Some had asked for a full real time tutorial for blending my abstract backgrounds! Here ya go! Don't get frustrated, blending acrylics is not easy, but just keep at it, its gets easier! There are many other techniques for realistic acrylic painting like for clouds and waves, maybe i will do one of those in the future! Happy painting!

To my knowledge, you are the only person who has been so patient as to share your knowledge. This is almost like a paid for class. If I were close to you, I would take any of your classes in a heartbeat. I have to just say WOW. I have downloaded this and going to follow it this weekend to play. Don’t ever apologize for a long video. If people don’t want to watch they will fast forward or skip to something else. Your loyal followers will hang on every minute. HAPPY PAINTING MOLLY GIRL!

My goodness, acrylic paints are so much more opaque than watercolor paints-and appear, from this demonstration, to be much more difficult to blend. I've recently started using acrylics for rock painting for my grandchildren. The dry-on-dry-with-different-hues-of-paint-on-the-same-brush technique had the best blending results to my eye-thank you for your introduction to blending with acrylic paints.

I don't know if you have a FULL tutorial on different bushes, and a full tutorial on the different types of acrylics and how they compare, but if you don't have these they would be really helpful to newbies like me.

Wow Molly! You're the first artist I started binging on when trying out this art form last year. This video is pretty awesome. I'm working on a smallish 16x20 canvas for an earth and air pour. Actually, Earth and background will be the only pour and air will be using brushes. Earth will have a poured galaxy background, air will have gradient blues probably with iridescent, very transparent white swoops using the narrow part of a paddle brush or scraping. I need some advice on how to blend the 2 backgrounds without the white having a stark starting point. If anyone can help me it's you. Thank you for all the helpful vids❤
