    I watched this video before about 2 years ago, but here I am again for a refresher. It's so easy to forget the foundation techniques.

    This must be oneof the most informative videos on acrylic painting I've seen since a long time. Many thanks! I've been struggling with the tacky paint without knowing it!

    Thank you so much for this tutorial. This is the first time I have learned and come to appreciate the importance of right blending of acrylic paints, selection of brudh type, and wiping the brush before blending. No wonder my waves in the ocean and clouds in the sky look nothing better than blobs of paint that are highlighted by brush streaks. 🥵

    • @jconearth6686
      @jconearth6686 4 года назад

      not sure why he calls it a foundation medium but probably it is a matte or Gloss Polymer medium or maybe even a gazing medium...

    Love watching your tutorials. I know you are big Bob Ross fan. Me too! I learned so much from him and didn't even know it. Watched him for 20 years and only started painting about 5 months ago, and found all that stuff I learned from him coming out of the end of my brush! I've been using craft paint to do paintings and have had really good results, but as I buy new paint, I think I'll upgrade to your paints. I trust you to know they are good products and you aren't charging an arm and a leg. And thanks for this tutorial! It was great!!!

One Question I have is what brushes do you recommend a beginner to have to start with?? I've noticed a #4 round is popular but apart from that I don't know.

    When you say "Wipe the brush, wipe the paint out of the brush" @ 10:20 are you referring to dipping the brush in water to clean it? Or just wipe off all the excess paint and use the kind of dry stuff underneath?

    • @KevinOilPainting
      @KevinOilPainting  5 лет назад

      Thanks for your support! What I meant was wipe the brush on a paper towel to get the excess paint off the bristles.

    If you mix your acrylic with gel medium, do you need to apply extra gesso to your canvas? Or the toning serves as gesso?
