Why couldn't she shoot me the face with the fine mist one instead of the laser death beam one? NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THE FINE MIST!
Fine mist wasn't enough to discipline your judgments.
Apparently “Positive Reinforcement” isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be! 🤕
I have to commend you Matt on your absolute commitment to Lisa, taking one in the eye for the team!! I absolutely LOVE the humor of your couples videos. Both of you rock! Thank you Lisa, I enjoy your lessons tremendously! BTW… I enjoy my wine the same way… any comments really deserves a squirt 🤣

Hi I have just found your wonderful, easy to follow video's with humour thrown in (God Bless your husband ! ) I am 74 and have just got back into painting with Acrylic after a long time ... ugh ... back to basics for me, lol, also have discovered Coloured Pencils and Adult Colouring Books, all of which is making me a lot happier 'home alone' along with my adopted greyhound 'Sunny'. So delighted to have found such in depth videos and I am enjoying your company as I start from scratch again. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into these. Cheers from 'not so sunny' Australia at the moment ... winter just started :)
I have recently learned the fine mist water technique when painting northern lights, but I’m happy you’ve helped me to appreciate that it can be used in so many other acrylic applications. I started painting in my 60’s and turned 70 yesterday. Videos like yours are giving me more and more confidence to press forward. I’m enjoying it so much more now that I’m seeing some advancements with each painting. Never too old to learn more and more!!!
Thank you
I'm 61 and am starting painting now.I thought I was the only one, glad to find a kindred soul😄
That's awesome! Happy birthday!! ♥️
@@marciabarreto780 I started at 61. I just turned 67. I am painting raccoons right now. I started the painting late last year and had a long interruption. So I’m thrilled to see that Lisa painted this gorgeous raccoon in the meantime! (My icon is a coloured pencil piece I did from a Bonny Snowdon tutorial - it really is never too late!)
@@SabineLeppanen_Art Congratulations, Lachri, it encourages me!
I have a fine mister that I use on canvas b4 applying paint as well as on my paint to keep open...BRILLIANT tip on applying while trying to blend...will try that tonite!!!
The first time I tried oil paint I lived in very very humid Mississippi. I loved working on it but I was also young and painted really thing for that chunky look and IT TOOK FOREVER to dry. Now I'm in dry mountains so it's much nicer. I still don't love oil, but when I do my pet portraits I like to mix media and love using oil for the background when I'm patient enough
Oh going to try this! Have gone from acrylics to oil (because of the smoooothness) but now I have a lot of acrylics just laying around. Thank you!!
Great work!
Awesome tips, thankyou so much!
This was funny as hell - and super informative! Thank you!
LOL just hillarious!!! your a good egg Matt!
I'm using Acrylic Retarder (from Schmincke) for my Acrylic paintings. It's so damn good, it absolutely changes the way of painting with Acrylics because the drying time is much longer and I can blend the colours much better. Still not as long as with oil paints, but I usually have 10-30 minutes on the canvas (depending on how thick the paint is and how much retarder I use), which is absolutely fine for me. But the tip shown in this video with the sprayer and the soft bruch is absolutely great, thanks for that. I will definitely try it out when I do an animal painting.
I have always done clouds while I have a wet background
Superfunnyvideo and very educational. I almost cried when you sprayed your husband with the sprayer.... lmao 🤣😂
I think I heard you say that you use Liquitex basics…have you tried Nova Color paints? I would love to get your opinion about those paints.
I love your blouse did you make it?
Being a 3D artist, I thought painting would be dirt simple. I was wrong...
I decided to work in acrylic, so I watched a lot of beginner tutorials, but it seems like they dab some color here, and a few strokes there, and it looks kinda like something until you step away and that's when the magic happens. It looks really cool, but not real...
I'm a detail kind of guy. I don't think like that. I see shapes and lines, and it gives me fits to dab and smear. :)
Your channel is a breath of fresh air. I loved the spray bottle on the Hubby. I almost choked on my coffee. I used one on my cat and he hated it. Kept him off the table for sure.
That racoon is perfectly rendered and it looks like a photograph! That to me is painting.
Thanks for sharing the funny and informative video.
