Trying Out Himi Acrylic Paint

For anyone wanting to try the acrylics out... amzn.to/3NyzLyb

[@Valid_Piano]

Well acrylics aren't commonly used for paper.. maybe try the acrylics on wood? Idk

Hey, a popular youtuber named Moriah Elizabeth made a paint set and I want to know how good it is can you check it out?

Omg! I remember a while back you were talking about how they offered to send you acrylics and how said you probably wouldn’t like em and they were like “that’s fine just try em”. I love that and how you actually like them. It speaks volumes! Bc I used to think I couldn’t paint or that I hated painting but when I found the right brand/type I realized it wasn’t necessarily me it was the paint. And I think that’s soo important. Soo many ppl say they can’t draw or create art but I think everyone can they just haven’t found what works for them.

[@coolsaige]

you should make a series of learning how to use acrylic! just like you did with gauche

[@krakennekark]

If he decides to do this, I think it’d be nice if he did other people from The Defenders Saga as a continuation

[@JazzyCast]

OmG the YELL i made when i saw you chose the punisher to paint !!! he is easily my fave character along with the actor

[@duck-loves-tea]

I’m glad you’ve changed your mind on acrylics! I personally love them And this is a really nice set!

[@illestvillain1971]

He got sponsored. Money is a wonderful motivator for changing ones mind ahaha

[@Etanor]

​​@@illestvillain1971 no actually sometimes he say he don't like it but recommend for various reasons

[@Meraxes6]

I only use fluid acrylics which aren’t goopy at all, I’m sure he’d like them better!

[@Alecexo]

@@illestvillain1971 yeah but he actually used them and it came out nice. You can tell he only does sponsorships with companies he really recommends. The dude has to pay his bills cmon.

[@noodlecatcountry]

Ok, I need you to paint Matt Murdock now.

[@oshinifernando5964]

Yes, please.....

[@dannielleacnl21]

Yes!!!!!! 🖤🖤🖤

[@stroodledoodles]

If it's the thickness that you struggle with, I recommend trying fluid acrylics! They're much thinner and you're able to do watercolour techniques with them :)

[@m_artroom]

Or you can buy cheap apple barrel paint 😃

[@stroodledoodles]

@@m_artroom That too!!

[@TAmberTaylorStudio]

You can also use a glazing medium to mix with your paint. Works beautifully. I never use water with mine. But yes, the fluid paints are awesome.

[@CoralBrain_0]

I gotta say the way you use such vibrant colors together to look natural is insane. really inspiring stuff

[@LowPolly]

The fact that you did Punisher makes me think you opened these up and went "NONONONONO WAITWAITWAITWAITWAIT"

[@Quesoquantum]

JUST WAIT

[@fauwowsart_9186]

“Lemme tell u sumthin else man”

[@LightingCatxD]

I actually love your little sponsored reviews because not only can you see on hand how the color behave but also hear your opinion of someone who prefers their colours to be more fluid. I prefer my acrylics to be way more smoother and easier to add some water to and I'm honestly really stoked to try them out!

[@honeybunny79]

I'm glad you liked these acrylics! They're the only type of paint I have, and I love them!

[@relikias1]

Amazing work man, you really captured Frank's pain.. I know these are very informative and one can get lost in the knowledge and forget the art sometimes. But dude your art is awesome, you're amazing.

[@cjsmile3144]

Hey! I use those heavy body paints actually and they work best with a gel medium. (The set those come in usually comes with a transparent mixing white). I’ve found that water and gel medium and paint all together turns the muddy and gloopy paint into something more manageable. And yes, these are heavy body so I find they are best for when you want the texture of the paint or brush strokes to be visible.

[@Blick_Art]

Watched the stream live, we thought you got great results! Great information given during the demo, too!

[@ssavaart]

Thanks again for all of your support, Blick. Would love to do some videos together one day if you'd ever like to. ♥

[@cguibcx]

I feel this way about oil paints. They're so complicated with all their oils and techniques and the drying time! I just don't have the patience. You made me want to go back to acrylics, I think I'll get these! Thanks Scott!

[@naomigonzalez-bell6733]

If you haven’t already, I would love to see you do glass painting with them!

