Just magnificent Tim !!! Thank you for all of your help.
Thank you so much for watching!
Guilty as charged!! During the block-in stage, I 'freely' use larger brushes concentrating on shapes and tonal values, but when faced with adding details, (as with fur), the process becomes tedious, monotonous and time consuming. A great tip! Thank you so much!
Sometimes its hard to loosen up, but once you do you'll notice a nice realistic "looseness" to your paintings.
Perfect explanation. You are a great teacher. Thank you for sharing your extraordinary talent!!
Thank you so much!
this guide is very helpful, thanks!
i find it important to periodically step back at some (varying) great distance to get a proper perspective of progress.
I have found it helpful to take a picture of it with my phone, too. It kind of gives me a chance to have another perspective. Like another pair of eyes.
Absolutely! Stepping back is so key in painting. I'm glad you mentioned that.

I haven't watched this whole video at the time of my question, but I will. My question is, when you paint in acrylics, do you always cover ALL the canvas, with however many layers, or the thickness you need, so that there is no white and/or no canvas texture showing through? The canvas texture doesn't show from a distance, but from up close, a person can see the white texture showing through here and there, mostly because I put the paint on fairly thin at times, and in several places. Not thick textures like oils. To me it adds character, but I wonder if people typically accept it as professional. What do you think?
I would always tone the canvas first to avoid this. So you can just do a burnt sienna or raw umber thing layer first before painting, and then block in shapes, and then do your regular layers. This will prevent the white canvas showing through. The more layers the better! :)
@@gagnonstudio Oh, ok. I never think to tone my canvas. Great idea! Thanks for your reply. I appreciate it!
