I rarely sit through these videos, but can I just say that this woman is a fantastic teacher
💖💖
That is so true ✌
Agreed
Love the round blending night sky wow!
Cinnamon you have just made my day , I have truly missed seeing you and John so a big Thankyou for this presentation ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍
Thanks Cinnamon! Glazing is my favorite way to blend. When I first used that product , I thought it was a miracle in a bottle. I love it!
Excellent technique video that addresses the fact that everyones environment is different and blending without water is nearly impossible for some of us. I really love the night sky blending technique and the sponged-blended background. Fantastic video Cinnamon!
This is precisely what I needed to watch today. Thank you for the variety of blending methods and suggestions. Truly helpful. You rock!
Omg! Thank you for showing these awesome techniques. I’m not an artist but love playing with paints to relax. I have gotten frustrated in the past of not being able to blend some backgrounds and you just hit the nail on the head regarding the mistakes I’ve been making! You rock! I’m so glad I found your channel!
Nothing has been as helpful as this!!! I’ve designed greeting cards for years & am so excited to use your tools here! Thank you!!
As Always , you just make it so simply. You are a wonderful teacher, thank you for sharing this wonderful techniques with us.
Love your blending techniques - Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication!!
💕💕
Well stated. I'm so ready to get started now! I just found this channel and she is awesome!
Wow, what a great video! I’ve learned more about how to blend acrylics in this one video than I have in watching tons of other videos! You’re such a great teacher, thank you 🥰🥰🥰
thanks Cinnamon. of course I have seen all these blending methods over the last couple years but having them all together like this is so helpful and makes it so much easier to be able to decide on which method to use for any particular painting
I have taken many art classes over the years. You are so good with clear,detailed instructions , enthusiasm and encouragement ☺️ so glad I found you!
I’ve painted most of my life, but I still find that your beginner videos are incredibly helpful. Never had an art class but your videos seem like they’re probably better! Thank you!
THAT WAS GREAT..I NEEDED THAT A LOT..TY CINNAMON FOR HELPING US
I've only recently started learning to paint with oils. But I've been watching a ton of short acrylic speed paint videos. I always kept thinking to myself that I wouldn't want to paint with acrylics because it looked like the blending process was a pain. This video makes me want to give acrylics a try even more. Because I get frustrated when painting with oils how sometimes I just want to easily paint over a surface but have difficulty getting crisp or fine lines working on top of wet paint. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much!!!
I am a beginner to art, at age 67...
My mom began at age 40...
I have friends who are artists who have encouraged me to just have fun.
So I began taking acrylic art classes a couple of years ago.
My first teacher was acryllic impressionism... and it set me free from the idea that painting had to be perfect!
Thank you for sharing your painting techniques, they help me tremendously!
Art is to be enjoyable, an experience to be enjoyed.
YES so much so. 🌼🌼
Don't feel bad Margaret, I'm 69 and a beginner. Where are you taking painting classes at? I wish there were more offered here in Iowa.
@@janejohnson5488 you guys are so lucky you grew up in the 70s im only 17 but rather live in the 70s
I'm 27! And I would love to start as well! Xx
@@TheArtSherpa lossssse
Wow. You're really good at explaining the minutiae! That's exactly what I needed. You're the best!!
Thank you, this was so so helpful! Especially the 2 brush technique.
Hi Cinnamon, this video was so useful. I love acrylics so much and blending it's not always easy but all of these methods were awesome. My favourites are the sponge, of course, and the moon one. Thanks so much, Cinnamon!!! 💗💗💗
Great ideas on blending! That's so helpful for so many people!
Hi. I just wanted to say. On my journey of discovering myself. You have helped me sooooooo much. Thank you
Thank you so much Cinnamon for this wonderful and inspirational tutorial video. It's really helped me to use these different blending methods without fear in order to get a variety of effects and textures. Love all your videos.
Thank you, I really appreciate your teaching techniques. You make it so easy and simple for me to follow.
Thanks for this! I needed this. Will watch it more than once.
My jaw dropped after the dry brush blend method. That took it from a very nice gradient to full blown sunset! Thank you for showing so many tips, as well, I have always struggled with teachers showing only one method of getting to a desired result and it really helps me to learn as many ways to achieve something as possible because everyone is different thus everyone learns best differently! ❤
Edit!: now you're letting us know how to improve a more realistic sunset. You're wonderful for sharing all of this! Thank you so much!
Love the dry brush blending tip!!
What a great blending tutorial. I used 8 x 6 inch canvas sheets to do this. Now I have backgrounds for my next painting project. Thank you.
