With yellow acrylic paint, I created the perfect shade!

Start by pouring a small amount of your latex paint into your bowl or tray.

Add in a small amount of your acrylic paint.

Mix together, adding more of either type of paint to adjust the tint as needed.

Once you get your perfect shade, you're ready to paint!

Use your paintbrush to apply your paint as normal.

Because both types of paint are water soluble, the result looks the same once it dries!
