Have you heard about the glazing technique in oil? Same can be done in acrylic, the big difference it is drying much quicker. So how to do this?
The simplest form of a glaze is a thin, transparent layer of paint applied on canvas or paper, which reflects the colour applied below.
The difference in between oil snd acrylic colours is the drying time, so using a flow enhancer for acrylic can come handy to have better control over the acrylic paint.
The flow enhancer is a transparent medium, which you can premix with your acrylic paint and will help you to create thin layers of paint, which will dry exactly as the premixed colour.

Do you know the glazing technique in oil? The same technique can be done with acrylics, here is how.
1 Step:
Acrylic is drying much quicker than oil, which makes it harder to control the colours while creating very thin layers of paint.
2 Step:
Try to use a flow enhancer, which is a complete transparent medium and helps you to control the colour better for creating thing layers.
3 Step:
The flow enhancer will dry out as premixed, there is no dilution with white. The visual result identical to the mix applied.
