    Greg describes the blending so easy and relaxing

    The way you described blending dark toward light and then light toward dark to clean it up really clicked with me. It seems like such a “duh” thing now that you’ve explained it like that. You never know what little bits of info will be an epiphany for someone. Thank you.

    Thank you for taking the time and giving directions🤓. Others have demonstrated too quickly with a “just do it” attitude. You explain how. Again, thanks😘

    This could easily be an ASMR video. I'm incredibly relaxed, even though I have a project to finish.

      When the euphoria ends you will panic.

    I’ve seen recommendation that you run a wash brush (or others) back & forth over some painter’s tape or masking tape (something around that strength) to remove some of those loose bristles, so perhaps if others are suffering from that shedding as the paint gets stickier, that will help out. I found that tip while learning how to varnish & finish paintings, so in those situations you’re often using way cheaper, shoddier (perhaps even single use, disposable dollar store quality brushes), but I’m sure the same applies very generally.

    My paint dries out too quickly to do this, even with adding retarder. I live in a very dry climate. I see you’ve got a link to another blending technique so I’ll check it out. Thank you for your videos 🙏😊

    Are wash brushes also called something else?

    • @GregLowmanArt
      @GregLowmanArt  ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm sure they have a few names, but "wash brush" seems to be the most common

    What if it is already dry before u get the chance to erase all those brushstreaks??

    • @GregLowmanArt
      @GregLowmanArt  ปีที่แล้ว

      This is a different blending technique that will give you some more time th-cam.com/video/DjSVF9EUDbs/w-d-xo.html and adding slow-dri amzn.to/3GhL5gc to your paint will also help

  • @riddhilalchandani8546
    @riddhilalchandani8546 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    what will happen if I get the brush just a little wet while blending at last, coz it was so dried up...?

    • @GregLowmanArt
      @GregLowmanArt  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Usually the bristles will split and streak your painting. Adding some water or slow-dri amzn.to/3GhL5gc to your paint during the application step will be your best bet. Keeping the wash brushes completely dry at the end is the key. This is a little different approach that may make it easier: th-cam.com/video/9h1fO5ih7sI/w-d-xo.html

    My acrylic separates on the acrylic paper and don’t blend. What gives?

    • @GregLowmanArt
      @GregLowmanArt  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It’s pretty tough to blend on paper - this works best on canvas. It could also be the brand of paint or too much water.
