about it here... a video / blog on creating hard, soft and lost edges with these materials would be appreciated and probably purchased!

I was using Richeson "Tri-Arts" for the priming color. It's a liquid acrylic with good flow properties that made the gradation easier. But a tube acrylic would work fine too. This is where you'd want to experiment on scraps in the studio first until you know what they're going to do.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-83988119920855334572017-11-25T10:44:30.266-05:002017-11-25T10:44:30.266-05:00As Acryla Gouache is an basically an acrylic was t...As Acryla Gouache is an basically an acrylic was there an advantage using regular acrylics for the sky versus the Acryla gouache?Glenn Taithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694558143243106035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-18319908615067919112017-11-25T10:02:43.300-05:002017-11-25T10:02:43.300-05:00I painted the sky in the studio first the day befo...I painted the sky in the studio first the day before.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-64562307318046664792017-11-25T09:51:07.295-05:002017-11-25T09:51:07.295-05:00how long did you leave the sketchbook open to allo...how long did you leave the sketchbook open to allow for thorough drying?Susan Krzywickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11734833252007456199noreply@blogger.com
