Createx Candy₂O Explained | Pigment vs Dye Candy Paint + How to Use It

In this Createx Candy₂O tutorial, I walk you through the basics of using Candy₂O paints — from proper mixing and reduction to spraying techniques and layering for that deep, glassy candy finish. If you’ve ever struggled with candy colors or weren’t sure how to start, this video breaks it down step by step so you can get consistent, professional results with your airbrush or spray gun. I demonstrate how to apply Candy₂O over black and white airbrushed artwork to enhance depth, tone, and vibrancy. You’ll also learn the key differences between pigment-based and dye-based candy colors — and why that matters for your results. This video breaks down how Candy₂O behaves over different values, how to control transparency, and how to avoid common mistakes when layering over artwork instead of metallic basecoats. Whether you’re creating t-shirt art, panels, or custom graphics, you’ll see exactly how to use Createx Candy₂O to bring your designs to life. Perfect for artists, beginners, and pros who want to understand what makes Candy₂O unique and how to use it effectively in airbrush art and custom painting.
