Awesome thank you

Did you use white paint for the blur background

Good info! Thank you

Hi....why did you stop making videos?

I don't know how you did it ! The problem is acrylic dries on canvas so quickly, there won't be enough time to blend. Once I used watercolour or gouache for acrylic background, it turned out ok.

Beautiful!! Could you do a video explaining how to paint the flowers and dog, as well?

Thx, great 👍

I love this. Thanks. Its still beautiful 😮👏👏👏

Wow! Great video. Thanks❤

Use paint retardant and you can blend till the cows come home. There are a MILLION of them on the market, thick gel, thin gel, iridescent, glossy, matte, floetrol (a small amount, not as much they use to pour)

thanks for the tip!

Hello there! …question what kind of white pencil are you using? Please reply if you can . Thx. 🤗🤗🤗🤗

Very helpful!!

Lovely and easy!

Very helpful thanks

The first layer was almost already nice

You are SO much more talented than you think. I just found your channel today & am very grateful because you showed me how to correct a problem I've been doing with blurry background. Thank you!

makeup brushes work the best!

This helped tremendously! Can't wait to try this!

Ive used makeup brushes a long time, they work so much better

Your a sweet lady❤ thank you for helping that little bird. Wish you could have finished the doggie but I know life happens 😂 and we don't always get to do what we would like. Enjoy your videos though. Thank you for aharing

Add some water to blend. Keep adding colours is a waste

Shout out from a fellow Kentuckian artist. Thanks for the tips. :)

Are you dipping your brush in water at all during this

Yes ; getting to know this technique is awesome .Gets to a more advanced stage and adds a lot for your painting .Im working on a side of 🌳 with leaves and a bird .

Where can I watch the rest of the video where you paint the doggy?

Wonderful - I’m looking for the 3rd part where you show how you painted the doggy. Can you please let me know where it is located? Thank you

Beautiful

Your English is good, no need to apologize.

It's awesome idea to use make up brush as mop or blending brush but how to clean that brush post use plz tell that

Amazing tutorial. Keep up. ❤❤❤

Ha,ha,ha.....that made me laugh with you. We all do that!

Hey Helion,don't apologize for your second language. Who cares?. It's what you are presenting that is important,and,that is superb.

Beautifully done. This is just what I need for an animal portrait background. Even your choice of color in this video, suits what I am trying to do. Thank you for NOT doing time lapse,which is always distracting. Listening to you describe what you are doing is excellent. Great tutorial.

The bird turned out to be a female house finch. Her name is Summer. She finally learned how to find food herself. She also learned how to fly up and down with so much energy. I checked weather forecast and scheduled a day to send her back to nature. Three days before letting her go, two cables guys came for service and happened to keep our office door open for too long. She flew out into heavy storm. I was heart broken. I was going to let her go on the first sunny day after the storms. About a month later, a bird, just looking like Summer, came into a room here, then stayed with me in the kitchen at the Inn for a few hours. She wanted to go out so I brought her out. She flew up high to an oak tree in our front yard. I don't know for sure if she was Summer. I want to believe she is doing well because she learned very well how to find her own foods and how to fly up and down. I miss her very much.

I ruined a make up brush and a whole canvas and I am sad to say this didn't work for me...

Thankyou so much for this tutorial. Was badly searching for one.
