These are my
painting instructions "Terms & Techniques"
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ACRYLIC PAINTING
"TERMS & TECHNIQUES"
by: Kay Quist
GLAZE or TINT
-
In the instructions I use
the term “Glaze” quite frequently, which is a transparent layer of
color applied over a previously based or floated color.
-
Mix desired paint color
for glaze with Faux Glazing Medium, following manufacturers
instructions on bottle; apply a thin coat to the area you want to
glaze and while still wet soften with a dry, Dynasty Mop Brush, Series
#400 or a dry, Dynasty, Series #200, Dry Brush.
-
This will not change the
color but will accent it and deepen the inner glow of the colors. Best
results are achieved by applying multiple layers of thin color.
LINEWORK
-
Thin the paint with clean
water, mixed with “Easy Float”, to an ink like consistency; load a
liner or scroller brush by pulling it through the paint, twisting as
you go, to achieve a fine point on tip.
-
Line the desired area, holding
the brush perpendicular to the surface; the thickness of the lines
will be determined by the amount of pressure applied to the brush.
BANDING
-
Apply “SCOTCH MAGIC TAPE”
along the outer edge of area you want banded.
-
Press firmly in place to
eliminate any possibility of they paint bleeding under.
-
Apply two or three thin
coats of paint, drying between each; let dry before removing tape.
NOTE: Be sure that
all basecoats are thoroughly dry before applying tape over them or it
will peel the basecoat paint when removed.
STARFLAKES
This is the term used for the
highlight stars in the skies and I also use them for highlights over
stars and on other highlighted areas, as indicated in the various
instruction pages.
-
Using a Black Gold by Dynasty,
#206MSC, Mini Script Liner, 20/0 and color indicated, make a large
plus sign and then make a cross over the top of it;
-
Place a dot in the center and
tiny descending dots at the end of each line.
-
Then make half circle lines out
around the center dot.
SPATTERING
-
Using a toothbrush, dip into
water, blot lightly on paper towel and then dip into full strength
paint, working into bristles;
-
Blot excess off on paper towel;
-
Hold the brush over the project,
run you thumb across bristles until you have as much spatter as
desired.
-
Spatter size is determined by
amount of water in the brush.
NOTE: Test on your palette
before applying to project.
DOTS
Use full strength paint and your
stylus or brush handle. For descending dots, dip into paint only once.
For uniform dots, dip into paint after each dot is made.
SET DOWN STROKES
I use these for tiny leaves, tiny
flower petals, even some eyelashes. They can be made with any size liner
or round brush.
-
Load the bristles about ¾ of the
way to the ferrule;
-
Set the very tip if the brush
down, laying the brush on it’s side and lift off.
-
Keep re-loading the brush as
needed. These can also be made with a double loaded brush.
-
Load in one color and then tip
bristles in second color
These project

techniques
for creating unique craft and painting projects using Dynasty®
