    Honestly I am thankful for the speed of your presentation, I’m always speeding TH-cam videos up otherwise I lose interest. Perfect upload helped me with exactly what I needed to know thank you .

    if you play back the video in .75x it's so easy to absorb the information at a slower rate. 😺

    Thanks for making this! I work at a craft store and love to paint, but i didn't know what half of the mediums did! Finally I can explain this stuff to my customers, and i get to use them better myself!

    Great information, bias as I see below , hold the bottles still they are moved around too much so next time hold the bottle still or on the table for 30 seconds so we can see the product name and manufacturing company. Thank you for all the information.

    Thank you for explaining all of the different types, it can be very confusing because there are so many different types !!! I love the fact, also that you're not sponsored by certain companies which means you aren't bias and give true opinions.

    Thank you so very much for saying it how it is! The chart on your blog helps determine when companies are talking about the same medium.but use a different name! Thank you thank you thank you!

    Thank you for all this info, and I personally don't t mind how fast you talk. In fact I find your enthusiasm very infectious!!! Gives my old arse the kick it needs!!! LOL!

  • @clarapiquero6215

    And I need to study it well. I have not painted acrylic before and have bought lot of different colors but I am so confused in how to mix anything. Your program is great to really use it like a guide to go to stores and continue buying mediums and not knowing how to use them. Thank you for your good presentation, great, thank you.

    Thank you so much for this video, you answered a lot of my questions. I had a good idea of the basics but I'm glad you showed some of the more affordable ideas, I would have never thought of window and door caulk. I also would love to find those interference colors, those look like fun to use.

    Thanks for this! I've been fumbling through acrylic mediums for the longest time. This gave me some great ideas on how to suit acrylic to my needs.

    I'm new to painting & your video told me everything I wanted to know about all of the gels & mediums out there!! I can't thank you enough for this wonderful tutorial (or primer😁)!! Looking forward to watching more of your videos!!

    Wow! I learned a TON in just the blink of an eye!! Holy cow you talk fast! I had to pause the video a few times just so I could let my brain, ears and hands (I was actually taking notes for later use...) catch up with what you were saying. Hahaha! I love, love, LOVE that you get so excited about your passion but... could you slow down just a little for those of us that are still out here in the weeds with what to do with all these super cool goodies? You rock Lindsay!! :D

    Omg thank you! I'm new to acrylics. Really, new to painting in general. I love it. It's an outlet for me to release, so I want to keep doing it. But, man, it is overwhelming when you start to see all the different mediums and what they do--very discouraging. I finally feel like I can digest some of what I've been reading. You rock!
