That looks wonderful ❣ Does this work with acrylics, too?

[@brennerfineart]

Thank you! You can do it when you know how to use the drybrush technique...or you just get a drying retarder for acrylics and get going :-)))

[@Ya_Love]

@@brennerfineart - That's what I thought, since so far I only painted with Acrylics, you know, and I have managed to do some blending with it, and best yet not only a drying-retarder but to also mix water in with the color and to go over it when half-dry.
I have painted walls before, even with wall-paper which makes it so much harder due to the wall-paper absorbing moisture very quickly.
I have not pained in years on canvas! ... but mainly then when I used to live in the US, but now I am back in the land of 'restrictions' and not much space, and all too overpriced, while this society has broken my spirit, too ... unfortunately.
Looks, and sounds like you are German, just like myself? 😉

[@brennerfineart]

Thanks!!!

[@kellycaufield]

Hello. This is beautiful! I have a question though. I'm a beginner and am really struggling with blending. My paint dries way to fast. Even when I use retarder. Can you please offer me any tips? Thank you kindly.

[@brennerfineart]

Thank you Kelly :-))) Well...I guess you work with acrylics....after a couple of months after I started to paint (meanwhile decades ago) I switched to oils just because I hated that acrylics just are dry the moment you put them on. I have no experience with drying retarders used with acrylics, but perhaps you can just use a bit more of it to keep the paint from drying too quickly? Or you could switch to oils...they are really far easier to work with. And when you use just some purified linseed oil for thinning them down and clean your brushes with water and soap (that`s what I do since I started with the oils and I have a handful of brushes out of this time that STILL work brilliantly, so there is no need for harsh thinner or white spirit or turpentine) there are no health risks.

[@kellycaufield]

@@brennerfineart Thank you so much for your advice and sharing with me all of your great advice! I think I will look into oil painting! Thank you again! 😊

[@brennerfineart]

@@kellycaufield You`re welcome :-))) And yes, give the oils a chance - really a lot easier than acrylics :-)))

[@dogubeyler]

These water mixable oil colours have really foul odor. I suppose they're healthier than traditional oil colours but that odor is really heavy and chemical-like.

[@brennerfineart]

Which one do you use? I use the Winsor&Newton (link in the description box) and the only thing I smell is the odor of oil?!

[@dogubeyler]

@@brennerfineart I use them too. I've even sent an e-mail to W&N asking about it and they sent me safety data sheets in return. titanium white was made with safflower oil, its odor is fine but others (cadmium yellow m., cadmium red m., french ultramarine and burnt umber) smell like chemicals. I've seen some other people who smell the same odor.

[@brennerfineart]

@@dogubeyler I`m not sure what is in there actually - but I think as long as you don`t use any harsh medium to mix with the oils it can`t be that bad for your health. At least that`s what I hope ;-)))

[@luiart3609]

Subtitles in Spanish please to learn better

[@brennerfineart]

Sorry but I don`t speak any spanish. And the automatic translation service from UA-cam is also not really working that well and on top of that most of the viewers are speaking at least a little bit english, way more than spanish. They would be upset if I would switch to spanish subtitles. So - there is no way of making this happen unfortunately.
