well yet once more i have come back to this great video thank you Charles you are by far the best instructor i have seen on you tube thank you for your time given freely
Thanks for a wonderful painting Charles. I come from watercolor to acrylics and was really struggling. Now I realize I can use my acrylics like I did watercolor. Thank you so much for your information. I enjoy all of your videos very much I’m 94 and still painting likes mad. Thanks again.
Mr. Evans, you're a great teacher, I was about to throw my acrylics in the trash, and focus on watercolor, I have learned a great deal from you, thanks again for your videos.
i dont mean to be off topic but does anyone know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot my login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Spencer Lucian i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Perfect timing on this tutorial Charles, I gave acrylics a go but we're using the paint way to thick I think, will try again with more water.Thanksfor sharing your tips.😀
Great great great i learn something all the time.. Hope to see you do something a little bigger..Love the pictures in the back round you have painted. Thank you Charles . You should do live some day.
Wow! Charles! I’ve just discovered you.......you could just be a lifesaver to my painting attempts!, you explain things so simply, I normally paint in acrylics, would love to see more acrylic lessons 😉
If every you get a chance to do another youtube step by step painting with Acrylics Charles it would be lovely if you could do a step by step tutorial on canal scene in acrylics, I have looked on youtube no one has done one...Thank you my lovely for showing us how to paint and making it easier for us, you are a excellent teacher..I bought a few of your step by step books...
Amazing...........I am a beginner and have only used watercolours because I thought you had to have special canvas, brushes etc to do Acrylics. I too used to watch you on the tv so am pleased to find you on you tube. Do you spray the acylics on your pallet before putting a lid on and I know you washed your brushes whilst you were using them but do you have to clean them again later?
Wow your art is amazing and you make it look so simple. I just started a watercolor class and sometimes I feel like giving up but you encourage me to continue. Thank you.
I am glad I found your videos. I find you easier to follow than some of the others. I like how you explain your colors and which ones you use and how to use them. I like how you simplify the process in such an exciting way. I love how you are using acrylics like watercolors and mix and abuse your brushes. I have a question. I read or heard that if you add more than 30% water to acrylics it won't adhere to paper (?) I am new to acrylics and needing much instruction. Thank you for yours!!
Thank you so much, pleased you enjoyed them. That 30% business is absolute nonsense! If you want you can use them exactly like watercolours. Do a big sky wash with as much water as you like.
@@charlesevans7706 Thank you, I think I will. I just purchased your book, so I am excited to dive into it. I like listening yo your voice you sound like Sir Anthony Hopkins....;)
HiCharles m really excited to see this video today. Never knew acrylics can b painted like water colour n yet able to take advantage of its medium n add colour on top to highlight. May I ask if I store the balance cryllic paints in the plette box how do I reuse the dried paints? It is easy to dissolve dried up water colour paints in palettes. Acrylics become very hard when dry. Thanks for your tips.
I noticed you painted the tree from the top down towards the earth, is this particular to acrylics, as a fellow artist Ashley Jackson advises with water colours too always paint from the earth upwards "thats the way they grow". Your thoughts please.
Can you use the same methods on canvas as I started with watercolour moved to acrylics but found doing clouds with acrylic to difficult as the white just disappeared in to the sky
Love watching you using acrylics using washes like water colour, is it worth using water colour with the disadvantage of having to use that horrible masking fluid ? Love the way you can put light over dark
Charles, I love your style and aspire to your quality. You create exactly what I want to create so you have been a great inspiration and teacher. I do have a question: Is there a "technical" term for the acrylic water color method or do you just call it water color? Just wondering since it has some advantages over straight water color. Love your voice.
Do you use a certain set of colors every time, like in watercolor? Do you have a list which colors you use? I am currently working through you ships and harbours watercolor book. Its very helpful.
Just the same question I was going to ask! Many other places tell you not to add too much water to your acrylics or it will "underbind" and come off the canvas.
Very difficult to hear you all the time. Very nice tutorials for practicing some important basics. My raw sienna (Lefranc/Louvre) is brownish. When I add white it turns into a flesh tone
He's gone into mumbling mode.....what's the problem with keeping the volume up. It seems to occur when he turns his head to paint. Get some proper video and sound recording equipment .
@@charlesevans7706 Good idea Charles. You can buy a nice set up for a grand. Then with any money you have left, send me a set of brushes and a set of acrylic paints and don't forget paper so l have the right sort. Can you send it all first class post because l get impatient waiting for anything. PS. You might parcel force faster.
