Brushes (I use) and Acrylic Paint mixing in Kerala Mural Painting/Mural Painting for beginners

Brushes and paints are inevitable things for an artist. Mastering the correct use of these tools makes a touch into masterpiece. In mural painting brushes and paints play a pivotal role in creating a piece of art. Kerala Mural paintings are famous for their details and color grades. In order to paint a mural art you need to understand the specific color combinations and tones, used through out the picture. With the use of the correct brushes and colors a good mural art can be drawn.
This video deals with the brushes, I use, and paint (Acrylic based) mixes that are used in mural painting. Detailed information about the specific brushes, why they are used?, what are the color combinations?, Which color combination is used for detailing the painting etc are covered. The acrylic paints mentioned can be used on canvas. Watch till the end, because this video does not contains any type of lazy talks.
We, from learn murals, wish you the very best.
Disclaimer: Kerala Mural paintings are traditional art. The brushes and paint used for painting are derived completely from natural products. Even now many artists make their own brushes from specific grass and colors from naturally available materials. This video focuses only on brushes available on market and Acrylic based colors.

Why the water you are adding to colours is slightly muddy ? do you add anything else apart from water ?

For mixing paint I add water only. Nothing other than that. The water looks muddy because I used it to lightly wash my brush after mixing yellow.
