WATERCOLOR VS. LIQUID ACRYLIC

I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHICH YOU ALL PREFER AND WHY. IM STILL TRYING TO DECIDE, BUT IM LEANING ON LIQUID ACRYLIC. I'VE BEEN USING FW WHICH I HEART, HEART, HEART, BUT SOME COLORS DONT PULL LIKE THE REST. IS THERE MAYBE A MEDIUM I CAN USE FOR THIS?

I love your artwork!!!

I've noticed that it doesn't matter what ink, paint or pencil you're using, some shades just DON'T work as best as others no matter what brand you use. Isn't that weird?; ▶ Reply to This

To answer your question, in general I really like watercolors. I think they're a very evocative medium - and, they're quite forgiving, so they're relatively fun / easy to learn.; ▶ Reply to This

Great work by the way! x; ▶ Reply to This

Plus acrylic has beautiful, painless after care methods where watercolor is a pain to deal with in certain climates. Have a good one xoxo; ▶ Reply to This
