Painting sub-zero (Feat. a baby)

Hi y'all

Meet Tristan....

Since this little guy will be using the space, I have to move my work space from there....

To there....

Installations are just under way, but I think there is definitely some potential ( Not that I plan on being able to paint much anytime soon...) .
However, as you can see from all the snow, here we often have sub-zero temperatures.

So the question is: Will freezing damage my painting materials; I'm thinking mostly about my pots of acrylic paints, and spray cans, but also the rest if anyone think there might be a problem.

Thanks
Green

Brush on matt varnish will not like it as it promotes clumping and attractive white spots when used.

I'd guess regular acrylic paint should be fine after a good agitation. Can't see why they'd get upset

Thanks, yep it almost too real, lol.
And it's the cutest baby in the whooole world ;)

It warming up actually, but we got a lot of snow the past few weeks.
I got a lot of room, and I can do what I please in there, noise, smoke, paints on the walls... plus it's outside, which is more a plus than a con I think (Ie: Peace and quiet, hehe.)

Very cute, congrats!

You'll have to watch the spray paints, I don't think they like it that cold. Not sure about the acrylics either, really. If the water freezes, I guess it would just reconstitue after a thaw, but to test it why not toss a pot into the freezer?

Good luck,
Zach

Keep your paints in a caddy in the house and bring them out with you each time. Don't freeze them. I can't imagine it would improve them :(
 
Left some of my paints on the back porch GW,reaper,spray,creamcoat and even testors not a pretty sight even after they thawed,cost me a fortune in the long run to replace them they would not adhere to anything afterwards.DD
