What do you use in order to dilute an acrylic paint to do a wash?
Water with just a hint of a dishwashing liquid. I sometimes add some "future" too.
Hope that helps, have a nice day

I'm not sure what "future" means.
Hello!
Future is a water-soluble acrylic floor coating. You can read more about it here
Have a nice day
What you use to reduce, or thin, an acrylic paint to make a wash should be the same solvent you use for airbrushing. Usually, this is water or isopropyl alcohol for most of the major brands. A drop of dispersant, such as detergent, liquid soap, or a retarder or flow-aid is generally a good idea.
Ross Martinek A little strangeness, now and then, is a good thing…
Some of the answer depends on which acrylic paint you are using. When I use vallejo or other water-based acrylics for washing, which I do way more often than an oil wash, I use water and mixing medium. It's a product from Privateer Press' P3 line.

Although I have had excellent results using equal parts water and Golden's Acrylic Flow release as well.
My painting experience is much more figurines and gaming than historical models. I played alot of warhammer 40k, etc, so acrylic washes on multiple models was a big part of my tool kit.
Hope this helps some!
