(see video)<br />You don't want the paint to create a down dip in the surface of the cup - this indicates your paint is too thin and you will likely create lots of mud and weak lines.<br />On the opposite end of the scale - You may also see a fat mound on the top of the paint cup that takes a while to disappear, this indicates the paint is too thick and it will not be as stretchy.<br /><br />RECIPE: <br />The "Recipe" is in the video, and i recommend the visuals... but as a basic guide:<br />Start with 50/50 paint to Extender - For the purposes of this video, an Extender is anything you use to extend your acrylic paint -
