Quality of artwork online

I was browsing some of the other artist's sites on ebay today, and came across several youtube videos of them working.I noticed that the paint they were using looked like interior/exterior grade latex paints.

It's things like this that fuels the naysayers when it comes to buying quality art online. True artists take pride in their work as well as the materials used.Latex and acrylic are very different.If you've ever run your hand along a wall you can feel how chalky it feels as opposed to the smoothness of artist grade acrylic paint.Those are fillers added to stretch out the paint. Latex also has a very high water content in comparison to artist's acrylic to make it run smoother when it's being applied to a wall.It's a shame that these artists only care about saving money.I wish their clients knew what they were paying for.
