ACRYLIC

  Acrylic has so many marvelous ways of application: used thinly in air-brushing, thicker in painting, or as a clear gel and glaze for binder or protection. The colors are available in a full spectrum. Although they can dry pretty quickly it is amazing how you can keep them quite useable in the following manner.

1. Use empty white styrofoam  egg cartons to hold your various colors.  Cut them into sections of six.

2. Put in a desired amount of paint for your current use

3. When done painting, place a piece of paper toweling over the egg cups and spray generously with water

4. Slid entire paper-covered cups into a quart-sized plastic freeer bag with a good seal and leave for next painting time.
