Fantastic tips! Beautifully done. Thank you.

Thank you Debbie 🙂

[@toniblackmore3016]

Happy New Year! This is FANTASTIC! And quite mesmerizing. The tip about relaxing the painting hand seems intuitively right. Prone to holding things with a death grip I’ve had to learn this lesson *so* many times - from piping royal icing to using wood carving tools. Very grateful for the reminder, and somewhat exasperated with myself for forgetting. Yet again. Haven’t tried anything portrait like yet, so a realistic and detailed like this tutorial is a huge help. Thanks so much.

[@paintingandchocolate]

Thank you Toni, glad it helps, and happy new year to you too!

oh shit if I could paint hair like this, yes please. I literally avoid hair at all cost. kind of like I avoid painting hands lol

[@paintingandchocolate]

I know hands are said to be hard! Give hair a try, just a strand to begin with, you can hardly go wrong with my tips because it's a process where you can take breaks easily and correct if you need to unlike wet in wet work.

[@margiekinney4721]

It looks like you are using a pen or it is just you are holding brush like a pencil? You can tell I am a beginner.

[@paintingandchocolate]

I use a round brush that has a fine tip so it could look like a pen 🙂

[@thetwelve5922]

to save pain I always make hain abstract cus its sooo hardd!!...

[@paintingandchocolate]

I understand. it is time consuming but I see what you mean 🙂 I personally love detail and spending time refining my paintings so it doesn't bother me.

[@aynureibrhimova8201]

😍

[@nehaparveen5844]

What kind of brush you use...

[@paintingandchocolate]

Look in the description of this video and you will see the names and links to everything I use 🙂

[@annajoy6357]

i own the same brush but in size 4 and 12. these brushes keep shedding in my painting and was wondering if that was just because my brushes were defective or if there is something i'm missing...

[@paintingandchocolate]

I haven't had this problem at all with them and been using them heavily for quite a while, maybe it's a defect with yours in particular?

[@chellappandiansp7787]

Great tips ☺️😊👍👌 like if u agree
