To the person reading this: Even though I don’t know you, I wish you the best of what life has to offer ❤
You are so kind! Same to you, a million times over :) - Mia, Art Prof Staff
now we know why you are into painting...you look bored :'D wish u the best too haha
This made my day better
Thank you
Thank you I wish the same for you as well
"Please don't eat it" :D haha
Yeah!
I'll just drink it then, Cadmium smoothies
I actually prefer the taste of cobalt smoothies
😂
Absolutely love this art prof vid. Only 14 mins long. No annoying music. Loads of brilliant advice(the tip about the chemical bonds was pretty mind-blowing). Great editing. Fascinating to watch Alex paint too.
Did i mention only 14 mins long? 😉
So glad you enjoyed it!!! 14 minutes seems to be a happy middle ground between super long and super short, haha - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Exactly!!! These guys can edit. So much substance. No wasted time. And the practical tips (eg. freezer paper).
And most of all, they can SPEAK. No annoying Tiktok voice. No grunting or increased pitch at every last word of the sentence.
I’m starting a new painting for my class and my teacher really doesn’t like when we go it with a lot of colors and he prefers starting monochromatic. But I really liked how you did it with the underpainting being the opposite color. I really want to apply this to my painting. I hope he doesn’t get mad :/
I know a lot of people do the monochromatic underpainting, but I've never been a fan. I feel like it actually gets your eye to not see the color! This video explains that and more: ruclips.net/video/QL5HZD1kEjY/видео.html -Prof Lieu
Art Prof: Create & Critique thanks! And wow that’s strange cause my teacher says you won’t see the color if you don’t start monochromatic. I ended up doing the opposite color underpainting and I think it’s working out better than I thought it would. I’m very happy I found a new method
@@EvermoreisTimeless If you think about it this way, it makes sense: (at least to me) if you are painting something black and white that is a color IRL, you basically have to force your eye to ignore the color and reduce it to a specific gray value. So if I am painting a red apple, I have to figure out how to convert that red color of the apple into a grey value, thus getting myself to not see the red. My former professor Tony Janello expalined this to me many years ago because my paintings as an art student were sooooo grey, and he said it was because I had been training my eye to ignore colors by drawing in black and white for so long. I felt like my brain exploded, it made so much sense to me! And I have struggled with color forever and ever, to this day I'm still not that great at it, but I at least understand how it works. ruclips.net/video/QL5HZD1kEjY/видео.html -Prof Lieu
I too love the idea of the complimentary undertone....thank you so much! Will try it today!
@@artprof these schools and teachers do not all root for us at their root. to train you not to see color or to be able to work with it is on brand for a school, indocrination strikes the lot of us, truly.
Sooooo now I want to go to Michael's and buy more paint.....and brushes.....I'm an art supply hoarder and I'm okay with that.
lol same!!!! I have a problem
I am a brush hoarder and have over 50 brushes and still buy more.
Lol I think I spend more time thinking about supplies than just painting.
As an acrylic painter, I'd say his color choices are VERY personal for him, and not necessarily what every painter should get. I'm in agreement that black shouldn't be used for shadows, but I feel titanium white is a staple for beginners or pros a like. However, his set is very much that of a "class" oriented set, and not something that will be versatile enough for an artist browsing YT videos. Basics color theory sets are I feel the best for most painters of any level.
Also the idea that if your paint dries on the bristles and you're "done" isn't true. A little rubbing alcohol goes a long way.
That's a good point about the bristles! Color choice can be super particular, it's good for an artist to experiment with different pallets until they find one they love :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Why the hell do your types even watch these beginner instruction videos just to argue with the creator because obviously you're not a beginner?
@@yeetnama9094as a beginner I like that he is giving me another perspective, I'm thankful for that
@@yeetnama9094 Only a pompus artist thinks they can't learn anything because they've outgrown basic tutorials
For paints I suggest also to get the primary colors warm and cool variations because for example when you want to mix vivid colors (vivid purple), then you want to mix a cool red and a warm blue. If the red is warm then it will be less saturated purple (because warm red has more yellow in it and if we mix yellow, red and blue together we get gray/black) So the purple would go more to the gray side of colors thus not being as vivid. Hope that helps anyone.
Totally, that's a great suggestion, I always go for the same with my starting palette! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Cool advice! I really must get back to painting, even a little. But that's great to know!
