this is an incredibly helpful video! and that mixing neon color to brighten was such a great tip! thank u so much. and ur paintings are gorgeous. 😍😍🤎🤎👌👌
I tried your suggestion and wow. It worked! I was wondering why isn't my colours more vibrant, popping and your video did it for. It was like a huge relief. Today I finished a painting, same one i did before and I put them side by side, and one I did from what I learned from your video just did for me. I felt a lot of stress leave me and that this problem which has been doing me in for a while now has been solved. So thanks for your sharing your tips. It worked!
I love the tips & tricks, some I would have never thought of ! If I may suggest, would you consider doing a video on painting the human eye ? I’m getting into these doll/human face Molds, where the eyes are left completely blank, not even a faint outline of the 3 parts of the eye, imprinted within the eye area that would help dramatically towards obtaining a realistic eye. It’s things like the 3 colour parts of the eye that would be most helpful, typical paint mixing for realistic eye colours and delicate line striation detail of the iris (?), how to paint eyes looking in different directions and possibly realistic eye lashes ? Thank you so much, as this video was a valuable video for sure ! Julie Canada
Hi Julie! So glad you liked the video 😊 Yes I can definitely do a video on this! I'll need to do a bit of practice first as I haven't painted a human eye in a while! (I've been focussing mainly on painting animals for the last few years). I love painting eyes though so I'll do some practising and create a video for you soon ❤️
Hmmm. You talk about good quality paints that won't break the bank and then go onto mention Liquitex and Golden, 2 of the most expensive on the market, at least here in Australia. Amsterdam or (Talens) make a great acrylic that's awesome and 1/2 the price. I guess it depends on the art you're making... I'm a mixed media artist making art for my own enjoyment so for me, inexpensive is the way to go.
I mainly use Liquitex basics which are way more affordable (I'm in the UK so it may be different here). Thanks for the tip! I haven't tried those brands but I'll definitely give them a go :)
I was afraid all the tips would essentially be "spend more money" but I can easily use most of these tips with my bargain brand paints. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! I tried to make sure most of the tips could be done without having to buy anything 😊
Using neon colours to intensify regular colours is genius. I’ll remember that one. Great video.Thank you.
So glad you liked it! I use that one all the time, especially with pink ❤️
This is definitely a "must have" piece of information for everyone's artistic journey!! Thank you!! Understanding the color wheel is so important.
So glad you liked it! Yes definitely, I’m always thinking about the colour wheel 😂😊

I don’t use acrylic paint much, but next time I do, I’ve got some great tips! Thank you!
Neon or fluorescent paints are not lightfast (it fades) rapidly, so keep that in mind and defeats your purpose of avoiding dullness.
I agree, I was going to mention this too !
Liquitex basic is also a student brand and not as light fast as the Golden professional or Liquitex professional. She doesn’t mention that either.
I’m using this video to figure out how to avoid making neons.
Neons are not permanent. Acrylic is glue. Pigment is better than dye.

Be careful with fluorescent colors. They are not very lightfast and will fade quickly
Had to clic as acrylic is always to bright and too vibrant! Plastic wonder ugg...
