Some had asked for a full real time tutorial for blending my abstract backgrounds! Here ya go! Don't get frustrated, blending acrylics is not easy, but just keep at it, its gets easier! There are many other techniques for realistic acrylic painting like for clouds and waves, maybe i will do one of those in the future! Happy painting!
As always Molly, this was inspirational---especially for me who has pretty much no talent. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and techniques and giving me hope that perhaps I might be able to do something that won't scare my cat!
Oh Molly, you are setting us all up for success. You don’t have to have these wonderful lessons, but you do and I can’t tell you just how much you are appreciated. To my knowledge, you are the only person who has been so patient as to share your knowledge. This is almost like a paid for class. If I were close to you, I would take any of your classes in a heartbeat. I have to just say WOW. I have downloaded this and going to follow it this weekend to play. Don’t ever apologize for a long video. If people don’t want to watch they will fast forward or skip to something else. Your loyal followers will hang on every minute. HAPPY PAINTING MOLLY GIRL!
You are such a good teacher. I usually don't watch a long video unless it is yours. Thanks for all of the tips, I have been wanting to branch out, this is perfect.
Thank you for all you do. I am learning so much and your friendly fun attitude makes me happy. Love it. Just started trying acrylic pours and found out I need more videos, a lot more. I did sign up for the class that you, Rinske, and Olga have and it is wonderful. I always want to learn and this is a great start.
This video helped me get through on how to layer. Haven't painted in a long time. Truly helpful! Thankyou for your time in showing different techniques. Have a great day! Excellent! Happy painting to you too! 🌞👍😊
This is the most informative video I've ever seen on how to work with just plain old acrylic paint! I started my art journey with oil paint, and then I started pouring, so I've had a heck of a time trying to work with acrylic paint before it dries. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything in such detail and sharing your knowledge with the rest of us!
thank you for doing the tutorials..I am addicted to your channel for learning. I am so enjoying playing with painting..never nthought before I could be doing this..changed my life
Molly I love the way you show us how to paint. I was interested in your 3” and 2” flat brushes I am really fascinated with the way you paint and explain what you are doing. I keep watching this tutorial until I get it like yours. Thank you for your tutorial
Thanks so much! My #30daychallenge is to begin working with brushes, learning about brushes and purchasing proper brushes. The paddle brush is expensive though! Yikes! Thanks for all you do for the acrylic art community!
Thank you, Molly, for making this tutorial. I've been doing the acrylic pouring for several months and have wanted to do something with brushes for a change. Getting bored with the pouring a bit plus it goes so fast. I didn't know how to do what I've wanted to do and yhen your video popped up in my email! Now I have something new to try today. I appreciate your wanting to teach and help others❣
Thank you Molly.... I really learnt so much from this blog ..I love the way you teach, you’re so relaxed and so gentle and you’re good, so good .as it not “what one teaches,. its how you teach”. Thank you lovely Lady
Thanks Molly you helped me unlock my understanding of oil paint. The dry acrylic application that you did to canvas with the paddle brush really helped. Making those designs you made with the dry brush was awesome! Thanks🥰
OMG you just saved my life! I tried blends on two canvasses 30"x40" and I hated the results. I thought it was a lost cause b.c. no one else said "just do more layers". AND the various techniques are so helpful to have up my sleeve. I'm ready to dive back in, THANK YOU MOLLY.
Thank you so so much!! I have gone through canvas after canvas, a ton of paint, and watched countless video tutorials and this is one has me excited to try again. Seriously the best instruction. Thanks again, You Rule!!!
This was so useful Molly thank you. I have a painting I am not 100% happy with and was wondering how to correct and you have shown me how I can do it. I really enjoy all your videos and learn so much.🙏🏻
Ty so much for this teaching video. It is very helpful and once I get my brushes I will use this video to practice by. It looks like so much fun. You are awesome and very very talented!
What a wonderful way to end a rainy Sunday afternoon and please don't apologize, it wasn't too long and it was genuinely fun and interesting. I loved this tutorial, thank you so much Molly and now I'm itching to get at my painting. Alas, first I must feed the dogs or they will give me no peace. :)
Loved your tutorial I'm just getting in to acrylic painting again and abstract designs and your video got me highly motivated! Thank you again because blending I do get frustrated with, but feeling s little more confident after watching this, Thank you and cant wait to watch other videos..