Acrylic paints have come a long way in recent years. The chemistry has improved color lasting, and vibrancy. I personally find them superior to oils, with more color choices and mediums. Plus the toxicity is nowhere near oil, unless you eat them.
So true! I've also noticed the amazing quality acrylics, they're game changers - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
This man isn't a slick painter. His work has a wonderful honesty . Refreshing.
It's reflective of Alex himself!
This was the best acrylic tutorial I've seen. I've learned more in this last half hour than I have in years of using this medium.
That's amazing! We hope you have a ton of fun painting! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
This is one of my favorite acrylic lesson video in the entire youtube! I can’t believe I watch the entire 14 minutes in one sitting! It feels so enjoyable! I’m really looking forward for another acrylic painting lessons!!
Glad it was helpful! you might like our oil painting tutorial: ruclips.net/video/dPw8J2G7cqI/видео.html -Prof Lieu
Thank you for such a thorough video and I love the different textures on the lobster
You're welcome! More here: artprof.org/courses/acrylic-painting/
1:30 I never realized that white was dulling up my colors, I always noticed it, but couldn't understand what I was doing wrong, since every tutorial on youtube advises to use white.
A lesson on brightening or darkening colors without using white or black would be great help! I assume I can use any light or dark color, as long as I take into account their warmness or coolness?
That's a great idea! We have a whole lot of lessons on color, feel free to browse our library here if you're interested: artprof.org/?s=color+mixing - Mia, Art Prof Staff
@@artprof Thanks for the resources. Do you guys have something on how to improve/paractice brushwork for acrylics?
Adding in small amounts of dark greys or even black also works to de-saturate or "dull" colors.
If you can make an investment try Winsor and Newton's PROFESSIONAL line! They have almost no color shift, and way more pigment is used, which results in the vibrant colors being much harder to dull.
I come back to this video all the time because it has so many helpful sections and Alex is such a great teacher.
He really is! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
I love this guy. His voice is so calm and everything about him is relaxing. Great vid 👍
Totally! Alex is the best, haha - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
This is exactly the tips I was looking for in acrylic painting! I started painting in high school and really enjoyed the look and feel. It's been so long since I painted but when I got back into it just wasn't the same. I knew I was missing some fundamental tips. Almost everything you mentioned was so informative for me. I. So excited to do my next canvas using everything you mentioned!
Yes! You got this, good luck with your painting! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
This was so helpful! The complementary colors in the under paint. And I did not know white was having that effect on my mixing but it makes perfect sense!
We're so happy you enjoyed the video!! All of these small tricks can really change the way you paint-- I couldn't believe it till I tried! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Just buy a photoframe and use the glass as a palette. Very cheap since you get a palette and a frame. Just be sure to tape the edges of the glass so u don't cut yourself
Glass paletes are the best you just need a glads scraper to scrape it off and you dont waste that much
The complementary under painting tip was gold, thanks!
Excellent information for a certain type of painting. I learned a few things here even though I've painted with acrylics for decades. That said, a few points points that I noticed:
Palettes - Acrylic paint tends to dry _very_ quickly on a flat palette (but see below). Well palettes give you a better volume to surface area ratio than flat palettes, so the paint can stay workable longer. Porcelain well palettes are much easier to clean than plastic well palettes, so if you go with a well palette, that's what I would use (and have used). But wet palettes can keep paint alive on the palette much longer. This is especially so if you use (as I do) very fluid paints. For quite fluid paint like the Golden Fluid Acrylics and High Flow Fluid Acrylics, I prefer to use baking parchment rather than the palette papers that come with at least the Masterson wet palettes.
Brushes - I work with thin, fluid paints and I work both small and tight. For that kind of painting, I strongly prefer natural-hair brushes (specifically premium Kolinsky brushes) to nylon ("Golden Taklon" or whatever trade name). Nylon brushes tend to lose their points very quickly even when cleaned regularly and carefully, where a Kolinsky can be a workhorse for a year or more. But as I say, I don't do large pieces and I paint very tight, so the brush tip geometry is crucial for me.
Brush Cleaning - Dish soap or shampoo is fine for polymer brushes. For natural hair, though, it strips all the natural oils and turns the brush into a mop. If you are going to use a detergent with natural hair brushes, do what you would do with your own hair and use a hair conditioner after cleaning. FWIW, I generally prefer to use a dedicated brush soap like The Masters to avoid the two-step process. If you somehow let paint dry in your brush, Winsor & Newton makes a Brush Cleaner & Restorer that will clean even dried acrylic paint out of the bristles of a brush. It will also clean the lacquer off the handle of the brush if you aren't careful, and I'm pretty sure it's at least a bit toxic, but it's an option.
Photographing gloss-surface paintings - If you don't do lots of impasto work, using strip lights at a 45° angle from either side of the painting should kill the specular reflection quite effectively. (A very large painting might also need lights above and below, but we're talking _very_ large here.) If you do a lot of impasto work, you might have to matte the painting before photographing, since some part of the texture may always act like a mirror reflecting the light directly at the camera, but even here, if your lights are large enough you can limit your specular reflections.
I hope some of that helps someone.

I'm a beginner on acrylic painting and I learn a ton! Thank you for this!
Just subscribed and I am not even half way through learning lots magical
Thank you for learning with us! ❤️ -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
What I've always used as a pallette: Took design101 in community college and the professor had us bring a 8x10 picture frame in "cheapest you can find".... first day with the frame we removed the glass and taped the sides and corners with painter's tape. It's amazing because if we were trying to match a color when mixing, we set the glass pallette on top of the reference and mixed until matched.
That's such a great exercise, and so easy to check your color mixing! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
For those of you watching this tutorial, please know that our approach to filming this tutorial was to provide very basic information on the differences between oil and acrylic paint for someone who has little to no experience at all with this materials. (thus, the "for beginners" in the video title. Since it is impossible for us to know what each individual person watching this video has access to in terms of a place to paint, (whether it's in a home studio, outdoors, at a local arts organization) we err on being conservative and cautious when presenting information on toxic materials and being responsible about safe disposal of materials that cannot be poured down the sink or placed in a regular trash can without causing harm to the environment.
There are probably some of you who do have that circumstance or facility , but we felt that it would be irresponsible for us to make the assumption that everyone watching this video does. There are certainly nuances and complexities to the toxicity of certain materials, (not to mention so many manufacturers and pigments, each of which are different!) but our point is for people to understand that oil painting isn't a practice that you can casually maintain the way you could if you are doing a pencil drawing.
I'm sure there are some of you watching this video who are much more advanced in your painting practice, have logged many more years, and have tried out many more different materials that we don't mention in this tutorial. Beginners in acrylic and oil painting have a lot of hurtles to deal with when they first start painting. As you progress and find which mediums and techniques are right for you, and develop preferences for your own customized painting technique, you may have different experiences than we talk about above.
Please feel free to share your experiences and techniques in the comment section so we can all learn together. See our other acrylic & oil tutorials!

Enjoy! -Prof Lieu
I have never tried the color palette you've mentioned... I usually go for magentas, a close primary yellow, phthalo blue, titanium white (mixing white for special purposes), and yellow ochre burnt sienne prussian blue just to make mixing easier (depending on the painting)...
and it's good you mentioned the proper way to clean the brushes... we use hot water to restore some misshapen brushes sometimes...
with the pencil sketch, depending on the acrylic quality... it's hard to cover the sketch, so people still need to be careful with that...
also depending on quality, acrylic will look different after it dries, so budget artists watch out for that...
underpainting with complimentary color.. wow.. i should try that, might make everything easier...
and gorgeous painting btw love it
Definitely get yourself some Cobalt Blue... idk what it is exactly but there is magic in Cobalt blue. It works perfectly for creating depth and pushing objects like distant mountains far into the distance.
I appreciate this video very much. Thank you for the insight.
Loved this. So educational! Thank you!

Thank you for this video! I have learn a lot of in-depth information on Acrylic painting and the things that beginners like me should consider when starting Acrylic painting (Materials, brushes to consider, number of colors, etc...), even though I have some little experience before with Acrylic painting. With this video, I've learn more about color mixing techniques, brushing /stroking styles and techniques, that I can use for future use if I ever engage in Acrylic painting again.
That's wonderful! Thank you for sharing what you've learned! If you're interested in more acrylic videos, we have a whole playlist here: ruclips.net/p/PLvt8_pMl6ywmoP3PRVUvQtaljFXPOHXnx -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
