I have been following your artwork for so long. You are absolutely one of my favorite artists. I just recently started painting and I am self taught. You just have been such an inspiration to me. Amazing.

what kind of brushes and paint do you use.how do you thin your paint out to get that thin or do you buy it that way please let me know..p.s i enjoy watching your videos and i love your paintings

[MartinaPaintings]

@brecherie1 The black paint is liquid acrylic paint - you can buy it like that, it's a fluid paint. You can thin regular acrylic paint with water and/or acrylic medium that you can buy in an art supply store. I use round brushes for acrylic paint and also Chinese ink brushes.

stunning! can you estimate the number of hours you worked on this? i usually take really long and was just wondering how much it would take a professional like you. thanks!

@bettyjoon3 What takes the most time is not painting it (that just a combination of years of practice, skill and talent) but actually inventing the image :)
