    Amazing for the Wet on Wet Techniques, My Magic White recipe will give you that creamy, buttery feel of oils, and extend the drying, time, take out streaks, and blend colors beautifully with ease..
    How to Make Magic White for Acrylic Paint for easy blending. using the wet on wet technique like Bob Ross..plus 4 10 minute paintings..
    The formula I used is equal amounts of Slow Dry Blending Gel Medium, and Liquid Blending Gel, plus Acrylic White paint.
    In the video I made the magic white 4 different ways,
    1. with the liquid blending gel, Slow Dry Blending Gel and White paint
    2. with liquid blending gel, and White
    3. with Slow Dry Blending Gel medium and White
    4. with Linseed oil and White but that didn't work out, Linseed oil is only used for Oil paintings!!
    You can use any Slow drying Blending Gels, any Brand, and White, you should get the same results, you can experiment with the amount of each for mixing..
    I put the links to my amazon shop incase you want to buy the ones I used..
    Here is a link to the blending gel I like the most: amzn.to/39G9dGb

    Allison - you are a genius!
    Like you, I have also been on a quest to make acrylic paint blend easier and better. I've spent a fortune on products but the multitude of brand name, made for purpose 'slow dry' mediums etc, when used on their own, just don't quite hit the spot (possibly my fault in the way I apply them).
    Like a mad professor I made my own experimental mixes and medium, some with reasonable success and potential but need further testing.
    I've spent a ridiculous amount of time messing around with all kinds of liquids, creating new potions (when I could have been painting for real), all the time excitedly longing for that Eureka moment! I really enjoy the process - sometimes more than making art, lol! When it comes to creative problem-solving across the board, I'm forever curious, always wondering 'What if..?'
    Your discovery proves that asking 'what if' or 'how can I' and pushing the boundaries a bit further, is so worth it. You got your eureka moment with these results. Well done!
    Now I'm off to try it out - after checking out your Magic Mist video!

    • @allisonprior
      @allisonprior  4 года назад +1

      Thank you Andrea, if you have to leave and your backround dries, if you mean part of the painting is done, once you put paint on the canvas over your liquid white and it dries , then use the liquid white without the white added to your recipe, just use a blending gel, or slow dry medium, or none at all just mist with water, if you add liquid white over dried paint it will cover up what you did, , just like putting white paint over dried paint...also if you only have your liquid white on before you started to paint and it dried, yes you can add liquid white again....I hope that helped..

      @allisonprior  4 года назад +1

      I'm not sure which blending gel you are getting, is it the clear fluid gel or the slow drying get that is white, I love both, give it a try with the one you have try equal amounts, then try half the equal amount of get when you add it to the white, just to see how long the blending time is, also if it's the clear gel fluid it may be to runny without the other one, so you may need a smaller amount if it's fluid.. Experiment to see what works best, I'm still experimenting also , I have a 16 oz bottle of the gel clear fluid I found on Amazon it's almost %20.00 but it should go a long way,
      I will try that and see if it works good, I also kept looking to see if I could find Magic White on line and I did finally find a Bob Ross Liquid White for Acrylics, I'm not sure what that is like, but it's much cheaper to to make your own, I think it's $13.00 plus shipping for 4 oz, I will check again..and That is US..The ones in Canda were $40.00,..I am glad your Treatments are over, and you able to spend more time painting...

    So when Bob Ross does the 3 different colors down his canvas on top of liquid black or say when he does the first coat in black, then the middle in blue etc, in acrylic, would we let that dry and then cover it in our homemade black gesso or black acrylic mixes with say, a matte medium? So will the colors still blend with the color under the black wet gesso or wet acrylic? Do you get what I mean?

    • @allisonprior
      @allisonprior  3 года назад

      Hi Sharon, if you want the colors to blend and the paint to stay wet, you would just put on the Magic Black, and add the blue, red, green, purple, any dark colors if you add white it will turn grey, the black will darken the colors more, if you add mixes like matte medium or black acrylic it will dry faster..Magic white or Magic Black is to keep your paint wet longer for blending the colors...I hope that helps..if you have anymore questions please let me know..

      Great tip! Thank you for sharing, I find if the canvas is big some of the retarder will be dry by the time you get to work on that part, so I put magic white on the top part first, and then when I go to work on the bottom I will put the magic white on then....if I work on a part that I don't want to stay wet I will leave the magic white out....and just use a damp brush...Happy Painting!!

      Hi Steven, did you try it on you watercolor paper, it may not take as well because the paper may absorb the paint, maybe if you gesso it first it will work better, try it and see what happens, I haven't tried it on all the supports yet only the canvas...

      Thank you for asking, no you don't have to add slow dry mediums to you colors as well, you can do one or the other, add the slow dry mediums to you paints, or add the slow dray mediums to make magic white and just use that, when you put that on your canvas and then add the paints that will make the paints stay wet longer, and you will be able to blend your colors much easier, your canvas will be slick so the paint moves easy for a smooth finish.

      Linseed oil is to use with oil paints,, so if you do oil painting it wasn't waste, I did try linseed oil just to see how it would react but it din't work out, acrylic paint and oil don't like each other, it's like putting oil into a glass of water, the oil will sit on top...Keep the lindseed oil it will come in handy if you want to try oil painting, it will last for years..

    You keep referring to Bob Ross- as the inventor of this system. Do some research and you will find that that Bob Ross was taught this system by a fellow from Germany many years ago. Ho was Bobs mentor and showed him everything he knew including the words (happy little clouds) etc. I won’t mention his name but first name is William ---. Look it up, you will be surprised. But- maybe you already know this. You certainly have hit upon something with the liquid white for acrylics.
