- The key to blending acrylic paint on canvas is to water down the paint to a creamy consistency and then use multiple dry wash brushes to smooth out the brushstrokes. This acrylic paint blending tutorial demonstrates and explains the complete process in detail.

Good tip for beginners
Unless you are mixing up large cups of paint suggest to new painters to use small plastic cups
Hey Greg, just wanted to tell you THANKS for the recommendation for the rechargeable airbrush sprayer. TEMU has a nice green one for 21$!
I didn't even realize such a critter even existed!---No noisy air compressor nor aggravating lengthy hose to work around.
A huge bonus to my work! Thanks Tons!🤠👍
(edit: Wouldn't mind seeing you do a tutorial on how you mix your non airbrush acrylic paint for different artistic effects)

Total newbie here...i clearly do not have enough brushes! STUNNING!
Little tip, cheap makeup brushes are Amazing for blending. The foundation ones work great.
Thank you for this! @@bostonbutterfly4473
I was not expecting him to get to 5 brushes 😂
You treated my OCD with kindness. As I watched the video I kept thinking to myself, “Okay I still see a harsh demarcation line between the yellow and what has become orange. Blend a little more here.” And it’s as we were communicating across space and time, because there you went! Absolutely beautiful! Probably not much of a compliment coming from me as I’m not even an artist. But my eyes are happy. 😂 Thank you, thank you!
I kept wondering when you were going to stop blending already but every time you did it got better and better. Thank you for that beautiful lesson 🥰✌️
The music is fantastic and so is the technique! Thank you for the training!
Thank you for this tutorial as I find this the hardest to do without muddying the colours.👍🏻
Thank you for th tutorial. It was plain and simple to follow.
You are an amazing artist and for me a great teacher! Thank you!!!
I have to try this tomorrow. Simply beautiful. Stunning. Thank you for sharing.
You do it so effortless thank you for sharing.

Omg this hypnotised me. Your blending is so perfect. 💯 ✨
Thank you for this tutorial. I really needed to learn this.
So easy and so beautiful 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great job ❤
Thank you. This is exactly what i have been looking for
AMAZING, THANK YOU FROM HEART
Nice. This is a skill I've struggled with for a while now
Never mind about the brush dear 😅. I realise now I'd never been using enough paint and it was too dry to get that perfect effect ❤This is very very helpful, many thanks. What type of brush is that?
Glad that it helped and I added the paint with a mop brush and blended it all out with dry wash brushes
Interesting way of doing a piece of art!
I ❤it n tks for sharing with us n keep up your amazing work

