I rarely sit through these videos, but can I just say that this woman is a fantastic teacher

That is so true ✌

[@rubberducky360]

Agreed

[@kaylahouseholder9062]

I have spent 9 hours, NINE HOURS ( 4am-1:20pm) searching for a video on blending and such. Every SINGLE VIDEO I watched was either " blending is so overrated", " ditch the blending and learn to overlap" and so on. Every single video I watched either had something negative to say about blending or completely irrelevant but was labeled as "blending acrylic paints" When I came to your video, I was literally about to give up. I watched the first couple of minutes of it and I was on the edge of my seat! I don't paint. I have very little experience in the painting stuff unless it's color/paint by number or the random "touchup" to my door frames and even those are sad to look at. Your video helped me so much and now, I am finding things in my house to paint. Thank you so much! You earned my "like" a million times and more and you have a new subscriber! You're Awesome!! Please make more videos like this!!

[@TheArtSherpa]

This comment made my day today. I work so hard to make art videos that make painting with acrylics just a little bit easier for new artists. I want to say thank you for hanging in until you found what you needed. I am kinda known for really long Live streaming free art classes BUT I know not everyone has time for that and there are two playlists to follow the Sherpa Short and Start Here. You can always catch a live stream and ask me questions in real time too. The start here playlist is that crazy stuff beginners need to know but nobody tells them. I will include links for both First the sherpa short classes - kzbin.info/aero/PLXUkNk1HRolHCeBDb47qeHMzzuqKXIVs4 And START HERE : kzbin.info/aero/PLXUkNk1HRolGbagACdjVplH9z2JxEgTcQ

I’m determined to paint now because of your positive influence and motivation. I’m excited! I will definitely be watching for the live videos. The longer they are, the more I learn. Thank you!!!

[@margaretleboeuf6765]

Thank you so much!!! I am a beginner to art, at age 67... My mom began at age 40... I have friends who are artists who have encouraged me to just have fun. So I began taking acrylic art classes a couple of years ago. My first teacher was acryllic impressionism... and it set me free from the idea that painting had to be perfect! Thank you for sharing your painting techniques, they help me tremendously! Art is to be enjoyable, an experience to be enjoyed.

YES so much so. 🌼🌼

The glazing method has my brain upside down! Thank you for making these videos so beginner friendly and fun. xo

[@yolandastephens1872]

For teaching a handicapped student - I've used a method to take a very wide damp brush and load the brush with three or more colors. For example to create a blended sky: On the pallet, dobble blue, white, pink, yellow - run the brush across all the "blobs' at one time to pick up all the pigments. With the blue aimed at the top of the painting brush horizontally back and forth until all 3 - 4 colors are laid on the canvas - the back an forth motion blends them. this was very effective because all the paints were wet at the same time and rewarding to the student.

[@KarensMyRealtor]

Awesome, I'm actually taking a BEGINNER art class and the instructor said to do a wash of color for the background. Of course everyone painted their background... she didn't say what a wash was! Then she told me to blend my sky, but didn't tell me how.. grrr, thank you so much for this! The blending techniques, the half step of color, and of course wiping your brush, I kept adding paint and made a mess of blob on my brush! Will never forget this lesson!

Glad this helped. 🖤🖤

[@lindacasey8333]

So fantastic! Thank you for showing me all these different methods. Fun!

[@crystaldawn2708]

My jaw dropped after the dry brush blend method. That took it from a very nice gradient to full blown sunset! Thank you for showing so many tips, as well, I have always struggled with teachers showing only one method of getting to a desired result and it really helps me to learn as many ways to achieve something as possible because everyone is different thus everyone learns best differently! ❤ Edit!: now you're letting us know how to improve a more realistic sunset. You're wonderful for sharing all of this! Thank you so much!

I've only recently started learning to paint with oils. But I've been watching a ton of short acrylic speed paint videos. I always kept thinking to myself that I wouldn't want to paint with acrylics because it looked like the blending process was a pain. This video makes me want to give acrylics a try even more. Because I get frustrated when painting with oils how sometimes I just want to easily paint over a surface but have difficulty getting crisp or fine lines working on top of wet paint. Thanks for the video!
