I like that you are very patient with The critical comments. Most people block a viewer as soon as they say anything critical. Good information. It will help me a lot.

@sharsings2682 3 года назад

BEST TUTORIAL EVER!!!! Thanks man! My blending is so much better now - I understand what i was doing wrong before!

@mr.hgorgan1812 4 года назад

exactly what I needed. Thank you for the short and precise tutorial! I started working on a painting of a black horse in motion viewed from front, and this is exactly the background I want, but I'll use nuances of brown and yellow.

@johnswaim3919 4 года назад

Newly subbed. Very relatable presentation. I just got a tube of the same blue. Its great for shadows and night scenes. Im looking forward to seeing more of your vids.

@thehubofchemistry1462 4 года назад

Thanks sir. That's the end of my struggle to increase the drying period of acrylic paint. By your video I knew that liquitex flow aid is very useful to increase the drying time of acrylic colour. Just now i have ordered for it. Thanks a lot sir for valuable video. You are grate sir.

@wynneward2794 Год назад

This was SO helpful. I wouldn't mind seeing another blending video where you blend a more colorful background, like a brown to sunset colors to a blue-gray at the top. Thank you so much for doing these basic blending videos for us newbies!

@kylieb4836 4 года назад

Wow... when you started with just the 3 colours roughly laid on your canvas I thought there’s no way these will blend smoothly - what a gorgeous background you ended with. I’ve only used inks for blending, this is all still new to me, so Thanks for sharing some great tips with us newbies ❤️

Awesome job here...wow...I am going to do this with the painting I am on now...and I really like that you use the canvas panels too..I always thought that only stretched canvas was the way to go, but now I work on the panels and they are great, and much easier to store than bulky stretched canvas...Thanks for this great video lesson, you rock...

I ended up adding a messy thin golden line to my horizon and Im pretty happy with the result. Thanks for the wonderful tutorial ❤️❤️
