I'm starting a summer project with our two grandkids to paint a painting each week using your instructional videos. Should be lots of fun and a great way to inspire their artistic endeavors. The soap looks like an interesting product to add to our supply list. And I'm sure it has lots of other uses as well. Congrats on 100k!

[@msanchez7317]

That's a fun idea. I thought about painting the dragon with my nieces :D

[@elizabethcuevas-neunder6158]

I love young people and young businesses 🙏❤️🙏

[@HIM.9]

Dude, this guy exploded. I subbed back when he had 3k subscribers and I just noticed he's at 100k. Good job bro! I already have brush soap, but when that runs out I will definitely try brush cleaner.

[@LollyGaggler]

I just ordered the Lemon...i paint acrylics watercolors and oils...cant wait to get it.

[@klaudiamihalj]

Love when your beautiful wife makes an appearence, you two make a brilliant team! And thank you for this helpful video, I (and all of your viewers I'm sure!) truly appreciate the work you both put in your channel. Much love! x

[@ColorByFeliks]

Thank you Klaudia that is very kind of you! Always appreciate your great feedback on the videos...all the best :D

[@iladybug57]

Well, I’m on the waiting list fir the soap!

[@karolinaa4095]

You and your wife are so lovely couple! 😍 You made my day by uploading this video 😁 Can't wait to watch it!

[@ColorByFeliks]

Thank you Karolina! You're very sweet, hope you have a nice day today :)

[@rimshakhan5423]

Such a lovely couple ❣️

[@terezacristinacascaldi]

So nice!!! Thank you very much for sharing!

[@dshepherd107]

Honestly, a little Dawn liquid dish soap in the palm of your hands works just as well for for cleaning brushes used w/ acrylics. I use the same “palm washing” method as you. Ty for your instructional videos.

[@jackierutkowski4876]

Just found your site and have enjoyed learning about cleaning brushes although I have done similar cleaning with soap before. You are very easy to follow and including your wife in the video was great. Behind every great man there is a great woman so the saying goes I think. Thanks. Hope to learn more from your videos!

[@ColorByFeliks]

You are so welcome! Thank you! Yes, she’s a big supporter 🙌

[@AshaJacobb]

*Thats really a great idea, dried acrylics get rid off,...I too use the same way as you said..Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing this info*

[@27jegs]

You both are charming. Before washing out oils, a turpentine rinse would be helpful.

[@RihuwaMidori]

It's been a week I am following you. And I painted 2 things from your videos and was able to make decent. Thank you so much. I am going to keep painting with you hope fully 😆😆😆

[@ColorByFeliks]

Thank you for your great support! :D

[@RihuwaMidori]

@@ColorByFeliks no it's you who helping us. Thank you for putting so much effort for us (Me 😂) !

[@ronaldnaval55]

i like yout idea of washing brushes it helps to save from buying new brushes

[@katherinawilliams6090]

Hi I’m new to this group and I have been making face masks since the pandemic. I was using print and then I tried solid colors. I just felt like it needed something and after I went to a zoom paint by number party I thought of painting a scenery on the mask! AKA your You tube program. My idea for you is to show how you can paint on small spaces what brushes to use. I think it would be interesting.

[@laurentdandonneau3323]

merci pour tous ses bons conseils

[@neysaoberlin3750]

Looks like a great product. Can you give an update on the brushes that you used with the oil paints and how they dried? And did you use regular oil paints or water-soluble oil paints?

[@nirmalarevuri406]

Thank you very much for the information

[@CasperAndrea]

You don't need to find a pin to open a new tube of paint - there is a "pin" built into the cap... ;-) Thank you for another great video!

[@markvandam5567]

Hey guys. Would you say its alright to leave the dirty brushes in the water until time to clean them after done painting? Thanks for the final cleaning tips and love your vids.

[@hannahs8404]

“Science channel” 😂 yes!!! I can’t wait to see more videos ♥️♥️♥️

[@TheMcefalu]

What did you do or what do you do with your water when you are done painting?

[@mjpete27]

I would like to see how you construct your ideas how much time do you take to put together a painting? Do you use multiple sources? Do you ever use a computer to work your ideas out first? Thank you for sharing your lovely wife with us and Please continue to share your expertise and joy of painting! I wish more artists would take better care of their brushes!

[@boocchihitori4450]

Congrats on 100K

[@mikazakimiart1359]

good idea !!

[@carlhendersonsr9015]

I am new to painting I saw this video about brush cleaning. I wanted to purchase the soaps. How do I get them. I am a firm believer in supporting small businesses

[@donnag.3611]

What about using water based oils instead of the regular kind?

[@3jcespinosa]

Where can we buy and how much for each container?

[@Ray-ge6077]

What is the pot made off? Is it iron, or aluminum?

