Hi everyone and was hoping someone could help me solve the following.
I'm just getting back into the hobby and trust me, I will get an airbrush but for the time being, I have to brush paint. I share my worktop with 2 small kids and to help with ease of cleanup (and to avoid the harsh smell of enamels & thinners), I've opted for Revell's new range of Acrylics called Aqua Colour.
Many of the reviews I've read online say that they brush really well straight from the tin without thinning but that hasn't been my experience - I've found them really streaky and difficult to lay down any kind of smooth finish.
My question; is it the type of paint brushes I'm using, my technique or the paint? Or all three?!! Is there a type of brush best suited to acrylics in general?
Any advice from you good people out there would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dermo

Well, since we have none of that information, it's impossible to answer your question. Other questions, to what are you applying the paint? Has it been cleaned? Have you primed? How well did you shake and mix the paint? According to the website, you should do both. It also says to wait an hour for a second coat. I'm going to guess not a lot of folks here have experience with this product.
As far as a brush for acrylics, I learned the best are rather pricy Kolinsky sable. Any number of companies make thes and they use the fur or a partuicuar weasel which holds a lot of paint and keeps its point.
Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
