You’re welcome 😊

This was a great lesson. I learned a LOT. I am an extreme beginner in acrylics. I've only painted one picture, well 2 if I count the practice one in my notebook a few days back. I just discovered you last night. I was doing a search for an old shanty in the swamp. I think that would make a great painting. So glad I found your channel.

Great lesson Ginger. I always learn something new just by watching your videos, whether I paint the lesson or not. I have been amazed at what I've been able to paint since I became a member of GingerCookLive.Gallery. It's been more than worth the membership price!

I decided I am going to do all your ginger snap free lessons. If I do well, I will take your classes. I am a little intimidated cause I am new. So want to be sure I can handle the paid lessons first. Thank you for teaching us!

You know when I started out with acrylics years ago, no one knew the first thing about them. Most of the techniques I show you have been developed from over 50 years of painting with them every week.

Thank you Ginger!! I love the side brush blending technique. That is so much better than my smashing the paints all together and than getting frustrated that it looks like a three year old's finger painting ;)

Dear Ginger, thank You so much for your generosity and amazing talent in teaching. I only starting to learn painting being 80. I am Russian speaking, but I understand You very well.. How can I get full length of those wonderful bananas. I want to eat them all. In Russia we never could buy them. My Mother so loved this fruit. So i want to do this painting in her memory. What a beautiful and talented doughtier you have! So many people love both of you. Blessing. .

You do it the same way just use a larger brush. The techniques I show you on these small canvases and just how you use a brush. When you do a big painting you change the size of your brushes.

How much water are you using when blending?

Good luck to John being in Houston.

Get him a bananamama machine. its so cool. you take frozen bananas, (the ones he forgets to eat) and put them in this super high speed device and get out something like icecream. add other frozen fruit to go into the mix. Awesome stuff.
