Mixing Water-Based Mediums

A helpful acrylic painting tip submitted by a fellow artist.

By Marion Boddy-Evans, About.com

I mix water-based mediums together without fear and problem. The only thing to remember is that acrylic will resist time and cleaning much better, so it is wise to put an acrylic clear glaze on top of the painting unless you frame it behind glass.