Cinnamon thank you for the different blending methods this was very interesting because I have trouble blending
Thank you so much. That was so informative! I loved it and learned so much! God bless you!
This is very helpful! Love the two brush blend!!! Thank you so much!💖
Thank you SO much for these helpful videos. I've been following you for a year now, as an absolute beginner, and wish I'd found this blending video sooner! I can't wait to try these techniques, especially the fun one with the sponge! Thanks for your knowledge, encouragement, and enthusiasm!!
Love every tip, that's usually my most frustrating thing, balling up when blending and clagging. Thank you! New Subbie
Thank you, this is so encouraging...I desperately want to learn but I am so nervous about not making my work look appealing that I don't even start...I now realize that it is also about enjoying the process and discovering what I can do...creating an impression of a mental image can be fun :-)
Thank you for that great information. I am an oil painter attempting to paint with acrylics. You have made my painting experience so much easier.
I just found you. I’m a beginner. You are an awesome teacher. You are beautiful and your personality is so contagious! Thank you for the inspiration and education. You bring fun and happy back to these difficult times.
Hey Mrs.Cinnamon I am a beginner and would love a vid explaining the different brushes their strengths and weaknesses and some of the best brushes for beginners.
Thank you and have a blessed Day/Night
Great idea
I enjoyed this. Good tips. Thank you. The sponge blending is my favorite. You can get a neat effect for a background by putting a three or four different colors just on the edges of a slightly damp sponge and then swirling. It works best if the colors are not touching each other for the first use. After that it doesn't matter that much. I've done a couple backgrounds that way.
thanks...just learning and leaving a lot of brush marks...
Thank You so much!! This video helped me in 1 area that was giving me a fit with blending! I appreciate your taking the time to help us Artists along!
👩🎨🖌🎨😁👍
THANK YOU....THANK YOU. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Random, buI have that exact same shark bowl. Love it. thanks, Cinnamon, I learned a lot from this video!
Hi Theartsherpa you are one of my favorite teachers. I am also a new painter and is 64 years old. Love every thing you have showed today. Love your work. Thanks for your time.
Clear and concise as usual. Thanks Marian
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing that. It helps me a lot! Thank you so much, Cinnamon ❤🙏🏻 I send you a big hug. 🤗💞
Brilliant video.❤️ (I’m alone , in my studio, having veggie soup.......watching you dear Sherpa. I was really focused on your blending demo. When My late husband said ‘You’re watching paint dry’. My imagination? Probably, sure, have to smile, he was always so witty. thank you for the tutorial and you’re great company. Smiles
You sure it wasn't Jesus talking to you? Out of the blue, gone in a flash, but you heard every word of it? Definitely Jesus.
Definitely your late husband. How cute. 💙🙏🏼
Christine Baker 🙄just couldn’t let her be.
Typical Christian BS. Get over your self!
Definitely hubby! ❤
@@christinebaker7051 Typical! Jesus couldn't give a flying rats if she was watching paint dry!
These techniques helped me so much! I was struggling with blending and you helped me a lot! Thank youuu
You are most welcome.🌻🌻
I work mostly in oil and watercolor. I occasionally wander into acrylic and find it so hard to work with. This was really helpful! Thank you.
One of your best tutorials so far -- very specific and easy to understand. Thank yu very much. Love and regards to yourself and yur whole family.
Hi Cinnamon, this is wonderful not only for beginners but for seasoned artists who need a refresher on blending! I am wondering what you think about using soft makeup brushes for blending?
Thanks for the tips teacher
I’ve got to admit I’m cheep lol. I like glaze for its ability to add depth to water. But other then that just dry brushing works best for me. I like that I can very softly and slowly add depth or highlights in anything by dry brushing.
So fantastic! Thank you for showing me all these different methods. Fun!
The two brush blending method is good to see. Nice affect. Thank you.
The sun and the sponge ones I am going to try this week, I've got a moon to paint.
I've just realized that I was doing everything right, BUT I wasn't cleaning off the brush so often... :)
That is cool you found your road bump and can now clear it. Happy blending
Thanks..to..share..such..a..useful..TIPS..THANKS
Love the glaze effects!
Thank you art sherpa, for this very useful video for all acrylic artists.
Thanks Sherpa! This is the very thing I'm trying to figure out so I can do a pic based upon Bob Ross' Crimson Tide tutorial. I need a way to put Alizerin red and Phtalo Blue down on black gesso that keeps them blendable so I can make sunset clouds over a beach scene.