[@Sometimes-I-Smile]

This makes me think that you would enjoy pour type acrylics because they’re more watery so you should totally give them a try! Ps. I love you art and every piece you’ve done!

[@nightfallnoir]

I’m glad even though you find acrylics strange to use, you still gave them another chance for Himi and discovered they’re not as muddy and itchy as you’d think they’ll be! As always, it doesn’t matter what art medium you use or how cheap or pricy it may be- you manage to create masterpieces EVERY SINGLE time!! I mean of course you do this since years, but I for example first need time to get to know a new art medium and how it works best before exploring what I’d like to draw and try out with it ;D

[@ihaveshortattentionspan]

I usually only draw sketches since I always thought that my drawing looks better in that stage rather than when I started to colour it (I love the fact that you can do shadings, texture, blending and all of that with just a pencil), but there will be a time when I wanted to do some paintings and I usually use acrylics for it. And opposite of you, I struggle with watercolor since sometimes I thought it looked too thin and for me it didn't blend too well, perhaps it because the type of paper I'm using and also the brand of watercolor I'm using. Seeing you have fun with something you used to struggle with and the fact that you're brave enough to try it out again in the first place is really inspiring to me as an artist, perhaps I'll give watercolours a second shot :)

[@jokervoid_edits]

It's good you changed your mind on Acrylic paints I love this medium ❤️.

[@topfangirl14]

I love acrilycs for what I paint, they just dry fast and make my art process much faster!

[@freddywines6431]

For acrylics, I love to use masters touch acrylic paints, it is a beautiful selection of hues and are really easy to mix. They are my favorite with sponge painting

[@cognitivedissonance7422]

Wow, I love all your work, but there's usually some sense of lightness or playfulness to it... So there's something really fascinating in seeing you capture the sheer agony in a tragic character like this. Look at those tortured eyes. Really impressed by that, tbh.

[@ButtonsNBones]

As someone who dislikes acrylic paint, I'm tempted to buy for that buttery consistency and layering

[@AnimeBloodyMuffin]

I used to use acrylics and then because your videos inspired me I slowly ventured into trying watercolors so getting over the initial change shock is real lol

[@small_art]

That’s really great it’s good to try stuff even if you don’t like it I guess you never know if you’ll actually like it

[@coco_153]

You are such an amazing artist. You have been my biggest inspiration for the longest time. You have inspired so many beginer artists, your videos are worth about a million more likes❤️

[@chuuyaisshort]

You're art is beautiful and such an inspiration to me! I probably wouldn't have gotten into drawing and painting as much as I am today if it wasn't for your videos, thank you!

[@pearld1ver]

yeah!! its the same for me! scott motivated me so much and pushed me in my art :)

[@ssavaart]

Oh. I love to hear that.

[@ssavaart]

Thanks so much! ♥

[@fairy_gvts]

Yess. Thinner textured acrylics are actually wonderful to paint with. I love them very much.

[@Cartoonist113]

I’m actually painting with acrylics in my graphic art skills class it’s a monochromatic painting

[@elliaustr017]

The painting still came out so awesome omg

[@christinecipriano6360]

Having fun a medium you struggle with is one of the most rewarding feelings you get especially when the result of the painting looks great!

[@Lea-is-sleeping]

You're supposed to dilute acrylics with acrylic medium, that's why it feels like mud. It's a petroleum based product and not water soluble, so trying to dilute it with water actually breaks the paint bonds and makes it blotchy, patchy and muddy. When you use acrylic medium to dilute it (like you would use water for gouche), the main types you can use are Matte or Glossy depending on the finish you want. Go to any art supply store and they can show you the different mediums and explain how to use them. 🙂 I hope you try acrylics again using a medium, I think it would enjoy it more! I did my BFA in large-scale painting (focusing on acrylic) and large-scale drawing (focusing on Charcoal and pastel) and came to love acrylics for it's versatile uses through using different types and quantities of mediums! 😃

[@Lowertownfan]

So happy you like acrylics now! And that you even learned and accepted that one of the just wasn't the right fit. You're becoming the art God! I put in my whole heart to strive to be like you!.

