Hi Diane, I am using acrylic fluid paints. I use three colors; Quinqcridone Burnt Orange, Phthalo Green (yellow shade), and Quinacridone Magenta. I hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching! Nancy
Thank you for such a clear explanation of how interference colours work!! I recently ordered some and I am still learning so now I will know how to work with them so much better!! 😊
Coolest product ever! The applications and combinations are endless! Making a single, textured flower from cerulean blue/molding paste on bottom w/ Interference Blue (Fine) on top layer. Just speechless! Amazingly Gorgeous! It's for my Mom for a Mother's Day Gift. She has been redecorating her bedroom using a modern vibe of Blue and Silver. Could not have pulled off such a unique piece without Interference...Love this stuff!!!
Dear Fabie, Almost all acrylic mediums and gels are white when you apply them while wet, then become clear when they dry. The product I am using in this demonstration is Golden's Soft Gel Gloss. The gels are great for texture, and that is why I used it in this demonstration. For similar results you can use any gloss gel. Golden also makes Regular Gel, Heavy Gel and Extra Heavy Gel. These will all work well. Please remember that you want to use only gloss gels, and not matte or satin gels. The matte and satin gels contain a white powder that will inhibit the interference effects, while gloss gels will enhance the interference effects. Hope this answers your question. Best, Nancy
Thank you for this informative session. About the varnish you didn’t recommend mat varnish. I usually use satin or gloss or sometimes a combination. Which one do you recommend so it won’t add nor lessen the sheen or glossiness of the interference paint?
Hi Mayssa! You ask a good question! The Interference paints need light to hit the paint to create the special color flip. If you add too much regular color paint, or any type of matt medium, this will block light. Any time of matte or satin varnishes or mediums applied OVER the Interference will cut their ability to do the color flip. You have two choices - use gloss finish coats and gloss mediums, OR varnish your painting PRIOR to applying the Interference. By doing this you can use matte or satin as a finish on your painting, and then add the Interference over that. This last option has an issue. Varnishes are removable for cleaning purposes. This means if you overpaint the varnish using the Interference, if your varnish is ever removed, the Interference will be removed too. The best thing is to just use gloss and NO matte or satin products at all applied OVER the Interference. Hope this helps!
Thank you for you fast reply. I will use gloss varnish on the stenciled interference design and satin for the background to keep it from competing with the design.
How do I varnish if I added a touch of interference paint to acrylic sky painting? I shouldn’t use liquitex matte medium and varnish? What varnish do I use?
As long as you use a gloss varnish the interference will still have it's interesting color shift. if you use any matte, stain or semi-gloss, these products have a white powder in them which will diminish the interference effect. There are many varnishes to choose from. In my opinion the best varnish to use are the ones made especially for fine art paintings. These products have two important qualities that other varnishes do not have. They have UV protection in the product so that colors don't fade, and they are removable for cleaning purposes. If the product label does not have directions for removing the product once it has dried, it is a permanent varnish, not a removable one. The fact that it is removable adds a professional and archival touch to the work.
Hi Nancy! I have all your books and just love everything you create. You're easy to follow, to teach, and it's quite rare for me, to learn from others. You know how to talk and teach. That's quite a gift! I have a question. I've collected beautiful costume jewelry through the years, I never wear it, I love to look at it. I was thinking, can I adapt the pieces on a acrylic painting? Once it's placed on the canvas, using mod podge, (can I do that???) and then apply a gloss gel to set it? I would paint the images to fit the piece. Using lovely colors...and I do understand my colors.
Hi Pat, Yes of course you can adhere objects such as jewelry onto a painting surface. I am curious as to why you wanted to use two different glues - mod podge and gloss gel? They are both glues. What I like to do is to just use the gloss gel if the object stays in place while drying. If it won't then I apply gloss gel between the object and surface and then add a small dab of hot glue at a place where the gel isn't. The hot glue holds it in place, and then after the gel dries I pry off the glob of hot glue. Sounds like a fun project you have going!
Have you heard about painter's block? Well, I have it. I fear just doing it. It has always been my dream to paint. I actually pray every night for God to guide me. I have so much I want to say through art. I've seen people make a mark on the canvas, a silly mark, just to start. Then it's yours. I've seen black gesso, and I like it..you can do so much with a dark background. I do not like landscapes. I focus on people..I see something, others don't. Emotions.
@@patk.9671 Hi Pat, I do believe ALL artists have painter's block at some point or another. I do have several solutions. The main one is understanding how our left brain will sabotage us in our creative process. It just does! Yet there are many ways to combat this. I wrote a section about this in my latest book Create Perfect Paintings. If you don't have it (I think you said you have all my books - thank you!) I will include a pdf version along with our online session, if you decide to schedule one with me. I just sent you a reply to your email. Please don't hesitate to contact me further if you have any questions.
@@patk.9671 That is a longer answer. If you want your artwork to last then using fine art quality materials are best. However, I do believe you have the right idea here! Using the clear nail polish will seal the jewelry and that will keep it looking good. Nail polish is generally solvent based, so once you apply it to the jewelry and it dries, it may not adhere using the water based glue. I suggest to glue it first onto the surface using the gel. Once the gel dries for at least a week, then you can apply a clear sealer over the entire painting, all at once, instead of just the jewelry.
This is excellent information. I just love the interference paints but never thought to add them to gloss gel. I ordered your book and look forward to reading it. Thanks so much!
