Blending Acrylic Paint: Beginners Who Know This BLEND 10X BETTER!!

Hello Painters!
Today we'll be going over the things that are not often mentioned, but are massively important to blending acrylic paint. We'll dive in and go over the top things that I think beginners overlook, but will make the most impact on their painting. These things are simple and easy to do and will make blending so much easier and more enjoyable. Beginner painters often give up painting altogether because blending is so tough and frustrating, but that really doesn't have to be the case. Often the things that they need to know are hard to find. If you don't know what questions to ask, how can you know the answer, right? This video aims to help all beginner acrylic painters with their blending and painting in general. Plus, stay tuned to the end of the video, where I share tips that I picked up over the years and really helped me as a beginner.
Don't let Acrylic blending stop you from creating some fantastic artwork, just make a few small changes and see a huge difference.

useful tips, thank you! at the moment I simply can't even afford Liquitex Basics.. They are only available online and then I need to pay shipping costs too... I'm using Pebeo Studio Acrylics or Amsterdam Standard series. They blend fairly well when a bit of water is used, or a retarder.... I also keep a little bottle to spray the canvas with, before I start blending....
