It's interesting what you say about watercolours and oils at the beginning because that is such an arty perspective. To a regular person who is well into adulthood and takes up painting for whatever reason, acrylics are going to be far more in line with what I think they'd expect from paint. Most people's experience of paint starts with poster paints at school, might include something kind of modelling paint perhaps and maybe woodstains or fence paints, will almost certainly include interior painting and decorating with vinyl matt or silk emulsion, whatever they're called. Those kinds of paints are far more similar to acrylics than to watercolours or oils. It's only people with an arty background who find acrylics weird or outrageously fast drying. To everyone else acrylics are normal and oil paints especially weird! Some artists will bleat on about acrylic's treacherously fast drying times as if that's such an issue. I've been painting for two years now with acrylics and have never found myself thinking "Oh, I wish this paint would dry more slowly!"

It really does depend considerably on what paints you start with, but the lesson needs to cover things that people who start with other media can also understand

First off thank you so much for this video! I've been watching a lot of old Bob Ross episodes that I didn't get a chance to watch as a kid, but my current project is on clay, which calls for an acrylic paint, which leads me to a layering which is nothing like Bob's wet on wet technique. So this was super helpful! I don't think I'll have nearly as much problem layering as I thought I would. but I feel like reflections might be more of a challenge.

Great video. However, the quality of acrylic paint can make a huge difference. Use artist quality where possible (not the student stuff)because has a much higher percentage of pigment than student paint. You are using Golden which is favoured by many professional artists...but it’s pretty expensive, even compared to Windsor and Newton artist paints (my preference). W&N has a 30 min working time (on the pallet) and doesn’t darken when it dries (unlike most other acrylic paints). The Golden Open paints are painfully expensive in the UK.

Totally agree, it's rare to have someone back me up in the comments regarding the need for quality paints. Interestingly in this video I wasn’t exclusively using Golden. The red was an M. Graham and my yellow is a Utrecht, both artist grade paints.

Question; do you need to wait for one layer to dry before adding paint in top? Also do you varnish each layer before adding additional paint thank you
@cinderblockstudios
@cinderblockstudios 2 жыл бұрын
You don't have to wait, but in the mid-drying stage you do run the risk of ripping up the semi-dry paint with a new layer. Also varnishing of any kind is a FINISHING coat to a painting, it should never be applied before you're finished.

For acrylics you really don't have a lot of time regardless. If I need to extend it I'm usually mixing with my Golden OPENs at a 50/50 ratio to the regular paint. Using a lower viscosity paint like a soft body can also work, but the coverage will be considerably different than what I show in the video

On the layering, you are working fast so the paint is still wet. Presumably the technique should still work if you allowed each layer to dry before going to the next?

I've venturing to guess you're referring to clean lines with a brush? A paint a bit thinner than heavy body should help, but it likely won't be perfect.

@cinderblockstudios
@cinderblockstudios 5 ай бұрын
There's very little need for big brushes while painting. Smaller brushes give you a lot more control. Also the size of the piece doesn't require such a large brush. Also what do you mean by "floating medium"? I've never heard of that.

It's a common misconception that water shouldn't be used for thinning paint. Thinning with water is perfectly fine and in many senarios required. A liquid medium will also increase transparency beyond what water does naturally
