I would love to see the difference between glazing mediums vs water! I haven't played around much with glazing mediums as of yet. I'd love to watch you take a crack at it
Beautiful painting process of the Sun Conure. I used to own one named Boogie Bird, as he loved to dance. I love the easy to follow steps you go through in teaching. Thanks!
Not only are you a fantastic artist you are also a super trainer! I greatly enjoy how you showed us how to mix the colors and create a 3d painting. I look forward to seeing more of your creative talents. Thank you very much my Friend!
Been using this technic with my self taught water colour paintings but didn’t know it’s call glazing. I just know it helps to make my painting looks nicer.
Thank you so much for this tutorial and sharing your work. I'd like to apply what I've learned. I have a Q: what is the difference between these 2? Golden Acrylic Glazing Liquid and Liquitex BASICS Matte Fluid Medium? Do they do the same? Can you please have a demo on how to use them? Thank you so much!!! Beautiful work you have!!!
If you add too much water to acrylic paint, the paint won’t adhere to a surface because you’ve thinned out the binder. Golden Glazing Liquid (Gloss/Matte/Satin) contains an acrylic binder so mixing it with paint increases transparency and flow of paint whilst maintaining stability. The more medium you add, the more transparent it becomes. Liquitex Basics Fluid Medium (Gloss/Matte) is very similar.
I had heard that thinning out acrylics with water too much would not allow the paint to grip and that it could fail and flake or peel later on. Now I have seen videos that show that it is a myth and that it's ok to use the water. Your painting is very beautiful.
I learnt a lot from this thank you… I don’t feel disappointed anymore about buying some acrylic paints online before I knew anything about the different levels of transparency aspect and I was starting to regret my purchase lol. I would like to paint flowers but wondering if using a different mid tone pastel colour base colour would work in the same way as the grey? Kind regards and thank you from a new sub from Australia🐨🇦🇺💙🎨
I actually use a similar technique! Never knew what I was doing precisely. I paint wood with watercolor pencils. Starting from base colors directly on wood, I separate the zones with different tones, just as if I am drawing on paper. Then I add shadows and darker colors. The next step is adding the actual midtones, by putting white acrylics in the right places (all except shadow zones). I adjust the opacity of the white depending on the intensity I want colors to have later. Lighter points will have the fullest white. Then it's up to watercolors: I put them with the pencils and then melt with water. Add multiple layers if needed, but best is at least 2. Final step is adding even more white back again if needed, to give a more 3d effect, and then other colors on top of that if needed. I was kind of making glazing without knowing it and with no tutorial whatsoever? Came up with this technique during years.
Around 1:30 you go from painting white on a stained canvas to an underpainting with deep shadows/ outlines (especially in the tail and wings). Did you glaze in those dark parts or just paint them in? Cool vid!
Ugh, I desperately need to try this. I've never been good at acrylics, but I really want to try it. I just can't finance it right now. And I don't know when or if I'll ever be able to. I've always worked in either oils or watercolor, but I never really put my efforts into acrylic and I feel I really missed out.
I have learned so much from your videos, thank you. I do have a question or two. Is there a reason you are painting this bird horizontally as opposed to vertically on an easel or wall? Also, at timestamp 1:34 - You start the "Saturated colors glazing step", I didn't catch it the first few times I've watched this, but I noticed this time, after blocking in the under painting with white, you put in shadows in a dark brown/black before adding your colors. If it's not too much trouble, what color(s) did you use for that portion of your under painting and was this also glazed or not. Thanks so much, I really love your work. God Bless.
Do you have any videos on your airbrushing techniques? I’m thinking about getting one and I’m not sure how to use it in acrylic painting. And I can’t find any information on it.
Late to the party with this but can this technique be used on paper thats meant for acrylic painting? Or will this affect the better and is it better on a canvas?
Can you make tutorials using liquitex basic acrylic colors to paint wildlife.. because i can afford that brand only and i am unable to figure out how to use those runny thin colors
I don’t have those paints, but sennelier do a range of paints called abstract and they are the same price if not cheaper than the liquitex basics and are a better, thicker paint. they are what I use in most of my artworks
New to painting. The language is confusing me. I thought glazing with color was something one did once painting was done.... What i got from this (great) video is to paint transparent base layers then add more opaque layers ......is this core?
It definitely can, I have a video in oils with a similar process ruclips.net/video/53CfobqaE9s/видео.html&si=XVQmC6-aqJFOL99y , or in acrylics how I paint a human eye using similar techniques ruclips.net/video/pmL-GH-yv8E/видео.html&si=z8aSPACu9YdFYvZv
Does youre patreon show more step by step paintings? I've been obsessed with youre tiger paintings and would like to master it. Join youre patreon will that help??
Some of them do, they are videos of me narrating my process in real time, talking through the colours, brushes and techniques I am using. So some of them can be 2-3 hours long perfect for painting along with. I am also planning a few tiger pieces so more videos will be added throughout the year
I struggle to get more than 1 or 2 "lines" with one load of paint. What am I doing wrong. You seem to make a lot of lines without reloading with paint. Please help
Hi there, thought I'd step in as I struggled for quite some time with this. I found the key to be loading a lot of diluted paint through most of the body of the bristles (being careful not to get paint on the ferrule). That way the paint continues to run down to the tip of the bristles as you're working. You may need to do a second layer due to the dilution but this gives you much more control. Hope this helps!
Nice video, but failed a bit by not showing realtime closeups of the different painting techniques on the paintings. Whatever closeups we got went by too quickly. Video felt very rushed.
Do you use glazing in your work? I'd love to hear some of the tips or tricks you might use in your own paintings!
I would love to see the difference between glazing mediums vs water! I haven't played around much with glazing mediums as of yet. I'd love to watch you take a crack at it
I would love to see more very detailed videos on your glazing method. Thanks.
This is genius! Thank you for sharing your process and explaining things very clearly
BEST video ever!!! You broke everything down and simplified it so that it is all very understandable!!
Best overall video I have ever seen. Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Interesting systematic approach to building up the painting. Thank you.
Fantastic! Thank you for a precise and excellently explained tutorial and demonstration. Your work is beautiful.

