[TheSprart]

fantástico, obrigado

[EckeVonDinho]

First of all I would like to say that your paintings looks amazing!

Secondly I would like to ask; Because I doesen't got any erlier experience in painting with oils.

Is it hard to start painting with oils without ever been doing it earlier, and/or what should I think about when painting; techniques, colors. etc, etc.. Also, when i buy Oils. Should I go for something a bit more expensive, or should I go for something cheaper?

Thanks!

Whats the differnet between acrylics and watercolour?

[PaintBasket]

@YuukiKuranPrincess there is quite a big difference especially when it comes to the techniques used. Acrylics are a lot thicker whereas watercolours are used very thin. Best way to get an idea is to watch a few of our watercolour demos and you'll quickly spot the difference. As far as creating your bushes are concerned you will still use the families concept

@YuukiKuranPrincess

Acrylics are like oils but waterbased (thinned with water). That means you can make very very thick layer of them (relief-like structure). Watercolours are just "coloured water" ;) You can also make glaze with acrylics and with watercolours you cannot. Best regards, Greg

[TheNikkiSaurous]

I know this is a noob-ish question but what is the difference between oil paint and acrylic paint?

[PaintBasket]

@TheNikkiSaurous there is no such thing as a noob Q, only a noob answer ;-) Oil paints have an oil base and acrylics have a waterbased acrylic base, then they have pigment added to give it it's colour. I have a live equipment class on our website this week which will explain it in more detail if you want to attend

I thought i would prefer to paint animals and portraits but really love painting landscapes, especially trees and bushes, and this was so helpful, it shows exactly how to combine colour and brush strokes to produce a remarkable end result, thanks for the help, wish i'd known about youtube painting tutorials before.
