Thinning fabric paint
by: Cheryl

You should not thin the fabric paint with water as it will compromise the paint which will make it fade and deteriorate.

If Tulip has a spray-on fabric paint you may want to mix the same color in with your brush-on fabric paints.

I'm not aware of any acrylic thinners for fabric paint.

I like to use fluid Golden Artist Colors mixed 1:1 with GAC 900. It's very fluid and the fabric remains very soft after painting.

I hope this helps.
