I have to thank you for doing this for us! I am a sketcher but pushed myself to try painting. I have no idea what I was doing or how to do it. I am working my way thru your course and my confidence (and painting) has leveled up so much!
I appreciate these fun fast-paced videos that are chock full of information that I hadn't yet learned anywhere else. So many things I didn't know! I haven't been as good to my brushes as I should be apparently. Learning about proper disposal of paint water in the other video was also something I wish I'd known. (So far, no plumbing issues. Phew!)
Wow! Wow! Wow! Excellent, excellent information whether you are new to painting or have painted a long time! Learned so much!! Thank you Cinnamon and John for putting this great informational video together. You are the best!!
I am so relieved all the information you have given me was information I didn't even know that I needed so thank you for covering all the bases and a few of them that I didn't even know were there
Awesome video, thank you. I wish I had watched this before going out to buy a variety of brushes. Of note, I have some old make-up brushes languishing in a drawer, so I have taken to using some of those too. Fun to experiment with them for sure and I have discovered that they are great for blending and snow/clouds. My practice canvas has so many layers of paint now, but it’s easy to spend an hour or more just practicing.
Thank you so much for all these incredibly well informed videos. I really appreciate how much effort you both put into these videos. I have learned so much already and I am excited to learn so much more. Thanks again 😊👌🏻
It's been a miute since I have painted after painting over 50 paintings! I'm going back and to see your face nade me soooo happy. Your hair your voice just how thorough you are bout every thing you teach us. WE ARE THE LUCKY ONES!!! i'M SO BLESSED TO HAVE YOU IN MY CREATIVE JOURNEY. Thank you so very much for all of it. One thing I'd like to say is i squeeze my brush right at the ferrel with a papertowel on either side of the brush, a bit more tender on the brush than adding any unnecessarystrokes! Just kidding totally. i just do it. when i need color in my life I go sttaight to you.
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your knowledge! I often wondered about all of the different materials that brushes were made of AND I did not know to wash brushes prior to use! YOU ROCK! THANKS!😊🎨❤
Like many others I am a true beginner. I have watched your first 3 videos and not only enjoyed them but have learned so very much. Thank you for doing these I am looking forward to beginning acrylic painting.
Shopping online today for brushes and had to pop over here and THANK YOU again for demystifying what ALL the different brush types there are! I usually just sign-out in frustration looking at the selections online. I am definitely enjoying this experience more KNOWING what is what and why! You are so awesome to break it down for us so we are shopping wisely! Thanks Again!♥
It is still very confusing on the brush charts, you have to look very closely. Any idea why the brush size is larger for the long handles and smaller dimensions brush size for the short handles?? makes no sense Example: #26 Bright short handle (24mm) is $17. and the #12 Bright long handle (25mm) is $26. ?
There is no sense to brushes and that is what makes them hard to buy online . The cost and size of brushes is also all over the place in many brush lines. Some makers go for the effort of being sensible but many many do not. For my brushes the graphics are on the website too for easier viewing
I am so happy that I found you☺️. I have been watching your tutorials for about a week now and have to say that I have learned a lot from you. So thank you 💖. BTW I have only been painting for about 2 months almost daily. Keep up the good work 💖. Appreciate you💜☺️
Your courses are amazing. Thank you! Especially thank you for providing them for free. I did get a little giggle when you spoke about painting with your hog... I had visions of you holding a pig upside down using its nose to paint with! Hahaha!
Thanks, I’m trying to learn basic techniques to acrylic painting. Looking forward to painting with you. I went to the website and signed up but then it was talking about monthly charges. Could you explain?
Hi Cinammon. Great Series. What do you mean when you said you prefer synthetic brushes? They can be nylon or whatever type of fibre. Just looking for you to be a bit more specific. Thanks! (John in Canada)
Hi there! Thanks so much for the videos :). What sizes brushes are you using for the brushes for this course? So sorry, if you have mentioned it in the video. I'm watching the videos in parts when I can with my baby 😅 and I can't find it. With thanks Sofia
theartsherpa.com/videos/1413/acrylic-brushes-everything-a-beginner-needs-to-know-and-forgot-to-tell-you-the-art-sherpa here is a link to a guide that has photos of the brushes you need with details about them
I went to 3 stores looking for a round with a great tip, like you suggested for the beginner course. I can't find one for acrylic. The only ones I could find were labeled as for watercolor. Do you have recommendations? I am trying to work my way through the acrylic for beginners.