So happy i have one your book now i follow you in you tube the book its call acrylic Revolution i love it great book thanks for all you teach im 44 and being doing home school 5 years now .
if you do use matte, maybe because it is in another paint or an accident or just because it is what you have, will it revert to effect with a gloss coating over it? I am trying it but am not good with being precise and scientific... thank you. love your videos!!
Hi Beverly, If you apply a matte acrylic product such as matte gel, matte varnish or matte medium, the product contains a fine white powder. That's what makes it matte. Once you apply it, and it dries, you will not be able to reverse the effects. You can apply a gloss coat over it, and now it will be gloss, but the white powder still remains in that underlying layer, and therefore will limit the light that will reach the interference paints, and will therefore limit its effects. If you have a matte layer because it is a type of pigment paint that dries matte, that is a different situation. In this case you can apply a gloss medium over a matte layer of paint and it will make the color richer while giving it a gloss coat. Another case is that if you sand a layer of paint it will appear matte because you have roughed up the surface. In this case, applying a gloss layer over this sanded matte layer will revert back to the original gloss. Hope this helps!
Wow! Love watching and learning from your videos! I was always skeptical about buying some of this stuff because I didn’t know what it was for or what it could do! Thanks for sharing! 💖
May I ask what type of paint boards do you use? I have quickly found out the less expensive ones curl up at the edges when the medium or paint is "thick" Any suggestions or brand recommendations?
Hi Angelia, For small sizes (anything smaller than 24" x 30") I use Ampersand Gessobords that are cradled (have deeper sides added). For the sizes larger than that, I want them lightweight so its easier to work with them. I have a woodworker make them for me, and he sells them to the public (and calls them the Nancy Reyner Custom Artist Panel) here is the link: www.artisansantafe.com/custom-cradled-wood-panels/
Not to be lazy (I will look it up) but where is the link to your book? Anyway, love love love, what a great teacher. One look at you and I would know it. Joy joy joy.
I'm not much into the shiny Ness, as with usual gold paint I already admire it on its own but find it sticks out too much in a painting, but that a color is warm golden/yellow over white but blue over black is intensely interesting, like someone took a photoshop filter and made it paint. I'd love to see it painted straight over a variety of colors. Or a print of a painting
You say that the acrylics strink by about 30% in volume--does that also occur if the delivery system were in a airbrush or sprayer type device? if it were thinned with a flow inprover and a thinner?
Hi Dillard, that's a good question! It is the polymer (the acrylic binder) that shrinks down in volume. That means the less binder the less shrinkage. If you are thinning it, there's less shrinkage. If you are spraying in an airbrush, the applied layer may only be 1/60th of an inch (wild guess here - but I know it wouldn't lay out to 1/16" from an airbrush). Which means any type of shrinkage (definitely not the 30%) would be hardly noticeable.
I have developed a series of techniques to use in tandem with the application of the gloss , mediums, and gels--in ways not covered in your book on a number of different surfaces. I had some very interesting results
Hi Edie, as I mention in the video these are fluid acrylics by Golden. They are not inks, they are pigment paints made with acrylic binders just like all acrylic paints, however, they did not go through a thickening process like the thicker heavy body paints do.
What an attractive woman. She even chooses some of my favorite transparent compliments Pyrrolidine, PG36 and PV19. I've never used Iridescent or interference mediums or paints of any kind but have recently become interested after using the wrong gel pen over some dark watercolor washes, happy accident. Need all the information I can get. Beautiful painting at the end. I wish I could see it. Thank you.
Thank you for this video, I was looking for interference acrylic paint all over because I love the cars painted in such colors but I didn't know where to look ... will get me some now in the art store :D
I meant to reply to your comment but I didn’t realize I had to click on your comment to do that so I just wanted to make sure you would see it☺️.. please read my last comment. I hope it is helpful!
Hi Fortune Art, Absolutely! That is what I usually use for surfaces, but in the video I used the wood boards that are uncradled (less weight to carry to the demo!). Nancy
If you are referring to the gel I use around 8:20 in the video, that is Golden's Regular Gel Gloss. It is not self leveling. It feels like a stiff mayonaise, and will show up texturally.
Hi Edie, Here I am using Golden's Regular Gel Gloss. However you can achieve similar effects by using other types of gloss gel, like the Heavy Gel Gloss or Soft Gel Gloss. It just depends on how stiff you want the texture to be. Soft Gel Gloss gives a more melty type of texture while Heavy Gel Gloss shows stiff peaks more.
very nice result - however, to make a series of paintings using this method, the average person will need to get a part-time job to be able to afford the jell.

Totally agree! I shop all brands of acrylic products. Golden products are AWESOME but so expensive I purchase them only when I cannot find a suitable substitute in a less expensive brand. For example, Art Deco has a line of wonderful fluid interference paints that are very affordable.
+plaqueman1950 A 2 oz. tube of Interference is about $8. 8 oz of molding paste is under $15 which is what I use but the gel in the vid is about the same. You can save a ton if you buy in bulk though. I wouldn't be playing around with this stuff though. It's def. not something you want to doodle with or throw in an art journal, lol, but the cost is the exact same as any other series 7 acrylic paints from Golden.
hmmmm .....well that's a lot of expensive paint on that board for a Not very impressive result. mayb it looks better off camera ?? Personally i can't say i like the end result much at all...its "ok" ..no Wow factor...there is no feeling of "i gotta own one"...if anyone has used these paints with a more spectacular result i would love to see it OR hear about it...anyone???
