- the different lines of acrylic paint and where and how to each kind
– Heavy Body for texture, Fluids for a level flow or a watercolor-like look, High Flow for an ink consistency, and Open Slow drying for extended blending, glazing and printmaking
- the huge line of gels and mediums, the difference between them all, and how to use them to change your paint consistency, create texture, enhance transparency, and extend your paints to save money
