How Do You Turn An Acrylic Paint Into A Fabric Paint?
If you want to design a t-shirt or tote bag, or have a need to paint on fabric; then acrylic paints can be a good way to fully artistically express the design. But the thickness of the paint can look strange once dried on the fabric and doesn’t always feel good when worn. Using a medium specifically designed to not only thin out the paint, but also allow the paint to be heat seat thus preserving your design, is a fantastic way to use your favorite paints on the fabric of your choice. Decide exactly what your painting needs are. There are four basic ways of applying paint to fabric: hand brushing, air brushing, staining (tie-dye) and Silk-screening. Each type of application requires a different medium in order to effectively use the acrylic paint. Decide on the type of acrylic paint that is going to be needed for your medium. *Hand Brushing: Heavy Body (including Iridescent and Interference Colors), Matte, Fluorescent, and Fluid Acrylics *Air Brushing: Fluid Acrylics *Staining: Airbrush
