    I watched this video before about 2 years ago, but here I am again for a refresher. It's so easy to forget the foundation techniques.

    This must be oneof the most informative videos on acrylic painting I've seen since a long time. Many thanks! I've been struggling with the tacky paint without knowing it!

    Thank you so very much for this "acrylic - blending" tips video. I really appreciate it. Thank you also for all your "tip" videos. I was really needing to know how to get the "glow" in my waves with acrylics. Love this video - will prob watch it more than 20 or 30 times - at least ten to 15!!! Thank you, again!!!

Your voice is the best ASMR i have ever found on TH-cam, It’s so calming it helped with my insomnia ❤️ Please don’t get me wrong I absolutely love and appreciate your art, all I’m saying is that you have the best voice in the universe and it gives me all the right feelings 😊

    Thank you so much for this tutorial. This is the first time I have learned and come to appreciate the importance of right blending of acrylic paints, selection of brudh type, and wiping the brush before blending. No wonder my waves in the ocean and clouds in the sky look nothing better than blobs of paint that are highlighted by brush streaks. 🥵

    So I’m gathering that the foundation medium works differently to flow retarder? Or is it similar? Love your work, by the way 😊🥰

    What is the Mystery Medium ?
    Can I get it at Michaels or Hobby Lobby ?
    Or is this a proprietary medium that belongs to you exclusively ?

    • @jconearth6686
      @jconearth6686 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      not sure why he calls it a foundation medium but probably it is a matte or Gloss Polymer medium or maybe even a gazing medium...

    Love watching your tutorials. I know you are big Bob Ross fan. Me too! I learned so much from him and didn't even know it. Watched him for 20 years and only started painting about 5 months ago, and found all that stuff I learned from him coming out of the end of my brush! I've been using craft paint to do paintings and have had really good results, but as I buy new paint, I think I'll upgrade to your paints. I trust you to know they are good products and you aren't charging an arm and a leg. And thanks for this tutorial! It was great!!!

    If you mix your acrylic with gel medium, do you need to apply extra gesso to your canvas? Or the toning serves as gesso?

    @traviskeith4273 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    When you say "Wipe the brush, wipe the paint out of the brush" @ 10:20 are you referring to dipping the brush in water to clean it? Or just wipe off all the excess paint and use the kind of dry stuff underneath?

    • @KevinOilPainting
      @KevinOilPainting  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for your support! What I meant was wipe the brush on a paper towel to get the excess paint off the bristles.
