Wow. Wonderful video! Love the way it turned out. You are a master with a paintbrush...and you use both hands! Your videos are so fun to watch. Thank you so much for sharing.
WOW ur still the best.....noone blends like u do and to watch u switch back and forth with both hands!!! watching the depth appear in this one was great.....u r the best mr.lang..thank u for sharing
Absolutely gorgeous! I have painted with oils for some twenty years, realism in a painterly style. I study what you do in hopes of turning out some abstracts, a big change from what I have done in the past!
i just came across this video and sat watching mesmerized from beginning to end, What a beautiful result! I am going to start with Acrylics the first time for 10 years but will have to find something simpler to start with! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.
excellent great to see your videos again. I spend my down time watching them and your DVDs trying to get as much instruction as inspiration. beautiful work as always
Soy colombiana, siempre me ha gustado pintar, me encantan los colores con luces y sombras, estoy encantada con tu obra, me la paso horas enteras mirando tus videos... es maravilloso lo que puedes hacer con tus manos!
Hello MICHAEL! THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE! I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOUR WONDERFUL VIDEOS! YOU INSPIRE ME TO TRY HARDER EVERY DAY! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH AND GOD BLESS YOU, MY FRIEND! Mari 😘❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Awesome, as usual, Michael! If I could just learn to fade and shadow the way you do I would be content. One question, how do you keep your brushes so clean? Do you use something special to clean them with?
Glad you like! I'm always rinsing my brushes in water to keep them clean during a painting, in between colors etc.When I'm done for the day I dip them into fabric softener ( which keeps them soft for the nice blending) and close them in a plastic container. I never let them dry.I have brushes that Ive had for many years and have never been dry.This also applies to oil painting.Hope this helps, Enjoy!
Love this painting technique. I have just finished the "Painting Techniques"...mixing, blending, shading with color. What I'm wondering is whether you are using fluid acrylics, since you are painting with such thin washes.
Thanks once again MIX. You're by far the best, on UTube. The latest video productions keep getting better. Bringing your palette into the shot has really added to the overall experience you bring and teach us. Shudder was intense, but my favorite by far is still Xanadu. WE WANT SPACE MONSTERS! Please paint one from that series. When you start with the wet canvas are you using straight water or your 25% medium to water mix?
great work!!!!!!.... and a question...... can i use water instead of "acrylic medium" to keep my paint workale for long time...??? any sugestions on that.................
Hi, No! I would refrain from using water unless you are trying some special affects. Medium is made from the same material as the acrylic paint so its very compatible. Water however breaks down the paint leaving a dead and lifeless stain. It would be like thinning oil paint with gasoline. Hopr this helps...MIX
Hello Michael. Love your artwork! Is you painting 'No Way Out' created using Acrylic or oil paints? Would you mind disclosing some detailed information if possible? Thanks. Terrell
micheal, a question regarding your technique of doing color gradients resp. your washing do you use gesso (or a similar product) before you start painting? if yes, how long do you let it dry? and could you let me know if the acrylic colors you apply are waterly and if the 2nd brush you use for bluring is just a dry brush of if something is on it ? thanks for any infos and best regards from austria
Hi Kati, No Gesso. I purchase most of my canvas primed. I do use gesso once in a while for the purpose of texture.I do thin my paint at times with a medium depending on the purpose.Both my brushes are wet with medium at all times. I don't use a dry brush unless I am looking for a dry brush drag on the paint application.Enjoy...MIX
Michael, I need to ask you a very basic question: When I'm through painting, no matter how thoroughly I wash the paint out of my brushes with water, when they dry they are still hard and gummy feeling. What am I doing wrong?
there are some really good brush cleaners available that when your brush is dry and hard and gummy a quick rinse and they will be soft again and ready to go. I very seldom let a brush dry, I put it in an air tight container and it will stay wet for your next use. Also dipping them in fabric softener and rinsing will keep them nice.Enjoy...MIX
Just unbelievable to see how, going from some rough lines thrown on a canvas, you end with such an outstanding result ! °.° The tricky thing is, watching you painting with so much ease as if guided by some natural instinct, makes it look SO easy..... What-a-mistake ! ! ! I tried to do something similar and.................. not even close to be close :)) May I ask you which medium you use to create your shadings? That's the hardest part for me! Do you allow the first coat to dry before applying the second colour ? ? That's what I did, using a mix of water, binder and paint.... for an unconvincing result unfortunately. I'm new to painting. If you have a moment - you certainly are very busy - I would be honoured to have your advice on this ! Thank you :)
Hello, I am new to painting with acrylic, my previous work was all aerosol, I am very impressed with your work, and was inspired by this video. So far my attempts at abstract art looks like slop and not art. I was wondering if you had any advice for me, also I noticed you used two brushes. One applies the color, and the other seems to blend it. Is the second brush wet or dry, and also is there a specific type of brush I should use? Thanks for your time and reading my comment.
Wow. Wonderful video! Love the way it turned out. You are a master with a paintbrush...and you use both hands! Your videos are so fun to watch. Thank you so much for sharing.

Absolutely gorgeous! I have painted with oils for some twenty years, realism in a painterly style. I study what you do in hopes of turning out some abstracts, a big change from what I have done in the past!
The painting is just wonderful.Love the way the painting progresses,amazing .Simply loved it,will try and paint it.You are an absolute genius.
I learn a great deal from your videos and the different washes makes wonderful colours variations. Thanks once again for the upload.

Eres un artistazo...mencanta tus pinturas👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
love the art and the music!!
Lindo maravilhoso
Awesome video! A question - How do you keep your acrylics from drying out while you're painting...do you use a medium?
Thanks Michael for sharing!
Yes I use an acrylic medium, keeps the paint workable as long as I stay on it!
great work!!!!!!.... and a question...... can i use water instead of "acrylic medium" to keep my paint workale for long time...??? any sugestions on that.................

wonderful sir..I am beginner...how you create the combination of the color? and what the differences of brush in your right and left hand?
Wonderfulness... thank-you very much
