I had a snooty woman in an art store tell me acrylics were for amateurs and that i wasn't a true artist if i didn't ever paint using oils.

[theTRUE1414]

very good video ^^, i use water colour but recentley iv been thinking of useing acrylic... i thougfh it was hard to do detail with it but i just figured out a few days ago that you can water it like water colout xD ...

[dazmanicUK]

thanks for this video, very helpful

[GuitarPhoebe]

Thanks a lot for making this. I heard a lot of great things about acrylics but I had no idea how to use it!

[gatorgirl87651234]

i think painting comes from the soul not from ways that other people made do it your own way but this is good advice for beginers

[Skebberz]

Ahhh good stuff! I've always used watercolour as they are easy to mix, and if you make a mistake you can easily take it out with ur paintbrush, but when I tried acrylic I was terrible because it dried so quick in comparrison! Then I tried Oil, and not only was it a nightmare to paint with (tried thinning it down with white spirit/linseed oil), it took WEEKS to dry. I want to become better at painting tho. ta for posting this!

[theTRUE1414]

hehe yeh i paint with water colour 2, i might try acylics though

[LMLNet]

what paint type should begginers use?

oil?

[stacygulick]

he's using acrylics here

[lidz1000]

no. i was told that since oils take so long to dry, acrylics are best for begginers because they dry fast and you can layer with them. : )

[RagingLampoon]

Whoot! Awesome tutorial!

Thanks, great video.

I taught myself all of this but could have saved tons of money and frustrated pieces of art if I would have seen this video first.

[rodzero007]

i will spend time on this computer just to learn all of these

[illmatic6211]

I was about to pay for a class just to learn some of the things I learned on here. Thanks!!!!

[cleopatrajones1977]

Thanks for the pallette tip! I'll be using that!

[sara301]

That was a great introduction to acrylics. I was given some acrylics for xmas and intend to have a go v. soon. Cheers.

[XxnicckkXx]

Whats the stuff hes using to prime the paper?

[chchchemical]

It's called gesso (the "G" sounds like a "J"). It's a mixture of calcium carbonate, latex, and usually titanium oxide (to whiten). You can buy it pre-mixed at craft stores. I'd recommend using only one coat since it may crack if it's too thick.

Hope that helps :)

[shmc66]

Very well done!  Thanks so much for the advice.

[PersianPrince66]

ive been painting with oil for about 10 years now but im gradually switching over to acrylic ever since i experimented with it, its alot easier and better variety thanks for the tutorial

[xiaowensh]

It's very helpful, the best teaching programme! And Bob, you're very funny, I love you!

[denco1951]

Bob your the best!!!

[tantricdithers]

this is so useful compared to other supposed tutorials. i'm glad i came across this. you rock. :)

[monicatlink]

Thank you Bob!

[lrosmond]

Thanks so much for your video! It's great to find someone willing to share their knowledge with others. I am going to check out your website now!

[yurielvin]

just what i was looking for............

[alimay101]

Great video, as a beginner painter I am finding Acrylic easier other than its tendacy to dry. Thanks.

[BobDavies88]

Yeah, you're right about the brown colour. I realised this myself after I'd posted the vid. Blue would have been better. However, if someone learns from my mistake, then the 'poo painting' has done its job in a way I didn't quite intend...!

Cheers

Bob

[snowwhi73]

Some wonderful tips and I can't wait for the next video... thanks so much

[Stephaniewatercolour]

Hey Bob... so glad to see this.  It really helps a beginer... and your good for a few laughs to :)

[oliveiraanao]

[baybea]
