Also folks remember gently while blender don’t push down on your brush. Gently glide across your paint. That was my down falls many many years ago. Happy painting ., it definitely is a stress reliever.
BEST painting tutorial ever. I have always struggled with blending - ruining many a canvas. The set up and tools are so important and the energy one must put into the technique Thank you so much for this video. I cant wait to have a crack!!! Subscribed!!
Beautiful but clearly I need to up my brush game😂 I’ve never seen so much water used with acrylics. I’ve always heard too much water breaks them down but ig that’s what’s needed first a good blend. Great video thanks❤
Thank you! I have always felt like a hot mess rushing to get my blend done and thank you for making it real! Chaotic is part of it! Great doing real time and taking time to go through all the supplies and processes.
For a basic sky background I would probably do something like this with lighter blues at the bottom and a darker blues at the top: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hpnVMVxA3zo.html
@@GregLowmanArtthanks, I meant only making a gradient on a closed circle not all the canvas, maybe I should try to tape a circle with a small taper curve
Something that has become very useful to me is a spray bottle that is mostly water, with a few drizzles of vegetable glycerin, and about 1/4 full of arcylic paint thinner medium. The liquid is transparently milky white. I can mist it over my palette, I spray it directly into cups, sometimes on to my brush, and rarely, I spray my whole canvas with it. This stops the "dusty" effect when I use too much water on my acrylic paint without me noticing. It keeps the pigments bound, extends the working time, is cheaper than using mediums directly, and somehow ends up working more smooth than water. I tend to do 100 glazes so overwatering arcylic could be a big problem for me. In fact, I would have made this gradient by glazing, and it would have been very frustrating and taken longer. 🤔I should buy a soft large brush, because all my really big brushes are rather stiff and meant for latex wall paint
❤️ My basic technical problem is the blending technical procedure If you use a little bit of linseed oil will that help instead of waty? I've just subscribed , actually I've been working with watercolors Thanks for the video ✅
Water is going to be best. If your paint is drying too quickly, you can add some slow-dri amzn.to/3GhL5gc to it, but linseed oil is used with oil paints & will not help you here.
