Love it! No one has explained the use of mediums in blending acrylics so clearly before! Thank you so much for this lesson.

[@MazArtStudio]

Thank you glad you enjoyed it

[@thomasvasquez6096]

Bravo!! Absolutely loved your teaching style!! I’m 71 year old senior citizen, and learned something new today! Thank You mam! Tom❤️Mercy

[@MazArtStudio]

Aww 🥰 you are welcome glad I could help.

[@PEACE-nu4wj]

Amazing! And what a beautiful painting! I am learning to paint and am using acrylics. I became very ill and disabled a couple of years ago, but took up art as a hobby, and it has really benefited me so much. It's fun and relaxing. I am self taught, but these tips are so good.

[@darrenashley5292]

Thank you so much for your fantastic tuition. Brilliant.

[@darrenashley5292]

What does the gel medium look like. Is ir colourless or an actual gel

[@toiasos]

Excellent instructional video Marion. Thank you so much for the time and effort it takes to "teach" properly. Your videos are a pleasure to watch and listen to, and they provide fantastic tips for us who are trying to improve our painting skills. They are easy to understand and to show the points you are trying to convey to us. Cheers!

[@gabriellechilton5902]

Omg! Again. You explain so much. So many thinks i had no clue. I have been fumbling through learning. Trial and error. Using mediums, brush names, etc. thank you.

[@MazArtStudio]

Welcome 🤗 glad you enjoyed it & I appreciate your comments

[@tinykitchenbigflavor7142]

I am loving these tips especially since I'm a newbie and I mean a real newbie at this... I have watched so many videos to ensure I'm equipped with the fundamental steps to go ahead with my first painting

[@MazArtStudio]

Glad you like them!

[@pamgravett3758]

Oh! This is the first time I have ever seen such an informative video on acrylic blending! I am so glad I found you! Thank you soo much for sharing.

[@MazArtStudio]

you are very welcome I am so pleased you found it useful.

[@raquelmina7247]

I am a beginner and have not started yet and I find your way very informative and useful.

[@animaloverload7465]

I started painting with acrylics a few months ago, and I am always looking for new ways, styles, AND teachers. Thank you for the amazing video.

[@driesketels]

Beginner tips: 1) Tone the canvas first 2) Use white gesso for large areas 3) Always work in layers, don't rush anything 4) Add your background first 5) Use the gel medium in creative ways Much painting pleasure guys. Cheers

[@MazArtStudio]

great summary thanks :-)

[@driesketels]

@@MazArtStudio you're welcome.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Fantastic video, thank you! I must admit I paint acrylics on stretched paper because I have never liked canvas, so tend to work a little thinner in the first layers as I am always nervous the paint may crack when the paper is removed from the board! Going to watch more of your videos for tips ☺️

[@MazArtStudio]

Thank you Michele !! I just LOVE your channel too! 🥰

[@hanytalya5322]

Hi again! Can't thank you enough! This video gave me so much! I watch it every day because it is so full of great tips. I love working with gesso the way you do! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I couldn't find the formula for acrylic paints. Again, love your accent. Greetings from Israel!

[@MazArtStudio]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@baristurkmen2342]

Another amazing video. One thing you demonstrated here beautifully and what I LOVE about acrylics is the versatility - it can be really frustrating to paint wet-on-wet in acrylic and seem impossible to replicate an oil approach but you have shown how you can still create paintings that look like oils without the oil!

[@MazArtStudio]

Thank you ☺️

[@florencetreakle3313]

Thank you from Stuart Florida I just retired and am painting appreciate your teaching.

[@laszlovna]

Thank you! Great tips, very useful! Other painters don’t admit that they use the gel. It makes a huge difference. I do get frustrated how quickly the paint dries. This video helped me.

Finally! An informative Video without BS. I hate watching Video Tips which will take half of a video just for an introduction!

[@natalielock1379]

Thank you so much for this video, and I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to find you. I have been attempting to learn to paint using the internet and was ready to quit. Your easily understood instruction on how you are using your brushes along with your fantastic tips convinced me to give it another try. I can't wait to get started. And your daisies are beautiful. Could you please explain the brush move used to make the leaves, as well as name the type of brush you used? Thanks again!

[@alanwelder9486]

Was very helpful! I'm a new Artist to painting. I have a floral and interior design back ground. Finding new joy in painting. Your tips were very, very helpful Thank you.

