Hi Conny, I've been really enjoying all of your demos and have been following along feverishly! I want to know how you get such fluid stroked with that long-handled brush (using the red paint with fine lines)...every time I try to do that, the paint drags and I can never get one solid line/stroke...any suggestions would be fantastic! Maybe because the paint underneath isn't wet enough? I've tried using a thinner paint as well but I get grainy lines that catch on the grooves of the other paint and canvas...
First of all, thank you very much for the kind words regarding my painting style and videos. To get fluid brush strokes, I recommend using acrylic fluid. This is available from Golden. You won't get the same effect if you simply dilute your normal acrylic paint. I don't know if these lines are easier to draw on paper. I don't like painting on canvas, only on heavy satin acrylic paper. This is a very smooth paper with a weight of 640 g. Maybe that will help. If not, feel free to ask. Best wishes, Conny Here the Link: www.jacksonsart.com/fabriano-artistico-extra-white-hot-press-300lb-640gsm-22x30in-56x76cm-x1
@@ConnyLehmann Thank you so much for those suggestions! I will definitely be buying some more fluid acrylics and you caught me...I have actually been watering my paint down recently...😐 So I'm going to stop doing that! I really appreciate it!