Sooooooooooo..Awesome Bless U for all U share Ur Sooooooooooo,,,sweet💕💗💖❣️
Love you, Cinnamon! You are such a positive influence! I often think about your old video on making 100 paintings. It was so spot on. Thank you for shining your light over the world! Good day. :)
🖤🖤🖤
Now, this was really helpful and explained in good ways. The last messy sponge method is the very first I tried out to make some mist in the greens effects. Bless you!
Thank you I'm gonna use some of these so I can make beautiful paintings to sell at my family store
Update: started one two days ago and finished at like 6:30 yesterday morning gotta work out when I can paint so it doesn't interfere with school
Good luck and much Success to you
@@TheArtSherpa thank you
is there a way to paint over something and do blending if the painting dried and it was not blended correctly?
Yes, just paint over with the original color blend and redo it. That is the beauty of acrylic, you can paint over it and redo.💜💜
Such a great video! I really needed the refresher, it seems like after a while, I forget there are so many ways to do things. I’ve been finding lately the sponge method is my favourite for small ATC paintings. The itty bitty pouncers really help me get a nice blend. Thankyou so much!
Very good blending tutorial, nicely organized. Just beginning here at age 70. Many thanks.
i never had the courage to start a acrilic paint without medeums...its possible
Yes it is ! 💔💔
Adding so much water to heavy body paint,
can really, effect the final result!
Adding too much water often makes artist/premium grade paint
look more like craft or student grade paint in the end.
It can look like a paint with varying or uneven pigment load,
or one with a higher amount of filler.
And that’s a shame, after paying top dollar.
Wouldn’t it be better,
to use a soft body acrylic-
if you want the paint to be thinner
(move more easily over the canvas or painting surface)?
I’m thinking heavy body acrylic paint-
is more fitting for impasto work, or where/when
you need the paint to hold shape, be stiffer.
You actually want that lower viscosity.
I’m thinking that if you have to add water, **to get it to move the way you want**,
it’s the wrong paint.
However, if the paint is **drying too fast**, then using a tiny amount of water (or medium) can help.
So adding water regularly to thin =
wrong paint.
(Adding water regularly to cream or
half and half = wrong dairy. It just means what you actually want is whole, 2%, 1%, etc.)
The stiffer heavy body paint definitely has it’s occasions,
but it seems like for a lot of general paintings/usage,
soft body or more fluid forms might work better for many common paintings,
because usually nothing is added to change the consistency (unless for purposefulful effect such as a glaze, etc.),
thus the paint is being used, as designed.
Choosing the best fitting paint in this respect,
could also broaden the choices of brushes to use.
Wiith heavy body paint,
brush choices are (best) limited to
firm, or extra firm.
If you don’t use the firm/firmest brushes w/hb,
then you have to use ..even more water,
making it worse again.
Soft/er brushes can create subtlety different effects,
and allow different degrees of control of the paint;
a different painting experience.
The (most likely) limitation with brushes-that more than half of all brushes
are best not used w/hb paint
seems a shame for those who use it mostly or only.
Maybe especially for beginning artists,
but any artists really.
It’s a limitation that’s probably unnecessary,
in that it doesn’t apply to the other paints.
Would it sometimes,
or even often/generally
(depending on the artist and project)
be better to choose a soft body acrylic,
or even a fluid acrylic in the first place?
If you are not planning to change up techniques where heavy body is nessisary I would think it could be. PS this was a thoroughly thought out and thoughtful comment !! Thank you
I'm thinking you are a show off!! this site is for beginners not 'artists like you who obviously know it all already' some of us are happy to learn the basics. you should have your own UA-cam site instead of taking over someone else's......Happy Painting
Jenny C giving useful, correct information and advice is now being a show off? Give me a break.
Thanks for the tips. Ignore the nark!
Love the soft dry brush technique, thank you!
Wonderful teaching video, it’s helped so much in understanding transitioning! Thank You so much ☺️
Wow!!!! What an awesome tutorial on blending!!!! I LOVE the sunset blend colors!!!! Gorgeous background for creating silhouettes on!!!! Reminded me of painting a scene with catus 🏜
You are just the best!! This is so easy to understand and I love the examples you do with it. Thanks, I have been looking for quite a while to get some clarity on how to do this!!
Cinnamon! You are the answer to my prayers girl! I have been struggling trying to find a way to soften the edges on my paintings and you just help me so much just now with what to do! I will definitely be using some of these applications. You are a blessing! May God bless you and John and your sweet kiddos!
I am so glad this helped
Dear Sherpa, thank you very much for such great tips, so many things are clear now!
