I thought i might also post a sludge wash question here...
i've tried to make one using dishwashin liquid, gunze sangyo acrylic and water - what consistency am i looking for?
whenever i try it, the dishwashing detergent makes the paint particles stick together. if i add a little, the particles seem to separate from the water, so it's a very weird looking wash, where there are some large particles suspended in clear liquid (the water), and the more detergent i add, the more it turns into a solid lump, almost like blu tak. i can paint this one, but it's so think you need a lot of paint to make a the wash.
am i doing this right, or is gunze not the right paint to be using for a sludge wash?
any tips appreciated.
