RE: ShortFilm: An Object At Rest
I never used a spray bottle for acrylic and it doesn't dry fast with me. You can make the acrylic more fluid by adding water.
If it comes to watercolour I can imagine it's practical if you paint wet on wet which should go fast.
I try out brushes now. The last days I only used two. One is a 0.5 inch (a bit bigger) brush and the other is meant for makeup (eye liner).
The fine one is not only good for lines but also makes the paint darker (I used it here for water colour - wet on dry - the brush doesn't hold much water but a lot of paint (it's more scrubbed in).
👇 acrylic without varnish
The big brush I use now goes fast for smaller sizes (I recomment a bigger one if you want to paint bigger) this one is soft (straight top great for lines) and doesn't damage the paper I use too much.
Painting is a process. Trying out the brushes and one type of paper/canvas is important.

@almaguer it's hot inside with you. Do you use a spray bottle? Do you add water or is the paint fluid enough? Do you store what is left on the pallet?
Every material, every brush, every sponge, or whatever, is an adaptive process. Everything is new; it's normal for us to fall in love with certain brushes.
I don't have a sprayer. I always calculate and pour the minimum amount of paint onto the palette, so I don't waste any paint.
I'm more concerned about the paper I paint on.
Paper and brush/sponge go hand-in-hand. The brush/stroke/pressure + water can damage it the paper (+ not willing the wait till it's dry, like me 🤔).
I like to paint wet in wet.
