If your acrylic paintings are looking too rough when you try to blend, try this tool to keep everything smooth! This tool will help keep your acrylic paints wet longer so that you have time to blend like you would in oil paints! I'm showing you this tool in action to blend clouds in wet over dry vs drybrushing and again in a more advanced raccoon painting!

I have recently learned the fine mist water technique when painting northern lights, but I’m happy you’ve helped me to appreciate that it can be used in so many other acrylic applications. I started painting in my 60’s and turned 70 yesterday. Videos like yours are giving me more and more confidence to press forward. I’m enjoying it so much more now that I’m seeing some advancements with each painting. Never too old to learn more and more!!! Thank you

I've used a fine mister for years. I love the one from chroma atilier. I realized I had stumbled onto something amazing when several people who "hate acrylics" due to the plastic look just gushed over my work and "loved my oils"...that were acrylics. I don't work with oil paint. I'm so glad to see someone sharing this with beginners! You and your husband are hilarious 😆 ❤️

You do not have problems with the layers already there "unglue" from the substract when you mist it?

@@tiagodagostini Do I have issues with the previous layers of the painting coming up? Never. I let the paint dry completely before adding another layer. I only use liquitex and golden so results with other brands may vary.

Hahahahaha loved this! You’re husbands such a good sport. Thanks for the painting tips as well. Definitely going to give them a try, I totally lean to the smooth blending. I fear I often overblend🙈

@Lachri 2 года назад

Overblending is easy to do with this technique. You only need a couple of swipes with that mop brush (or blush/powder brush in my case) to get good results. If you're doing more than 5 swipes with the brush it's probably too much!

@TTundragrizzly 2 года назад

I prefer oils……BUT, you also need ( for your health’s sake) good ventilation. Winter time makes it more difficult because you can’t crank open windows. Acrylics-winter, oils-summer.

@Lachri 2 года назад

I'm so glad we have both to choose from!!

@saranevillerogueart9627 8 месяцев назад

I use pure lavender for layer one. Walnut oil for other layers.. Turpenoid natural for brush cleaning and a tiny bit for paint thinner. Non- poisonous . Might need slight ventilation . The lavender very strong odor but NOT. Toxic to breathe or on skin.

@saranevillerogueart9627 8 месяцев назад

Dries faster too than. Linseed oil not toxic like turpentine or mineral spirits

Hi I have just found your wonderful, easy to follow video's with humour thrown in (God Bless your husband ! ) I am 74 and have just got back into painting with Acrylic after a long time ... ugh ... back to basics for me, lol, also have discovered Coloured Pencils and Adult Colouring Books, all of which is making me a lot happier 'home alone' along with my adopted greyhound 'Sunny'. So delighted to have found such in depth videos and I am enjoying your company as I start from scratch again. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into these.

Thank you for this excellent tip. I have heard about people using oil on acrylic and was thrilled to see you do this too. I was going to go out and purchase a few oil paints to try on my own acrylic paintings, but now I may wait for my mister to arrive ( thank you for the link) and try this method first.
