Thank you for your help
Marion,
I'm 72 years old, and have been "creative" since my 20s, however because of circumstances in childhood, I didn't have very good self esteem, and was told that I did everything wrong. (so I bought into that theory), and have problems even to this day being able to finish my artwork, (or even get started) most of the time.
I always BUY every type of paint (Acrylic, Oils, Watercolors, Pastels, and lots of Brushes, WC Papers, WC Blocks, Canvases, etc. but have a hard time getting myself started.
One thing that has always held me back is that I wanted to "Blend & Shade" with paints, but didn't want to "wait" for Oils to dry!
Thank you sooo much for Sharing this Blending technique, as I believe this will help me just "DO IT"!!! (Get Started)!!!
Sincerely Ed
If everything you did wrong, then you can call yourself an abstract artist. Forget about all that self-esteem stuff, if you like what you paint is all you need.
Also you might want to look up some videos on "scumbling" another acrylic painting technique, which is a good way to blend acrylics.
I am pleased - go give it a go you might just surprise yourself! Good luck and enjoy - most of all enjoy (and don't let those doubters put you off a rewarding hobby - if I had listened to people I wouldnt be doing this job, thank goodness I didnt listen because now I have the most rewarding job I could have ever wished for.
i have a beautifull room full of everything I need to paint, draw or anything else its all here I cant even pick up a piece to practice I begin to cry if I think I may start how do you get over the blank feelings to the other side
MazArtStudio can you tell me the names of each please or did I miss something...thank you for sharing this...I hope many find this and I will share This as well...I do believe many have this problem and your idea will help so much..
LOVED watching your, "Silent Night" tutorial...I used acrylics so it took a second attempt, unfortunately because my sky was a hopeless mess, but loved your instructions and your lovely accent! Painting is very therapeutic for me but I struggle with some areas...wish you had more tutorials! Thanks so much for taking your time to provide such exceptional instruction for free.
Thank you so much! I'm ready to work on my sky to add some moonlight, (similar to your Silent Night tutorial). I have both mediums, and this video was perfect timing!
I just mixed up some and it’s really amazing how much easier it blends! Thankyou so much! Maybe it’s finally time to ask for your course as a Bday present.
Hi Maz, thank you for all your tips, very well filmed and explained. I also love those glass pots from the Sweets counter at Sainsburys, the deserts are expensive but the glass pots they come in are great.
I never thought about mixing the two let alone painting it onto the canvas! Thank you!
Happy to help!
Great to know tnk u. I've been away from painting a while due to surgery cant wait to try this
Maz is one of the best art tutors x
Works well maz, I am sure you have told me before about this method, but as usual it was something that went on the back burner, But will pass it on to others,
luv ur Amazing Paintingssss!!!Fantastic;;;Superb!!!!Remarkable!
Thank you so much. Can't wait to try it.
very great lesson ,n great job thank you so much
Wonderful tip
Thank you!!
i just found your video and am glad i did. i bought both of the items you use and tried them out yesterday. works wonderfully and i tried with liquid and tube watercolors and love it. i just need to try with my acrylic paints as well.
again, thanks for the very helpful tip.
glad you liked it. I dont use this gel with watercolour tho - only with acrylic.
I use a hair dryer to quicken the drying of my acrylic paints so I can do layers of washes or whatever painting I need to do over that layer. I love acrylics because they dry quickly.
I know this is old but hopefully you see my message because Im so intrigued by your comment. When you say "washes" are you painting thin watery layers almost like water colors? Or are you using a solvent or something like paint thinner to thin the paints?
@@HoneeyBee3 I usually just use water to thin my paints. Washes are acrylic paint thinned down with water ( or another acrylic medium that is more liquid) usually thinner like water colors. But, with acrylics even if it's thicker sometimes I use a hair dryer to quicken the dry time so I can paint over more layers or details that I want to do instead of waiting for it to dry. Acrylic dries faster than oils, but, still if I'm working on something I want to continue painting and not wait 10-15 minutes for it to dry. Also making sure it dries thoroughly makes sure the moisture of the next paint won't lift any of the paint from the dried layer.