Thanks!! I'm with you, I love the detail sort of work. Also, no choking on coffee...that's a waste of important caffeine! :P
Asking as I'm watching, so sorry if you cover it later.... do you use the same mop (blush) brush through the painting? I would think it would need to be cleaned off and dried constantly.
I usually have multiple mop brushes available because they need to be clean and dry to work. If it starts picking up too much paint, I don't have time to clean and dry it before the paint on the canvas dries, so I grab a fresh one in that case and clean both after I'm done with that stage. :)
It took a small bit of practice, but now my relationship with acrylic paint is vastly improved. I almost cried when I made the softest, puffy, fluffy, wispy clouds ever in my painting career! Lisa, I thank you for this and all you have taught me.
Same😅❤
I've used a fine mister for years. I love the one from chroma atilier. I realized I had stumbled onto something amazing when several people who "hate acrylics" due to the plastic look just gushed over my work and "loved my oils"...that were acrylics. I don't work with oil paint. I'm so glad to see someone sharing this with beginners!
You and your husband are hilarious 😆 ❤️
You do not have problems with the layers already there "unglue" from the substract when you mist it?
@@tiagodagostini Do I have issues with the previous layers of the painting coming up? Never. I let the paint dry completely before adding another layer. I only use liquitex and golden so results with other brands may vary.
Hahahahaha loved this! You’re husbands such a good sport. Thanks for the painting tips as well. Definitely going to give them a try, I totally lean to the smooth blending. I fear I often overblend🙈
Overblending is easy to do with this technique. You only need a couple of swipes with that mop brush (or blush/powder brush in my case) to get good results. If you're doing more than 5 swipes with the brush it's probably too much!
I prefer oils……BUT, you also need ( for your health’s sake) good ventilation. Winter time makes it more difficult because you can’t crank open windows. Acrylics-winter, oils-summer.
I'm so glad we have both to choose from!!
I use pure lavender for layer one. Walnut oil for other layers.. Turpenoid natural for brush cleaning and a tiny bit for paint thinner.
Non- poisonous . Might need slight ventilation . The lavender very strong odor but NOT. Toxic to breathe or on skin.
Dries faster too than. Linseed oil not toxic like turpentine or mineral spirits
Actually acrylics need some ventilation too, there's offgassingbthats harder to smell but can still affect us
@@danielleo6855 mostly to those that have allergies.
Some acrylic paints have heavy metals so getting on skin can be hazardous.
But some acrylic brands have removed all heavy metals from their products.
With a little research, someone using acrylics over oil is far less likely to be toxic enough to cause any damage.
But if you think about it… almost anything in life now can cause some sort of harm…
All cleaning sprays, some deodorants, etc.
The point is, it’s nearly impossible to completely avoid it…
So artists might as well enjoy acrylics indoors and not stress about it…
Omg your husband's willingness to be on your videos and be sprayed with a water bottle is commendable, amazing and HILARIOUS!
Im just starting to explore acrylics, so I appreciate the tip!
I laughed so hard when she squirted him in the face, and he couldn't hide his smile. Great sport.
I’ve been using the fine mist sprayer for years now my professor in college who also mostly oil paints taught us this first lesson. glad to see other artist also using this style ❤️I love your art ❤️
Thank you
I loved that you use a make up fluffy brush to blend. They are definitely the best for that! Thank you for these amazing tips! ❤️
I've avoided acrylics for years simply because I've not been able to make them look like oils, which are my first love. But now... fine misting! Who knew?!?. I'm so glad you're video 'accidentally' popped up in my feed. I can't wait to try this.
YAY!! I'm so glad I could help!!
Oh my gosh that racoon painting is cute and beautiful!!
Awesome tips for blending!!! It is one of my most frustrating things but I just don't want the added dry time and even more so money and cleaning solvents that you need with oils. So I look forward to trying this :) thanks!!
And your hubby is a great sport!! Every good marriage has lots of laughter and clearly you guys do!! 😁
This painting is amazing. You’re super talented. And you inject humor and have your husband help out. And you explain everything, and describe the brushes too 😭 Protect this woman at all cost.
I love the new format! Very entertaining and informative at the same time. The live streams were a bit worn out, people asking the same questions over and over...
