I have been working on cave complex for my Skull and Shackles game. I bought a set of acrylics I am finding that it gets used up quick. I would have done better to get much larger bottles of paint rather than the small tubes.

It helps on tiles to start with a basecoat close to the same color you want the tiles to be. Saves on the texture paint, plus allows you to water down your acrylics that you are brushing a bit as well. If you are thinking of not spraying a base coat you will go through a ridiculous amount of brush on acrylic so be sure to use a spray basecoat..... Hope that helps...

Not sure I remember correctly, but I thought it was Rubbish in Rubbish out who recommended going to your local store that sells colors and ask for stuff they got returned from customers (who bought the wrong color shade or returned their color for whatever reason) - he got large quantities for almost nothing that way... Also, try ebay and get wall color that people sell because they bought too much. I got several whole boxes full with 0,75 l bottles of wildly different shades for less than 20 € (and a third of that was shipping cost). I won't be able to use that up for years. the downside is that these tinting colors sometimes look very different when they are dried, much more so than regular acrylic painting colors. But that forces me to experiment with the colors before applying them, which in turn should bring more experience with colors in general...