@@julienielsen3746 I see, thank you!! I tried doing washes with water and sometimes the pigment doesnt fully adhere or lifts up when I paint another layer. I thought washing with water was impossible unless the cobsistency was a thicker texture, which of course limits the transparency. So I thought maybe I needed a flowing agent instead. But your explantion helped! Maybe my layers just aren't dry enough before another thin watery layer goes down, even though it feels dry to the touch even when I wait at least 15 to 20 minutes. So I will try the dryer technique! If that doesnt work, maybe I just need better acrylics! 😂
@@HoneeyBee3 I used to wait hours until I painted another layer before I found out that drying with a hair dryer sets the paint so it can be worked on. I've always used Liquitex or some better acrylics. So, I'm not sure if it's the quality. I would think it would work even with basic acrylic paints.
How do you make sure the new layers and all their wetness don't lift off the previous thin layers?
Going to have to try your 'mix'. Thank you for the tip
Thank you- great tip!
looks really nice!
Beautiful work
Looking Good !!!!
Beautiful thank's
Great tips!
Thank you Maz for your hints and tips, it is time that i got back to do my art mediums once more as i have been away from for many years, as i was doing computer art far too long and bad for the eyes. keep up the good work.
Thank you ☺️
Great tip thanks
Perfect thank's.
great idea to blend the 2
Happy New Year and Congratulations.
vraiment super merci
Great tip. Thank you. New subscriber. 🎨😷
Thanks so much for the tip!!
you are welcome
God Bless you!! I am a newbie at paint and have this issue with acrylic they dry to fast on me, but now I know what to do....
You are welcome this tip is so helpful if you struggle with blending.
Nice painting
Many thanks
Excellent tips!
Glad you like them!
In fact, I think highly of your talent and creativity.
Would please make a tutorial about how to make gold, silver and copper colors?
Hi, thank you so much for this rip!
I’m new to painting and have been so frustrated with the drying time of acrylics. I can’t seem to paint fast enough yet. I noticed you added the flow improver straight from the bottle. From the directions on my liquitex flow aid it says to mix it 20(water)/1(flow aid). So am I right in assuming you did not dilute your flow improver? Thanks in advance.
Very nice
Very good
Thank you.
I could listen to you talk all day
The most useful tool that changed my life is the wet palette, it was a before and after for me.
Spring here is just starting and i already sweat while being still just from existing, but my palette from yesterday is still nice and wet c:
Absolutely a stay wet palette is a must
انت مبدعة واعمالك ممتازة
mahalo great tip!
Bonjour Marion je suis tres fan de vos peinture et de vos toturiels j'aimerais bien qu'il n'y un peu plus car je suis debutante en peinture et j'aimerais beaucoup apprendre et voir vos techniques encore , superbe vos tableau je suis fan a cent pour cents
One can also buy propylene glycol and mixes a drop or two with the acrilyc paint to extended the time of drying
I paint with just acrylics (grumbacher) anf have followed along with 2 of your lessons...silent night and the one with the mountains in the back and only had a wee trouble with the clouds on the mountain one...I love your tutorials you are amazing...thank you so much....quick ? Do you just use linseed with your normal acrylic paints is that oil painting ??
Linseed is only for oils ☺️
tHANK YOU, i NEEDED TO UNDERSTAND THIS MEDIUM
You are welcome 🤗. I’ve a new acrylic class coming to RUclips soon. Keep your eyes 👀 peeled 😊
Is one of the mediums like Flow-aid or very thin but there are so many different gels & which kind do you use? Extending drying time & mixing two sounds like good mixture. Ty
can you pleas show the list of the materials you used.
You make me giggle 😆. But that does look like it will work most definitely
Thank you ☺️. Glad I entertained you lol I had a few giggles doing this.
Iam just wondering,, could I varnish my acrylic painting with lineseed oil?
bravoooooooooo...........
zerib ahmed beauty of oil painting
Thanks for sharing this tip, Maz. My question thought would be, does the medium work the same with any acrylic paint brand, such as with Liquitex Basics, or Grumbacher?
I have used mixed brands successfully. I've also used one brand for the fluid and a different brand for the gel. Still works. 😄
Thanks for the great tip.
I was struggling with acrylic painting as dried up so quickly.💞
I stopped using mediums.. I try to paint fast and I use water for my acrylics
Thank you so very much for this informative video ... have been wondering how to be able to "blend" my Acrylics like they were Oils - without having to resort to changing my paints TO Oils. Am wanting to go out now and get those two mediums to mix. But, is it 60% thick to 40% thin? Also, will it work as well if you make it a 50-50 blend? Thanks for any advice you can give.
