Moana Watercolor VS Acrylic Speed paint Big as part of the BIG Eye Disney Princess Art Crawl

Moana Speed paint Watercolor VS Acrylic. Watch me paint Moana in watercolor and Acrylic side by side in time-lapse

Moana is an upcoming American computer-animated musical fantasy adventure comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and the 56th film in Disney's animated features canon. The film is being directed by Ron Clements and John Musker. Auli'i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson provide the lead voices. It is scheduled to be released by Walt Disney Pictures on November 23, 2016.
Painting a Disney Princess we have not yet met was a incredible challenge. Little concept art has been released and I was left by making myself familiar with her legend. That is how the Watercolor vs Acrylic paint off happened. I am always getting asked what is the difference between Watercolor and Acrylic painting ? Can I paint this in watercolor ?  The answer is always about Light and Dark, and what comes first in a painting.
That is how the simultaneous painting idea came to be born. Watercolor is painted with the lightest space being held and darker elements Slowly added in. For me in my acrylic practice I layer lighter and lighter runs of paint. Dark to Light. Seeing the two painting evolve side by side though was so amazing .

The Art Sherpa's Tips for Acrylic Retardents and Slow Dri mediums

I love acrylic paints. They are able to so so many things for artists. The can look like watercolor or oils. You can do Grisaille or impasto. However for the new painter acrylics fast drying times can be very frustrating. It can take a lot of thought working out those new art skills and often blending is nearly impossible for the fledgeling newborn artist. But like everything in the acrylic paint world, the chemists at the major paint companies have solutions. I am going to talk about Liquitex today because I am personally familiar with their paint lines.

The slowing of Drying times comes down to moisture, blending mediums, and retarders. For moisture you may have seen my love of the misting bottle and it is a great way to slow the drying out of paint. Its dow side is that you can over thin the paint and end up with an unexpected drip or run.
Then there are the Slow Dri medium and gels. I use the medium. You can add as much to your paint as you like without Breaking down the paint. It will however thin it causing it to me be more translucent. Slow Dri medium lends itself to detail work and smooth finishes like you may want in a sky or water. The gel is thicker and lends itself to thick techniques like wet into wet impasto.
There also a suite of Retarders but they do not contain and acrylic resin Binder and be tricky for new painters. However I am a fan of their palette wetting spray for painting in locations that would dry my paint out fast! Anyone in a desert painting outside should always have a bottle.
 If its an option for you go buy golden open acrylics and those are amazing. They do everything oils paints are supposed to do but better. There down side is they are a new product so there are not a lot of painters testing their limits yet. Also they are in the higher price point of paint.
If being able to blend has held you back from achieving your art goals go ahead and get a bottle of Slow-Dri medium. It works in any acrylic paint. It important you do not get frustrated in your painting journey before all the fun starts to happen. Because this dear chickens only gets better and better every painting. Live in Light, Love and Creativity.  See you at the Easel soon!
