So I decided spraying lacquers isnt something I want to deal with indoors in the winter time. Maybe during the late spring, summer, and early fall when I can spray them in my booth and take the outside to dry I might try more lacquers but for now I'm gonna give acrylics a go. So I'm waiting on my new airbrushes to arrive and I started thinking of ways to just kind of practice getting the hang of using the airbrush and getting a feel for controling paint flow etc and I started wondering what is a cheap acrylic paint I can buy in a big bottle that I can just spray onto old newspapers to practice with? Something not to expensive but something that will perform somewhat similar to faskolor or pactra Acryl that I can just kinda waste on practing. Something that I can pick up from a local art supply store preferably but doesn't have to be.

Thanks

You have to look around and see what craft stores you have around you then see what they have.
or shop on line you can get a 16oz bottle for about 20 bucks versus a 2 oz bottle for 3-5 bucks

i practice on cardboard

most of them will have Createx or Faskolor and alot of people use this.

it cleans up nice and i spray it in the house
