Painting with Acrylics: Liquitex Muted Colors

Discover how using muted colours can make your sunny colours sing!
Join artist Jan Poynter as she introduces Liquitex Muted Colors, a convenient line of pre-mixed muted acrylics that allow artists the ability to achieve the same desaturated hue every time. Using the muted Heavy Body Acrylics, Soft Body Acrylics, and Acrylic Inks, Jan skips the handmade muted colours she usually creates, and jumps right into painting a sunny Mexican scene, with shadows and mid-tones that make the brighter colours pop.
