Finding out about retarders has been such a life saver bc acrylic usually dries way too fast to blend for me and oil dries wayy too slowly and I like to get my paintings done quickly 😂😂
This looks easy but I really struggle blending I hate messing up it again and again
It is easy. Just play with it. Have fun lighten up, it will come. Joy is the key
HOLY HELL THIS WAS INFINITELY USEFUL, THANK YOU!!!
Your painting blows me away, what a cracking painting. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for this. I do agree that it's all trial and error, some things turn out wonderful right off the bat, other times it's a struggle. Even if it's the same type of thing you paint...funny how that works.
The lighting in this painting is so beautiful! Anything backlit with rim light or dappled light makes a painting much more emotional to me. Even more so than all the wee details! So excited to finally be able to become a Patron! I’m not a painter, I started wildlife art with colored pencils and this year I’m trying to learn pastels. So I figured I might as well see what I think of acrylic painting! Thanks Daniel for your time and talent you share!
Thanks again Daniel 😃
The video really helped to understand how to blend arylics and tells me that I‘ve to try this out too.
That painting is stunning, wow
Wow! That painting is so pretty! I wish I can be that talented one day!
This is by far the best video on blending acrylics that I've seen. Very informative and very well organized. Thank you!
What an amazing painting!
Wow! You’re very talented! I love this painting!
It looks so pettable. Beautiful painting and thanks for the tips!!
Thank you, this helps a bunch! 🔥
glazing is one of my favorite blending technique. It's great for layering fur. I also like to use clear medium between layers. It gives another dimension of depth.
You are simply the best⭐️💎
One day, in this life time, I hope I would be able to paint and draw well like you do. I really appreciate your beautiful work!
Dude you are one of the best wildlife painters on youtube, I appreciate your tutorials and have been following you for a long time. 👍👏
ThAnk you so much , you tips help so much. I paint wildlife and love it.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I will never paint as good as you, but you help me want to try harder.

Awesome.
Thank you for mentioning acrylic retarder. Nobody else seems to mention it? 😊 in fact i've watched loads of these types of videos and yours is by far the best for detailed info.❤
Excellent 👌👌👌
Amazing😍👍
Great tutorial. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm sure you've been told today, but can't hurt to tell you again;
Your talent is exceptional & so helpful!
Such useful information here, have you tried a fine mist Sprayer to keep the canvas wet for blending and a large makeup powder brush. Works great with some practice
My goddness- this is absolutely stunning artwork, and a brilliant video with great techniques! ❤ Thank you so much for sharing this! 🙏
Thanks for the quick, insightful video sharing these blending techniques. After hearing the segment on glazing, I'm left wondering: What is the difference between "glazing" and in using a "wash"? Are they just different terms applied to mixing various amounts of water into paint until it's at least somewhat transparent (like how 'downpour' and 'drizzle' both mean rain)? Regarding the acrylic medium- I recently started learning to airbrush and there are products in a family of "tools" called "extenders" which can either be purchased as only an extender, or they also come pre-mixed with "reducers". For anyone unfamiliar with these, the extender is a water-like liquid makes the paint dry more slowly, but definitely not on the scale of adding weeks, and a "reducer" lowers the viscosity of the paint, making it more liquid-y so it will flow/ move much more freely. It is essentially like adding water to the paint, except it doesn't affect the color, and it can be used in higher ratios to get some transparency and when applied with paint brush techniques (instead of airbrushing), it results in something that leans toward what I previously would have called a "wash". I didn't know to look for acrylic medium, so I had no idea it even existed, which let me practice a fair amount with the extender/reducer and applying via bristle-brushes, and I've gotten some really nice interactions and results using a combination extender/ reducer. Just wanted to share my experience with this in case it's more suited for anyone's purposes.
Thanks a lot! 💙
Your artwork is incredible, thank you for taking the time to share your talent and technique! What brushes are you using in this video? I want to splurge and buy myself some quality brushes.
