Acrylic Painting Tips: How to Extend the Working Time of Acrylic Paints
Helpful acrylic painting tips submitted by fellow artists.
"I have painted with acrylics in very hot, dry climates, the best example
being the Guanacaste province on the northwest coast of
Costa Rica,
where I lived for six years, during the dry season. Humidity near zero
percent and the temperature about 33C by 09h00 every morning. The trick
is to have a pump spray bottle of water close by on your mixing table
and keep the area of the painting that you're working on sprayed down so
that it's always damp. Otherwise, you might as well forget about it.
Your acrylic paint will turn into something resembling chewing gum
within five to 10 minutes."
