Most of the tubes that are sealed usually you turn the cap round and press it into it and it makes the hole

[@chantelbartee4228]

Yeah was gonna say he was doing it wrong!!! because I’m so used to doing it that way😂😂 but I definitely did learn a lot from this

[@_oreo_8593]

I wa stinking the same thing

[@funkymonks8333]

How did he not know that

[@nightynightshade]

@@funkymonks8333 dude I’m a professional artist and didn’t know that at first! When I tried the cap out of curiosity and realized that’s how it’s SUPPOSED to be done, I felt like a whole dunce😂😂😂

[@funkymonks8333]

@@nightynightshade oh I'm used to this kind of sealing cause I've seen it in condiments or toothpastes since I was young

[@edjellendio378]

He just skipped the most important parts for the beginners. Before Step 5, everyone would love to know how and what technique should you use in doing those eyes, nose, and mouth. If time is your concern, a little help from time-lapse would do the job. Nevertheless, we thank you :)

[@maksymvaskin2891]

Exactly! Kind of rendered the whole tutorial worthless with this jump...

[@Franko91352]

what are you talking about he’s doing a painting technique not a proportioning session

[@tjs9876]

The most important part for beginners is a good block in and he demonstrated that well

[@Alsyoutubeaccount]

@@tjs9876 eh I see both sides. I agree that the way he explained drawing the masses of light and dark is way more important than any beginner will understand at first. But it is a little frustrating he didn’t explain any of the detailing between 4 and 5.

[@rishuprakash3881]

Yess

[@peanutthelion815]

Bro I think the part I needed to see the most was what happened between the end of step 4 and the beginning of step 5...

Yeah I just wanna know how he got the skin color on the white and how some other parts got darker.

Thank you so much for this teaching. I am learning to paint using acrylics. I took up art when I became very sick and disabled a few years ago. Art has been I had a natural gifting in, however I need proper teaching. You have explained so much in this amazing video which basically answered many of the questions I needed answers to. The way you explained values is going to completely change the way I approach painting. I need to remember to take regular breaks and look at the painting from a distance. Because I am guilty of getting fixated on one thing and forgetting the bigger picture. I always take photos of my paintings at various stages because it really shows the truth, whereas my eyes often trick me into thinking it's better than it really actually is. You said so many things. There's a lot to unpack. Another thing I struggle with is proportion and angles. But I will get there. I love hyper realistic art. I want to learn to paint realistic paintings. I love how you painted the eyes. I laughed when you mentioned about the colour of the iris, not to paint it white or the eyes end up looking like headlights! Loved that! 😂I must remember to put my phone on silent nothing worse than having your ears blown apart! 😱Awesome painting and tutorial. Easy to follow and yeah just brilliant🎨✨

You actually turn the cap around and pierce the top of the paint tube with the sharp bit on the cap! just thought you might want to know that!

[@lopezelba1]

I just accidentally found you. Instantly fell in love with your calm demeanor and explanation of process. I have tons of paint but purchased this (link was not working in description section) none - the- less used your code and it worked on Amazon. New subbie now. Thank you for this. So well done! Can't believe it's in acrylic looks like oil, but of course its all in your technique, talent and . I'm new to painting only 2 years so far. At a very old age and just literally self taught for the love of art. This is so helpful. 🙏😊

[@leefelixsegg2666]

Me: *has $6 acrilics* Him: paint thicC Me: now listen here mr sir. Ive been waiting almost 4 years for my mom to buy me paints. Im not waisting it all on one painting cuz then ill have to wait 4 more years 😌

[@aminakishk6571]

yup Do money prayers for art supplies.. this actually works if you ask for other people, too... Money in general is a good thing to pray for....sell your work by going through the neighborhood , this is what I do.. and also praying for work from people to paint for them , a steady stream of art work is what I ask for....it actually happens and I am grateful...I use my living room for an art studio and work with photos , not live people...the more you paint the better your paintings will be...

You could have used the cap to puncture the tube. it was made for that.

[@chomanthapa]

Acrylic is not for the faint of heart. Its not as easy as oil.

[@Sarah-ic4yu]

Pannam I started with acrylics and I’m terrified of oils! I know my painting style would be so well suited with oils and I immediately fell in love with the texture and luminosity of the colors when I tried them the first time. But every time I try painting with them I get so overwhelmed bc I have no idea what I’m doing that I end up putting them away. I watch videos but I really need somebody I can go to with questions and advice. The chemicals and drying times and additives are overwhelming if you don’t have a mentor.

[@chomanthapa]

Sarah Albright if you are 10% good with acrylic you have automatically mastered 40% of oil painting. My opinion tho. Good luck

[@mrjanssen3856]

For real? Im so struggling getting perfect blendings with my acrylic paint, to warms and cools and hard and soft edges... If really start to think oil is more my thing.

[@chomanthapa]

@@mrjanssen3856 This is why I have said, acrylic is not as easy as oil. Try to spray your palette with water, This will increase the drying time.

[@tiagodagostini]

@@mrjanssen3856 Oils is technically much easier, but it is logistically more complex ( you need solvents to clean up, mediums to thin it, you need to dispose of the remain sin a safe way since it is toxic and easily flamable, etc...)

[@thesis_cgi]

Wow!👏 had lost my interest and touch in acrylic 2yrs ago. Thanks to this video, am feeling like using acrylic media again instead of oil.

[@BTSHIQ]

Usually when a tube is sealed, the reverse of the cap has a sunken point to burst the seal.

[@jecktangente2075]

Very informative.. Learned alot.. But about opening the sealed tube.. The cover cap has its pointed edge that plunges the tube

[@purronnaspaw]

Good video. Thank you!!

[@theresbob8878]

Use an acrylic extender especially with portraiture, you'll find it brings back the oil painting feel and ease for blending.

[@toyashipley2369]

The sharp point in the top of the paint cap is there to poke the seal on the tube. Like super glue

[@paulsheldon229]

iamazing work yupari acrylic very good structure most important drawing in acrylics

is there a benefit to painting from lightest values to darkest vs the other way around? I generally do the latter.

What are you using to hold your palette? That looks so handy

Good to see you work in acrylics again. Let's not wait 'til you get another product review, eh?

[@all_drums]

I have that same exact tripod that's holding up the canvas

[@lilyraimey3499]

The caps of those paints should have a pointy tip to pierce the seal if you check.

[@darebear1192]

each of the lids on the paints should have a pokey thing specifically for opening it

[@juanvalencia111]

Where can I get that tripod to hold the stay wet palette that you have in video ?

[@KAIZ0807]

4:20 just to point out, the way you break the seal is with the cap, just flip it and press it on the seal.

[@kakarabreu]

hahaha i need to say, this video is like the meme about the horse. But inverted. He started with a line and then was like: ok, ill come back after filling this white part. AND THEN THE PORTRAIT WAS FINISHED hahahahha man......i laughed LOUD here when the video was cut

[@Sketcher93]

Usually if a container has a foil seal across the top then the opposite side of the cap has a molded point inside it so that you can flip the cap over press it to the aluminum foil and it opens it for you. No need for a utensil.
