OMG! Finally! Thank you for providing such clear and understandable information about mediums. Please consider explaining more of such things!!! All artist newbies should be given the gift of you. I learned more from you in this 10 min video than I have learned in the three years since I started working with paint. You rock!
I am a total beginner and at 55 years old never imagined I would be so completely obsessed with painting! Thank you for helping me navigate through all the different products! You are much appreciated!❤
I'm new to painting and have looked at countless videos trying to explain mediums and this by far is the absolute best. I will signing up for some of his classes as soon as I figure out how!? Thank you, for just keeping it simple and it makes sense compared to other videos out there
Huge Thanks for explaining so clearly. Also for not dragging out usless information or mixing up way to much info that distracts you from what the important lesson should be about. Simple and to the point! Love it 😊
This is so well explained and really helped me understand the basics of painting with Acrylic. I finally found a way to improve my paintings! Thanks a lot!
This is the best introduction to acrylic mediums I’ve watched and I’ve watched several. I subscribed based on your teaching skill in this video. Thanks!
So happy to use these paints to brighten up an old painting It was fun learning. ...the detaling of the mediums. Was a new chapter in my life at the age of 71. ...love paiting...will love to learn more
This video was extremely helpful thank you thank you sir!!!! My teaching my nieces and nephews art at home due to the pandemic. They don’t have virtual art class anymore and I believe that class is important. Art helps people imagine, think, de-stress, express themselves.
I am an absolute newb to acrylics. Found this after watching a beautiful piece painted and seeing the artist said he used medium to achieve it. Thank you for this perfectly organized explanation which can help the confused new creative in the aisles of the art supplies store!
Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge...I have been a professional artist for about 20 years and I am so grateful I found you! I have never known about glazing over a black, white and / or gray underpainting. Wow, where have I been? LOL! I can't wait to try this technique!
What luck! I happened to be online to purchase acrylic paint mediums for the first time(novice painter), & was completely overwhelmed by all the mediums there are to choose from. I had no idea what to get so I decided to go on RUclips to find a video to learn about paint mediums. I am lucky that I chose to open this video! Now I know exactly what to buy & save money in the process-I was ready to buy all the wrong things for a beginner,so thank you for the lesson.
Thank you so so so very very very much for such a great presentation! After a good part of an evening becoming more frustrated because I couldn't find real info about mediums, I found you, and I picked up a ton of information. I Will be watching more of your videos. You've got a real talent for teaching. Thank you so much sharing your knowledge with us.
This is the best intro I've seen since ages! Crystal clear and so exhaustive, I'm really delighted to listen and learn ! I'm into watercolor but I'm about to start approaching some attempt of mixed media integrating a bit of white acrylic into my watercolors, and had no clue where to start because there are sooo many products.. I totally found my landmark for acrylics here! Thank you!
Thank you for clarifying this confusing topic of paint mediums. I’m looking to seeing your other videos to gain more knowledge and enjoy painting more!
Thank you! This has been really informative for me because I love working with both oil and acrylics but my basement studio is not ventilated so I can only use acrylics there during the winter, and do my oil paints outside during the summer... so these mediums are a big help for me especially with acrylics... thank you.
I'm 22 and I've just discovered acrilic mediums, I never knew they existed. Now I want to buy them all and try them. Thank you so much for this useful video!!!
Wish I’d seen this earlier; I’ve tried a number of different ones but have ended up for the most part just those you’ve highlighted. I could have saved $ had I seen your video at the start.
Informative video!! Wow, I was able to learn everything I’ve been trying to research for the past couple hours! Super helpful for a beginner, thanks so much! ❤
Very informative video, i learned so many things about acrylic medium painting on how to use acrylic paint, and i also learned the different types and uses of acrylic paint! Thanks.
I'm really glad I found you, I bought gesso, thinking it was a "gac" for acrylic pouring!! I'm not the brightest crayon in the box...so I,will be retiring this. However, without even knowing, I believe I,used this when coloring my casted hands. Being that I,want to,add and then wipe off mostly using the black to just use as a detain light color, oh wait. No,its glazing!! Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing all this information. I have no idea what I am doing and discovering for myself as I go along, lol. so it's useful to have this guidance.
This video really impresses me since I can simply comprehend what acrylic painting is. It also showed me how to use this example of a medium correctly. Since many individuals are interested in using acrylic as a medium, I think it's fascinating to see. Even though acrylic is easy to learn and quite intimidating if you already have the skills, I also learned about the basic components of acrylic painting, which include the pigments, binder, and solvent. And that's what I've learned from watching this video together.
By including the ingredients of paints and mediums in your explanation, you made this a very thorough and easy to understand overview. It's also evident that you have actually used the mediums you discuss; the pros and cons of each medium are very useful. I imagine you chose the Liquitex products for the video on account of the clear labeling across the range of products? (e.g. 'Fluid' is always color A, 'gel' is always color B). (Graffiti related brands (like Liquitex) are pretty sweet when it comes to packaging and color schemes, I think. I love the Montana Cans and Molotow ranges too. It's always very clear what's what) As has been stated by other people in the comment section; I've been looking for a video like this for quite some time now. Thank you
I have painted with acrylic but its been a whi!e.you are so good at explaining an taking time to learn what you or talking about.I really like your website.👍
Thank you for these helpful tips. There are so many mediums out there so it was good to know what they do, to be able to understand which ones you need.
Thank you so much for explaining these mediums! I got couple in my hand but don't really know why they are different! I guess to be an artist, it requires drawing skills, and also requires to be an sort of Alchemist!!😁 Thank you, I love your energy!!
Yes! Thank you! It's glazing that I need for galaxy painting. I'll definitely practice before the actual painting. Thank you so much for this!!!! Saving for later use.
Thank you. I loved oil painting when I took a class years ago. But I forgot the process of cleaning the oil, the liquids to clean, disposing the oil, and all that stuff so I'm looking to get acrylic paints tomorrow instead. I wish the the slow dry medium lasted a day or two.
Thank you! I ended up with fluid matte medium as I'm about to attempt a doll face repaint. Needed the paint to be matte finish but also thinner. Should work out fine if not I'll pull out the acetone and try again haha.
Finally, an instructor who is knowledgeable without annoying mannerisms of the amateurs who just think they can teach. Wonderful information.
