Pastels work well in combination with acrylics to soften and blend edges. You must use a 'fixative' over them, of course.
Faber-Castell (brush) ink pens are great in that they can be used along with acrylic paints.
A retarder additve works well for me to extend the working time of acyrlic paint.
Mix twice as much as you'll think you'll need for
that special color . . . like a sky. How many times I've run out and try to duplicate a custom mix. Paint is cheap-store the rest. Paint won't dry out if it's sealed with plastic wrap.
I've used Oven cleaner on brushes and pallets with heavy build-ups of paint. AVOID fumes and contact with materials you don't want 'eaten' away. I use it on many more items too, mower decks, chain saw, any greasy thing. Just gotta' watch it.
