  • The key to blending acrylic paint on canvas is to water down the paint to a creamy consistency and then use multiple dry wash brushes to smooth out the brushstrokes. This acrylic paint blending tutorial demonstrates and explains the complete process in detail.

      Good tip for beginners
      Unless you are mixing up large cups of paint suggest to new painters to use small plastic cups

      Hey Greg, just wanted to tell you THANKS for the recommendation for the rechargeable airbrush sprayer. TEMU has a nice green one for 21$!
      I didn't even realize such a critter even existed!---No noisy air compressor nor aggravating lengthy hose to work around.
      A huge bonus to my work! Thanks Tons!🤠👍
      (edit: Wouldn't mind seeing you do a tutorial on how you mix your non airbrush acrylic paint for different artistic effects)

    You treated my OCD with kindness. As I watched the video I kept thinking to myself, “Okay I still see a harsh demarcation line between the yellow and what has become orange. Blend a little more here.” And it’s as we were communicating across space and time, because there you went! Absolutely beautiful! Probably not much of a compliment coming from me as I’m not even an artist. But my eyes are happy. 😂 Thank you, thank you!

      Ingenious! Price wise it's terrific, but😅 it's a gamble. I'll tell you why. The metal part that cramps the bristles is not made to be soaked in water. Be very careful. It's usually a one hit wonder. You don't want loose bristles stuck to your art work. Too bad everything has been over priced these days. There are certain art brushes that are a hundred dollars or more!

    I'm surprised by how much water is used. Word on the street is that too much water may affect the paint binding, so I have always mixed some medium plus water (I do see your opinion in the video that the amount of water you use doesn't affect the binding).

      That anti-water lie came from some RUclips video some lady made. She blocked all comments so that people can’t correct her. You can literally use acrylic as a watercolor and the paint will work just fine. You can thin, glaze etc acrylics using water only and it will be JUST FINE

    Something that has become very useful to me is a spray bottle that is mostly water, with a few drizzles of vegetable glycerin, and about 1/4 full of arcylic paint thinner medium. The liquid is transparently milky white. I can mist it over my palette, I spray it directly into cups, sometimes on to my brush, and rarely, I spray my whole canvas with it.
    This stops the "dusty" effect when I use too much water on my acrylic paint without me noticing. It keeps the pigments bound, extends the working time, is cheaper than using mediums directly, and somehow ends up working more smooth than water.
    I tend to do 100 glazes so overwatering arcylic could be a big problem for me. In fact, I would have made this gradient by glazing, and it would have been very frustrating and taken longer.
    🤔I should buy a soft large brush, because all my really big brushes are rather stiff and meant for latex wall paint

    • @GregLowmanArt
      @GregLowmanArt  3 месяца назад +1

      To blend small you can use a smaller brush like a round or filbert, get the bristles just wet enough to break up the paint, do circles on the color changes, and continuously wipe the bristles off when they fill w/ paint. Skip the last step and don't go over the area with a dry brush to avoid smearing/streaking. You can blend pretty much anything doing this, even smooth skin tones - ruclips.net/video/tD3XEGaQwwg/видео.html
