Can you blend acrylic paint markers like regular paint?

I just bought acrylic paint markers, and I haven't used them before. is there a way you can blend marker colors on paper like regular acrylic paint?Can you blend acrylic paint markers like regular paint?
It depends upon the type of paper you are using. If it is high quality and contains cotton or wool threading then you can blend by coloring over one color with another but you will need to use specific markers for each color blending if you intend to recreate the same color over again as the markers will become contaminated with whichever color you blended with.

Can you use acrylic paints for water color?

Or is there a certain type of paints you have to buy? I haven't done this in a long time. Trying to remember thanksCan you use acrylic paints for water color?
You can use acrylics in the manner of watercolor, with similar effects, by thinning them down a LOT with water.





The difference is that the acrylics are always going to dry into a plastic film, even when watered down considerably. So you won't be able to do a lot of the lifting/blending/rewetting or edge-softening techniques you'd be able to do in watercolor.





On the plus side, though, acrylic watercolors are pretty much waterproof.Can you use acrylic paints for water color?
yeah you can get fluid acrylics from dickblick.com or artsupplywarehouse.com under the name of da vinci fluid acrylics, or on asw lukas cryl liquid acrylics
no

How should I shrink this sweater? 50% Acrylic 25% Alpaca 25% Wool?

Hi everyone,





I found some other answers on how to shrink wool and cotton sweaters; most said to wash in warm water and agitate.





I'm wondering if that process would work for a sweater that's 50% Acrylic, 25% Alpaca, and 25% Wool. It's a good sweater but it's really baggy.





What should I do? Thanks in advance!How should I shrink this sweater? 50% Acrylic 25% Alpaca 25% Wool?
Just put it in hot water and wash. It will definitely shrinkHow should I shrink this sweater? 50% Acrylic 25% Alpaca 25% Wool?

  • How long does it take to get acrylic nails?

    About 45 mins for just the nails.


    then however long if you wanted them sprayed white tips with dimontes or whatever.


    so overal about hour and half.How long does it take to get acrylic nails?
    it depends on where you get them done. It takes me about 30 min or more. I hope this helps. You can also ask the place where you want to get them done at. They will probably have the best answer!How long does it take to get acrylic nails?
    it takes from 30 min till and hour to get them done depending if there fast and what u want
    usually over 45 minutes depending on what you want and how fast the person works. =)
    If they are done with a dremmel, about 45 minutes to an hour
    well for me it takes about 30 to 40
    I have had faux nails for almost 3 years now. You should consider paying more money for gel nails rather than acrylic ones. The gel is a softer substance that is more natural looking and lasts longer. Acrylic will dry your nails out and eventually leave you with paper thin real nails. Over time acrylic nails also turn a yellowish color, while gels don't. If you don't have nails on currently, having the technician put on a full set can take up to an hour. Having any other detailing done could be up to 30 minutes more, plus drying time (10 mins).
    well if they do a good job it should take about 40 min......but its worth it because in the end they look so nice!!:D
    usually 60-90 minutes

    Why wont my mom let me have acrylic nails?

    i want to get acrylic nails, but my mom wont let me. does anyone know of ways i could persuade her?Why wont my mom let me have acrylic nails?
    i am 12 and i got fake nails but THEN WHEN I GOT THEM TO TAKE OFF OMG THEY HURTED SO BAD. THEM MY REAL NNAILS KEPT ON BRAKING. SO NOW I JUST GO TO THE NAIL SHOP EVERY WEEK AND GET MY REAL NAILS DONE AND GET A FRENCH TIP AND MY TOES TOO. OYU SHOULD NOT GET FAKE NAILS. MAYBE SOME FROM CVS BUT DNT GET THEM DONE. THEY HURT SO MUCHWhy wont my mom let me have acrylic nails?
    They are terrible for your nails! That's probably why, and they are expensive to keep up. When you get them done they literally shave your nail down to almost nothing, that way they can put that crappy acrylic on it. Then you'll end up getting sick of them and it'll be however much you spent on them, down the drain, and sometimes they charge you a fee of going to take them off. Or you can use acetone to take it off yourself, but either way you still spend $4 or more to take them off.
    Well first of all do you know why she isnt letting you? You may need to know that first. Have some facts that are true that help with your nails or whatever. You could, well shes your mom its kinda hard to say. If there is a health thing then my mom would know and never would let me get it. Question: Wat are acrylic nails?
    DO NOT get acrylic nails. They're super-expensive (about $50 a month...which really adds up!) and they can trap bacteria and cause nail fungus. I had acrylic nails on one time and the acrylic ripped off when I hit it against something and took my while nail with it! It was incredibly painful! Also, no offense to anyone who has them, they look kinda trashy. Sorry but it's true!
    well personally , i don't think it's worth it


    they look really nice but only for about a week


    and when you get them off , your nails are thin and brittle .


    it'd be a better idea to get a manicure and get a cute nail polish color .
    she may think that fake nails are just not ok. My mom use to call them whore nails because of what the movies portray. sleazy girl with long fake nails. I don't know but thats what my mom thought.
    she probably thinks your too young and still wants you to be her ';little girl.'; why dont you try getting those press on nails first and move up to acrylic ones little by little.
    lmaoo


    i put on fake nails when i was like 11





    if yur mom doesn't want you to do them, then don't


    jeez


    its not the end of the world


    =
    |She doesn't want you looking like a mob wife. Also, they're expensive and difficult to take care of.
    Well how old are you? If you're under 16 I really don't think it looks good anyways. Maybe your mom thinks so too!

    This is a really great site for all gluing needs give it a shot http://www.thistothat.com/index.shtmlWhat Glue/Adhesive is used to stick acrylic (plactic) to metal?
    Use a two-part epoxy, availble at any home center or hardware store. Rough up the acrylic and metal with some sandpaper to give the epoxy something to bite into. Follow instruction on tube.
    I use CA {superglue} to add metal details to my plastic models.

    Painting over nicotine stains? Should i use a oil-based primer or will a acrylic (latex) undercoat suffice?

    I will be washing the walls and ceiling down with sugar soap (which should, in theory, remove the stains.





    The walls are a combination of wallpapered (which I will be stripping and painting over) and painted with acrylic paint.





    Am really looking for an inexpensive, but effective way to fix - I am selling up, so don't want to waste too much $$Painting over nicotine stains? Should i use a oil-based primer or will a acrylic (latex) undercoat suffice?
    Kilz is supposed to cover these kinds of stains. Walmart has this and a less expensive brand whose name I don't remember. I have used the Kilz as a ceiling paint which covered the smoke stains. It can be used for your primer.
