No wonder I had so much trouble blending before... the little secret that so many youtube artists never shared -- a big thank you for helping me (a beginner) and all the other struggling "blenders" out there!!!

So your dry brushes or wash brushes how do you clean them up? Just rinse with water? and let them dry?

@GregLowmanArt

11 ай бұрын

Yes, with any water-based paints (acrylics, watercolor, gauache, etc.) you can just rinse w/ water and let dry, but you'll need to use soap after oils.

White will remove the warmth from warm colors. You can also mix your colors and make sure brush is very wet. It will thin down the paint enough to spread it over a large area.

For what it’s worth I’ve switched to golden open (slow drying) acrylics and I love them

Bob would be proud.

Great video! Why did you mute the fluorescent paints with white first?

@GregLowmanArt

10 ай бұрын

It makes blending easier because you are blending into wet paint instead of blending into a dry canvas - just a trick for people for people who are having trouble.

Can I do this with oil paints? Or can I do an acrylic background and paint over it with oil?

@GregLowmanArt

Жыл бұрын

yes you could do this with oils & yes, oil can go over acrylic but not the other way around

So what do you do in tighter smaller areas where blending is needed, such as petals or leaves?

Adding slow-dri to your paint will give you some more time amzn.to/3GhL5gc

This is fine with a tiny canvas like yours. If you use a large canvas this will not work properly because the white layer will be drying out before you can get the other colours on it and then trying to blend it won't work at all. It might help if you use an extender mixed with the paint instead of water because the water is going to dry out much faster. However, we have nothing in the acrylic paint field so far as I know, that acts like the clear coat in oil painting which is a shame.

How would this work with a clear acrylic extender? Thinking that might work well on larger canvas. Just a thought.

Would white gesso work, too?

@GregLowmanArt

4 ай бұрын

No, you'll want to use actual paint for this - gesso is used to prep/smooth a canvas.

To summarize, use big dry brusg on wet paint

What could we do if we wanted more vibrant colours?

@GregLowmanArt

9 ай бұрын

If you’re worried about muting your colors, just do it the exact same way without adding the white coat of paint first - kzread.info/dash/bejne/iGqetqeRgc2vZdY.html

Every time I watch a tutorial like this there is another piece of equipment I need. This time a blender brush?

@GregLowmanArt

8 ай бұрын

Not necessary but it helps to lay the paint on - could use a different brush (small square/wash or large round)

👍

Hii . Can u also teach blending with chalk paint @greg

I have a small paintbrush how can I make use of it instead of the blender brush

@GregLowmanArt

You don't need an actual blender brush, it just helps when applying the paint. Most brushes work fine (small wash, square, etc.) for that step.