[@maisezizov6517]

Wow👍🏻

[@mannettepugh5482]

Can you see if they work on makeup brushes....I would love to use just one cleanser for both.

[@bettyhutchinson535]

That’s really a great idea for cleaning brushes. I’ve always the PINK SOAP to clean acrylic paint off my brushes. It works but takes awhile to clean. I’m wondering if could do something with birds like owls or cardinals etc. Thanks ✌🏻👍🏼❤️👌🏼

[@ColorByFeliks]

Thank you! I will keep that in mind for future tutorials & will be sure to give it as an option to my Patreon page :)

[@GollyMolly42]

Exactly what brushes do I use when blending the sky?

[@ColorByFeliks]

Hey, Linda. You can use whatever is available. I have a short blending tutorial here on KZbin and hope you learn the technique. 🙏

[@1DumbSquirrel]

Felix: "Ima try to poke that real quick" Felix wife "Not right now we are working" hahahaha

[@lizk7105]

Is there a tutorial of that beautiful painting?

[@msanchez7317]

Hi Feliks. I'm a customer - love the blending brushes - and I was thinking about looking at this soap. However, your website is requiring me to register to be informed when the blending brushes are back in stock. The "X" to close the pop-up doesn't seem to work. Might want to contact Mailchimp about this issue (I'm using Chrome).

[@ColorByFeliks]

Hi Mario, thanks so much for letting me know about this issue and my apologies. We are working to get this fixed ASAP.

[@msanchez7317]

@@ColorByFeliks Thank you! For any other customers that couldn't work around the alert - I was able to work around it by clicking one of your product links instead of starting at your website homepage.

[@boocchihitori4450]

Use odourless paint thinner for the oil paints like Bob said

[@tesspowell6468]

Wait so it's cleaned oil paint out without using turpentine? Wow that's amazing bc its natural and chemicals not going down the sink!

[@onkarparaswar3402]

Use good quality dish soap!! It works great!

[@晶莹2750]

Hi Feliks, I really love your painting and have painted my own following from yours. May I ask if you could paint some underwater world, cause I really want to learn how you form the colour there. Thanks for all the paintings you made which brings me into the joys of painting.

[@Smwooldridgeart]

Enjoy your week off. I hope you find it refreshing. Please put "Dragon in flight" on your next poll! Thank you

[@roannabeckwith232]

Is the acryllic paint water bad for your pipes?

[@Smwooldridgeart]

I've read/heard the advise to pour your dirty acrylic paint through a filter (like a coffee filter) before pouring it down the drain. I've yet to have any issue with acrylic paint in my pipes and I just pour it down the drain. Its not that the acrylic is bad for your pipes, but that it can adhere to what may already be slowly clogging up your drains and pipes. If your pipes are not all gummy with grease and hair, it will likely never be an issue. But if you already have gummy slow draining pipes, then you're just adding more stuff to clog up your drains and pipes.

[@RonR1]

Was that oil water soluble paint

[@ColorByFeliks]

Not that I know of...

[@rkent013]

Oil is NOT water soluble. Anyone with a basic understanding of chemistry can tell you that.

[@RonR1]

@@adityashet2042 u need to do more research. Oil paints can be modified to be water soluble. Just Google it.

[@a.d.504]

i am a 53 yr old artist. i dont have an artistic bone in my body but i feel like im in art school watching all the tutorials. i started watching all your videos a month ago and feel like i know u. i have a question... once the paint is dry and u go back to finish it how do u blend from that point? probably a stupid question

[@msanchez7317]

Nowhere as talented as Feliks, but I think you need the paint to be wet to blend properly. Once it's dry, you could just add additional layers if you're not happy with the results. I think I repainted the sky of the dragon painting about 4 times so far hah

[@barukksongi1628]

I draw with watercolor and water brushes and these didn't clean out rly well

[@jessicamaisonet917]

How much for each jar of soap??

[@vmac159]

I am disappointed by the lack of Bob Ross references in the comments section. .. ... ...... Beat the devil out of it.

[@Whatsyourproblemhuh]

Expensive, mate. I need them tho

[@AurorasArtWorld]

Looks like that soap will last a really long time too since it doesn't take much... Awesome bargain!

[@MFR2909]

nearly the same stuff as " The Master's Brush Cleaner " I guess ?

[@fatimairfankhan]

Is your wife a painter too?

[@artemis6281]

You can't paint ancient Greece thank

[@davidonisko8203]

You need to turn up the volume on your mic... couldn't hear your wife hardly at all. Make sure you speak up. Couldn't hear.

[@coolvartika22]

Please don't keep the tap running while cleaning your brushes. sheer wastage of water

[@1DumbSquirrel]

that's a weird looking thumb
