Expert Village is a Noobs Village

The paint would dry before she'd finished cleaning the brush! Why isn't she using a stay-wet palette! They're essential for acrylics because the paint dries in a few minutes.

Thank you for this.

I am a Falun Gong practitioner. Falun Dafa is a cultivation system in the Buddha School based on the principles of the Universe:

真 Truthfulness

善 Compassion

忍 Forbearance.

Since 1999 it has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in China.

People are being killed, tortured, put into concentration camps and have organs harvested from live people, simply because of their belief.

There are a lot of amateurs supposedly "teaching" online...well-meaning and nice, but don't know squat.

What you want to see, as the effect, on the canvas or paper, is not a wall of paint, but see areas of the bristle brush texture, and areas where there is no paint. That way, the next color, or tint/shade of color you add, and scumble, will add areas to that passage, and not hide all the color you just tapped on, or scumbled on. It will be like adding almost translucent color layers to a painting. And it can look so convincing, when you're trying for the effect of creating a tree, bush, etc.

[medartist01]

Ideally, scumbling works when the paint you load on the brush is 'dry.' That is, after you load it, by tapping it into the paint, you then tap off the excess, until you can then see the bristles of the brush when you tap it into the canvas. A bit of a dry-brush technique. You don't want the paint to be buttery, or watery, or it will just be a round circle of paint on the canvas or paper. But again, load the paint, and then tap off the excess on a towel or excess cardboard, then scumble away!