Beautiful. Great job.
Thankyou the video was very useful
Excelente técnica felicidades
Anyone ever thought of using what's called a beauty blender sponge in situations like this? I've found that they can cut the blending time way down. I am still working on the technique but it seems promising.
Yes, they work well!
Amazing 🤩
Very nice tips
Thank u
wow!! its so goood🤩😍 ... also felt like a satisfying video
Perfect ❤❤❤❤
I subscribed to your channel
Bravo 💖👏👏👏
Awesome sir
Very soothing 👍🏻
Thanks 🙏!!.
VERY NICE
Thanks❤
Minunat lucrați și aveți o muzică di fond excelentā !
Великолепно!!! 👍
Beautiful but clearly I need to up my brush game😂 I’ve never seen so much water used with acrylics. I’ve always heard too much water breaks them down but ig that’s what’s needed first a good blend. Great video thanks❤
THANKS
Amazing
I'm surprised by how much water is used. Word on the street is that too much water may affect the paint binding, so I have always mixed some medium plus water (I do see your opinion in the video that the amount of water you use doesn't affect the binding).
Exactly. What is the problem to people to just use medium?
That anti-water lie came from some TH-cam video some lady made. She blocked all comments so that people can’t correct her. You can literally use acrylic as a watercolor and the paint will work just fine. You can thin, glaze etc acrylics using water only and it will be JUST FINE
That's very interesting, thanks!@@afanaobeba7876
Too much water will affect the integrity of the paint though😢
...and so we go around in little circles...
I need to try to do this on a significantly smaller scale.
Very nice
Hi Mr Lowman 😊 only just seen your really good blending video , an area I struggle with being a newbie painter . Do you have a similar tutorial showing the blending technique , but using a larger canvas , say 40 x 50 cms and how to keep the paint wet on a larger canvas . It's just that it is easier for me to see on a larger canvas , but can not keep the paint wet . Thanks very much 😊
hi there, this one covers blending on a large canvas: th-cam.com/video/oec7O58RMl4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Aq-42H-9GbEf_K_u
Brilliant 😊 thank you so much Mr Lowman 😊
It's very nice
😮very nice
Beautiful ❤️ best wishes from your new subscriber
Awesome
Wow…..brilliant…..so…beautiful 😅
❤ merci
Very nice and beautiful and well done. In my painting, the sun is about half an inch, how i blend the sun that looks better? or how i can blend a small area in a painting? Thanks.
To blend small you can use a smaller brush like a round or filbert, get the bristles just wet enough to break up the paint, do circles on the color changes, and continuously wipe the bristles off when they fill w/ paint. Skip the last step and don't go over the area with a dry brush to avoid smearing/streaking. You can blend pretty much anything doing this, even smooth skin tones - th-cam.com/video/tD3XEGaQwwg/w-d-xo.html
We'll like more on blue sky
wonderful video! thank you so very much! but why would someone get mad because you used a towel?
WoW, Colors and Art are So Very Beautiful and Fantastic Art, Thanks for Sharing. 🙏 🙏🙏😋😍🤩🤩👌👌👌🧡🧡🧡💫💫💫
Always best in silent movies
Bellooo marisa😊
Something that has become very useful to me is a spray bottle that is mostly water, with a few drizzles of vegetable glycerin, and about 1/4 full of arcylic paint thinner medium. The liquid is transparently milky white. I can mist it over my palette, I spray it directly into cups, sometimes on to my brush, and rarely, I spray my whole canvas with it.
This stops the "dusty" effect when I use too much water on my acrylic paint without me noticing. It keeps the pigments bound, extends the working time, is cheaper than using mediums directly, and somehow ends up working more smooth than water.
I tend to do 100 glazes so overwatering arcylic could be a big problem for me. In fact, I would have made this gradient by glazing, and it would have been very frustrating and taken longer.
🤔I should buy a soft large brush, because all my really big brushes are rather stiff and meant for latex wall paint
Some good info. Were the acrylics or canvas pre coated or mixed with titanium white paint? I know it can kill the vibrancy in colors but have also learned without it colors can also lose some brightness when dried
No titanium white was added, just primary yellow + red
This music made me start to fall asleep 💤
Beautiful. Do you use the same technique if you are painting a sky for example? (Ie not circular)
For a basic sky background I would probably do something like this with lighter blues at the bottom and a darker blues at the top: th-cam.com/video/hpnVMVxA3zo/w-d-xo.html
❤️ My basic technical problem is the blending technical procedure If you use a little bit of linseed oil will that help instead of waty? I've just subscribed , actually I've been working with watercolors Thanks for the video ✅
Water is going to be best. If your paint is drying too quickly, you can add some slow-dri amzn.to/3GhL5gc to it, but linseed oil is used with oil paints & will not help you here.
Гипнотизирует. Спасибо.

Excellent ❤❤❤
How do you know when you used to much water? I'm guessing the quality of the paint helps because they probably have better binding than the cheaper ones...idk. I tried painting couple years ago and my pictures kept cracking
Your paint should never crack, even after many years - applying it too thick or using a cheap brand is usually what causes that. A good paint will even allow for watered-down glazes and washes without cracking/peeling. You may want to try one of the paints below and shoot for a creamy consistency like shown in the video:
Liquitex - amzn.to/3UX6XVz
Winsor & Newton - amzn.to/3Telf2P
Golden - amzn.to/3UW5HC4
@@GregLowmanArt thank you for the advice I appreciate that
Excellent job, but where do you get the dry wash brushes to do this dry blending work?. FIVE brushes can be very costly, right?
They're ~$1-$2 each so not bad:
amzn.to/45HNPhf or amzn.to/3xk1sn1
I get them at lowes or home depot pretty cheap. For dry blending brushes. About $3.50 a piece.
Good
nice

Hello Professor 🙋🏻♂️why did paint the orange color before starting? Do we have to paint the same color before starting any acrylic painting? Can I use another cool colors?
Not speaking for the professor. But I would tell you its art. Experiment. There are no rules. What works for you
No, you can use many other colors - doesn't have to be orange
JUST GREAT?????
beautiful! how is it that the wash brush does not spread the color out of shape?
Thank you and it will if the bristles are too stiff. It needs to have soft bristles for this to work
@@GregLowmanArt will try 🤩
Legit
👍
👍👍👏👏👏💥
❤❤❤👍👏👏👏
Are you starting with heavy body acrylic?
These were the exact paints used:
