    This is Liquitex Matte medium, when I pick up paint on my pallet sometimes I double dip with medium!

    I would call that picture heavenly, its like a rainbow has mingled all its colours together and there is an angelic face in there.

    You can try it but I prefer not to, water doesn't really thin the paint it just breaks it down, that's why you can clean your brushes in it. To retain the rich color and fluid motion of the polymer (acrylic) you need to thin and dilute it using a material with the same basic chemical makeup. That's why they make mediums.Good luck!

    This makes me so happy! It is mesmerizing and inspiring to all of us trying to find our journey with the paints and the brushes. As I read through the comments and questions here I am delighted to see you responding to some questions. Given the amount of your followers and the time you must spend at this - that is much appreciated. Hats off to you. Your work is a treasure!!!!!

    The really fun part of this is that anyone can get a canvas and the old acrylic paint pots we all have hidden away somewhere and create a unique piece. I love it! It is beautiful and so relaxing to look at.

    For those of you who say it's a painting of nothing...you need to pray that God will fix your imagination and your heart. Neither are working correctly. Michael, when I watch you paint, it's so beautiful I want to cry.

      Whose the imbecile that said that? I can tell you one fact for certain. When you see an artist do it, it looks so simple. They have mastered that art form! But when you try it, ....well all hell breaks loose. The stress and frustration of attempting it over and over again because you can’t achieve what they’ve done! Not everyone can do what Michael does. He has his unique painting style and colour palette and you can look at a painting and know right away that he is the artist behind that piece! I’ve tried to do clouds and galaxies and I have failed so many times. Yet I love it so won’t give up yet! Anothet great artist that made things look so easy was Bob Ross. Yeah just try doing a mountian scene. Not easy!!!

    • @Im2Old4ThisShite
      @Im2Old4ThisShite 3 роки тому +2

      @@TM-bg5mz SO true. People just don't get it, but on UA-cam, everybody is a damn expert. The only difference between UA-cam experts and actual artists is narcissism. Bob Ross was a perfect example because People can't realize that when they watch Bob Ross, they are seeing perfection in every brush stroke, tap or knife swipe. The ignorant live in bliss while we artists go insane with envy of how the masters make it all look so easy, while we spend our lifetimes in pursuit of just a taste of their collective excellence.

    Abstract painting believe it or not, is very difficult. I tried it and thought oh this will be a piece of cake…nope. So, I let my niece paint for me and I would add balance to her pictures. Kids are the best abstract artist's. This is very good, you make it look so easy.

    HI. I see that you made this 8 years ago but I just happened to be fortunate enough to have it in my recommended videos. I am so in awe of this amazing piece of art. As another person commented, I am obsessed as well. I have never been one to delve into painting or any type of beautiful artistry like this but have always been crafty...i know its two completely different things but connected in some ways. I recently have been drawn to wanting to try. I have purchased supplies on end, watching YT videos more and more...so whats stopping me???? I guess the dream of wanting to create something so beautiful and then the fear of faiing at it lol. But you, in just this one video, have inspired me to JUST TRY IT! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT!!!

    I am still stunned. My dream would be to do a canvas even a fraction as beautiful of yours. The light, the movement, the delicacy of the paint and how every brush stroke had a purpose, I can only dream. I am disabled I love art usually regular art but I am trying to get to learn new techniques that please me not painting for a commission. So I have a 24 hour period without any commitment so I can paint when I want, I have the paints, the tools and the canvass I don't have the knowledge. So I saw you have DVD's but the DVD player is at the other end of the house! I will have to find a way. Thank you so much I have had such joy watching you.

    @Apollo_Blaze Рік тому +6

    Please use some kind of acrylic medium or acrylic air brush medium to thin out paint like this...Do Not use water to do this effect...using water creates a very unstable base that can actually detach from your canvas later, and the paint becomes grainy. This should be explained clearly here. Should not have to hunt down that info.

    Gorgeous, work! I am a beginner-wanna be. I tried an abstract today and failed miserably. I used water to thin my acrylic paint, not knowing any better. I will try thinning with “acrylic Matte medium” once I buy it at the store. Thank you for taking the time to answer questions and offer help to people like me. I really want to paint abstract like you demonstrated in this video. I had no clue on thinning mediums so I thank you for sharing!

    • @MichaelLangArt
      @MichaelLangArt  5 років тому +12

      Stick with the mediums for thinning the paint if you can, water breaks down the acrylic polymer making it flat and lifeless. Take your time and enjoy the process, If you don't like it then its not finished, keep at it until you do. Enjoy...MIX

    • @Apollo_Blaze
      @Apollo_Blaze Рік тому

      I frequently let layers dry when working with washes this thin...if not sometimes you get some color mixes that you do not really want. When using acrylics that wait time is very small.

    @deanakhoshaba8697 8 років тому +3

    Just beautiful. Really spectacular. I have a bunch of questions. How many blending brushes do you use? Are you blending with color, turp, or both? How do you keep the colors from becoming muddy or changing the hue? Are you using the fat over lean rule? If you will take the time to answer these questions, I will appreciate it so so much.

    • @CntrctKllr187
      @CntrctKllr187 8 років тому +3

      +Deana Khoshaba Glad you like! I usually have 4-5 brushes going at once.This is acrylic paint so Im using medium to blend with and overlapping washes or underpainting. Oil paints will get muddy when combining to many colors usually due to the fact they dry slowly. Its much more difficult to make acrylics muddy.Enjoy...MIX

    • @MichaelLangArt
      @MichaelLangArt  6 років тому +5

      I don't use water except to clean my brushes and special effects! You need to use an acrylic medium to thin the paint ( this is explained in my 'Painting Techniques DVD) the water breaks down the paint and leaves it dull and lifeless. It would be like thinning oil paint with gasoline instead of linseed oil. The medium is made of the same material as the paint and thins it beautifully . You will love the results, good luck...MIX

      Leo I ... another good medium is Gum Arabic... it "Softens" the paint... when I want to do a beautiful water reflection I first put the water down on the paper (140 lb)... then brush over that with the G.A. and then put the watercolor over that... it spreads out soooo beautiful... almost like crystal effect... try it... ;)
      Gum Arabic can also be used with watercolors... a tiny bit... ;)
