Hi, I'm new to using acrylics and need some advice. I've got a few sets of Andrea paints for my 54mm and 75mm figures. Some guides say to allow each layer dry before adding another (in particular for the base coats). But on some videos it appears you can just layer over layer. Which is correct? I'm assuming it's a bit of both. A good dry base layer and then using the lights and shadows 'wet on set's.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
Mark (More used to painting in oils)

Hi Mark, I'm a self confessed acrylic user, not familiar with the brand you mention, but I have used the Lifecolor flesh set over Tamiya or Vallejo primer.
I've found white primer works best but in terms of your question unlike oils which are quite straightforward to blend Acrylics seem to work best when dry - so no blending as such. I can't see why blending acrylics when wet wouldn't work, but if I have tried to rush top coats through then sometimes the lower coat starts to lift & become clumpy.
