Only thing I use acrylics for is underpaintings for oils...even with retarders they simply dry too fast and ruin brushes (regardless of how quickly and thoroughly I clean them).
i was just looking at your website and saw your gallery pics, and i literally said outloud to myself "wow" except it was more dragged out like woooow lol. you are inspiring!
I really want to paint a beach scene...but i'm too afraid that painting the water is going to be too difficult for me...with all the shading and whatnot.
one thing to realise is u cant paint water or the sky you can only paint paint, so if u look at the water in terms of an overall colour and value, paint that then say ok theres a sharp edge or theres a soft edge, think shade, light and experiment. in all cases regardless of subject matter you paint COLOUR, VALUE, EDGES, AND PAINT QUALITY, (thick or thin paint) use some thick paint where the light hits the water....get some shapes, try to realise wat u want to paint and just do it! hope it helps
Why did he paint the entire lower half yellow if he was going to paint it blue later? I'm not trying being sarcastic, I just want to know if it helps him. I'm trying to learn how to paint.
thats great work ........... i would like to put my paintings up on youtube but i dont know much about computers...... just like u said im a painter not a film director..... great arkwork
U should try watching this video while playing St. elmo's fire. start the song and then as soon as you can start this video, it works almost too well.
Karl andrew i take my hat and bow at your work, i've seen your other paintings in deviantart, and i have to say that ur work on fine art has inspired me to continue my drawing, thanks 4 everything!!!

Just do it! If it's rubbish throw it away and do another!

youll never know til you try.
its not as if someone will die if you fail, so whats to lose?
the good thing about painting is that you can usually keep working it til you find a place where you are happy with it.
dont worry about it....just do it !!!!!!!! : )
