Create an oil-like finish on acrylic painting – easy technique
I used a medium and flat brush to create a unique oil-like lustrous finish on this acrylic painting.
PAINT THIS ABSTRACT LANDSCAPE – STEPS FOR THIS FINISH:
- Start on a dried surface.
2. Apply medium and use a small/medium flat brush.
3. Work in short strokes.
4. Be sure to cover the entire painting – don’t miss any spots!
5. Let dry thoroughly.
6. Varnish, if desired.
