Loafing a detail brush has always been an impossible mystery, thank you so much!

[@roxannegordon6162]

I think it's time to quit my job so I can paint without a time schedule. I can hike and garden and read my books and watch your videos without watching the clock. This tutorial was very helpful. I like the video on different ways to blend with mediums, or not. Thanks

[@TheArtSherpa]

Well that sounds like a wonderful dream. Thank you so much for your kind words

[@mazdaram226]

Fantastic advice , I’m new to all of this and loading my new brushes correctly is why I’m here … Thanks from 🇬🇧

[@Mamasan742]

I know this is an old video, but I found it through search mode because I am having so many issues with my paintings. This video truly educated me! I can already see where my deficiencies are! I also saved your blending techniques video. I've been unsuccessfully painting pictures via tutorials without the actual instruction. So, now I'm beginning from square 1, and I'm learning the basics about painting on canvas before trying to paint another picture and making myself frustrated. 🤭 Thank you, Art Sherpa! 🤗⚘️♥️✨️

[@pryzmcat]

Love it! Excellent! Thank you! Great Channel!! Im learning new things even at the tender age of 57..teaching myself to paint! Blessings everyone!

[@TheArtSherpa]

Wonderful!, and most welcome 🧡

[@pjbk3838]

I have been painting for about a year. I should have watched this in the beginning. :) Thank you

[@yu12si7]

Thank you SO MUCH!!! Every day I think about you and send love to you and yours with my thoughts and prayers. You have saved my life....so how many others are there? xoxo You deserve your heart's desire.

[@TheArtSherpa]

Wow, thank you that is amazing to read

[@bryanmoyna9715]

That tiny little brush technique is a game changer for me, thank you very mucho!

[@TheArtSherpa]

You're so welcome!

[@tonibackus1438]

Thank you so much. You’ve saved me from continuing to do the wrong thing over snd over. Great short tutorial.

[@nillaruggiero]

Oh my God 😱, thank so much! I understand now why sometimes I feel frustrated with my brushes 😂 You are the best teacher ❤️❤️❤️

[@lynnquin8565]

Thank you for this one! I still have issues with loading my brush properly. I either get too much or too little on it By the way, I'm loving your hair in this one. I'm older (69) but sometimes put a streak of blue, green, or red in my hair. You've become a bit of an inspiration for me to be more colorful, to wear what I want to and do my hair the way I want to, and not worry about what other people my age think.

[@TheArtSherpa]

That is totally awesome. So good to hear 💝

[@lynneryan2007]

I'm 69 this year, haven't decided what yet but I'm definitely going to celebrate by putting some colour into my hair. Since I joined this group my wardrobe has changed as well. I'm much more aware of colour, life in dark colours to make me look thinner doesn't work, so as I buy new items they are in colours I enjoy. So many benefits to enjoying learning with theartsherpa, I can't say thank you enough.

[@rachelcooper3088]

Ahh you always make it seem so easy in your other videos, I was wondering what I was doing wrong. This helped so much! Thanks a bunch!

OMG this video helped me so much. I've been trying to get into miniature painting but I don't have any prior painting experience and was having so many issues with the basic skills. My paint was constantly getting air bubbles in it and I was constantly watering it down far too much so it would flow everywhere but where I wanted it. I'm going to try the things in this video tonight I'm thinking this will help HUGELY

I learned so much! Before I started seriously painting, (after retiring), I thought using water was just for watercolors! When I started painting with you, I realized that you can use water with acrylics. Thanks for all of your videos!

[@surinderkaur6860]

Thanks 🙏🏼

[@Jenny8273]

I did learn something that I have never come across before and that is how to use a mop brush for blending, for whatever reason I thought a mop brush was only used to mop the canvas while painting if too much water is used or to fix mistakes. I have so many mop brushes I am pumped about practicing the blending you demonstrated. Thank you!!

[@TheArtSherpa]

I am so glad this was helpful. And I think it’s something that’s perfectly reasonable that you wouldn’t know until you saw it or had painting for a while. I feel like there’s so many subtle things that we do is hardest to make our painting successful than trying to break down those less talked about things Just for my own lessons so we can answer questions better

Great tips. Thank you. That hidden droplet of water that runs down the ferrule. Omg that has got me a few times and it makes a blob on a spot I did not want it. So annoying! I have to remember to dry the brush handle before painting.

[@TheArtSherpa]

Most welcome 🌺

[@GaryParkin]

I just started painting about a month ago. I learned that I cannot paint like Bob Ross if I'm using acrylics. :) Your videos have helped me a lot. My friends tell me I have talent. lol I always get that dry brush issue and now I know why. It never occurred to me to prime my brush with water first. I thought it would look like water color. I can't wait to see all of your 5 min. videos. Thank you for all you do. It takes a lot of work to film, blend and upload videos. I've done a few myself. (I work in 3d modeling and animation). I love my liner brush and now I know why it runs out of paint. Thank you sooooo much.

Welcome!💟

[@Lilu468]

Nice tutorial! I’m currently trying out acrylics myself since I don’t got the space to paint with oils right now, which is hard because I’ve always loved oils above all other mediums and I’m definitely struggling with how fast it dries. This absolutely helped in giving me some ideas in how to tackle that But I got to address something and that’s the part you suggest throwing the acrylics rags in the washer. To anyone reading this, please please don’t! When you paint with acrylics you got to be equally careful about the clean up process as with oils. You can NEVER ever empty your used water or rinse off your equipment off in the sink. ALL colors-even water soluble mediums are toxic for the environment and shouldn’t be poured out through our water systems damaging our water and in extents animals. This applies even to water colors! This was something I myself was oblivious to for so long despite it being so important. I’ve never seen this being addressed in any tutorial or similar before, so I fear most ppl doesn’t know. Pls be creative with a conscious ❣️

[@TheArtSherpa]

Thank you for your thoughts on this. 💙

[@sharonobrien7341]

This is awesome! The detail brush always gave me a hard time - now I know why! Thank you! I do have trouble with the blending brush, I can’t seem to get the water ratio right. I also seem to always get brush streaks from it. Not sure if my pressure is off or what I’m doing wrong.

[@barbikangaroo8944]

Detailed liner brush... mind-blown! lol Thank you! :o] Dear theartsherpa I have another question... How do you dispose of your dirty paint water? Acrylics are plastic as you know and down the drain, toilet, tossed into the garden, multiplied by the thousands of painters... That is a lot of plastic particles returning to our oceans and earth. I have a couple of "green" ways of doing this. But I was wondering what you do or how you tell your students to dispose of it. Thank you so much for the time and effort you give to us all. Sincerely the Queen of Questions P.S. Personally i use a paper towel to strain and kitty litter non clumping

[@TheArtSherpa]

You can use evaporation method or Crash solids. There is a Crash solids Kit by golden and a bunch of info about using straw or even kitty litter for evaporation.

[@barbikangaroo8944]
