I am glad that you found my videos helpful. I usually use burnt sienna, yellow ochre, Cobalt Blue and white to show the hair highlights in light hair color. You may like to see one of my dedicated hair painting tutorial recently. Good luck 👍 You can do it. Thank you so much for your comment 🙏

@@DebojyotiBoruahArt Sorry, I meant to say shadows on her FACE. What colors would you use to lighten them? They look kind of gray!!

Thank you so much for your comment 🙏😊

Thank you! 😊

Thank you so much. I often use a filbert brushe for blending. Sizes may vary according to the size of the canvas and subject. I prefer sizes like 4, 6, 8 and 10

I usually spray water mist on my palette to keep it moist for longer. Try not to use too much paint as like oils. Hope this will work for you. Please share your feedback. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your appreciation 🙏😊

Yes you can use any pre primed canvas directly. But you can use additional layer of guesso or paint for additional texture and smoothness. Thank you

@@DebojyotiBoruahArt thank you could u guide me what type of palette is used for Acrylics

Thank you so much for your kind words and support for my art 🙏🎨 Have a great day ☺️

Thank you so much for your comment 🙏 It's around 5 hours.

If you are new try with simple subjects, like, nose, ear, eye etc. Or try to blend colors within a circle, not directly to face. Then proceed gradually. Share your experience for sure. Good luck and thank you for watching 😊 👍

You don't need to use all colours of the set. Just use primary colours and Burnt Umber and White. Details are given below.

thank you sir

in primary colours which yellow , which red ,which blue have to use

@@ayushmajumdar3981 I recommend to use Ultramarine Blue, Scarlet Lake/Cadmium Red medium, and Yellow Ochre for most cases. You can experiment with Cad yellow medium, Crimson Lake and Cobalt Blue later along with these colors. Burnt Umber and Titanium White is a must in all cases. This is my choice ofcourse. There is no hard and fast rules for this combination thought. All the best 🎨 Let me know what works best for you.

thankyou very much sir🥰❤️❤️

Thank you so much 🙏

You can get it from pixabey website. Thank you.

Try using hog hair filbert brushes for blending and try to use water mist on palette to keep your paint moist. Thank you.

I use only water as my medium. Nothing else. Thank you so much for watching 😊

I am glad that you found my videos helpful 😊 I usually don't use gesso on my canvas as they are mostly pre primed. But sometimes I use gesso for additional texture or smoothness. Yes. I do spray water on my palette to keep my paint moist.

Thank you for your suggestion. I have already shown the technique of outline video in my recent painting. Please check

Any HB or 2B pencil will work. Sometimes I use a marker for outlining the sketch before applying the base coat.

@@DebojyotiBoruahArt Thank you ...SIR

Thank you so much 🙏

If your canvas is pre-printed, then it's not required. But if u need any additional texture or smoothness then u can use gesso. Thank you so much for your comment 🙏😊

Thank you so much for watching 😊

@@DebojyotiBoruahArt I love your art. I'm actually trying portrait paintings now 😅 I'm a newbie in the painting world😂

@@sammy5897 That's great 👍 Definitely you should try portrait painting. It's fun. Good luck 👍

Sure. I'll upload soon and let you know. Thank you so much for your appreciation 🙏😊

True. Thank you so much

It's not like that. You can blend acrylic in any size with the same comfort of oil. And you don't even need to paint fast. Just try spray water on your palette. It will stay wet longer. Thank you.

@@DebojyotiBoruahArt I did that but it doesn't work. I even use Golden Open. Thanks for your help

Mine too dries. I spray water mist on my palette to keep it moist. You may try. It works. Thank you 😊

@@DebojyotiBoruahArt thanks a lot 💕

Thank you so much for your comment 🙏 I mostly use white bristle flat and nylon round. Any brand will work.

@@DebojyotiBoruahArt thank you so much for your reply much appreciated ❤x

I am working on online classes. I will announce it as soon as possible. Thank you.

I am using any heavy body acrylic. Just normal acrylics from Camlin. Thank you.

Some white bristle flat and nylon round synthetic. Any brand will work. Thank you so much for watching 😊

The shadow color here is the combination of Ultramarine blue, Burnt Umber, Cobalt Blue and Ochre. It's towards greenish gray. Hope this will help you. Thank you so much for watching 😊🙏

@@DebojyotiBoruahArt THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!😊

Ofcourse I am a big fan of oil. But I was searching for something forgiving, easy, non toxic, easy to store and can give faster results. And I have found it all in Acrylic. Medium is a personal choice. You can choose any medium you love to work with. Afterall end result matters. Thank you so much for watching 😊🙏

Ofcourse you can. A light tint of Burnt Sienna or a mix of White and Burnt Umber will do. Thank you.

@@DebojyotiBoruahArt thank you very much 💗💗
