Hey Greg, just wanted to tell you THANKS for the recommendation for the rechargeable airbrush sprayer. TEMU has a nice green one for 21$! I didn't even realize such a critter even existed!---No noisy air compressor nor aggravating lengthy hose to work around. A huge bonus to my work! Thanks Tons!🤠👍 (edit: Wouldn't mind seeing you do a tutorial on how you mix your non airbrush acrylic paint for different artistic effects)

You treated my OCD with kindness. As I watched the video I kept thinking to myself, “Okay I still see a harsh demarcation line between the yellow and what has become orange. Blend a little more here.” And it’s as we were communicating across space and time, because there you went! Absolutely beautiful! Probably not much of a compliment coming from me as I’m not even an artist. But my eyes are happy. 😂 Thank you, thank you!
An excellent lesson in blending paint. But in addition what brush to choose. And the demonstration will allow beginner to more advance students or artists Thank you very much.
Never mind about the brush dear 😅. I realise now I'd never been using enough paint and it was too dry to get that perfect effect ❤This is very very helpful, many thanks. What type of brush is that?
Interesting way of doing a piece of art! I ❤it n tks for sharing with us n keep up your amazing work and god bless u with healthy n joy in your life🎉❤😊
I'm surprised by how much water is used. Word on the street is that too much water may affect the paint binding, so I have always mixed some medium plus water (I do see your opinion in the video that the amount of water you use doesn't affect the binding).
That anti-water lie came from some UA-cam video some lady made. She blocked all comments so that people can’t correct her. You can literally use acrylic as a watercolor and the paint will work just fine. You can thin, glaze etc acrylics using water only and it will be JUST FINE
Anyone ever thought of using what's called a beauty blender sponge in situations like this? I've found that they can cut the blending time way down. I am still working on the technique but it seems promising.
Ingenious! Price wise it's terrific, but😅 it's a gamble. I'll tell you why. The metal part that cramps the bristles is not made to be soaked in water. Be very careful. It's usually a one hit wonder. You don't want loose bristles stuck to your art work. Too bad everything has been over priced these days. There are certain art brushes that are a hundred dollars or more!
I always think my canvas is going to end up the same colour all over when I try to do this. I also had thought my paints weren’t thick enough, but now I will try adding water!
Beautiful but clearly I need to up my brush game😂 I’ve never seen so much water used with acrylics. I’ve always heard too much water breaks them down but ig that’s what’s needed first a good blend. Great video thanks❤
Hi Mr Lowman 😊 only just seen your really good blending video , an area I struggle with being a newbie painter . Do you have a similar tutorial showing the blending technique , but using a larger canvas , say 40 x 50 cms and how to keep the paint wet on a larger canvas . It's just that it is easier for me to see on a larger canvas , but can not keep the paint wet . Thanks very much 😊
Very nice and beautiful and well done. In my painting, the sun is about half an inch, how i blend the sun that looks better? or how i can blend a small area in a painting? Thanks.
To blend small you can use a smaller brush like a round or filbert, get the bristles just wet enough to break up the paint, do circles on the color changes, and continuously wipe the bristles off when they fill w/ paint. Skip the last step and don't go over the area with a dry brush to avoid smearing/streaking. You can blend pretty much anything doing this, even smooth skin tones - ua-cam.com/video/tD3XEGaQwwg/v-deo.html
Also folks remember gently while blender don’t push down on your brush. Gently glide across your paint. That was my down falls many many years ago. Happy painting ., it definitely is a stress reliever.
Something that has become very useful to me is a spray bottle that is mostly water, with a few drizzles of vegetable glycerin, and about 1/4 full of arcylic paint thinner medium. The liquid is transparently milky white. I can mist it over my palette, I spray it directly into cups, sometimes on to my brush, and rarely, I spray my whole canvas with it. This stops the "dusty" effect when I use too much water on my acrylic paint without me noticing. It keeps the pigments bound, extends the working time, is cheaper than using mediums directly, and somehow ends up working more smooth than water. I tend to do 100 glazes so overwatering arcylic could be a big problem for me. In fact, I would have made this gradient by glazing, and it would have been very frustrating and taken longer. 🤔I should buy a soft large brush, because all my really big brushes are rather stiff and meant for latex wall paint
I would use airbrush medium or some medium. Stay away from the water. I had a painting flake off the canvas just by diluting with small amounts of water. (I was using high quality golden acrylics too.)

Good tip for beginners
Unless you are mixing up large cups of paint suggest to new painters to use small plastic cups

Why do you not use "extender with your paint, just curious?"
Total newbie here...i clearly do not have enough brushes! STUNNING!
Little tip, cheap makeup brushes are Amazing for blending. The foundation ones work great.
Thank you for this! @@bostonbutterfly4473
I was not expecting him to get to 5 brushes 😂

@@TurnStyle72 lmao, that’s awesome 😆. Thanks for the tip!
I kept wondering when you were going to stop blending already but every time you did it got better and better. Thank you for that beautiful lesson 🥰✌️

A beautiful comment. Sharing the same sentiments here! ✌🏽
Me too.❤
I was also thinking…. But look your missing that bit etc…. And then it all came so beautifully smooth .. lovely 🌅👍

So simple but so stunning what looks just like a big beautiful ball and sunshine is absolutely hypnotic!
You are memorizing my thoughts as I watch your video on this topic. Absolutely beautiful and inspiring. Thank you
Thank you for this tutorial as I find this the hardest to do without muddying the colours.👍🏻
Absolutely beautiful!
The patience and hard work behind the change of brushes paid off.
Thank you for sharing this technic!
The water was everything to me, who knew?! And the brushes! Thank you for this. 😍
All the hard work you put into this piece really shows🎉
Water? Who knew! And I too need those larger brushes. Thanks for the lightbulb moment.
Thank you for th tutorial. It was plain and simple to follow.
An excellent lesson in blending paint. But in addition what brush to choose. And the demonstration will allow beginner to more advance students or artists Thank you very much.
I use a small spray (mist) bottle and keep the canvas wet... Oh, and "PLENTY" of Blender Brushes!!!
The music is fantastic and so is the technique! Thank you for the training!
When i think it is blended perfect you keep going and going!
Thank you for this tutorial. I really needed to learn this.
You are an amazing artist and for me a great teacher! Thank you!!!
Never mind about the brush dear 😅. I realise now I'd never been using enough paint and it was too dry to get that perfect effect ❤This is very very helpful, many thanks. What type of brush is that?
Glad that it helped and I added the paint with a mop brush and blended it all out with dry wash brushes
It looks so soothing...
Wowwww, it turned so smooth. It teaches patience ❤
Excelente técnica felicidades

Great tutorial. This came out amazing. Can't wait to try.
So easy and so beautiful 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Have had challenges blending..... thanks for these tips.❤❤❤
It’s easy to overcomplicate this process, thank you!

Exactly. What is the problem to people to just use medium?

Too much water will affect the integrity of the paint though😢
...and so we go around in little circles...
great tutorial. Thank you so very much

Yes, they work well!
Wow, I can't wait to try thx for the tip. So you just blot like you'd do in your face?
@@hydraflora1342 I use more of a circular rubbing motion. Make sure the blender is wet and squeezed out.