Here is a link to my Amazon store where all my favorite brushes are. Even if you don't shop on Amazon it will give you the info you need to purschase them where you shop. www.amazon.com/shop/theartsherpa 🌻
O.k. I just rewatched the video...would you get a monogram line or a detail brush for very fine lines? Do you have either in your line of brushes? Thanks Cinnamon 😊
I have the monogram and fine liners in my brushes but the collection is selling out now so that may impact you finding them. Try here Theartshepa for 5% off and they always have good deals www.thebrushguys.com/
Hey! What is the name of the yellow? plastic triangles that the canvas is placed on to keep it off the table? I've seen people using them online and they look so much better than the pins added to each corner of the canvas (bottom).
My brushes are basically gone. What is out there is what is out there. You can look and see what is feft online at like Amazon, Michaels. The Brush Guys, Jerrys, Dick Blick, etc. But there just isn't a lot out there and they aren't being manufacutred any longer. 💟
Wow you are truly one of the very best teachers of anything I have studied in my life! Thank you for all the thoughtfulness you put in every part of your teaching. I haven't painted a picture in 15 years but I am a 1000% better artist without picking up a brush yet. Bless you and John for all you do and for the love and the joy you do it with. Today I went to my outside freezer and it's dead, everything's thawed. I came in got out my old paint brushes and turned on Cinnamon and John cause I know at 69 I am going to learn something new, and your beautiful energy will lift my day... at 2:25 and it's already worked ❤
Why do you NOT want us to hang our brushes to dry with the bristles facing down? I use a rubber band and do a quick loop tie and hang them from my shower curtain rod all the time. The water if any left drips down and gets out of the farrel. Thank you for teaching us. Althea
Althea so this was that question I did not predict from the class. So many people asked me and i will add to the minibook an additional note . You 100% can hang them heads down. I got focused on answering this from a first year painting place and forgot to add unless you are using a clip drying system with the heads down
I need new detail brushes so this was perfect for me. For very fine lines would you get a detail brush or something else? Also, can you reshape a brush by putting under something heavy after the hot water? The very fine tips of my detail brush is wonky because of user error. Thanks for all your time and help!😊🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
I have a few tricks for unwarping brush tips that have bent in the Brush Spa video i will make sure to show and demo that fix. Hold on to your brush for that video and you can do it with me
Do you know if anyone makes the 1" or 25mm bright brushes with a short handle? The only ones I have found have long handles and I've never been comfortable with long handled brushes. I paint sitting down and just prefer the short handled brushes.
Great video! Loved all the detail! I’m a real newbie & I’m absorbing everything I can. I’m uncertain if what I’m doing for cleaning brushes is okay or not, but we had our gallon of hand sanitizer near and I tried it on a brush I thought was thoroughly clean and I was surprised to see color bubbling through the bristles as I “painted” the sanitizer on a plate. The brush was amazingly clean! So, would this be an acceptable solution, after rinsing, soap, rinsing, etc? I don’t want to shorten the life of my tools! Thanks for teaching!
Hi Cinnamon, thank you so much for these very informative videos. However, I am a little confused regarding the measurements of the bright brush. In Australia 1” is approximately 25mm (as shown in the diagram) not 10mm as stated in the video. Can you please confirm the correct measurements for this brush? I’m so looking forward to painting along with your videos. 😁
I only find nylon hair brushes available in my country and I think I am lucky that I find these and now I have collection of different brushes sent because in my country that is not much knowledge about painting or fine art
@@TheArtSherpa yeah I am happy with that and my home studio was made by me and my sister just because of you I am really really thankful to you love you and support you from Pakistan
Cinnamon, what do you think of Joe Sonia’s artist acrylic colour paints that sell in Australia? Are they student quality artist quality or professional quality?
Such useful information - the main thing for me with acrylic brushes is make sure they are THOUROUGHLY cleaned when you have finished painted as they can be ruined.
I took up painting ten months ago. I watched this video for the first time about a month and a half into my painting journey, happily, before I started to upgrade my paints and brushes from the cheap beginner supplies that I started with. It is Christmas time, and my bride wanted to buy me some brushes for Christmas. It seemed like a good time to revisit this video to help my old brain to remember what to look for. I ordered some brushes from your online store. The brushes that you recommended picking in person I shopped for locally. Thank you again for helping me along my artistic path.
