side note but that mug is really pretty 🥰

Excellent advice. A professional artist once told me, regarding using enough paint, to "Paint like you're rich!" The only wasted supplies are the ones you don't allow yourself to use. Thanks, Katie. The new mic is adorable!

What do you use with the water mixable oils? I heard some ppl say you can thin them down a bit with water while other ppl say you still have to use thinners and not water. What did you use here for this painting, or do you not use anything to thin them?

Thank you for these tips, and I agree with all you say, and I underline the idea of Brushes: Flats, Filberts, Rounds synthetic brushes for Acrylics, normally the sizes 6/8/10. Rigger brushes for some small details. Acrylic Paints, I learned my lesson, I only use Opaque Paints, never transparents. I had the hardest time as a beginner getting things to look good because I was using Acrylic Paints that were not Opaque.

Hey Katie🥰 Ive always wondered about this.. I come from the world of oil paint and Im more and more drawn to mixed media, starting with acrylics and collage, then help the oil by creating a surface using clear gesso (given that oil sticks to acrylics by seeping into pores, I imagine that various mediums as well as water reduces the healghy pores in an acrylic film). And the drips people use with acrylics, even the pouring action going on using water, have been very appealing to me. Maybe use high flow acrylics instead? Not quite the same as the feeling of spraying freely though:p

A few months ago I stopped worrying about getting paint on my hands. It's been so freeing.

Layers are definitely the way to go to add depth and interest! 😊

@ Katie Jobling art can you consider doing a video on roads and pathways. Mine always look like they’re floating. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong and I’ve tried looking it up so many times. Thank you for sharing your beautiful art and tips.

Which brushes do you suggest? Thanks 😊

Thank you so much, I have only been painting since COVID as I suspect have many others, and I get so much enjoyment from the whole process. There is a lot to learn, but so what, learning is fun. I have just within the last few weeks switched to heavy body paints and wow I can't tell you how much of a difference they make. I do find them hard to mix to generate the color I want, but thats also a learning curve to get over! Thank you for the great videos, and that mic is very good, thank you from Canada.

Excellent!! Great !!

Wow so early. Wonderful new mic

Hello from Oregon. I’m planning to try out the thick acrylics, I’ve watched some great demonstrations using them. Thanks for your video,

BEST ARTIST EVER like and SUBSCRIBE

Very helpful and easy to understand... Thank you my sister ❤

I have improved soo much in acrylic paintings by watching your tutorials I love videos like these js brings me so much joy😊

Katie, this is a BEAUTIFUL commission. It looks a bit more realistic than your usual works, but it’s mesmerizing nevertheless. Very nicely done. Thank you for the info on the isolation layer. I’d never heard of that before, but seems like a wise investment after all the time and effort you put into your artwork. I wonder if I might ask you a question or two about the business of art? I’ve followed your channel for ages and ages now. I’ve made my own art channel now and Etsy store and was wondering how you draw the line between recording for the channel and creating for yourself? I’m at the point where I feel I must record everything I paint. Clearly, you’re not. Did you ever face this issue? Creativity is such a delicate balance. How did you create boundaries for your creativity and your business? Thanks in advance! ❤, your fan from ages ago, Pam in Texas😊

I love your work I have been following you a long ago

Hello Katie, I’m your student in the "Painting with Confidence" course. In December, I painted on a wooden surface for the first time. Before painting it with acrylics, I applied a mixture of acrylic varnish and water (1:1) and coated it three times with gesso. However, the surface was still very absorbent. What can I do better? At home, I also have: wood glue (Ponal) and acrylic medium gel.

I can't believe it didn't turn green when you added the yellow. Was your blue dried already?

Thanks for this video! How long you wait till color dry (14:54 min.) to continue to paint?

I love seeing what other artists have bought 😍, I can't wait to see your new artwork on these supports 😊!

Excellent, thank you!

I have been so lost since suffering a stroke in my spine and becoming disabled. No one ever thinks that in the blink of an eye,their life can change for forever from what it once was. Although I have learned to walk again, excessive activity is extremely painful & difficult for me now. Honestly, I had just felt emotionally lifeless with no direction or motivation. However,after stumbling upon some acrylic painting videos, I quickly became mesmerized with acrylic painting. Thanks to some beautifully talented artists such as yourself, I am slowly finding my way back to the surface of life again after discovering something so relaxing and calming to focus on and indulge myself in. Surprisingly, as it turns out, I have somewhat of a natural talent for it. I now wake up looking forward to each new day and thinking about what I am going learn to paint for that day. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing gift and talent with the rest of us out here. You, sweet lady, are truely a God send. You are spiritually touching and helping more people than you may ever realize. You have such a lovely talent. I look forward to many more of your "how to" tutorials. God bless! 💝 ❤❤❤❤❤

Gorgeous!

Awesome tips

Very beautiful! But you made s-o many strokes that makes impossible for me to follow; have no painting class, I am just an amator that paints for fun. 😊 S-o i guess o will Take your advise and paint the way i see The Rose. 😁

Planning a valentines party for my local nursing home and will try this with the residents. I think it will work well for those of varying finemotor skill ability and they will have fun.

My style is the same as yours. I just love it but get frustrated bec I want to paint similar to you but when I try it doesn’t look good. Ugh I know it will come in time but it’s frustrating. I love every painting I’ve seen of yours. It inspires me to keep going

I’m new to acrylics (few months). When I try painting it becomes muddy and weird. Do you wait for each layer to dry before adding another layer?

جميل❤

Your creation is beautiful.
