    Most of the tubes that are sealed usually you turn the cap round and press it into it and it makes the hole

    Thank you so much for this teaching. I am learning to paint using acrylics. I took up art when I became very sick and disabled a few years ago. Art has been I had a natural gifting in, however I need proper teaching. You have explained so much in this amazing video which basically answered many of the questions I needed answers to. The way you explained values is going to completely change the way I approach painting. I need to remember to take regular breaks and look at the painting from a distance. Because I am guilty of getting fixated on one thing and forgetting the bigger picture. I always take photos of my paintings at various stages because it really shows the truth, whereas my eyes often trick me into thinking it's better than it really actually is. You said so many things. There's a lot to unpack. Another thing I struggle with is proportion and angles. But I will get there. I love hyper realistic art. I want to learn to paint realistic paintings. I love how you painted the eyes. I laughed when you mentioned about the colour of the iris, not to paint it white or the eyes end up looking like headlights! Loved that! 😂I must remember to put my phone on silent nothing worse than having your ears blown apart! 😱Awesome painting and tutorial. Easy to follow and yeah just brilliant🎨✨

    He just skipped the most important parts for the beginners. Before Step 5, everyone would love to know how and what technique should you use in doing those eyes, nose, and mouth. If time is your concern, a little help from time-lapse would do the job. Nevertheless, we thank you :)

I have tons of paint but purchased this (link was not working in description section) none - the- less used your code and it worked on Amazon. New subbie now. Thank you for this. So well done! Can't believe it's in acrylic looks like oil, but of course its all in your technique, talent and . I'm new to painting only 2 years so far. At a very old age and just literally self taught for the love of art. This is so helpful. 🙏😊

Money in general is a good thing to pray for....sell your work by going through the neighborhood , this is what I do.. and also praying for work from people to paint for them , a steady stream of art work is what I ask for....it actually happens and I am grateful...I use my living room for an art studio and work with photos , not live people...the more you paint the better your paintings will be...

      Pannam I started with acrylics and I’m terrified of oils! I know my painting style would be so well suited with oils and I immediately fell in love with the texture and luminosity of the colors when I tried them the first time. But every time I try painting with them I get so overwhelmed bc I have no idea what I’m doing that I end up putting them away. I watch videos but I really need somebody I can go to with questions and advice. The chemicals and drying times and additives are overwhelming if you don’t have a mentor.

    Usually if a container has a foil seal across the top then the opposite side of the cap has a molded point inside it so that you can flip the cap over press it to the aluminum foil and it opens it for you. No need for a utensil.

    You don't need a pointed object to break the seal, turn the lid over and screw it on the paint, it has a built-in seal breaker.

    I think if you turn the lids upside down, there is a puncture needle in the cap.
