Today's Frequently Asked Question:

Question: How do I get my acrylic paint to be brighter, more luminous and colorful like oils after it dries?

Answer: When acrylic paint is wet it reflects light but once dried, the reflection of light from your acrylic painting lessens. This makes the color look dull. Acrylic paints by nature are duller and less vibrant than oils. Oil paints are brighter because oils have a high oil to pigment ratio which makes them appear more luminous. To make your acrylic paintings brighter use the highest quality acrylic paint possible for your painting. Most Artist Grade acrylic paints come with a higher pigment to binder ratio than student grade paints, making them brighter and more vibrant. Student grade paints are OK for practice but their lower price is usually achieved by using less pigment.
