[@Fentylity]

Awesome

[@TwilightFlip]

I love the comparisons for the thickness. I found the pudding, soup, and gravy descriptions really helpful. Lmao thank you!

[@SyndiaArt]

hahaha! In hindsight I feel like the gravy was more of a yogurt consistency but hey ;o)

[@IMtheCODEpromocodes]

Same i would count it as ketchup but a little thicker?

[@joyjackson8249]

Yes it is

[@christiekiley1156]

So I watched this the other day... I used to think I painted a pretty good sky... then I had a look at a painting I'm working on that I wasn't so happy with, I just couldn't finish it... I realised the sky was definitely not well done. So with your tips I just thought I'd start all over again. The result after listening to your video makes me very happy. It does take some practice though! You make it look so simple... it was a real balance of finding the right amount of water, brush pressure indeed (I was pushing too hard), and washing the brush. I get lazy there and had to do those parts again. Thank you again for your tips. You're a good teacher.

[@SyndiaArt]

Hi Christie! I'm really glad it helped you! Acrylics are really really hard for blending... That's why I try to paint in a more expressive style most of the time. If I preferred a very realistic style (which I don't) I think I would have switched to oil paint by now... A tip that I didn't mention in the video, especially if you want to paint clouds and shadows, is to dilute the paint with matte medium instead of water... to create a translucent paint mix (the glazing technique). The blending process might be more vibrant in some cases with that technique. :o) Have a great rest of the week!

[@mychloeyeap3863]

@@SyndiaArt I just watched this and I found out I was using the wrong way to paint. After listening to your advice, I decided to paint for others as a Christmas Present. Merry Christmas!

[@starplayzreadbio373]

"There's no hard rules in art right? You can do whatever you want" My art teacher : NO! DO AS I SAY-

[@livattwell7960]

So true 😂

[@Fentylity]

Your art teacher is not a teacher!!

[@fourearwolf3315]

Same with my art teachers. They never let you do you and let you explore your style. They just want you to do EXACTLY what they do which makes art very very boring. I actually almost slept in one of those classes and I never sleep in classes in general. They really made me dislike art so I’m happy that I gave art another chance and look up videos for tips from really good KZbinrs like her!

[@malevolentsnow9867]

I understand where art teachers are coming from, but I also feel like A LOT of art “rules” should be seen as guidelines rather than unbendable.

[@banananator]

I liked painting when I was in school. I used to get disappointed in myself when I would get a c, which was most of the time. I thought it was really good. It took the fun out of it for me. I'm trying to get back into it's only been 15 years. 🙂

[@cherrae1887]

Me after watching it for 5th time : I'm motivated, I'm inspired, I'll do it

[@Fentylity]

Mee too

[@Me-yf1cn]

Your accent is so amazing it just sticks in my mind more😂

[@SyndiaArt]

haha! thanks!! :oD

[@4lifemusiclova]

I agree! I’m really concentrating on what she’s saying because her accent is gorgeous and I want to make sure I receive the information too ☺️

[@LionSPH]

I've always been intimidated by painting but I love to draw! I've finally decided to stop being scared and just go for it! I bought some supplies today and I'm gonna follow a tutorial tonight. Your channel is already a huge help! I love it:) thanks for the info

[@longjonhothan6963]

How did it go?

[@LionSPH]

@@longjonhothan6963 it was harder than I thought it would be haha. Painting is totally different from drawing. I've followed 2 tutorials and made 2 pieces just experimenting and doing whatever. The freestyle ones went a little better than the tutorial ones. None of them are perfect but I learn something every single time I pick up my paintbrush:)

[@longjonhothan6963]

@@LionSPH good to hear you're enjoying it. I tried painting for the first time yesterday using a tutorial. Just like you it didn't come out perfect but I'm learning and enjoying it

[@deborahrech7429]

Great video. I always get intimidated when I try to blend a sky. I’m never happy with the results. I can check all the boxes that you covered on what not to do, i.e. blending dark into light, not washing the brush, not mixing enough paint. Thank you for the practical tips and demonstrations of your beautiful work.