I am glad you liked the lesson. You can play around with the consistency - start with a 50:50 split and then adjust according to your own art style.
Thank you for this tutorial. I'm an oil painter and have tried to make the transition to acrylics, but because they're so different I haven't bee successful.
Same here. I'm having a hard time.
Just paint fast, I can do any Bob Ross painting with acrylic and just water.
The only thing I can't do with acrylic is thin layers. Like in portraits. It looks dull when you thin it, not enough pigment.
Oils layer nicely and show a depth of color that I can't get with acrylic.
Acrylics are not as fine as oil.
The layers look rougher.some colors are too opaque and don't show the colors underneath, never looks as nice as oil.
I don't do oil cause I know artist that died from oil painting, cancer.
Would this keep in a small jar without drying out...don't have one of those containers spare :-)
This is very helpful! Thank you for sharing!
Lydia Langford Joiner you aww welcome glad you found it helpful
What brand are these. Can I get them in USA
Would you need to use a Gesso for a base as well , I’ve watched a lot of Bob Ross and that base you made looks like it would enable a Bob Ross style painting to be done
There is a Blending medium now from Liquidtex: it's suppose to increase wetting time for acrylics.
Hello!
How much time does this add to the acrylic dry time approximately?
I have been watching your videos all weekend and I really enjoy your style of teaching! I'm looking forward to more of your in depth, paint along videos!
+Karen Clark Hi Karen - it buys you a little bit more time - but you still need to work quickly with acrylics. It also depends on how thickly you apply the paste. if you feel it getting a bit sticky add a touch of water to keep it open a little longer. hope this helps. just play around till you learn the "feel" of the paste - sticky and pulling you either add a touch of water OR you dry off with hairdryer then re-paste the area.
Ok, I'll give it a try. Thank you for the response!
Hello,
A big thank you for all your tutorial, especially not to any video. You gave me the desire to paint and I'm very happy. Especially continued it's only happiness.
Marie Ange from Belgium,
Translation from French into English by Google.
Hi Maz, I just made up some of the above gel. But in my box of tricks I've found a glazing medium could you tell me what this is for please. Sheila.
You can use it in the same way - it will add a glossy finish to your work. - you can also use it to add thin layers of colour to your work.
Wow she’s beautiful!!
מקסים
In this case, would you use oil brushes with the acrylic paints or just stick with acrylic brushes ? Thanks -
Ann R. Stick with acrylic brushes 😁.
I want it
Thanks for the video..! the only problem i am facing is how to make the paint look shine during blending somehow it loses the brightness ..tried some mediums but still the colors looks like dead..maybe i missing something ? actually i am using golden artist colors, any advice? thank you
Yossi Bitton acrylic dries much flatter than acrylics however once you are happy with your painting and it’s dried I varnish it with a few coats of semi Matt varnish. That lifts it up and makes it looks brighter.
thanks for quick reply, yes, i did try the varnish before, it only gives brightness on the surface but it doesn't high light the "dead" under layer that was already painted.. maybe I am more into oil colors (for 15 years) not so experienced with acrylic technique, ? do I miss something or any else? thank you
Do you have a link for the Acrylic flow improver? Or what name brand it is, I can't tell in the video. Thanks!
Go to the Winsor & Newton site and look at acrylic mediums.
I have only seen jell medium in a jelly form and not liquid. Help! It is in a jar.
36oC here today. Drying time drastically reduced. Must paint faster. ENERGY!
haha well usually England doesnt have that problem ;-)
MazArtStudio
That's true. I live in the South of Spain though. Cooled down a little since leaving that comment. Take care.
@@MazArtStudio I live in Thailand and it's 90 degrees every day. Acrylics dry on my brush and on my wet pallet in ten minutes or less some days. Some colours do last longer, but some dry extremely quickly
I have to mix the one colour I need, slap it on quickly and maybe have a couple of minutes after that and then the paint on the pallet is bone dry and the paint on the brush has started to turn to clay inside the strands of the brush.
Needless to say I'm very keen to alter this annoying situation and so I will try and purchase the flow improver and the gel that you've mentioned here in the video
Trouble is I don't ever remember seeing either of these products here in Thailand. So, may I ask is there anything else, any other more, common and readily available substance that I could use as a substitute
Kind regards - Chris in Thailand - WWW.100Temptations.com
@@RichardKing4U I am not really sure sorry, these products are readily available online, and once you mix them they last ages so might be worth buying online?
