Acrylic Shading and Blending

[interstellar918]

@ihateboys011086 We artists, create from emotion kept in our hearts. We live by our hearts, not always with our hearts. We ride the shoulders of the giants eventually becoming the giants! The ear best hears when it's neighboring mouth is closed. Let the mind be like a room full of mirrors reflecting all things seen and heard, internally. Storing it away without reprisal , create a new work of art more pleasing to the viewer as you have done this, time and time again. Live humble & master it

[rofflemows2]

who gives a crap about the music, can't ya just watch and enjoy, and maybe learn something useful  =P

i liked the vid anyway...just started using acrylics myself, having kind of a hard time transitioning from sea to sand...but i may get there someday, with a bit of luck =/

Was going to look, heard Evanescence, said 'fuck that' and stopped the video. Not going to watch it now.

@horohorosrin Dude, chill. There's this little button right beneath the video called "mute."

[horohorosrin]

@Porrie13 No. Not even good enough.

[Pantz050512345]

great work that you've done! I just wish there was some actual commentary on the brushes you chose to use as well as your color selection!

[DomoLove4k]

First of all nice job... But I have a question that has almost nothing to do with you painting... What song was that playing?? And who was is by?

[bytonynguyen]

Spectacular !!!!

[xxrookiexx1]

Is this liquid paint or from the tube. Please respond, because i need help blending. I ruined one of my paintings by adding water to blend, which was exactly what not to do, as i know now.

[RLSell1992]

I think you should have showed how you blended :)

[melie600207]

What type of paint brush are you using?

[kahea2018]

How do you keep the pencil from showing through when you paint over it, is it the thickness of the paint?

[fantasypoet2]

I really like your style! I learned a lot from just watching you.

[ihateboys011086]

@fantasypoet2 Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've recently started working in the graphic design industry so maybe I should try making videos of my graphic illustrations...whatcha think?

[happyheart88]

Years of practising but I still can't get that well blended results like I achieved with pastel or oil....:(

[labiner]

Why music? It adds nothing. Why not explain how much paint you use, how wet is it, reposition the camera so your hand won't block the view, add a bit more light. Pull the extra effort.

[ihateboys011086]

@labiner Sorry it's a late reply. And thank you for your input. I look at the videos now and I see alot I could improve on but I was taping these myself with only the camera attached to my laptop. I did what I could and I'm glad some people still got the message. The music is just what I like, sorry you didn't. There's always the mute button :)

[carlabutterflywoman1]

@labiner Um, be grateful that she's sharing in the first place. Stop criticizing people because you're bored and unhappy.

Ok, so I have looked up and down for tips on shading trees, and I can't find one damn thing. Think you can help me out here?

[ihateboys011086]

Lmao..well I don't really paint trees myself..at least I haven't yet. But I guess the technic you use would depend on what type of tree you want to paint and how realistic you want it to look. The best advise I can give you is to look up some videos by Bob Ross..he's known for painting "happy trees" :) Sorry i couldn't help more.

[ihateboys011086]

For me the trick is keeping the paint wet..all colors that you're using. It's hard to do with acrylics since they dry so quick, but if you work fast you'll get it. Just keep practicing. :)

[bluedooke]

thow did you blend the brown into the cream with a smooth finish!? i always get lines across