I want to thank you s much for instructing on the basics. This has been so informative. I have wrote notes to refer back to this wonderful instructions. God bless you, again so grateful for you. Thank you.
Thank you very much for this informative tutorial, I’ve learned a lot! I was always wondering how you make those lines on your abstract painting to have 3D effect. Now I will dare to try. Thank you for helping so many people with your kindness! ❤️
Thank you Molly, watching you do abstract is like watching magic happen! I also enjoy your liquid art. But, the control you have in abstract is amazing!
Hi, from Melbourne Beach FL -new painter, subscriber and lover of your teaching. and art. You explain everything so well. I am so glad I came across this even if it is older. Thank you
Thank you for this, i am going to have to give it a go as i love your abstract paintings with the balloon smashes, i've got so much i want to try thanks to you, i'm off to buy brushes now ! Thank you
Great tutorial.. very helpful and easy to understand. You've been able to clearly communicate points in areas I needed more understanding. Much appreciated. Thanks 😊
Molly! Thanks for the kindness sharing with us your Thu gifts, I have been learning so much from your Videos is very impairing. You had helped me to be able to stay home working on the paintings. Thanks Molly.
You are my favorite artist... I’ve been just now trying blending dry on dry, but until I watched this I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t get the hang of it. My favorites are when you put in your curved lines. I have tremors so I have to laugh at my half circle lines, but now I will do better because of you, thank you I am also legally blind and what a great time I have painting.
My goodness, acrylic paints are so much more opaque than watercolor paints-and appear, from this demonstration, to be much more difficult to blend. I've recently started using acrylics for rock painting for my grandchildren. The dry-on-dry-with-different-hues-of-paint-on-the-same-brush technique had the best blending results to my eye-thank you for your introduction to blending with acrylic paints.
I was just watching the Sarah Mac and looks like she's got a Smackdown with you going, making sure I didn't miss it holy cow girl she's cutting you no slack I love when you guys do this it is so much fun for us out here
You my dear explained so much to me. This information is priceless and thank you so much for sharing all your talents with us. You are the best of the best. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Hugs to you Molly.
Thank you so much for this video. I’m new to pouring and have wanted to know how to do this also. I’m going to get brave and try it. Love all your video videos and very grateful that you share you time and talent with us.
This helped so much! Was trying to make soft clouds but just couldn't do it until I saw this. You're great at explaining these techniques. Thank you for the tuitorials :)
Thank you so much for this very interesting tutorial. I recently discovered acrylic painting and I just love this. Merci beaucoup.👏👏 Please let me know if I can find another of you great tutorial.
Thank you so much for this video. Your timing was perfect. I have an idea in my head and I wanted to do a blended background for it. Your details are perfect and I have made notes. Now it is up to me to put what I have learned to the canvas. Thank you, Molly, for a great video.
Thank you so much for that, The second technique has always been tough struggle for me but I finally understand. You teach very well. I look forward to watching more videos
Thanks you for sharing. I have learnt so much. Have a painting which needs blending going to give it another go. Once again thanks and stay safe from New Zealand
Thank you for sharing your skills on basics of painting. Very informative, though I do paint, I enjoyed the relaxed tutorial with soft music in the background. You actually show with passion, not like a teacher. You make painting fun, exciting, creative and positive with challenges thrown in.😁
EXCELLENT video Molly! … Very helpful I have just started some of this kind of painting but it’s good to know the techniques! … Thank you for this one ! Obviously this is an old video I just somehow missed along the way … probably because I wasn’t at this point at that time … still trying to get the Dutch pour down !! … getting very frustrating … actually that is how I started doing this as I had scraped another disappointing Dutch pour and with what was left on the canvas I started brushing and then I tried brushing along with paper towel and Saran Wrap and it just looked very cool !… Hopefully I can do something more fulfilling than my Dutch pours lol
Thank you so much for this great tutorial! I love your abstract pieces with the balloon dips and wondered how you created these amazing effects with your background. Now I know 😊. Thank you for sharing your passion. Your vibrant energy is contagious!
Some had asked for a full real time tutorial for blending my abstract backgrounds! Here ya go! Don't get frustrated, blending acrylics is not easy, but just keep at it, its gets easier!
