I thought it was an excellent question and wanted to share why I&#8217;m obsessed with <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/24wXeU4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"high flow acrylic paints (opens in a new tab)\">high flow acrylic paints<\/a> with you as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Let me first say a word or two about the different viscosities of acrylic paints.<\/strong> This is not an exhaustive list of acrylic paint options or ways to use them, just a simplified list to give you a sense of where high flow acrylics fall on the spectrum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Heavy body acrylics:<\/strong> The thickest acrylic paints, most similar in thickness to oil paint. They are usually thinned with water or gel medium. <\/li><li><strong>Soft body acrylics: <\/strong>This is a creamier acrylic paint, and requires little or no medium or water in order to apply it in smooth coats. Acrylic craft paint could be grouped in this category. <\/li><li><strong>Fluid acrylic: <\/strong>Paints that have the viscosity of Elmer&#8217;s Glue or a liquid moisturizer. <\/li><li><strong>High flow acrylic:<\/strong> Paints that have the viscosity of water or milk. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"299\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Pink-Dots-Airport-Page.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Pink-Dots-Airport-Page.jpg 900w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Pink-Dots-Airport-Page-480x159.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 900px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of these paints can be further thinned with water or a medium to create washes (similar to watercolor.) Sometimes artists will also thicken heavy body paint with other agents to create a textured effect on canvas as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now let&#8217;s look at why high flow acrylics are so darn fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><br>5 Reasons I Love High Flow Acrylic Paints<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>They run like a river over dry earth.<\/strong>  These paints move like water and earth. Some paints have heavier pigments than others, and the way they move with and around each other creates natural looking forms, like in the closeup below.

I love regular acrylics too, but high flows are just a blast. They invite you to loosen up, get the inner critic out of the way, and just see what happens.
