[@dormaettu302]

Thank you, where did you learn to paint ?

[@cooldude1547]

genius

[@kenjitanner7756]

do you dry each layer first?

[@corrijackson]

My flaw is mixing as I go I need to premix my colors.. thanks

[@magalyestremera9317]

Do you let it dry between layers?

[@Jaddess.G]

I personally struggle with portion sizes… was this amount of paint enough for all of her skin, or did you have to go back and mix more? Thanks for the help!

[@zeinab.fofana]

I do as well, what i'm starting to do more of is making a large amount at a time. it's always better to have too much than not enough end forgetting how you mixed it

[@Tg-fh9ov]

Can you do a oil painting tutorial

[@samarahgrant298]

Are you waiting for the paint to dry in between layers?

[@hannesrensen9319]

Love your video . But hsrd to hear you . Even if my tablet or Phone is turned all up. Denmarkn

[@LexEshe]

the ugly stage discourages me as an artist lmao

[@Ngoziscreativity]

You are not alone sis

[@norahreese-xp4cd]

I can barely hear you. Is there any way you could turn up your voice in this video?

[@firelordOzai3]

Don’t you people have palate knives? Is there anyone who mixes paint like this in real life? I can’t bear to watch the cross-contamination
