You're a good teacher, Len. I bought your full set of dvd's; very informative.

[@jmc2284]

A helluva painting Len. Gorgeous! You make it look so easy .👍

[@EricSareyka]

That looks great! The slightly chaotic kind of the colour blending on the palette knife generates nice effects. Greetings from Germany. Eric

[@pjprimadonna]

I love this so much! Have watched at least 10 times and still don’t have the guts to do it, don’t want to spoil it😂

[@lenhend]

Have a go for fun

[@fredbear72ify]

I love this painting Len, one can learn so much from you, i have seen places like that in the bush, i must keep trying to get that look.

[@Lauli55]

You're doing good videos, I love watching them!

[@TruthSeekingElf]

So stunning Len!! Love this one!! So very Australian!! Great to see you getting a lot more views too!! Thank you very much for sharing!!

[@PsyAmb]

Great vids Len. I have a quick question, the paint on your palettes always seems so fluid and fresh. How do you keep it this way. I find I am forever pouring out acrylic paint onto the palette as it goes dry so quick.

[@Melania456]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. Looking forward to more videos.

[@pjprimadonna]

superb! not sure i’m up for it yet but i’m aspiring to it

Köszönöm szépen :)

[@RichieS83]

Great videos Len! I work in both oil and acrylic. Is it alizarin crimson you are using? Can i substitute with cadmium red if not?

[@lenhend]

No, you must use any crimson, reds go brown.

[@RichieS83]

Thank you. I'll try that!

[@m96920]

Len, how to slow down acrylics drying? Needs of a specific medium?

[@lenhend]

Mike - I haven't found a good way of slowing down the drying of acrylics. I just paint faster but you can try a 'retarder medium' - see online. I also use thick layers of paint and fully load the brush. A hot dry breeze is the worst so try for cold damp with no breeze area for painting.

[@CanalLegallega07]

Boa técnica!!!! Legal!!!

[@thekappap]

what oil paints are you using in this video .?

[@lenhend]

This video is acrylic. I stopped using oils due to health reasons.
