    OMG! Finally! Thank you for providing such clear and understandable information about mediums. Please consider explaining more of such things!!! All artist newbies should be given the gift of you. I learned more from you in this 10 min video than I have learned in the three years since I started working with paint. You rock!

    This is the best intro I've seen since ages! Crystal clear and so exhaustive, I'm really delighted to listen and learn ! I'm into watercolor but I'm about to start approaching some attempt of mixed media integrating a bit of white acrylic into my watercolors, and had no clue where to start because there are sooo many products.. I totally found my landmark for acrylics here! Thank you!

  • @sumantingairis1555
    @sumantingairis1555 ปีที่แล้ว

    This video really impresses me since I can simply comprehend what acrylic painting is. It also showed me how to use this example of a medium correctly. Since many individuals are interested in using acrylic as a medium, I think it's fascinating to see. Even though acrylic is easy to learn and quite intimidating if you already have the skills, I also learned about the basic components of acrylic painting, which include the pigments, binder, and solvent. And that's what I've learned from watching this video together.

    I'm really glad I found you, I bought gesso, thinking it was a "gac" for acrylic pouring!! I'm not the brightest crayon in the box...so I,will be retiring this. However, without even knowing, I believe I,used this when coloring my casted hands. Being that I,want to,add and then wipe off mostly using the black to just use as a detain light color, oh wait. No,its glazing!! Thank you so much

  • @iggysixx
    @iggysixx 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    By including the ingredients of paints and mediums in your explanation, you made this a very thorough and easy to understand overview.
    It's also evident that you have actually used the mediums you discuss; the pros and cons of each medium are very useful.
    I imagine you chose the Liquitex products for the video on account of the clear labeling across the range of products?
    (e.g. 'Fluid' is always color A, 'gel' is always color B).
    (Graffiti related brands (like Liquitex) are pretty sweet when it comes to packaging and color schemes, I think. I love the Montana Cans and Molotow ranges too. It's always very clear what's what)
    As has been stated by other people in the comment section; I've been looking for a video like this for quite some time now. Thank you

I had no idea what to get so I decided to go on TH-cam to find a video to learn about paint mediums. I am lucky that I chose to open this video! Now I know exactly what to buy & save money in the process-I was ready to buy all the wrong things for a beginner,so thank you for the lesson.

    Thank you. I loved oil painting when I took a class years ago. But I forgot the process of cleaning the oil, the liquids to clean, disposing the oil, and all that stuff so I'm looking to get acrylic paints tomorrow instead. I wish the the slow dry medium lasted a day or two.
