FAQs
Is this paint suitable for beginners?
Yes, the non-toxic and blendable nature of Dina Wakley Media Acrylic Paint makes it suitable for artists of all levels.
Can I mix this black paint with other brands of acrylics?
While it is designed to blend seamlessly with other Dina Wakley Media colors, it can generally be mixed with other artist-quality acrylic paints. Test on a small area first.
What is the best way to achieve a glossy finish?
Once the paint is completely dry, apply a clear gloss medium or varnish over the painted area.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Drying time varies depending on application thickness, humidity, and surface. Typically, it dries to the touch within minutes but may take longer to cure fully.
Is the paint waterproof when dry?
Yes, once fully dry and cured, Dina Wakley Media Acrylic Paint forms a water-resistant layer.
What is the difference between the 1 fl. oz. bottle and the 2 fl. oz. tube?
The primary difference is the packaging and volume. The bottle is a standard applicator, while the tube offers more control for dispensing smaller amounts and can be easier to store.
Can I use this paint on fabric?
While it can adhere to fabric, it is not specifically formulated as a fabric paint and may not hold up as well to washing. For fabric, consider a dedicated textile medium or fabric paint.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick to spread smoothly.
Add a small amount of Dina Wakley Gel Medium or water to achieve the desired consistency. Work quickly as the paint can dry fast.
Paint is drying too quickly for blending.
Use a retarder medium or work in smaller sections. Keep your tools and surface slightly damp (but not wet) if working on absorbent surfaces.
Color appears dull after drying.
This is normal for some acrylics. Apply a varnish or gloss medium once the paint is fully dry to restore vibrancy.
Paint is difficult to clean from brushes.
Clean brushes immediately after use with soap and water. For dried paint, use a dedicated brush cleaner and conditioner.