This method of painting really speaks to me. I've got to give it a try! Thank you for the demo.
I really love your artwork. I definitely think glazing with a pouring medium is so much better than glazing with water though.
Thanks you for sharing 🥰🙏
Fantastic!! I think I'll be using glazing more often now. I'll do anything to make realism easier. Thank you!!
Dear Sir , I was not in search of this depth of information, however, your paintings are simply EXQUISITE !!!!! I am SO fascinated. Thank you !
I think a video about consistency of paint with water and/or glazing medium would be helpful.
Thank you for such a helpful video! Your cheetah painting looks beautiful with the lights around it!
This explanation has helped me so much. I can do values fine but I struggle with doing colour and value together right away.
Thank you. Sometimes i put thin glazing and when is wet put some white tissue or folded newspaper to make more interesting texture.
Wow 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Sir, you're unstoppable😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Nice paintings💓💓
Thank you very much!
Been using this technic with my self taught water colour paintings but didn’t know it’s call glazing. I just know it helps to make my painting looks nicer.
Pls make video on glazing medium versus water so that we can know the better option
This was very helpful and informative. Thank you. Your work is beautiful.
I recently started using acrylics for the first time and have been struggling. Your video was very informative and extremely helpful, thank you!
THis is soooooo helpful. Thank YOU!!!
Quick but came away with a lot!
Very helpful - thanks!
Excellent, thanks!
thank you very much for this video!!!)
You are welcome! thanks for watching
Thank you so much, I love it………❤❤❤❤
Excellent 😊
top tip: keep two different pots of water, one for washing brushes and one for making the paint more transparent
Very helpful! Thank you! LOVE your artwork!! :)
VERY CUTE.

Nice painting. This bird is called a Sun Conure
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you so much for this great video! May I ask if your beautiful bird was initially drawn on the canvas with paint or other?
I have learned so much from your videos, thank you. I do have a question or two. Is there a reason you are painting this bird horizontally as opposed to vertically on an easel or wall? Also, at timestamp 1:34 - You start the "Saturated colors glazing step", I didn't catch it the first few times I've watched this, but I noticed this time, after blocking in the under painting with white, you put in shadows in a dark brown/black before adding your colors.

I would like to hear about glazing mediums compared to using water to glaze.
Hey love your work. Want to learn to paint wild cats and birds from you. Will you teach ? Thanks.
Have you ever used Golden High Flow or Fluid paints for glazing?
❤❤❤
Does a glazing always start after painting your paint black and white ? (with values)
Thanks
I learned some time back not to paint dark and opaque underpainting.
All the subtle layers only happen with the light from underneath.
Yes, that's true! ❤️ 👏 👏 👏
First comment
Do you have any videos on your airbrushing techniques? I’m thinking about getting one and I’m not sure how to use it in acrylic painting. And I can’t find any information on it.

Did you paint your canvas a light grey before drawing the bird and branch? The white paint in stage 1 shows up more than it would on a white canvas.
Yes, he said that in 0:35. And the canvas was pretty gray too. 🙂
Can you make tutorials using liquitex basic acrylic colors to paint wildlife.. because i can afford that brand only and i am unable to figure out how to use those runny thin colors
I don’t have those paints, but sennelier do a range of paints called abstract and they are the same price if not cheaper than the liquitex basics and are a better, thicker paint. they are what I use in most of my artworks
Dude, id marry you!
New to painting. The language is confusing me. I thought glazing with color was something one did once painting was done....
What i got from this (great) video is to paint transparent base layers then add more opaque layers ......is this core?
Glazing is just layering with transparent color(s). It can be done at any stage of painting.
Can this method be used in portraits of humans?
It definitely can, I have a video in oils with a similar process ruclips.net/video/53CfobqaE9s/видео.html&si=XVQmC6-aqJFOL99y , or in acrylics how I paint a human eye using similar techniques ruclips.net/video/pmL-GH-yv8E/видео.html&si=z8aSPACu9YdFYvZv

What brushes do you use?
Here’s a video with the brushes I use ruclips.net/video/LulcufMeULw/видео.html
Why would you need so many colours?
Nice video, but failed a bit by not showing realtime closeups of the different painting techniques on the paintings. Whatever closeups we got went by too quickly. Video felt very rushed.
The real time footage of the entire process is available to my patreon community if anyone wants longer real time tutorials 😁
Pity about the irritating background music. not needed.
