Artist Taylor Laurie recently asked how to use GOLDEN Artist Acrylics in self-3D-printed paint markers. High Flow Acrylics are the best choice for markers - ready to go to work directly from the bottle. Other GOLDEN paint lines can also be modified to work in markers.
Thanks for the great question, Taylor Laurie.

This Pints from the Paint Bar question is one we get a lot: can you make GOLDEN Heavy Body paint behave more like GOLDEN Fluid paints? More simply, what’s the best way to thin a thick paint?
Distilled water and/or a variety of GOLDEN acrylic mediums will thin Heavy Body colors to a more Fluid consistency.
However, adding water or fluid medium spreads out (extends) the pigment and binder in your Heavy Body paint creating a more wash-like quality on your painting. Thinned Heavy Body will be more transparent and, in that way it is NOT the same as our Fluid Paints which have a pigment load and opacity very similar to full-strength Heavy Body colors.
It may seem strange, but the difference is between our Heavy Body and Fluid paints is NOT the amount of water or medium in the paint – they have pretty much the same amount color for color.
Thank you, Meredith, for this great question! Enjoy your FREE pint of paint from the GOLDEN Paint Bar!
