Can I make my own latex washes?
Make your own Latex Washes
Washes are simple to make by mixing an acrylic latex paint and water. Start by using one part of each. You may adjust the intensity by adding 10 - 90% water.
To make a latex glaze, begin with transparent latex blend and glaze (paint without any pigment, readily available), add latex paint and water. The intensity of the color is determined by the amount of paint added to the blend.
Basic recipe: 5 parts blend and glaze, 1 part acrylic latex paint, 1 part water, (optional) 1 part base and glaze extender.
