We are frequently asked about common-place items in this forum – things we almost all use but need to know more about!
Here you will find links to threads on Canvases and other Supports, Varnishes, Paints, Brushes, Palettes, Mediums and Easels, Techniques, and we will add more links as they are appropriate.
Using the ’Search this forum’ facility can find you many useful threads to read – before asking the same question again!:)
Use the Advanced Search and keywords – it’s better to use single words, multiples confuse search! e.g ‘paint’ or ‘paints’, (but not ‘paint paints’) ‘palette’ or ‘palettes’, ‘varnish’ or ‘varnishes’. Then select the time frame of older than a year as most 2014 threads are listed here.In the Information Kiosk there is a ‘collective’ thread about Tips for the Acrylic painter – it’s very useful!:) If you have a tip which doesn’t appear here, please let me know.:)
