What’s the best way to make a gradient paint?
Using a clean foam brush, blend a portion of the medium color into the white space and just a little bit of the lightest color, using a circular motion. Next, blend more of the medium color into the first color blend. This starts creating a gradient of color.
What does a gradient look like in acrylic paint?
Painting a gradient is a form of blending, taking a specific color from its darkest shade to its lightest and is one of the effects you can create with acrylic paint.
What kind of brushes do you use for gradient paint?
I usually end up using one foam brush for each color of paint (light, medium, dark) and one for each color transition zone (light/medium, medium/dark). So make sure you have enough brushes before you start. As the paints get darker in color/tone, use less. Dark color paints will quickly overpower your gradient.
What’s the best way to test a gradient?
Begin testing a basic gradient with a graphite pencil. Start by pressing down firmly with the pencil, starting with a dark shade and then progressively shading lighter until it’s completely white with the absence of any colour.
