Blending and layers with Atelier Interactive and Golden Open Acrylic Paints.

I find it easier blending with these slower drying acrylics compared to standard acrylics. The only one downside is sometimes the paint seems to dry 'too slow'. As yet I haven't decided which of the two I prefer working with. Recently I used the Atelier range for 3 'practice' portraits done to better my blending skills. I was able to 'rework' a previous dried layer merely by brushing on a little water. When this was not what I wanted I learned to ensure the next layer was not 'watery'. When working in layers with Atelier Interactive paints I needed to apply each layer carefully and 'gently', to avoid re-activating the previous layer.