Hi, Cinnamon!! I'm BRAND NEW to not only acrylic painting but the art industry in general. My first ever painting was last week and I chose to paint your jellyfish and loved how it turned out! I am really enjoying painting so that's why I have decided to watch these beginner course videos! Thank you so much for taking the time to do these! They are a HUGE help! I do have a question, I am one of those people on a tight budget and I have zero knowledge on what I'm doing when it comes to painting...so my first acrylics are the Walmart essentials brand. What is your take on those?
Truth is they can be a little harder to paint with as they may be thin on color. If they give you any trouble as you use them up over time replace with Abstract Acrylic by sennelier as you can, These are paints in pouches and even though they are budget they are really good.I have a very short review video you will like to check them out th-cam.com/users/shorts1mHQjlF2-tw
I thought I had ordered pouncers; turns out I ordered a set ofTAS stencil minis :) I am sure I can find a use for them--but, if you have a suggestion for a painting that will teach me the stencil skill, lol . . .
I appreciate the details when you teach, and especially that you are not superficial about any issue of painting. I appreciate and thank you for your intellect and conscientiousness.
Thank you for your awesome videos! I discovered this course by accident. As a beginner at everything art related, I need all the help I can get. It doesn't help that I was born without talent. I really have to work hard at this. I'm starting to get a feel for it, and I've done a couple of things that were actually recognizable. You are a good teacher and your videos are easy to follow. I think you made these for me. I'm looking forward to seeing my progress and I expect I will improve a lot. You have a new subscriber!
In the description below the video is a list of brushes I use mose often. Also, in my Amazon store there is links and store for brushes I use. Even if you don't shop on Amazon you can get the names of the brushes I use. www.amazon.com/shop/theartsherpa. 🌹
Can you recommend a brand of paint brushes to buy online? I live very rurally are hours away from any place that would sell brushes so I have to buy them online. I have a good budget, so I’m open to anything you have to offer up as a suggestion. Thank you.
You can go to our store on the website and puchase the brushes I use. I like the Raphael brushes, I also use some Simply Simmons extra firm. I use Princeton, especially their mops, 🤍
I have these two minibook that cover that as part of the course a bit but i feel you may be looking for a single sheet and if so not yet but its a good idea and I should make one. until then try these free resources theartsherpa.com/theartsherpacommunity/file/426/beginners-acrylic-painting-course-brush-strokes-core-painting-skills-video-7 and theartsherpa.com/theartsherpacommunity/file/423/beginners-acrylic-painting-course-brushes-video-4
I CAME ACCROSS A TIP THAT AFTER WASHING YOUR BRUSH TO SMOOTH IT OVER BAR SOAP AND SHAPE WITH FINGERS AND LET DRY TO HELP PRESERVE THE SHAPE. WHAT ARE YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS ON THIS TECHNIQUE?
@@TheArtSherpa After 2 years today of working from home in isolation from friends and my coworkers-I can’t tell you how much it means to have found you and your channel. The world needs more of what you’re doing. Thank you so much for offering your knowledge and class for free to us all. ❤️💕
Hello Cinnamon, I’m so glad you teach this beginners course. I really needed something more formal than the “trial and error” method that I first learned from. This time however, I have to learn to paint with my right hand and not my left due to a an incident. I’m looking forward to completing this course completely and then moving smoothly with you in the live streams easier. Have a happy, healthy, wonderful day 😊
What do art schools teach you? Is it like, the life of famous artists ...? I'm self taught and have no idea what's taught in an art school that's supposed to give you the credit to say "I know about art". I study everything on my own outside a school. So what would make me "know about art" exactly? Just curious since I don't know what's in the actual curriculum. Also this is very helpful. I've gotta used to brushes a little bit this and the entire series is very helpful
I'm enjoying this series and learning a lot. However I am completely flummoxed trying to find the right brush size for the bright you describe at 21:05. Fool that I am, before stumbling across your videos, I had already purchased two sets of brushes that do not include a bright nor a fan! Could you just give me a brand / brush I can buy for this course? Thank you!
