I know this is an older video but I found it and it's really, really good. Thanks for giving such detail on everything that you're doing and why. Really appreciate your time and effort!!
Haha, I wouldn't call this an older video by my channel's standards, but thank you! Always appreciate when my lessons can inspire others
Thank you great inform Ation
Thank you! This is exactly what I’m looking for!
Thank you from a beginning artist. I shall be doing a lot of practice❤️
I painted a polar bear in the snow, your blending system worked perfectly.
Thank you! I’m new to acrylic and this is very helpful
Super art lesson , so informative and easy to follow.
Thank you for sharing your talent, it helps for me as a new student in painting.
I like both 😊
I like the way you teach, touching on so many factors and scenarios. NICE! Thank you!
I like how u do the blending and the outcome looks more natural.Thank u so much for that lesson.Well I’m going to go try my new technique and again thanks
Great video. However, the quality of acrylic paint can make a huge difference. Use artist quality where possible (not the student stuff)because has a much higher percentage of pigment than student paint. You are using Golden which is favoured by many professional artists...but it’s pretty expensive, even compared to Windsor and Newton artist paints (my preference). W&N has a 30 min working time (on the pallet) and doesn’t darken when it dries (unlike most other acrylic paints). The Golden Open paints are painfully expensive in the UK.
Totally agree, it's rare to have someone back me up in the comments regarding the need for quality paints. Interestingly in this video I wasn’t exclusively using Golden. The red was an M. Graham and my yellow is a Utrecht, both artist grade paints.
@@cinderblockstudios yes, I was astonished at the difference between student and artist paint. They are very different.
Very helpful. Thank you
Thanks, a very helpful video. The one on the left looks like it is later in the evening, just remove the sun !! All in all it spurred my imagination 😊
If what I made makes you make things then I call that a win :D
It is literally indescribable of how amazing your artwork, and talent is. Cant wait to follow you on this educational experience. Liked and subscribed
Hi thank you for the video I was actually just wondering do you go into your paintings with a reference or an idea in your head or do you freehand it does it make a difference in the come?
For my own work it's a bit of a mixed bag. A large portion it is based on things from my sketchbook which is mostly me playing with shapes, value, and positive/negative space. Some other stuff I just make it up as I go based on experience. Some other projects are inspired by photos I took/things I saw. VERY little of what I do though is a 1 to 1 copy of something, I don't believe art should be a copy, but more a representation.
Question; do you need to wait for one layer to dry before adding paint in top? Also do you varnish each layer before adding additional paint thank you
You don't have to wait, but in the mid-drying stage you do run the risk of ripping up the semi-dry paint with a new layer. Also varnishing of any kind is a FINISHING coat to a painting, it should never be applied before you're finished.
How do you keep the bristles if your fan brush from sticking together making splotches instead if branches?
Make sure the fan brush you're using has stiff bristles
@@cinderblockstudios thank you!
On the layering, you are working fast so the paint is still wet. Presumably the technique should still work if you allowed each layer to dry before going to the next?
yep, that's the idea
What is the best method of keeping the paint moving for the longest length of time?
For acrylics you really don't have a lot of time regardless. If I need to extend it I'm usually mixing with my Golden OPENs at a 50/50 ratio to the regular paint. Using a lower viscosity paint like a soft body can also work, but the coverage will be considerably different than what I show in the video
Or pastels…. To acrylics.
