Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use RGM painting knives for?

RGM painting knives are ideal for applying thick acrylic or oil paints and creating textured effects. Use them for the impasto technique, mixing shades on a palette, or scraping paint off a canvas. Their flexible stainless steel blades let you make precise strokes and create interesting effects that are difficult to achieve with a brush.

How do I use fixative spray on finished artwork?

ARTMiE® Fixative Spray protects charcoal, pastel, and pencil drawings from smudging and fading. Apply the spray from a distance of about thirty centimeters in thin, even coats. Let the surface dry completely before applying another coat to prevent drips or unwanted marks on the paper. This helps your work last a long time.

Why should I use painter’s tape when painting?

Painter’s tape is indispensable for creating clean lines and sharp edges on a canvas. Use it to create geometric patterns or protect frames and the edges of a painting from unwanted paint. Once the paint is dry, carefully remove the tape at an angle for clean-looking edges without paint bleeding underneath.

When should I use a painting medium with acrylics?

Painting mediums change the properties of paints to suit your needs. To extend drying time, use a retarder, which lets you blend shades on the canvas for longer. For added gloss or to create glazes, use a gloss medium. These additives change the paint’s consistency while maintaining its color stability and adhesion to a Phoenix surface.

How do I choose the right palette for mixing paints?

Your choice of palette depends on the type of paint. For oil paints, we recommend a wooden or plastic palette that is easy to clean. A plastic palette with wells is ideal for acrylic paints, helping prevent them from drying out quickly. If convenience matters most, try disposable paper palettes, which you can simply throw away after each painting session instead of spending time washing them.
