    Your stuff is always amazing, but sometimes one of them just grabs me by the brain, and I never know which it will be -- this particular one is mesmerizing to me, and I haven't a clue why.

      Unfortunately I think there was a glitch on this video with google search. I'm getting a ton of "views" (over 7000) that don't appear to be real people. I suspect youtube will correct this soon enough. It's actually messing up my viewer retention rate because these not-views are instantly leaving when the video is triggering a "click". It's super weird. I've never seen it before this video and the previous one.

    You can also use zinc white to push things into the distance, works better than just titanium mixed with water.

    • @Lachri
      @Lachri  Рік тому +3

      Normally I would totally agree with you. In this painting the more opaque titanium white would give a better foggy look like I did with the airbrush. I do love transparent white paint though! ❤️

    @sterlinggillette2553 Рік тому

    Out of curiosity....have u used water based personal lubricant to slow down acrylic drying time ?

    • @Lachri
      @Lachri  Рік тому +5

      I don't use or recommend anything but water to slow the dry time of acrylics. Non art supplies can actually ruin a painting making it not archival in the long term, but even if it was safe there is no reason to use them when water works great on it's own :)

  • @amandamelka9645
    @amandamelka9645 Рік тому

    Wonderful video. Do you have a video about varnishing? I feel like I have ruined paintings with varnishing.

    • @Lachri
      @Lachri  Рік тому

      I do but I don't do it the same as in that video anymore (too easy to overdo the first varnish I used to use). I need to make a new one soon!

  • @briankuehn5379
    @briankuehn5379 Рік тому

    I have several airbrushes. Couldn’t I just use one of them spray a fine mist? Being in Sweden I can’t always get the products you suggest…
    Love your work!! I enjoy your videos extremely much!!

    • @Lachri
      @Lachri  Рік тому +1

      Absolutely! That's what I used to use. The airbrush is actually better because it won't let out the larger droplets that the fine mist sprayer occasionally does. Plus you will have more control overall!

    Is Propylene glycol a good idea?.

    • @Lachri
      @Lachri  Рік тому

      A good idea for what? An ingredient in a varnish, sure. To replace the honey in your tea, probably not.

    What is your opinion on acrylics being PLASTIC!!? NOT ECO-FRIENDLY?

    • @Lachri
      @Lachri  Рік тому +5

      Most things in our lives are plastic, stored in plastic, sold in plastic etc. Acrylic paints are the least of our problems. At least with them we are creating something with the intent for it to last unlike everything else that is just plastic waste intended to be tossed. My paintings are not taking up space in a landfill or dumped in the ocean. I don't want something that breaks down quickly being used in artwork.
