Pro Paint VS. Student Grade Paint

Is there a difference between Pro paint vs. student grade paint and is it worth the price?  I created a video explaining the difference and showing you the results.https://youtu.be/6M84yQcKZTw

In the video you’ll learn the difference between pro paint vs student grade acrylic paint.  You’ll also learn about how to tell if they are transparent or opaque, how much they cost and where to buy them.

Both types of paint have their place and if you’re a beginner I would definitely start with student grade paint because you’re just learning how to use the paint, different brushes and types of supports.  In this blog you will actually see the difference between pro paint vs. student grade paint.