[@moonbaby3218]

I like "apple barrel" acrylics, they are cheap and usually work well with water, I get them from Walmart, I would love to see u try them out

[@rosefriedman2764]

You might want to give fluid acrylics or craft acrylics a try.

[@Batmanitha_Anne]

This is awesome! I am a fan of acrylics :)! If you are trying to water it down, I recommend using a tiny tiny bit of paint otherwise it does stay pretty thick :)

[@Thatonekidwhopaints]

For the next series can you do paintings of inspirational people and if you do,do you think you could do BEYONCÉ

[@kurooschurros]

As someone who primarily makes art with acrylics, I’m so glad you found something that changed your mind! HIMI’s formula looks really smooth, especially compared to what you had tried previously. I’m happy for you!!

[@nightwolf1416]

As a kid, I loved acrylics. And I think the main part of it was the mud like texture, it was just fun!

[@CGI_Andy]

As someone who grew up with acrylics, I agree that it is painting with mud sometimes. Adding water and going in thin layers is key (unless you intentionally want to add texture lol).

[@DeepLife]

You nailed this painting loved it

[@JVCKPOT]

One of my fav actors . Punisher was such a great show

[@ero-beat]

being a digital artist trying painting, acrylics hv been great friend for me. it dried fast, so fast that it somehow mimics the layer system in digital painting made me adapt quite easy

[@wafflefries174]

The best piece of advice I ever received about acrylics is to work in layers. Start with basic shapes and add more definition with each new layer.

[@K-CeeW78]

Love the Punisher and Bernthal is AMAZING!!

[@FTTPRO]

Damn! The way it came out though! 👏👏👏

[@Gabriel-gb8yh]

I love this guy he’s so wholesome

[@koushikisaha5197]

im so glad u liked working with acrylic ❤️, personally it's the only medium im most comfortable with

[@Jersey96]

Personally I love using acrylics I find them so fun and I have used them in all of my realism paintings which always turn out great

[@noahsfarm1545]

I’m glad you found ones you like. I’ve never worked with acrylics like the Liquitex, so I was confused when you said it was like mud. The thin ones are much better. I also use water to dilute mine and even rehydrate them if they start to dry out on my pallet.

[@oddbirdMusic]

I think the number one thing about any medium, is to respect it as its own medium that works differently

[@speedyhorse8957]

I love the in between acrylics. I use Arteza and they are absolutely hands down the best acrylics I’ve ever used, I won’t use any other now. They can be thick but can easily water down, I use them generally for hyper realistic animals and doing hair with them is so amazing, you can physically feel the texture.🥰🥰🥰 I love watching your stuff and learning more about water color and quash. I don’t use them all that often and it’s nice to learn more.❤

[@robotrocket1]

Welcome, Scott, to the acrylic master race. I like them because they blend easily, and you can subtly mix and adjust your colours if something isn't quite right. Also they don't run away unlike watercolour.

[@andrewj3672]

Im so glad! Back when i used acrylics i used to dilute them with water all the time- even my thickest layers were a bit watered down. Agree abt the heavy body stuff.

[@arrowlaidlaw8002]

I did acrylics for my painting in an art final and I hated every minute of it, the whole idea of paint reminded me of the experience I had with acrylics, but thanks to Scott. I think I may try water colours soon. Keep up the great work Scott, and thanks for keeping art fun for me! ❤

[@helenakhudyna2360]

Wow, that's so uplifting, to see you be pleasantly surprised! And bonus points for the puns, love them!

[@savannahbarbour4415]

i would love to see you try out more pieces with the himi acrylics!! it’s got great potential!!

[@yourlocalcartoonmcflurry9824]

I really enjoy painting with acrylics(it's exacly that feeling, like your painting with mud... I just really enjoy it) and recently I painted my first portrait with them (I think it turned out pretty good)

[@alessiacairati8147]

beatiful art ✨️✨️✨️ W HIMI

[@Roary949]

Acrylics it’s like every single paint you have to get used to them and not to mention if you come up with your own technique your pictures will end up really beautiful. I have been working with acrylic paints for the past 14 years now and honestly once you get used to whatever style that you have, and it’s honestly a very simple paint brand to use.

