I soak brushes in Murphy’s Oil Soap in a ziplock bag overnight, oils and acrylics. I pit all my brushes in with enough of that soap to cover the bristles. And snap the bag up as much as possible and lay it sideways so it does not effect the tip of the brushes. If i forgot, i will quickly use that Murphy’s, Dawn and hot water to clean. Iv gotten brushes harden from acrylic. Soaked them for s fee days and that brush was useable again!

You are welcome!

Thank you for all of your Wonderful videos, I truly have learned and enjoyed my journey with your helpful tips.😊 I don't have Photoshop but I have found 2 apps that can get close to what you do. I have to play with them and they have saturuation and contrast in the free app called snapseed. The other app helps pick color from a picture down to 6 colors it is free and called Palette I picked up both apps from google play store. I hope this will help someone, thanks again and best wishes😊

If it’s an acrylic painting I usually use a glossy acrylic spray varnish Windsor and Newton do a good one. I then frame my artwork usually in a floater frame not behind glass. I tend to paint the sides black too just so the white isn’t visible in the frame. Hope that helps!

I have problems with the painting surface, specifically the weave of canvasses when doing small things like eyes, claws or beaks for instance, what do you suggest for that, thanks

Add a layer or two of gesso before you paint and sand it down to give a smoother surface to paint on

How do you get such thin lines with the paint brush”

It’s just about getting the right paint consistency and thinning it down enough but not too much that the paint starts to Brad on the canvas

It's sad to know that I will never be anywhere as good as you two

The more you practice the better you will get! if you try and paint or draw every single day you will improve so much. Looking at my artwork over the past 5 years it’s amazing how much it has changed and I have improved just through practice every day! You will be able to do it too

@@StudioWildlife Thank you! Do you learn about animal anatomy and try to remember the location of the muscle, bones... of the animals you draw? I find studying animal anatomy really hard
