    I have been struggling with painting rocks for days trying to figure them out! What a great technique! THANK YOU! Now I will practice this technique, but I will keep trying! You are wonderful! I love your adorable accent. Thank you for mentioning to "wipe your brush".. I wasn't, NO WONDER I was having problems.

    @hashbrown5350 10 лет назад

    I'm just starting out painting... well in GIMP at least, so it's not really painting. But to see the way you build up the painting is a great way to learn for me.
    And did I hear a canary and another bird in the background?

    • @lenhend
      @lenhend  10 лет назад

      Hi Hash
      You can get the idea of arrangement and tones for your GIMP

  • @bettythomason2116
    @bettythomason2116 2 года назад

    Why do most artists tape the boarder Ionesco of the canvas before painting. Couldn’t the painting extend to all edges of painting rather than this empty border around it

    • @lenhend
      @lenhend  2 года назад

      Best to know exactly what is on the very edges of the painting as things must be balanced and picture frames are easier to buy at nominal sizes.
      Paintings can cover the whole canvas as you say but you might lose control of the arrangement.

    Thank you for a great lesson. I needed to see knife use on rocks by an expert. Very enjoyable.

  • @Lolalexz00
    @Lolalexz00 10 лет назад +2

    Mine turned out much weaker when i started to use the 'knife'. (i bought way too large, for a small A4 canvas :( ) Plus my paints were much 'dirty', not so vivid like yours. PLUS it took me a few hours! when i started to fix the 'failed' water (had to paint every wave with brush, rarely knife, and wasn't satisfied with the result many times). You, sir are a master. my new guru. I am planning to learn painting with you, but with your speed and flow there's a loong way towards..
    People watch - amazing but easy! - but my paints don't want to listen, which makes it tough like always.
    Great skill.

  • @DressedForDrowning
    @DressedForDrowning 8 лет назад

    Hi Len, I see, you make much with acrylics. My question is: Since this color dries very fast on the canvas, how long does it stay wet on the palette? Or does it dry there also very fast?

    • @lenhend
      @lenhend  8 лет назад

      +The Fine Arts the paint on the palette is in a thick pile and not in a thin layer so it doesn't dry so fast

    • @DressedForDrowning
      @DressedForDrowning 8 лет назад

    • @kelymknowles1
      @kelymknowles1 8 лет назад

      +The Fine Arts I live in Fl and it is very hot and humid and I really struggled for a very long time with a constantly dry palette and when painting the canvas. I have tried every medium out there but I finally broke down and sprung the $16 for both a Masterson Wet Palette (doesn't matter which brand you choose) and a 30pack of the palette paper that goes with it. The palette came with 5 sheets of palette paper and you can use both sides and reuse the paper over and over. I just use the sprayer on my kitchen faucet and clean it off and let it air dry. I alternate between the 2 sheets of paper. So it is far more economical than I thought it would be and I paint every day! Mine has 6 covered removable solo cups to put water, paint or mediums in. Life has been a dream! I also use Liquitex Palette Spray and have an array of retarders and thinners by Liquitex and Golden. All of which are now right on my palette. I don't know how I lived before! I use a lot less mediums though now and I save a ton of paint and can be a lot more free with laying out my paints because I know I can save any excess. So, I would highly recommend getting one because not only does it help extraordinarily well while painting but you are most definitely going to save a on of money on paints/mediums too!
