to make the canvas easier to work on, sand it with fine grit sandpaper. brush it off. put a lager of acrylic fluid matte medium mixed 50/50 with gloss medium and it will seal the surface making it smoother and the paint easier to brush on. helps brushes last longer too.
if you want a black black, mix Pthalo Green Yellow Shade with Quinicridone Violet (PV19) . it will be a transparent black like Gamblin's Chromatic Black in oils.
you struggle to get the paint on the canvas because it is so rough. try sanding it smooth, apply a layer of fluid matte medium and let it dry. it will make the paint easier to apply. or mix some gloss medium into acrylic gesso and apply a layer with 50/50 gesso to matte medium or even gloss medium. your paints will go on smoother that way. the opaque gel really does work well that's for sure. almost looks irridescent.
I actually prefer to see the canvas texture through all my paintings that's why I use the opaque and slo dri mediums in all my paintings. I think the canvas texture really adds beauty to a painting. 😊
U used more gel medium than fluid. It all differs in consitency of the paint. Fluid makes paint runny, more ink like which is good for some applications and gel medium is gonna give u thicker paint more like oils. The dying times don't differ tho, both at 40% longer dry time. Just depends on consultancy of paint...what u like more or how u need the paint to act.
I used the amount needed to not make the paint totally transparent and for getting a blend similar to oil paints. If you add to much of the fluid medium your paint will be so transparent you will need to layer up to a whole lot to get your canvas covered especially when you tint the canvas. I use this application for landscape paintings so I needed a good slo dri medium that extends the painting dry time without making my colors overly transparent. Also I have left out the 2 mediums mixed with acrylic paint overnight and the gel medium formed a film but was still not dried out, whereas the fluid one was dried completely. From my experience, the fluid one dries much faster than the gel.
Beautiful work. The subtle cools in the blues are nice against the warmer values. Good texture and movement to this as well. I dig it 👌😊 -Best of luck on your art and your channel, and much support from one artist to another. -Huge 👍's up!
I put the amount recommended for each medium. If you put to much of liquid medium, your paint will just be super transparent. Which is also why I prefer the gel.
What do you think the biggest difference is between the 7 & 9? I want to buy one for my husband for shooting RU-vid art videos, he’s using an iPhone X right now. Do you think the GoPro would be better? Thank you! Checking out your art vids too 😁
The 9 has way better quality than the 7 even in low light. My first videos were done with the 7 and it's a big difference. I don't know much about the iPhone X vs the Gopro.
Hi, your paintings are beautiful. I would like to know what do you use to blow after you used the hair dryer, it seems to be little air gun with a kind of bottle container. I would really appreciate to know what it is, or if you have a link where I could buy this product. Thanks!
Thank you! It's a mini airbrush. www.amazon.com/Cordless-Rechargeable-Hand-held-Compressor-Decoration/dp/B08FQTFQ7S/ref=sr_1_45?crid=1CA7LP31LHU9A&dchild=1&keywords=portable+airbrush&qid=1611382113&sprefix=portable+air%2Caps%2C490&sr=8-45
