How do I paint a blizzard in acrylics?

I am painting a southwestern scene, and I want a brisk snow blizzard effect over all|||You can dilute the acrylic paint somewhat with water until it is loose enough to use with a tooth brush and screen. Test on another surface before starting on your painting, that way you won't ruin it if it is not the consistency or effect that you want. Dryer the tooth brush, the more controllable the spray. Use a shaded white (add some blue or purple) to the smaller more distant snow flakes, and use a brilliant white for the up close larger ones, assisting with perspective.|||Diluting the acrylic paint with water might make it less structurally sound.


There is a clear acrylic solution you can get called co-polymer emulsion that can thin the paint, and act like glazing an oil painting.





The only drawback to this is that the co-polymer can be quite shiny, although I suppose you can use a matt/satin varnish over this.
