    Enjoyed these videos thank you. Are you allowing drying time between layers? Can you explain why the glazing liquid is important in the whites and not other colours. Subscribed now and will be following. I mostly paint in oil, so mixed media is still foreign to me.

    • @kathleen_rietz_artist
      @kathleen_rietz_artist День назад

      HI there! Thanks for your questions. I paint alla prima, so no, I don't let my layers dry before continuing. My videos are pretty much in real time, (with some editing of unimportant things like adding more paint to my palette). Also, I use glazing liquid whenever I want to create glazes, not only when using white paint. Thanks for subscribing. Happy painting!

    Happy new year to you Kathleen ❤ I love Hydrangeas! Love your relaxed style. I started a large painting a few months ago and today felt like working on it again. So much fun! I started by watching a few of your videos for inspiration, then while listening to a podcast just paint intuitively and remembering a few of your tip! Thank you for being here on RUclips, I appreciate your work of art! I seem to lean towards impressionisme but often flick back to realism with a bit of abstract in the mix! As you mentioned that one’s style is created with continuous practice. I’m being kinder to myself by just enjoying the journey 😊

    Thanks, Kathleen -- just discovered this video and your channel. I don't work in acrylics, but will likely try my hand at your techniques to see if I can get to like acrylics better, I so agree with what you say about letting time and painting experience guide you in finding your own style. IMHO it will establish itself / make itself known..

    How do you keep your paint so creamy? I know you use glazing medium to make your background transparent and dreamy but I do that and I never get that creaminess like you do. Maybe I'm using the wrong ratio either too much glazing medium or not enough I'm just not sure.
