[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Glad I could help! Thank you for your appreciation 🙏

[@sashagay308]

when I saw you used the marker for the sketch, I was worried that the marker would show through . It turned out beautiful . Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Yes it happens. Luckily I got one, which never showed through after applying paint over it. Thank you so much.

[@AzureSymbiote]

Thanks. That bit about the permanent marker is intriguing.

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Thank you so much. Using of permanent marker is a personal choice. You can use any paint for this.

[@five.creates]

do you just paint on the canvas or you first prime it?

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

I just start without any priming most it the time. But you can use prime for a different texture or smoothness..

[@uttamlimbu8449]

What solution do u use for wetness !! Since my acrylic paint tends to dry so fast !! 🤔

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Same here. But you can spray water mist on your palette to keep it moist. I do the same. Thank you for watching 😊

[@Sky-wj7jz]

Hello Sir. Do you mix colours on the same canvas? Because on pallete it dries out fast.. Is there anyway to prevent it?

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

I use colors on same canvas or on a separate piece of canvas vertically only to show it for my youtube videos. You can use any surface for your comfort. Just spray water to keep paint moist. Thank you so much for your comment😊🎨

[@javigahlyan5239]

Hello mentor, i want to ask why your pallette color are not drying soon as i faced this problem, can you suggest me for this

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

It's simple. Use water mist spray on your palette time to time. It will not dry soon. All the best 👍🎨

[@sreeramuluart]

Which brushes are you using for minute details?

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Mostly smaller nylon round brushes. Size 3, 4, 6are my favourite.

[@sreeramuluart]

@@DebojyotiBoruahArt I too using the small brushes but I am unable to mix the multiple colours at minute places. For example in miniature work I am unable to draw the eyes and small face features could you suggest me any idea.

[@Vri_ag7219]

Nice tutorial yet again 👌👌 What kind of lights do you use for painting? I often struggle with the lights in the evening. The colours turn out different. Do let me know which kind of light to buy. Thanks!

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Glad to know that you found my videos helpful 😊 Thank you so much. Try to use lights with 6000 to 8000 lumens for a small room. Fixing lights on the cilling above your art area is a good idea if you paint vertically. I use three bulbs. If you paint on table, use a ring light with 55 watts. It will be enough. Hope this will help you.

[@Vri_ag7219]

@@DebojyotiBoruahArt Thanks👍

[@Vri_ag7219]

@@DebojyotiBoruahArt Another question! How many watts are each bulb? Have you placed them in a line, next to each other on the ceiling? Are all of them cool white? This will help me a lot in having the correct lighting

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

@@Vri_ag7219 Watts doesn't matter. See how many lumens it has. Usually 20 watt LED will have 2000 lumens. So go for four bulb. 5000 - 5500k temperature is perfect for artwork studies but if not you may go for regular 6500k which are readily available. And cilling fitting is a good idea. Do not place it near your artwork. Maintain an angel of around 30° with your vertical canvas space from the light source above. Hope this will help you.

[@Vri_ag7219]

@@DebojyotiBoruahArt Thank you so much for this detailed explanation. It has definitely helped me. There is so much to learn from all your videos for beginners like me. Thanks once again 👍

[@user-xm6vw3vn3k]

Can Fevicryl Acrylic colours also be used for realistic portraits?
And is it a better idea to try acrylic portraits from the very start of using them?

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Of course, you can. But I will suggest you use professional artist-grade colors from any reputed brand. This will give you good feedback while painting. And acrylic is a very versatile medium to start with.

[@lav_en7577]

Can you plz tell me, what did you use to sketch the outlines ..
Coz everytime I use pencil to sketch it and after applying 1st layer of colours the sketch vanishes 😓

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

I mostly use black carbon paper to transfer my sketch. Or you can use a marker to protect the outline before applying colors. Thank you.
