Thank you so much!!! I am a beginner to art, at age 67... My mom began at age 40... I have friends who are artists who have encouraged me to just have fun. So I began taking acrylic art classes a couple of years ago. My first teacher was acryllic impressionism... and it set me free from the idea that painting had to be perfect! Thank you for sharing your painting techniques, they help me tremendously! Art is to be enjoyable, an experience to be enjoyed.

I’ve painted most of my life, but I still find that your beginner videos are incredibly helpful. Never had an art class but your videos seem like they’re probably better! Thank you!

I have spent 9 hours, NINE HOURS ( 4am-1:20pm) searching for a video on blending and such. Every SINGLE VIDEO I watched was either " blending is so overrated", " ditch the blending and learn to overlap" and so on. Every single video I watched either had something negative to say about blending or completely irrelevant but was labeled as "blending acrylic paints" When I came to your video, I was literally about to give up. I watched the first couple of minutes of it and I was on the edge of my seat! I don't paint. I have very little experience in the painting stuff unless it's color/paint by number or the random "touchup" to my door frames and even those are sad to look at. Your video helped me so much and now, I am finding things in my house to paint. Thank you so much! You earned my "like" a million times and more and you have a new subscriber! You're Awesome!! Please make more videos like this!!

This comment made my day today. I work so hard to make art videos that make painting with acrylics just a little bit easier for new artists. I want to say thank you for hanging in until you found what you needed. I am kinda known for really long Live streaming free art classes BUT I know not everyone has time for that and there are two playlists to follow the Sherpa Short and Start Here. You can always catch a live stream and ask me questions in real time too. The start here playlist is that crazy stuff beginners need to know but nobody tells them. I will include links for both First the sherpa short classes - kzread.info/head/PLXUkNk1HRolHCeBDb47qeHMzzuqKXIVs4 And START HERE : kzread.info/head/PLXUkNk1HRolGbagACdjVplH9z2JxEgTcQ

Thanks Cinnamon! Glazing is my favorite way to blend. When I first used that product , I thought it was a miracle in a bottle. I love it!

As Always , you just make it so simply. You are a wonderful teacher, thank you for sharing this wonderful techniques with us.

Hi. I just wanted to say. On my journey of discovering myself. You have helped me sooooooo much. Thank you

Excellent technique video that addresses the fact that everyones environment is different and blending without water is nearly impossible for some of us. I really love the night sky blending technique and the sponged-blended background. Fantastic video Cinnamon!

Nothing has been as helpful as this!!! I’ve designed greeting cards for years & am so excited to use your tools here! Thank you!!

thanks Cinnamon. of course I have seen all these blending methods over the last couple years but having them all together like this is so helpful and makes it so much easier to be able to decide on which method to use for any particular painting

Cinnamon you have just made my day , I have truly missed seeing you and John so a big Thankyou for this presentation ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍

THAT WAS GREAT..I NEEDED THAT A LOT..TY CINNAMON FOR HELPING US

I have taken many art classes over the years. You are so good with clear,detailed instructions , enthusiasm and encouragement ☺️ so glad I found you!

Love the glaze effects!

Love the dry brush blending tip!!

Brilliant video.❤️ (I’m alone , in my studio, having veggie soup.......watching you dear Sherpa. I was really focused on your blending demo. When My late husband said ‘You’re watching paint dry’. My imagination? Probably, sure, have to smile, he was always so witty. thank you for the tutorial and you’re great company. Smiles

Great ideas on blending! That's so helpful for so many people!

Omg! Thank you for showing these awesome techniques. I’m not an artist but love playing with paints to relax. I have gotten frustrated in the past of not being able to blend some backgrounds and you just hit the nail on the head regarding the mistakes I’ve been making! You rock! I’m so glad I found your channel!

Wow, what a great video! I’ve learned more about how to blend acrylics in this one video than I have in watching tons of other videos! You’re such a great teacher, thank you 🥰🥰🥰

I've only recently started learning to paint with oils. But I've been watching a ton of short acrylic speed paint videos. I always kept thinking to myself that I wouldn't want to paint with acrylics because it looked like the blending process was a pain. This video makes me want to give acrylics a try even more. Because I get frustrated when painting with oils how sometimes I just want to easily paint over a surface but have difficulty getting crisp or fine lines working on top of wet paint. Thanks for the video!

Hey Mrs.Cinnamon I am a beginner and would love a vid explaining the different brushes their strengths and weaknesses and some of the best brushes for beginners. Thank you and have a blessed Day/Night

Thank you, this was so so helpful! Especially the 2 brush technique.

My jaw dropped after the dry brush blend method. That took it from a very nice gradient to full blown sunset! Thank you for showing so many tips, as well, I have always struggled with teachers showing only one method of getting to a desired result and it really helps me to learn as many ways to achieve something as possible because everyone is different thus everyone learns best differently! ❤ Edit!: now you're letting us know how to improve a more realistic sunset. You're wonderful for sharing all of this! Thank you so much!

Love the look of the sponge method.

THANK YOU....THANK YOU. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

This is precisely what I needed to watch today. Thank you for the variety of blending methods and suggestions. Truly helpful. You rock!

Clear and concise as usual. Thanks Marian

I work mostly in oil and watercolor. I occasionally wander into acrylic and find it so hard to work with. This was really helpful! Thank you.

Wow. You're really good at explaining the minutiae! That's exactly what I needed. You're the best!!

I enjoyed this. Good tips. Thank you. The sponge blending is my favorite. You can get a neat effect for a background by putting a three or four different colors just on the edges of a slightly damp sponge and then swirling. It works best if the colors are not touching each other for the first use. After that it doesn't matter that much. I've done a couple backgrounds that way.

This is very helpful! Love the two brush blend!!! Thank you so much!💖

Thanks for this! I needed this. Will watch it more than once.

Thank you...love all the blends

For teaching a handicapped student - I've used a method to take a very wide damp brush and load the brush with three or more colors. For example to create a blended sky: On the pallet, dobble blue, white, pink, yellow - run the brush across all the "blobs' at one time to pick up all the pigments. With the blue aimed at the top of the painting brush horizontally back and forth until all 3 - 4 colors are laid on the canvas - the back an forth motion blends them. this was very effective because all the paints were wet at the same time and rewarding to the student.

Love the soft dry brush technique, thank you!

What a great blending tutorial. I used 8 x 6 inch canvas sheets to do this. Now I have backgrounds for my next painting project. Thank you.

I’ve struggled for years with Radial blends and this video has finally helped me understand what I was doing wrong. Thank you so much! You’re an excellent teacher! 🕊

Cinnamon thank you for the different blending methods this was very interesting because I have trouble blending

Awesome, I'm actually taking a BEGINNER art class and the instructor said to do a wash of color for the background. Of course everyone painted their background... she didn't say what a wash was! Then she told me to blend my sky, but didn't tell me how.. grrr, thank you so much for this! The blending techniques, the half step of color, and of course wiping your brush, I kept adding paint and made a mess of blob on my brush! Will never forget this lesson!