Hi Marion, Love all your tips. Very useful tutorial. Thanks for your sharing. Sheila.

[@MazArtStudio]

Thank you ☺️

[@kennethfine1]

Hi... i love following your tutorials. I have become a better artist because of you. Watching your tips, i wanted to mention that once i have my background done and dried. I use colored chalk to outline my vase and even select the placement and size of flowers. It works well for me because i can modify and make changes easily by wiping the chalk off with a dry paper towel and redo it again. Thank you again...Ken from Boston

Normally i used to face problems while trying to blend the colours on canvas, since it was gwtting dried up fast. Now you showed a way to overcome it. Using gel is a good idea. Thanks. Because i am learning painting from net. Not from any art schools. Thanks for the valuable tips .

Thank you for the information. I do more acrylic pouring. I’ve done a quite large wood round. I first painted it with Jesso. it came out really pretty. I was thinking of using resin to seal it. But should I use gloss varnish instead. Do you have any tips? I was going to use it as a table top. It is pretty thick.

[@BloodyNoraaaa]

Who remembers the video ... Is this dress blue and black or white and gold? That video sprung to mind because at the beginning ... 'tone the canvass' .... you said the paint colour you used was grey .... I absolutely saw that paint ... as GOLD lol. Did anyone else see gold? This freaked me out somewhat LOL!! Other than that ... Thank you for these tips .. I am a beginner and loving learning. Video's like your's ... are a great help to me. Liked and subscribed x

[@MazArtStudio]

it is grey, using black white and a touch of burnt umber to warm it, but yes my video camera has picked up a yukky goldish color - I am still new to this editing lark :-) I will try to learn something about how to color correct videos ;-) To be honest you can tone your canvas with any colour and often it is good to use a complimentary color such as an orange (if you are working on something that has a lot of blue etc) but as this is a top tips video working with grey is very easy. I hope that makes sense.

[@salvationbordercountry3800]

Very fine instruction, and you verified much of what I thought about wet on wet techniques. Thank you so much. I learned a lot more than that, also.

Thank you ❣️ I came across your videos and was hoping it wasn't just another husband and wife team circus. So obnoxious. Awesome useful tips, and I thank you for your style of communication. It's so refreshing to listen to an adult actually teaching in a calm, direct, un annoying manner, without others distracting and interjecting useless talking and giggles ❤️ I've subscribed, gladly.

[@jenjen2868]

I so agree with you. Can't concentrate when someone constantly giggles while someone else trying to be funny.

[@Twinzma]

Jennifer Long beyond annoying. I thought I was alone, or being petty, but it never fails, my paint is drying whilst I wait for their inside jokes get dragged out. I just want to pay attention and learn. Even the taping is clear here, and very visible, not convoluted with 6 different camera views at one time, like it's necessary to sacrifice canvas room, so we can see the hubby also working in a tiny frame. Smh 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@jenjen2868]

LOL. And I thought I was the only one being annoyed, cause people in the comments write how much they enjoy the interaction between them. Cause it's so 'cute'. Not me. Can't watch another video.

[@MazArtStudio]

Iris Jones thank You I’m glad you enjoyed the tips. My filming is getting better but I’m still a novice (my online school is professionally filmed thankfully 😅).

[@sunnystardust1008]

@@jenjen2868 that's why I can't watch and Marion is one who inspired me to do my own tutorials that are straight forward too. She's fantastic, she's calm and has been at this for years. Her website is really helpful too. She's worked mainly in oils and acrylic is new in a way for her and she's magical with it! Lol I'm just very proud of her. She's been a dream for me.

[@choosinghealthybeliefs]

Great information. I have been struggling to add sunset colors on a water body and either created green where I didn't want it if my paint remained wet, or hard lines if I worked on a dried background. I think I can go back and finish this piece properly now. Thank you.

[@MazArtStudio]

really glad you found the tips helpful

[@tmvernon12]

Do you always have to use the gel with acrylic paint? Is there away you can paint without the gel and get the same results? I loved the demo!

[@welshartnow]

Fantastic tutorial, lovely pace. What hake brush could you recommend. Also what is the difference between working into gesso and letting the gesso dry first? Thank you

[@MazArtStudio]

I like the Ron Ronson hake brush. I only work into gesso when I want a soft blend eg for a sky. Then I dry it and work on top of the blended dry area. Hope that makes sense
