This is an excellent tutorial. It takes the intimidation out of painting.

Did this and it turned out great. I don’t have an artistic bone in my body either!

Beautiful, and different. You make it seem so easy, so, thanks 4 sharing & God Bless...

[@miriams.7815]

Thank you so much for this! Your fall mountain morning painting was my first (decent) acrylic painting ever, and since than I've been painting every day ❤️❤️

[@handsathome]

This is great! I homeschool my children and this year I am walking them through an acrylic painting once a month. This is going to be perfect for October.

[@TheMeneermans]

So much succes in the artclassroom. Great paintings and proud students. ❤️ Thank you🍄🍁🍂

[@moreyogafitness9237]

I hosted six 16-year-olds and their mothers for my daughter‘s sweet 16 birthday party and wanted to do a Covid friendly type activity together so we bought canvases and paint and brushes and all of us watched your tutorial together and all of us created this acrylic with our own special touch. It was magic. Everyone had so much fun and It was almost as if we were at one of those painting parties except we did it in the comfort of our home.

[@TracieKiernan]

[@brittiandow6253]

What is the best brushes to use for acrylic painting ?

[@TracieKiernan]

I actually have a whole blog post about all the different types of brushes on my website under the resources tab! I also have a shopping supplies list as well on there! I use a few different brushes but I use Royal and Langnickel the most.

[@brittiandow6253]

Mostly Liquitex BASICS, some other student grade ones in the mix. And I get them at Michaels and Amazon.
