Every time I take a break from painting, when I come back to it I always watch this particular video (I’ve probably watched it about 4/5 times now). It’s super helpful just to remind myself of everything! Plus your art is beautiful and super inspiring!

Oh I’m so glad to hear that it’s useful!

Your style in this video is just killer, love it. I just picked up a set of Golden acrylics after working with basically craft paint and I'm dying at how delightful they are to use. Their quinacridone magenta is *gorgeous*

[@anitasmith7764]

I’m really wanting to do the same when I get the extra cash! I can only imagine. I LOVE some of my craft paints, but some are so thin it’s ridiculous! ($’s worth I guess) do you know of a good deal on the Golden or any other really good paints?

[@faithful4465]

This Christmas I actually got student quality artist acrylic paint, and I never painted ever, And I’m the type of artist that does a mix of everything! And I’m loving acrylic! So this tip video was so helpful! Thank you! And I LOVE YOUR FRICKIN ART!! Keep it up! 💕 😊

[@dalewilson4329]

I've never had any real training, so everything I do is from trial and error. I have been working from the lightest to the darkest, now I guess I'll try it the other way around. I also usually only use one or two brushes for a painting, large flat for big areas of color and a round brush for details and highlights. The round brush can have a nice little point or can hold a larger amount of color. Now I have two new things to try! Thanks for the tips

[@yasuminagunne9623]

Just finding this and I'm so glad you said dark to light is a good technique! I've always been told light to dark, but I always do dark to light :D Great video!

[@lifeismusicparnadonkers]

I love the pink backround

God you’re adorable! And your paintings are just... I don’t even have a word to describe them they’re beyond beautiful and mesmerizing. Can I marry you?

[@gravecollekshins5232]

Thank you so kindly for making a point to clear seal or varnish the beginning canvas it made my art work for me and not vice versa. You are beyond talented and really inspired me with this video alone. Great job Fr.

You,re paintings are always so coulorfull. I love them and i love that you,re colourfull pieces👍🏽🥰🎨👩‍🎨👋🏾😍

I’ve been thinking about starting to paint, I never did it, but now I feel like I need to step out of my comfort zone as an artist in order to expand my knowledge, and this really helps.

I’m going to have to submit my own artwork for a school I have an audition for and I needed all these. Thank you

I’m new to painting and pretty much don’t know aNYTHING about it, so this video really helped! A lot of other videos I found didn’t have the information I needed, so thank you for this video! :)

[@lilyraimey3499]

You look like a star. Your style is VERY similar to that of Melanie Martinez.💗

[@sea5205]

Lily Raimey not really her style is really unique and more extra-terrestrial, spacey themed than Melanie’s dollhouse concept

[@lilyraimey3499]

Seino Yeah, you should watch more of Melanie’s interviews.😂

[@su-anramos202]

so ive been painting for four years with acrylics and i just realized yesterday while doing a portrait that for some like me that works on canvas more often fabric paint is similar to acrylic although fabric paint glides and blends more easily compared to acrylics, looking forward for u and some people to try it, pretty much a life saver since my paints dry fast

[@PaintArena]

I'm also an Artist and will try your Tips in my Next Video Definietly...You are one of the best artist i've seen so far... Lots of Love from Pakistan

I keep coming back to this video as i go further with my painting studies. Thank you very much. It would be very helpful if you went deeper about the watering down tip and/or glazing techniques. There are few good videos about it on yt and none of them which i have found covers the super smooth effects you make on your amazing paintings. (Sorry about my English, im brazilian)
