A stiffer bristle brush would work best. Do you have a hog bristle Flat brush? I think a wash brush would be too soft to give the effect.

I used Black Acrylic Gesso just on the bottom area to underpaint the rocks & water. I prefer LIQUIN ( made by Winsor/Newton ) as a clear medium. However, my own brand ( Bickford FastFlo Clear Medium ) will soon be on the market.

I use a #2 Script Liner.

@tomgpjr1 oil paint takes a long time to dry. i have paintings i painted 6 mounths ago that are still not completly dry, the ticker you use the paint the longer it takes to dry.

@Ebony1315 you can use any flat brush is my experience, but the fan brush gets the best result. i would advice you to buy a fan-brush as soon as possable cause i can be used for a lot of cool things with paint ;)

@17merryl i used to use acrylic too, but i switched to oil and everthing works more better now, don't want anything else now :D only thing i don't like is that oil thakes forever to dry, i have a few paintings i did 6 mounths ago and they are still not dry allover.

i wish i can paint like him...he made painting so easy to watch, i wonder if it would be that easy when i do it...=D

This is fantastic. I did this picture but didn't get the trees right so I changed them to taller pines. I also did it in acrylic as I haven't tried oils yet. Really want to tho. I've had so many compliments about the waterfall picture. Thanks for all your videos - you make it very motivating to keep painting.
