Can you use the fluid with gouache paint
Hi Denise,
You can try it if you like, but you may run into unexpected results. The glazing fluid has an acrylic binder, while gouache has a gum binder. It may be better to thin the gouache with water.
HI Matt,
Can this technique be applied to Still life objects too? I had the impression that this is better for Landscape only to create the illusion of the atmosphere, but I’m not sure. Thanks.
Hi Carolina,
Yes, this technique can be used for any subject.
I also would like to know, I have been using the Acrylic Glazing Liquid ( Satin) Golden for direct painting (Layering and Wet-on-wet technique). Is it a good one for this technique or not? Thank you again!!! Amazing class!
Hi Carolina,
Yes, all of Golden’s products are very good. If they are producing the results that you are after, then there’s no reason to change brands.
Wow Matt I have never seen that technique before it looks great. Can the same thing be achieved with oil paint.