Any good stiff bright or fan will work. I didn't give specific brushes as beginners are usually just starting out getting supplies and they can be costly. A good bright would be a Simply Simmons extra frim #10. Great brush for a great cost.
We used to have a line of brushes but they are hard to find now. We are working on having a store online and we will have brushes you can buy from me I either make or hand pick out
I have to thank you for doing this for us! I am a sketcher but pushed myself to try painting. I have no idea what I was doing or how to do it. I am working my way thru your course and my confidence (and painting) has leveled up so much!

I love the fact that you're so detailed in this I can't wait start
Yes!!

Your a brilliant teacher 😃
I don't consider myself a beginner after 4 yrs, but I like to watch this video as a great reminder. Thanks Cinnamon!
Glad it was helpful!
Absolutely brilliant lesson, Cinnamon and John !
Thank you so much for this important and educational info on brushes !
Wonderful 🤗🎉🎉💕
Wow! Wow! Wow! Excellent, excellent information whether you are new to painting or have painted a long time! Learned so much!! Thank you Cinnamon and John for putting this great informational video together. You are the best!!

I am so relieved all the information you have given me was information I didn't even know that I needed so thank you for covering all the bases and a few of them that I didn't even know were there
Happy to help!
It is not mayhem. You are such a great art teacher. We are blessed to have you. So knowledgeable about everything and you explain so well Thank you !!
Thank you and you're most welcome 💚

Thank you for this information!☺️
You're so welcome!💕
I'd been told to never use hot water, to only use cold water to clean my brushes. Good info!
Barbera I understand why as hot water impacts glue and some natural hair but really for our synthetics and finger shaping its the best way
Thanks, I’m trying to learn basic techniques to acrylic painting. Looking forward to painting with you. I went to the website and signed up but then it was talking about monthly charges. Could you explain?
Hi Cinammon. Great Series. What do you mean when you said you prefer synthetic brushes? They can be nylon or whatever type of fibre. Just looking for you to be a bit more specific. Thanks! (John in Canada)
Lovely!
K N thank you are appreciated
What were the measurements for your round brush for the beginning course, the #4 you recommended
Hi there! Thanks so much for the videos :). What sizes brushes are you using for the brushes for this course? So sorry, if you have mentioned it in the video. I'm watching the videos in parts when I can with my baby 😅 and I can't find it. With thanks Sofia
theartsherpa.com/videos/1413/acrylic-brushes-everything-a-beginner-needs-to-know-and-forgot-to-tell-you-the-art-sherpa here is a link to a guide that has photos of the brushes you need with details about them
how do you make your soap? Do you sell it?
Is heavy body and full body paint the same?
Why o why are there not standards for brush sizes? 🎨
For the Mayhem
What type of soap is best being on budget? Thanks in advance and you really are an awesome teacher ☺️
On a budget a little down and a good washing practice goes a long way
Thank you...

Hey! What is the name of the yellow? plastic triangles that the canvas is placed on to keep it off the table? I've seen people using them online and they look so much better than the pins added to each corner of the canvas (bottom).
Do you mean the Painters Pyramid stands? I think you can also find them cheaper under the name Cabinet Door Risers
@@TheArtSherpa I have those but I’ve seen artists using larger ones. I have no idea what they are called. Will keep searching. Thank you!!
So I could use a watercolor brush with liquitex soft body acrylic?
You can just know the acrylic is hard on the brushes so you may not want to use a very expensive watercolor brush
PLEASE SUGGEST A GOOD ANGLE BRUSH (BRAND/Line) ????

How do you feel about using your brushes for both acrylics and water mixable oil paints?
Thanks, will pass this on to Spyder 💚

I appreciate the details when you teach, and especially that you are not superficial about any issue of painting.
I appreciate and thank you for your intellect and conscientiousness.
You are very welcome🧡
I am learning sooo much, thanks form australia
How do I get a D brush in Australia???
Thank you for your awesome videos! I discovered this course by accident. As a beginner at everything art related, I need all the help I can get. It doesn't help that I was born without talent. I really have to work hard at this. I'm starting to get a feel for it, and I've done a couple of things that were actually recognizable. You are a good teacher and your videos are easy to follow. I think you made these for me. I'm looking forward to seeing my progress and I expect I will improve a lot. You have a new subscriber!
im so glad i helped!