@@MazArtStudio I've just discovered on the internet today that some guys have used propylene glycol, to solve the problem. But I've no idea if I can buy that here in Thailand. But in any case I'd rather stick with your idea because you say it works really well. Oh, and may I thank you for your very quick reply. It was very good of you I'm 73 now and I paint every day, so that I can make a bit of extra cash to eek out my "frozen pension" I sold one yesterday "Tommies in Flanders - I sold it the day I finished it. There's a lovely restaurant (Finnegans in Ban Chang) a mile away that shows four or five of my paintings and I've discovered that the military theme gets lots of attention due to many ex commandos, paras, SAS, SBS and US Marines & Rangers. They're a brilliant bunch many in their 50's 60's & 70's Maybe you'd like to have a quick look - WWW.100Temptations.com

Is this like a version of liquid clear for acrylics
Yea kind of. But these days I use golden open medium in gloss. This is a pretty old video.
how much longer does it extend the drying time?
It really depends so its hard to give exacts - depends on thickness of paint etc. BUT it definitely helps slow things down enough so you can get soft blends. You do need to be quicker with acrylic but this does help :-) practise and play around see what you think :-)
Do you only use the linseed oil for oil paintings? Not for acrylic paintings?
Thank you.
+Shavauna Ronan Linseed oil is just for oil paintings. Its pretty much compared to using water, or a medium for acrylics
+Shavauna Ronan correct - linseed oil ONLY for oil paintings.
Is it 40 % Flow Improver and 60 % Slow drying med gel. Not fast enough to get it. Thanks so much
Theresa Perdue it’s about that much but go off the feel. You are looking for a fluid gel consistency.
Rewind the video. Lol
@@lindascraftycreations4860 sad thing is I did it 3 times... these old eyes.
Film stars portraits
You didn’t mention what kind of liquid or medium used in your video.
What are the names of your mediums?
Hi I hold the products up during the video.
what are the major problems you face as an artist, what are the things that should changed, developed regarding art
Please do help me by answering as I wanna bring change in the field which colors the globe
Anticipating your response
Do you have a technique for glazing acrylic paint that will show depth of layers of. Color similar to oil paint glazing?
My acrylic glazing with water ,not as fine like oil paint.
Also when ghosting a color over a opaque color it's not as fine as oil paints, such as space scenes or for lights.
I'm not getting the results of oil paints or airbrushing, both of which are bad for your health.
Use an acrylic glazing medium rather than water to thin down your paint.
@@MazArtStudio yes, that makes sense I'll try it. I'll get better thx.
Mist is what????
When you use a mop brush for blending ...do you just leave it on the side till you need it again in perhaps an hour? Doesn't the paint dry on it and turn it hard? But if you leave it in water you can't softly blend properly with a wet brush. I can't work out what to do!! 🤣
I dip the tips into the water and then fluff back up in a clean paper towel. If you use a mop properly then the tips only should get dirty - clean as I have suggested and then it stays fluffed up till you need it again. You are right it will go hard if you leave acrylic on it so doing the above prevents that. BUT wetting it through is not great because it doesn't do much blending when it is too wet - just smears. I hope this helps
MazArtStudio Thank you, yes it does.
Still the prettiest woman thats ever painted.
Thank you ☺️
Rather meet with you in person one day
To be quite honest the speed you blended the colours no acrylics I've used would have dried.
The worst problem with acrylics is the change in hue as they dry because binder is white when is wet but becomes transparent when it dries.
Yes they can be difficult to judge colours.
ارجو ان ترسلي لي مجموعة من الفرش ومجموعة من الوان الجميلة لان في بلدي توجد انواع رديئه اذا موافقة سارسل لك عنواني وشكرا
This recipe is against Liquitex's recommendation of using a flow aid - you're not supposed to use more than 25% of the additive or it'll compromise the acrylic painting.
Unfortunately the video is 2:55 long, but at 2:35 three LARGE thumbs of your other videos pop-up, and what you are trying to show us is barely viewable.
Try this longer length tutorial it covers some extra points too. ruclips.net/video/0RM9dokBeMc/видео.html
Not really helpful if you don't explain what kind of canvas or paint you are using.

How long does it extend the drying time for?
Depending on how thick your paint is a few extra mins but if you check out my top tips on acrylic you can spritz and get lot longer.
