What paints do you use.

[Borum]

Hello Everyone,

Have been enjoying all the wonderful post and just amazed at the works. I actually have two questions:

The first is do you prep the walls at all and what type of paint are you using?

Thank you for your help.

Do I prep? You bet! Here in Germany we usually have brick and plaster walls plus ugly painted wallpaper on them. The wallpaper has to come down, the glue washed off and more often than not, the walls are in for a plastering job. (I don't do this myself.) Then a light sealing, so that the plaster won't suck up all the paint, two coats of flat white basecoat and don't forget about sanding.
After that I use artist's acrylics in tubes. For fine, light details I use the liquid airbrush paint because of their better coverage.