Usually you use various retarding agents that keep paint wet longer to extend blending time
So much better than dropping acrylic on paper and blowing it with a hair dryer
I wish I discovered your channel sooner.
Thank you
This is so informative. Thank you. I’m having so much trouble painting a rainbow trout fish😩all videos are time lapsed. Your work is beautiful
I watch the time lapsed videos at 0.25 speed . Just click the setting icon on the bar under the video and change the speed. I also pause sometimes to get the details.
@@MaxDeVoe thank you
So beautiful amazing, I want to paint for my son his white Husky Barbarian blues eye
I think sir you are definitely an animal lover😊
I use acrylics on watercolour paper (Fabriano artistico HP 300lb) instead of canvas. They are indeed very challenging to blend. I usually cheat for the blended backgrounds and use an airbrush and just put usual watered down acrylic through it lol.. The Golden open acrylics are meant to stay wetter a bit longer. Have you tried those?
You are a terrific teacher!
I use a hair dryer to get my paint to dry fast between layers. Like when I want to glaze over it.
LOVELY STUNNING BEAUTIFUL 🐯 THANK YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME
Thank you for sharing! I tried painting a dog portrait using acryllics, I wanted to try because acryllics dry quickly therefore one can layer and work sooo much faster compared to oils, but I have to say that I do find oil paints to look just thaaaat much better when it's dry, do you feel the same?
This is excellent, thank you!
I’m surprised to hear that the retarder extended drying time for weeks. A popular video by another channel said it gives us a few more minutes max.
How long does heavy bodied paint (Liquitex/Golden) take to tack up and dry completely on canvas with 10% acrylic retarder additive? Cheers x
The retarder extends the time on the palette for weeks (so I don’t have to keep on mixing my colours every day) not the drying time on the canvas, on the canvas it is only a few more minutes. I’ve never tried it with those paints but if I find out I’ll let you know!
On the 1st one for blending you said use a dry brush are the two colours still wet when you blend with a dry brush
Does the flow extender or flow retarder alter the finish of the paint? I like to work with flat acrylic or acrylic gouache.
❤❤❤❤
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I wish you will post again an another video of drawing using charcoal.
I’m planning a few new charcoal pieces 👍
Hi! I Just joined your Patreon. I would like to know if there is a difference in paints (transparent and opaque are types os acrylic paints) or if this difference is in the way we work the paints (adding water or specific mediuns)? Also would like to say that it wolud be nice to have a "techniques only" collection on the Patreon, so it would be easier to find the lessons to learn nd practice specifical techniques. Also really enjoy your way of teaching. Thanks for the content 👍🏿🇧🇷
Welcome, and both, different paints have different transparency and the more water you use the more transparent they go! I’ll look into creating a techniques series too 👍
i guess not many people are using the golden open slow drying acryllics then.. that one stays wet for quite some time
im so newby that i couldnt gess what about opaque and transparent paint o.o, what is this?
Stupid question, but can you not lightly spray your painting with a mister to keep it wet longer? (works with watercolours)
Your art shine ✨ in my soul 😅do u want to be my professor lol you are the best I love all ur vids and work I love animal especially felines stunning 💥💥💥🎨💥💥💥✨💜
Do you ever blend with acrylic gouache medium?
Please drawing rose or peony .. blendig acrylic 😢
1st
how on earth do you get noticed and have people willing to show your art in order to sell it?
They had a fire flavored meatball in the advertisements for this, I think you should be aware of that.
🤣🤣😂
Not to be one of those people but could you make it clear what brushes you’re using. Thanks
Brilliant as always!
Thank you!
At this point, I'm convinced that i will never be a good artist😢
Never believe or say that! Keep practicing until you can't get it wrong persistence is key
You will!!!! Just enjoy it that's key
give ur art supplies to me
Same
Promise, it just takes practice. I think we all go through that feeling, especially these days when we can see such incredible experts like him. Keep it up and you will get there. Also, painting isn't necessarily about making it look photorealistic.
