Ditch the Details, Paint loose instead using Acrylics!! Try this!!

[@cherratheehager5492]

Alan Dershowitz say thank you for the excellent videos you are posting. I am perfectly serious when I say that you’re a very quiet, laid-back and informative videos and style of teaching has helped me more than any other video series. I haven’t watched in ages.I am subscribed. I have been drawing and painting forever, and basically started out as being self-taught. I have been teaching some and I plan on utilizing some of your techniques and information to help me be a better teacher… And a better artist. I started playing air painting about a year ago and your videos are also helping with that. I’m sharing it with quite a few other artist friends I have, and I would love to see your channel grow.

[@GebahiArtworks]

I thank you very much for the compliments, I’m humbled, I try to break down the info to its simplest form, making it easier to digest! I hope I can continue to inspire you in your work and show you what is possible. Thank you for sharing my work with others, I truly appreciate it Alan!!

[@celiawildroot263]

Thank you! Amazing color mixing. Great rendition! Yours is better! 🌞

[@T3po69]

One of my favorite artists on KZbin. It’s hard for me to find loose style in acrylics. You also give great tutorials. Love how you talk through it all.

[@GebahiArtworks]

I Totally appreciate it, thank you!!!

[@justicenoapart]

Thanks for the tutorial, but I still have issues getting the right color!. Will it be bc I do not have the same type of red and brand of Colors.?

[@GebahiArtworks]

@@justicenoapart that may be or the mixing is off! If you’re using a cad red vs alizarin crimson it will make a difference! Cad red is more opaque and will make a muddy dark, so you have to use less of it. Alizarin crimson is semi transparent and makes a nice dark when used with ultramarine blue and a little burnt umber! Other than that, cad red shouldn’t be an issue. When using with greens to tone down the greens, just use little amounts of red.

[@Trilliumzen]

[@margarethisbeloved4018]

I just discovered your tutorials too! Thank you so much! I forgot to just relax and paint. I was trying too hard to be perfect You're an awesome teacher! ❤

[@GebahiArtworks]

@@margarethisbeloved4018 that’s the pitfall of a lot of beginners, feeling the need to be perfect right out the gate, and being too detailed! Your initial stage should be loose and use it as a roadmap to the next stage of the painting. By painting loose, you enjoy the process carefree and paint what’s important or what catches your eye in a scene in a quick fashion. From there Lyon can adapt and add more detail if you choose to!

[@lisafroment856]

You are such a good painter!! I thoroughly enjoy watching anything you tackle. You make it look so easy and inspire me to pick up my paints. And you do have some pretty funny commentary here and there. Thank you for your videos.

[@patsysirmanart6956]

This video inspired me to begin doing small, loose learning/practicing paintings using simplified landscapes. I want to loosen my style to a more painterly feel with a secondary goal of being able to do some respectable plein air panting. Thank you for your excellent teaching.

[@GebahiArtworks]

Go for it!!! I love this style as well, definitely helps when plein air painting!!

[@DebbieAnderson-z3r]

I love your eye for colors & details and your own impression Your teaching skills are awesome but for much more advanced painters. I’m scared to even start painting! But enjoyed watching you paint🫶👨‍🎨

[@GebahiArtworks]

Don’t be scared Debbie, once you jump in is the only way to practice and work on any mistakes! How are you going to know that you’re doing something wrong when you haven’t started! You’ll learn from many mistakes, just as I have. When a baby walks for the first time and falls, does it stop trying to walk ? No, it keeps trying and quickly starts figuring out what not to do and what works, like going slow and working on balance! So please dive in and and see what what you can do and just learn to adapt, you might surprise yourself and realize you’ve wasted so much time pondering instead of working on what could have been a great success! I just want you to go for it!

[@JoRichards-g5y]

Painting it at the minute and learning so much from you.Plus not using an awful lot of paint which I used to do before.I’m using Windsor and newton student range but will invest in Liquitex heavy bodied after Christmas.It’s amazing when I’m mix up the same colours you use , the ones I have don’t give the same hue but I’m managing around it and it’s Realy great.Even now the picture has great depth and the tones are great and I was delighted to get the clouds finished yesterday.So thank you so much again for your brilliant channel💕

[@GebahiArtworks]

Thank you very much John, I really appreciate it !! I’m glad at least that you picked up a brush and as you keep practicing you’ll notice the difference. Keep the first painting and compare it to later paintings and see how far you’ve come along!

[@noelinegeydien9956]

[@GebahiArtworks]

I think I’m in awe of your brushes. I cannot believe how your paint glides over the canvas. I would have gone through twice as much paint as you have to get the same coverage. How do the bristles hold up for you? Are they holding their shape well? By the way…beautiful painting!

[@GebahiArtworks]

Thank you very much Beth!! They are holding up very well, they hold just enough water in the Bristles. They hold their shape if you clean them after each session, sometimes I neglect to, Lol!! For sharp lines I use either a liner, which they do sell in that line, or I buy some cheap synthetic brush for sharp edges, such as in the ones I use in the new video that’s about to come out tomorrow!!

Dude that was totally incredible. Are there anymore resources where I can learn about value, and mixing color? I have a color chart where you mix two colors to get the your desired colors, but I see you’re mixing more colors to get wonderful grey’s. Your colors are so vibrant and not dull. I want so bad to schedule that. Plus I like the fact that you didn’t do a lot of details and finished product looks so realistic. Thanks for sharing your incredible knowledge. Thanks man…..