[@diamondlincoln7127]

It’s crazy so many people hate acrylics but it’s my favorite paint to work with lol

[@universallyunique]

I started my painting journey with acrylics and my brand of choice was and remains Folkart paints. Lots of colors and types but they aren't heavy. The only heavy line of theirs that I've tried is their PURE line. That is some THICK stuff. So give them a try sometime.

[@marumarmalade1212]

I swear, lemme say this HIMI is one of my favorite art brand out there. I LOVE their oil pastels. I know they're famous for their gouache jelly cup but seriously their other stuff good too.

[@esmeralda6556]

Im fascinated, you are an incredible artist, how can you do such a good painting, and the colors choices that you do are amazing. I admire you so muchhh

[@ssavaart]

Thank you so much 😀

[@RuUu-xe]

Diluting acrylics is probably my favorite way to paint if I'm being honest. Getting the perfect blend of water and paint stops the paint coverage from getting sparse and covers the canvas or whatever you're painting on nicely 😊

[@bonnypurac5923]

They look so nice and the painting came up nice as well.

[@alinea8815]

Thank you for Punisher, this show is awesome 🖤

[@cheryl-lynnmehring8606]

[@mogwai_]

I like how even tho it's kinda a product ad, you also learn about art things. Like now I know to try pallet painting with my acrylics

[@Cqat1]

My dad used to be am artist and prefered acrylics WAY over watercolor or guache. It's all just preference and a matter of what and how you paint. Glad to see you find some you enjoy.

[@xanya7923]

Master's Touch and Fine Touch are my favorite acrylics to use. And folkart pretty good too.

[@EllisRowanMaevrick]

Your my fav artist i wish you live a long life ❤️

[@Janxaa]

I love acrylics personally. Although very rarely on a canvas, I like to paint on wood with them. Very textured wood makes the painting so much more special because it would never be the same on ANY other piece of wood. Micheals has slabs of raw tree stump I would recommend, in the same isle as the weird bird houses that the birds will never actually use.

[@animediehard4]

So glad you found some acrylics that work for you! I use acrylic a lot, though Im still mediocre with them, I love it anyway. Hope to see more acrylic art of yours, although your normal watercolors always bring me joy anyways. Thank you for always inspiring me with your videos, it helped me start up my art again, after a couple of deaths in my family in 2019, and the pandemic right after that, I was in a major funk. I still struggle every now and again, but when you're videos pop up, it always brings a smile to my face and lights that inspirational light in my mind again. Thanks again, ~ A huge admirer, J.L.M

[@PurpleHazel]

YOOO WHAT? It looks so good

[@t2cam581]

A good lesson about everything having a use, you just have to find it. Any time you find yourself giving up on a specific medium you should always try to revisit it later from a different perspective! 👍🏻

[@Obsessive_cartoon_drawer]

I loooove acrylics, they’re my go to honestly

[@alicejump2290]

Liquitex heavy body is meant for pallet knife or dimensional painting, I love their regular line as it is so pigmented! Glad you liked this brand as it appears to work like the regular Liquitex!

[@DietDrPepper57877]

Glad you liked them! Never tried them out but seems like some fun.

[@SmilyLily1996]

I like acrylics and have a wide variety of brands, including super cheap and some pricier kinds and the textures are all wildly different. From runny enough to drop out of the tube, to thick like frosting. Mediums can help with the texture a little and mixing with a palette knife instead of brushes if it's too thick and goopy. Usually, the better quality and the more opaque, the thicker the paint is.

[@ellabates9289]

I never enjoyed painting with acrylics ever since I learned to paint with gouache and watercolors. I agree that they are way too thick and hard to work with and i would always buy the expensive stuff in hopes i would like it better but i just never did! Then one day someone gifted me these more affordable target brand acrylics and at first i had my doubts that they would actually work, but when i tried them, I actually enjoyed using them! They weren’t as thick or muddy and actually acted similar to gouache texture wise. I was pleasantly surprised by them! I definitely see myself doing more with acrylics in the future

[@ronnie268]

I use liquitex acrylic paint and their acrylic blending medium makes it so nice I would recommend that to thin them like how you thin these using water

[@personwholikesart.]

Heres a tip for the liquitex! I saw on super rae dizzle you can add cornstarch to your paint and it makes it a better quality! Hope this helped!
