So glad I watched this. That short goose painting process was such an eye opener. The drying speed becomes a plus instead of a minus!!

I have a bum organ and cant work. Sometimes I go hungry to buy art supplies. I have 2000 paintings. Sometimes I lay in bed at night and think, "what if I really suck?"

@kimsfavouritesThis guy knows good brands. Amazing!
@msyA2690I don't how they do it but mostly blend it😢
@bhawnakaimwal3873i only use watercolour and gouache but i got a canvas and have to learn acrylic lol
@MoonlightTeas🙏🏻
@BeaHappiExcellent video ☺️ thank you 🙏
@wonkywhisker1036But I need paint that lasts for decades. Which ones do?
@KukkeladaExcellent explanation, to the point and with examples. Great presentation.
@flybeep1661thank you so much 🤩
@RedTooth-06I’m an oil painter who paints in thin layers. I’ve been thinking of trying acrylics since they go dry more quickly and you’ve convinced me to try it. I’m just concerned about mixing the same colors each time I paint. With oil paint I can premix a ton of colors, put my palette in a Masterson’s sta-wet palette box, stick it in the freezer, and my paint will last for weeks that way.
@SkyeSoleilThank you that was very interesting, will be watching more 😊
@SueK-d8qI’m an abstract painter. Desperate to give you a 2” wide brush 😅 Some good tips. Thanks
@SaSk-v6gThank you for this tutorialll, you explained everything so clearly!
@mariacelestearrietasolis3714I've learned these tips as the years have gone by. However, the tip to keep the acrylic paint wet longer by placing the paint in the tray...hat's that's new to me. I just recently learned it.
@rebeccagutierrez1960I use a mirror I found outside and a spray bottle of water instead of a stay-wet pallet. If I want to stop, I cover it with a plastic box. Even allows me to create very flexible consistencies.
@ohimi_artsCheers 😊
@TheUglyTortoiseOh my goodness that stay wet pallete or whatever it is called I was sitting here leaning forward mouth agape… blew my mind. I have a refrigerator in my living room, which is my studio, and I put my stuff in there lol. Oh my gosh, I need one of those so badly.
@girlsofsummerToo much talking. There's other things to do
@wesdale1753what brand you like most ?
@kalamedikkalamedik9503Very good advice. However, how fast acrylic paint dries depends on where you live. I am in the American Southwest where the air is very dry. I have to use a wet palette to keep my paints workable.
@CB-vg1wqLoved the video. Finally a video that actually teaches something and straight to the point
@nadiaalshemkhawi3013Also be prepared before you start. Plan out what your painting and prepare the paint on the canvas.
@prOGamer-ul5zcThanks this was helpful !
@emilypearson2009I’ve been watercolor for years and I am so frustrated and want to try acrylic painting.
@Carolina-GrlThank you for these tips and saying that it's ok to take your time when it comes to painting. I've been told that if I want to make a living out of my art then I need to get faster at painting. I've been told that painting and doing art in general isn't a career but a hobby. Basically, a lot of people saying a lot of things that make it hard to even pick up the brush. And then I spiral thinking what I am even good for, I have no skills that I enjoy making a living, yada yada yada. I'm nowhere near your level of expertise but I do know that if I keep practicing and doing research, I will one day. Hearing you say that you don't need to rush really put things into perspective for me. I don't need to act like a machine and produce art at a fast pace. It's ok to make mistakes and it takes time to develop skills as well as putting your name out there to be discovered. For now, I think I will just make art to make art because it's something I've always enjoyed doing.
@5timesdying“It’s okay to be slow” buddy I have an assignment due😭
@wiliamargThank you
@Manasi_kodithuwakkuThank you so much for your sharing 😊
@ginseeyeo7029I dislike using acrylics...they don't blend the way I want them too but you have inspired me to give it another go. I really love your work
@LinkousArts🎨🎨🎨
@nik.kinetikentertainmentReally good advice, really good positive motivation from your video. Shame I have got the funds to support you but hope others do. Thank you for sharing your tips. 😊
@greenshifuWhat a marvelous thing to discover the world has honest, unselfish people like you. I enjoyed your white fur video and plan to get every video you make. Thanks.
@capullitodem1I came to this video because I was having trouble with details
@WoodflooralchemistGenuinely my favourite part of painting is that I’m so bad at it. There’s so much space to learn and grow, and accepting that is so freeing because experimenting is not scary anymore. Thanks for the video!
@katswithak7597Unpopular opinion but I like when a little white canvas shows throughout the painting. Modern art is so focused on perfection thanks to the proliferation of digital art, but a little white showing is a signal to me that the art was done by hand and by a human and without digital tools that make art easier to do. I personally don’t like pinpoint perfect art. It looks soulless.
@ij2426Thank you so much! You are so generous with your you tube advice… ❤
@Jan-k1cFloetrol can also be used to thin and extend working time! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! Great video 😊
@terryannsweeney4428Nice tips !! #TheantiSnitchClothing 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴
@SkarrssFOCENTVIDEOSI wish oil paints werent toxic, or a medium that needs venting.....id just stick with that.....sigh...water mixable oils here i come.
@DreamingArtistStudiosYou explained a lot better than most people do, and you were straight to the point with examples and actual footage, thank you
@angelor9211Please what you do with acrylics which darken after they dry? Than you.
