How to Make Paint Transparent without Using Water

Have you ever found yourself needing to add a transparent layer of paint to your art project, but you don't have the right colour or you only have opaque paints? in this video tutorial, i will show you how to turn any opaque paint into transparent paint without using water.

If you add too much water to your paint, this breaks down the strength of the paint.

I'll also cover the importance of knowing your colour index numbers and paint properties.

Side Note:

My videos are geared towards beginners and intermediates. I talk throughout the process to make it easy for you to understand. I avoid speeding up the videos and mistakes are not edited out so you can see how to fix it if it happens to you. In doing this, the videos are a little bit longer.