QUESTION: IF THE PAPER I'M USING FOR THE CLASS IS SMALLER, DO I NEED TO SCALE DOWN THE SIZE OF MY BRUSHES?
Yes, you really should. 💖
Thank you so very much!

You helped me save my bright brush with this brush survival tutorial 😭
Yay!!
Can you recommend a brand of paint brushes to buy online? I live very rurally are hours away from any place that would sell brushes so I have to buy them online. I have a good budget, so I’m open to anything you have to offer up as a suggestion. Thank you.
You can go to our store on the website and puchase the brushes I use. I like the Raphael brushes, I also use some Simply Simmons extra firm. I use Princeton, especially their mops, 🤍
Amazing
DO YOU ANY TYPR OF PFD THAT LIST EACH TYPE OF BRUSH WHAT THEY GOOD FOR. FOR EXAMPLE, MOP BRUSH IS GOOD FOR CLOUDS, ETC? Thanks
I have these two minibook that cover that as part of the course a bit but i feel you may be looking for a single sheet and if so not yet but its a good idea and I should make one. until then try these free resources theartsherpa.com/theartsherpacommunity/file/426/beginners-acrylic-painting-course-brush-strokes-core-painting-skills-video-7 and theartsherpa.com/theartsherpacommunity/file/423/beginners-acrylic-painting-course-brushes-video-4
I CAME ACCROSS A TIP THAT AFTER WASHING YOUR BRUSH TO SMOOTH IT OVER BAR SOAP AND SHAPE WITH FINGERS AND LET DRY TO HELP PRESERVE THE SHAPE. WHAT ARE YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS ON THIS TECHNIQUE?
That would not be really necessary, and for some brushes leaving soap on them would dry them out.💜
Hello. I went to the website but I don’t see brushes for sale. You mentioned them in this video so I’m curious if I’m missing something?
We don't sell any brushes directly, sorry 🧡
Did anyone notice the dolphin @20:24 ish. So cool.
Mabye …
What is the best way to clean your brushes without bending them?
Wash out paint with soap warm waters and your fingers,when clean finger shape, dry flat on paper towel
WHAT PROBLEM WILL I HAVE IF I USE A BRUSH FOR ACRYLIC PAINT THAT HAS BEEN USED IN THE PAST WITH OIL?
In simple terms its oil and water. The oil makes it so the acrylic wont work correctly. It may even flake off the canvas over time
I've been painting for a few years now, and this beginner course is teaching me a ton! Thank you so much for putting this together!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much! Getting my brushes soon and looking forward to getting started. So much great information here. Love your videos.
Yay! Thank you! 💞
@@TheArtSherpa After 2 years today of working from home in isolation from friends and my coworkers-I can’t tell you how much it means to have found you and your channel. The world needs more of what you’re doing. Thank you so much for offering your knowledge and class for free to us all. ❤️💕
Hello Cinnamon, I’m so glad you teach this beginners course. I really needed something more formal than the “trial and error” method that I first learned from. This time however, I have to learn to paint with my right hand and not my left due to a an incident. I’m looking forward to completing this course completely and then moving smoothly with you in the live streams easier.
Have a happy, healthy, wonderful day 😊
What do art schools teach you? Is it like, the life of famous artists ...? I'm self taught and have no idea what's taught in an art school that's supposed to give you the credit to say "I know about art". I study everything on my own outside a school. So what would make me "know about art" exactly? Just curious since I don't know what's in the actual curriculum. Also this is very helpful. I've gotta used to brushes a little bit this and the entire series is very helpful
Thank you so much for this course!!! I started in acrylic pouring and wanted more. I found it and your course. Thank you again.
I'm enjoying this series and learning a lot. However I am completely flummoxed trying to find the right brush size for the bright you describe at 21:05. Fool that I am, before stumbling across your videos, I had already purchased two sets of brushes that do not include a bright nor a fan! Could you just give me a brand / brush I can buy for this course? Thank you!
Any good stiff bright or fan will work. I didn't give specific brushes as beginners are usually just starting out getting supplies and they can be costly. A good bright would be a Simply Simmons extra frim #10. Great brush for a great cost.
🎉 thanks so much!
CAN I BUY A SET OF brushes from YOU?
We used to have a line of brushes but they are hard to find now. We are working on having a store online and we will have brushes you can buy from me I either make or hand pick out
