      @@GregLowmanArt check out channels Chuck Black and color by felix. Your works are beautiful. If you have full length lessons would have more views.
      Also...have something in the title to catch beginners looking to learn to paint.
      A channel acrylic techniques...he used to have his name I sent him an email and told him to change the title to acrylic techniques and he's got over a million views within a year.. he doesn't even talk...well he doesn't speak good English so he just paints and use to have a robot voice but now just paints with writing of colors. I also suggested he'd do fast easy pieces he just started the channel called WOW and has over a million subs...sells every piece for 100usd they sell immediately like hot cakes.
      Just some feedback.
      Acrylic lessons..
      Acrylic painting
      Popular lessons...clouds...skies with clouds...sunsets...
      Waves...cherry trees...landscapes
      Moonlit...night scenes ..northern lights...color attacks the eye.
      I found your channel looking at the thumbnail of the beautiful blue on canvas on easel the blending acrylic like oils. The color is what got the eye.
      Don't want to sound like telling artist what to do but if you want to make it on RUclips
      Also the art sherpa I gave her advise 2 yrs ago now she's a millionaire.
      I enjoy helping others a retired consultant that's very I'll and enjoy watching painting and helping others. I know it's alot of work involved for artists.
      The guy from WOW art actually learned to paint from a RUclips channel he's now a fulltime artist for 3 yrs and making good money from his country.
      If I had the chance I'd do it. I hope you go for it
      Colors that attract the eye and subject matter. Sell your pieces on Ebay or Ebay from RUclips.
      Many want to sell for alot of money and I get why. But its quantity. Demand ...if your sell for auction they will sell if you can attract the eye using color and of course content. If you want tosell the painting after lessons put up on esty and say the size is 9/12 for 130.00 if you sold each one it's worth it.
      WOW art didn't believe me that he could seel from his country I told him to try he wanted to paint 14/18 I told him too big. He went with 12/12 I said too big but they sold. He's now doing 8/8 which only is good because of the subjects he paints it fits.
      Anyway wish you luck.

    After 10 years of painting mud pictures i am convinced that to be a painter you must have the ability to "see" in your mind's eye what you are creating and be aware of the actions that you are committing to canvas.
    I am resigned to the fact that i couldn't paint a kitchen door if my life depended on it.
    But I will keep watching guys like you and Mural Joe and the Sherpa and those Russian masters and maybe i'll splash random colours onto a huge canvas and sell it for a zillion bucks.

    • @GregLowmanArt
      @GregLowmanArt  4 года назад

      I tried to keep the first few layers as wet as I could and worked quickly so that I could get it as blended as possible while avoiding harsh edges. Try thicker amounts of paint, water, and a flow-aid thinner to help with that.

    Is this wet on wet or do you wait for each layer to dry before painting again?
