I just love the way you make red, orange and yellow blend together excellent. Also, I wanted to say thank you for sharing your work. It makes people like me who are still trying to figure out how to use acrylic paints the right way & what kind of painting you can do. So, from me. I say " thankyou ". ☺

Awesome painting. If you wouldn't mind, please list the colors you used. I love the effect and want to try it. I';m very new to painting so I'm not ready to experiment on colors yet. Thanks.

[@remediosalmohalla1279]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@lizmichattidrei1580]

Wonderful colours! ❤ I wish you would tell us which ones youre using. 😉

[@sweetsusan146]

What kind of tape can i use on my art without it pulling off the paint on my painting? Thank you

[@flaviosequeira4481]

MUITO BONITO SEU TRABALHO .OK

[@acsingleton1]

Beautiful! Is your brush on the drier side when adding the black? Or does that not matter?

[@TA-ui9ku]

How long do you wait before applying the tape? Do you apply it on wet paint?

[@GauriSharmaArtFood]

Heyy all that was so good n so satisfying 😍 but I am not getting the effect which u gave with water and paper can someone plz provide me help for it?

[@MG-bg3xw]

This could use a bit of subtitle direction. For instance, as a complete beginner I have no idea what I am supposed to do. For instance: Is your brush wet or dry? Are you cleaning your brush or grabbing a brand new one? Is your cloth wet or dry?

[@muralswallart4168]

Great work ! #artdhananjay

[@giulio129]

Hi Ray, I'm trying the technique you show in your videos. I use the canvas on paper. I would like to better understand how to manage to recreate the effect you make after having wet the cloth and buffered with the cloth. Could you explain to me how I can create this effect? Do I have to wait for the first coat of color to dry, paint the second color, wet the canvas and then wipe the cloth? Thank you so much for your help.

[@RayGrimesAbstractArt]

Once you've painted a single layer spray the canvas, wait a little bit, then come back and dab the painting with the cloth. You can do this as many times as you wish to create many layers with similar effect.

[@giulio129]

Thanks a lot for the answer. One last thing, you can use this technique, of the cloth and dab, even on stretched canvas or is it better on a canvas panel? Would you get the same result?

[@pamgibbons2043]

👌

[@tabithalarkin-tabnado829]

Do you have music playing when you do the painting or do you add it in when you are editing your video?

[@omerdemirel1281]

👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@freedomvassigh3998]

Was that a wet cloth?? You painting was beautiful ♥️

[@mabelamaliaaltamira7891]

Me gusta mucho .Qque pulverizas agua o cólico a Porfa me das ese dato.Gracias.

[@hulya2812]

I'm blown away by this artwork! 💖No experience in painting but I want to learn abstract art. I have a question do I need to let the paint dry before putting on the tape?

[@bydp]

I'm not Ray Grimes, but yes. (I know you've learned the correct answer by now. This reply is for those who haven't. 😃)

[@intothegreenworld3218]

What r u using for making crystals like structure I think its water bt i don't understand

[@lewisgreen5188]

Really like your use of water to stiple the wet surface, use it too. when using tape I have used GAC 500 to seal for a crisp edge line….do you? This is a great composition Ray, Thanks for sharing with us. Been trying some of this in larger format. I look orward to each of your videos. Lewis

[@RayGrimesAbstractArt]

I haven't tried that. Good tip though. Thanks Lewis :)

[@ChingTheBarber1]

Ohhh la la

[@CR-lz5yx]

is the water that is sprayed on the canvas?

[@gamesview3313]

With which collor you paint the shadows?

[@seagullrock]

Wonderful to watch. Beautiful, rich colors. And you make it look so easy. Curious about the thought process before painting is begun. Do you know the shapes and effects you want before starting, or do you just load up the brush and see what happens? I'd love to try something like this, but my brain hits a wall when I try to think where and how to start.

[@RayGrimesAbstractArt]

Thanks. Sometimes I just go with the flow, other times I have an idea of what to paint. It's different each time.

[@takeyecejames5922]

What are the colors you used in this painting? please...

[@fyorafafallia]

u I ask you, with what do you take down the paint (with the Tissue )?

[@RayGrimesAbstractArt]

It's a cotton cloth

[@tracygarrett3952]

At what point in the drying process is the tape applied and removed?

[@RayGrimesAbstractArt]

Completely dry

[@grapesnape]

Did you use some paint on the cloth at 1:23?

[@Unknown_unnamed10]

Did u use plywoods?...How much size it is?

[@MrHumbertodosreis]

Beautiful! I've tried to recreate the texture effect but it only makes an inprint of the cloth. What am I missing?

[@NoniOfFive]

Humberto Reis Read other comments 😉

[@RayGrimesAbstractArt]

Spray the canvas and wait for a little, then dab at the painting with the cloth. The cloth will pick up the wet droplets along with some paint.

[@Creative_artz]

Is it on canvas

[@RayGrimesAbstractArt]

canvas panel

[@ronaldboon8353]

Do you apply the tape after the paint has completely dried?

[@RayGrimesAbstractArt]

Yes

[@MyRelaxART]

Super. Ich mahle auch Bilder - Welcome

[@BMrvivek]

Is there anything we need to do before we start painting? I've started with acrylic recently and the paint never flows smoothly. Doesn't matter how I move the brush, the paint is always broken and appears like dots.

[@farzanamithila4491]

Did you use primer on canvas before painting?

[@raniagarwal8133]

What did u do with the cloth??

[@mabelamaliaaltamira7891]

Hola que pulverizas agua?

[@rchurchward]

I've tried the spraying water technique before but am having a hard time getting the same effect. When I do it, I let it sit for a minute and then attempt to dab it up but often it just picks up paint, creating a bumpy texture but not leaving the water effect. Do I need to wait for the paint to dry more before spraying or do you have any other suggestions? Thanks Ray, love your work!

[@RayGrimesAbstractArt]

The water droplets will keep the paint from drying while the paint around them starts to dry. Try waiting a little longer after spraying before dabbing.

[@kennethcanita3410]

How did u create the watery effect? Did you spray something b4 wiping with cloth?

[@RayGrimesAbstractArt]

It’s water

[@youssefmansourati7811]

Can you please write the name of the colors used in your videos ?

[@nirmalm4296]
