Below is are a few of the art questions from
Yahoo answers I have contributed too.
ROUND BRUSHES? How are you supposed two use
a round brush?

Well you paint with the tip,
but want to squeeze the water out of the base or it will drip and ruin what
you are painting. I prefer square or 'bights' as I can use the tiniest
corners for the exacting detail most people get with a round brush, and then
go for the wide strokes also. It all depends on what the brush is made out
of and what medium you are using it to paint. The thing to remember is that
good art brushes is where you want to spend the most money. Buy the best one
you can afford. There are a lot of different brands of brushes and depending
on whether they are synthetic or natural hair, or who makes them, you will
get a lot of different results. I LIKE RUBY SILVER BRIGHT BRUSHES

INTERACTIVE ACRYLICS? Has anyone tried the
new interactive acrylics? What do you think of them?

Actually I have tried
them and was so pleased the company sent me more to test for them as part of
a professional acrylic artist review.
I really liked them. They can be dried instantly with a hair dryer or by
applying a medium, but left on their own, will stay workable for many hours
and can be "woken up" with a spray several days later and reworked. So you
have the blending power of oils with the fast drying of acrylics. You can
layer, have some areas sealed and dry and others not. The colors are softer
and have a more muted effect like oils, but are brighter also as the pigment
concentration allows for a higher viscosity. You definitely need the mediums
to go with them.
The titanium white tends to dry a bit darker, and the tinting white is nice
and not chalky.
They have a buttery consistency and flow a bit better than acrylics and the
gels allow for building up texture as well as the modeling paste. You can
use them over regular acrylics, but if mixed with regular acrylics they
loose the "wet workable time" .
I would recommend these paints. You can also oil paint over them when dry
thought I don't know why you would want to. Ginger