[@SyndiaArt]

I'm glad it helped! :o) Have a great weekend ahead!

[@Fentylity]

Yes its helpful

[@danielac8497]

Thank you for being so clear and showing the consistency examples. In some videos they give it for granted, but for begignners it isn't!

[@akidean185]

To be honest I like the "Don't" and "Do" equally. Different vibes different effects

You are right

[@Hannahleigh_]

That painting you did was incredibly beautiful

[@SyndiaArt]

Thank you for your kind words :o) Have a great week!

[@Kavkaz_kiddz]

2:43 ah yes... low quality of brush usually can't make equally smooth color on the canvas, that's the main problem when i want to painting something

[@Fentylity]

Yaaasss thats a big take away of this video

[@PixelionRules]

I prefer doing the blending part of the background first, because then it helps me to know what I need to change beforehand. Gradients are really hard to achieve, but I recommend thick paint with dampened brush, you first paint the lighter part and put a drop of the paint above/below it where you want the gradient. Then without cleaning the brush from the lighter part, start spreading the drop. This has helped me get some perfect gradients, especially while painting horizons.

[@mejiaart5363]

Great job, my 4 year old daughter has learned from your videos.

[@SyndiaArt]

Amazing, that is awesome! :o0

[@Fentylity]

Yes its equally informative for begginers as wel as experts

[@sharonng520]

Did my first canvas painting today and the blending colour gradient tip you gave worked so well! It turned out awesome, thanks

[@SyndiaArt]

Wonderful! I'm glad it helped :o) Have a great week.

[@MzDodrT]

I love the consistency example.....soup, pudding, gravy!!

[@Fentylity]

It could have been cappuccino and nutella

[@theanna1480]

You touched every single issue I have with blanding acrylics. You explained everything so well. I have a special love for gradients, color transitions from one color to another and I also love arylics but I have a hard time blanding them and I really want that perfect seemless transition. I'm so happy I found your channel. I'm subscribing 😊 thank you so much 🤗

[@artpotatomuskan9201]

This is honestly a very helpful video. Thanks for talking about the small things that need to be avoided. I always ended up messing up my art because of those.

[@SyndiaArt]

I'm so glad it helped! :o)

[@UIV7096]

Love this video.. creating a pattern for a family member. Using Acrylic light gray covering the entire canvas lightly not thick.. let it dry and paint a few bold streaks of titanium white over the gray. Making it very minimalist.. Question what acrylic paints are good for feathers stokes of the brush ? And what type of wide paint brush works? Ty love your channel

[@SyndiaArt]

Thank you! Wishing you a lovely weekend ahead :o)

[@hayleypura1181]

Thank you for giving examples for the visual learners like myself!

[@mikemartin8088]

Thank you so much for posting this video! I love to do land and seascapes but oils are just to messy to use in an apartment! I loved how you were able to get the reflections from the boat into the water! Wonderful! That's my biggest challenge is water. I learned some important things today. I'm recently retired and live on a fixed income now, and although I have not painted it 25 years, I feel it's something I can do from home and I have sold a few painings in the past. Maybe I can make a few $$$ once I get some practice in. I will be watching more of your videos!!!

Amazing! I'm happy it helped :o) Sending you loads of inspiration. Have a great weekend.

[@kalopsian3974]

[@heidirachaelpieterse5109]

Wow you are AMAZINGLY talented.

[@Jessica-ul8oc]

How do you sketch so easily? When I sketch, it takes so many attempts and I still don’t always get it right! It frustrates me so much that I end up taking a risk and just painting what I wanted and hoping that it comes out how i wanted it lol

[@SyndiaArt]

It looks faster on camera than in real life... I sketch pretty slowly and it gets really messy with tons of lines I don't want :o)

[@snowfoxx_85]
