Virtual demonstration

You will need dry pigments, acrylic mediums (your binders), flexible steel spatulas as well as a glass surface to prepare the paint.

A piece of glass that is mounted on a table, like the one we use in this demonstration, is the ideal surface for preparing paint of any kind. It doesn’t cost very much, and it makes the whole process of preparing paint a lot easier.

You may use any artist's acrylic medium to make your paint. These mediums are actually a type of acrylic polymer emulsion, and they can be sold as such, too. The physical characteristics of the acrylic paint you will prepare (gloss or matte, liquid or gel, etc.) will depend on the type of acrylic medium you use.
