Thank you.
Sorry for bumping a rather old thread, but I wanted to ask if you prefer liquitex over golden fluid? I’m trying to decide which of the two to use. I hope you don’t mind me asking. Thank you
I love my Liquitex. I’ve never used the Golden but a lot of people like those, too. I believe you can get either at Michael’s. dickblick.com and jerrysartarama.com and Amazon.com all have both if you want to buy online.
The Liquitex are they hard body or soft body? Maybe I am getting this confused with another air dry paint. On my recent Leilani Yawning I used some of the Luminaire air dry paints I had purchased. I added an adhesive additive when I mixed the paint. I just hate not using something I spent money on. I don’t sell my babies so I thought I would give it a try.
I use both. The hard, or heavy body, are just thicker so you have to thin them a little more. I can’t always find the color I need in one or the other. That’s the only reason I use both.
Thank you. I love how your babies turn out. Your babies one of my favorites.
Aaww, thank you.
I forget, what does “hard body” and “soft body” mean with these paints?
I think by “hard” body Jean means heavy body as opposed to soft body. Heavy is a thicker paint like the kind that you could make swirls and texture in when painting on canvas. Soft body is thinner- not as fluid as Golden Fluid acrylics, but thinner than the heavy body.
I used to use Liquitex when I used air dry paints. I did like it and still do for air brushing.
Thank you, Jenny. That makes sense.
When Jean gets back she can probably explain better.
Nope. You got it.
