Wrong Formula

If too tired I read or watch about painting, paint, at times paper, canvas and brushes.
If it comes to all the articles, responds there seems to be not one clear answer except the personal experience and who knows the skills of the luck of the artist.
Does cheap matter if you have not much to spend? I don't think so till it gets annoying and if it comes to paint it does concerning certain colours.. At least after reading many reviews I found a few sharing the same experiences with me, meaning it's better to find a substitute for a few colours (but not today since I have plenty of paint and even if the colour is not too great or all colours seem to be transparant, I can use it and thus far it didn't faint.

At least I have some answers:

  • mixing = earlier muddy (depends on with what it is compared - no idea/not mentioned)
  • all transparent (lack of pigment - great for glossing)
  • good for studies to start with - top layer better quality paint
  • good for pouring
  • indeed takes more time to dry (and less glossy)
  • varnish keeps it great
  • primer from can (gesso needs several layers as well)
  • colours can be mixed acrylic paint (cans)
  • a real artist can create something out of nothing.

Is the quality of Action paint bad?
If you ask me it's not (they sell different types of acrylic (3: no brand name, Van Bleiswijck and Avec) and posterpaint (very thin!) and since people massively buy it the wrong formula doesn't exist. They jumped into a huge hole and made it possible to many to explore with paint and the joy it brings.

To be honest, I don't know what to say. In fact, I'm quite bored on this panel. I'm very persistent and I'm not going to stop working here, but I'm not making any progress.
