Very helpful information. Thank you. Your outline is a good list to jog our memories. I like the details about the different thicknesses and qualities of paint. Also like your demos.

Blending is so easy on the little canvases. So much harder on the big canvas

[@ChrisBreier]

Blending can be more challenging on larger canvases. I've found that it helps to use larger brushes. I don't know if you've seen this video, but I painted a larger mountain landscape with Golden Open acrylics and the blending was made easier by using larger brushes. I added Golden open thinner whenever I felt as though the paint was starting to dry. The largest brush that I used on the sky was the "Blick Mega Golden Taklon" which I list in the description of that video. 😀kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqG9Z2StmpJqnLc

This was more helpful than most blending demonstrations. I came here specifically looking for help with Opens. Unfortunately there isn't much out there on these paints. I'd really like to see a demonstration of re-opening sticky or drying Open paint for further blending using Open medium, as described by Golden. So far, it hasn't worked for me.

[@curtriceennis2924]

TY for sharing these techniques. They are all worth trying, but, I must say how the "watercolor" technique isn't my favorite.

[@AlejandraRafa]

[@NotAppIicabIe]

Oh jeeze. I was just trying to blend two colors into each other without making any other transition shades. And I wondered why it wasnt smooth..

[@ChrisBreier]

You can do that, you just have to find a way to prevent the paint from drying out as you blend- add retarder, mist it with water, or paint in thicker layers.
