I like that first one style, coz I love darker colours 😍
Thank you from a beginning artist. I shall be doing a lot of practice❤️
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
I painted a polar bear in the snow, your blending system worked perfectly.
Thank you for sharing your talent, it helps for me as a new student in painting.
Thank you! This is exactly what I’m looking for!
Thank you! I’m new to acrylic and this is very helpful
Super art lesson , so informative and easy to follow.
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.
I like both 😊
I like the way you teach, touching on so many factors and scenarios. NICE! 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
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
It is literally indescribable of how amazing your artwork, and talent is. Cant wait to follow you on this educational experience. Liked and subscribed
Very helpful. Thank you
Thank you great inform
Ation
It's interesting what you say about watercolours and oils at the beginning because that is such an arty perspective. To a regular person who is well into adulthood and takes up painting for whatever reason, acrylics are going to be far more in line with what I think they'd expect from paint. Most people's experience of paint starts with poster paints at school, might include something kind of modelling paint perhaps and maybe woodstains or fence paints, will almost certainly include interior painting and decorating with vinyl matt or silk emulsion, whatever they're called. Those kinds of paints are far more similar to acrylics than to watercolours or oils. It's only people with an arty background who find acrylics weird or outrageously fast drying. To everyone else acrylics are normal and oil paints especially weird! Some artists will bleat on about acrylic's treacherously fast drying times as if that's such an issue. I've been painting for two years now with acrylics and have never found myself thinking "Oh, I wish this paint would dry more slowly!"
It really does depend considerably on what paints you start with, but the lesson needs to cover things that people who start with other media can also understand
@@cinderblockstudios yes of course! I didn't mean to sound critical by the way, it's just a little pet theory of mine, that's all!!
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!
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.
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.
