Bill’s first innovation. https://alexanderart.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/StoryOfMagicWhitemixdown.mp3 Bill used Magic White™ for his entire career. It has been the standard for much of the wet-on-wet painting done since Bill’s death. Many paint manufacturers copied Bill’s Magic White™ formula. But there is a problem! The Problem

It's important to realize that Magic White and Liquid White are merely mediums made up of a blend of painting materials. There's no magic secret to them. However, to help your paint adhere to this base, be sure to mix your paint with another medium, such as linseed or stand oil. The hardest part of Painting with Acrylic paint is short drying time and blending, now I have come up with a solution. Just like Bob Ross we will make Magic White or Liquid White for the wet on wet painting technique, and to make painting with Acrylics easy. Alexander Art has a commitment to creating a safer oil painting environment. A few years ago we introduced an environmentally friendly brush cleaner. “How,” we wondered, “could we make Magic White™ safer?”Try different mixtures until you come up with the perfect blend for you, and the length of time you want for blending, plus the amount of white you want for the base coat, the more white the lighter your paints will be when applied over the Magic White..

Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product. Therefore perishable goods such as food and drink cannot be returned. Magic White is a base coat made by Bill Alexander, Bob Ross's Teacher, then when Bob Ross starting painting on PBS, he painted the wet on wet technique he learned using the Magic white, but he called it Liquid White..

Because of the effect on color saturation, avoid using fluid white on the foreground areas or wait for the base to dry a bit (24 hours is a good goal). When you're ready, mix your paint with the medium of your choice to get full color in those areas. Magic White™ sped up Bill’s ability to create a painting. In the “Paint with Bill” Art Course, Bill creates a detailed cloudscape in less than five minutes. Later when Bill began painting on television, Magic White™ was a big time saver. Bill only had 27 minutes to create a completed painting and every minute counted. Advice from stirring paint correctly to consistency to use & sanding down to preparing the surface to be painted. I'm told preparation is 80% of the task & that's where I was all over the place. I learned so much by speaking to an expert before embarking... Things like repellent surfaces & products you use on them from previous paint types & how it can affect paint adhesion. Giving some details about your surface & needs & get it right. So many of us just buy a colour we like and paint then wonder why it went wrong. Not only paint but types of rollers, brushes for your task they are there to help. Fluid white will lighten any colors that are painted on top of it. Many artists enjoy this effect, particularly for areas of a landscape that are far off in the distance. It almost automatically creates aerial perspective in skies and can give a painting great depth.

Though it's often applied with a brush, some artists find it helpful to apply the base with a cloth. Either way, you want to use a very thin coat and avoid getting the canvas too wet. Remember that it's still an oil-based product, so treat it as such.

This will change the way you paint with Acrylics forever, you will now have the freedom to paint for up to 1 hour, perfect for blending, Shading, and highlighting your colors for a beautiful and amazing painting. Dulux & Kiran don't just sell us paint... they help us choose the right product for the right surface & wherever that surface is. I was painting my kitchen so needed advice & got plenty of it from a lovely lady who treated me as a special valued customer.

For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. Mix all 3 ingredients together of equal amounts, you may want to experiment with the mixtures, I prefer an equal amount of White Paint, Slow Drying Blending Medium, and the Blending Gel Liquid Clear. I spoke to Kiran from technical and she has made what seemed like a daunting job become an exciting enterprize to look forward to.Now you have up to an hour or more to work with your acrylic paints for blending, and when you start applying your colors you will notice how smooth and easy they are to apply. Take a flat Brush and apply a thin coat to cover your canvas, this is your base coat you will use for painting..It' like having an under painting but it stays wet longer and brightens up your colors for a more vibrant painting.. Bill realized that he spent a lot of time mixing colors on his palette. Most of his color mixing used white paint. Bill wondered, What if there was a way to mix on the canvas rather than on the palette? What if he could cover the canvas with a thin, wet coat of white paint? He could speed up, at least, one part of the painting process. So the concept of Magic White™ was born.