This painting is beautiful and the tips on blending are great!
Thank you!! I'm so glad you liked it! :D
Thanks to you I now have two fine mist spray bottles and they are amazing! Loved seeing you play violin and the “husband control” ❤️😂
Thanks! :D
I use Matte medium to make my acrylics look like oils. Thank you for mist tip.
I'm a beginner, could you tell how to use the matte medium? What is it?
@@marciabarreto780 I take my paint brush, dip in matte medium, dip it then in my paint, place it on canvas, then lightly add tip of brush to water, go to area with pain and matte medium and work my paint. I can add more medium, water color to get it to move and flow. I hope this helps.
@@dolphinschild62 Thank you😀
@@marciabarreto780 my pleasure
Ive been getting a similar effect by using Golden Open white and medium which I mix with my regular soft bodies. Its been a game changer in creating soft transitions. I painted a Bouguereau study that came out just as good as oil.
What's the difference between soft body and open?
@@kelb6073 Soft body acrylics are more liquid like in consistency. Open acrylics are another type of acrylic that are designed to stay wet longer.
I’ve been using open medium with good results but this technique looks even easier and cheaper.
I’m going to try that, thanks! Do you post pictures of your work online? I would love to see it.
@@SabineLeppanen_Art I have an instagram. Same name. Cheers.
hello Lisa.
I just found your channel with great information on painting with acrylics which I love.
I paint as a hobby during my spare time after work then I give my paintings to friends and family for special occasion. I think relating to art, we always going to be learning from other more experience artists.
By the way.
Do that spray bottle works on wives?
GREAT VIDEO LISA!!! That made me laugh so hard and put me in a better mood to start my painting thank you so much!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love the instructions the information and your technique thank you so much I'm your new friend...or student thanks again
I adore your sense of humor. I got a fine mist bottle and now have improved paintings and husband😉
LOL YAY!
Do you go through a lot of those blush brushes? How do you prevent the acrylic form ruining the fluffiness? I’d imagine you can’t get the brush too wet because then it won’t be fluffy enough.
I always keep several on hand so I have a clean/dry one ready to go all the time. They won't ever be ruined by these techniques. You shouldn't be getting much paint or water on the brush or it won't work. You're barely letting the tips of the bristles touch the paint, they really aren't rubbing against the canvas at all if you're doing it right. If you push hard or are scrubbing at the canvas with them then that could damage them, but that technique would be the opposite of what you want to happen for this anyway :)
First time on your channel, and I liked this video as soon as you sprayed your husband in the face, but that raccoon painting was the most incredible acrylic painting I've ever seen!
Another great video Lisa (and Matt)! Made me 😂. Your tips for a fine mist sprayer and blush brushes were game changers for me and my frustrations with acrylic. I tried a smooth canvas with my last painting and I was amazed by the difference it made. Thanks for all you do!
I'm so glad to hear that!!
Great tutes & humour. And yeah, my ADHD means I get the hair dryer out the minute I finish a section on any acrylic as anything more than 30 sec wait drives me nuts.
This was such a fun and informative video! I willl check you out on Patreon!
Wow! Thank you so much for this tip! I never knew! Also you are super quirky and have a great sense of humor! 😂
Thank you! ♥️♥️
Hilarious! You go Matt! Disciplining a husband hahaha! And Lisa, over 68,000 views impressive! So happy it’s working just the way you thought! Love the raccoon and the humor!
Lisa, I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your videos (though I never comment, but really should). Your techniques resonate with me and your personality alone is worth watching. Thank you for this excellent tip. I have heard about people using oil on acrylic and was thrilled to see you do this too. I was going to go out and purchase a few oil paints to try on my own acrylic paintings, but now I may wait for my mister to arrive ( thank you for the link) and try this method first. I’m used to pastels and colored pencils, so it’s still hit or miss if a painting turns out the way I want it to. I’m hoping this will help!! Thank you again for sharing all your wonderful tips and techniques with us. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!!! That is so nice to hear
@@Lachri You probably get so many people talking about you, but I wanted you to know I mention you a lot in the videos I made recently on my channel. I didn’t see your spray bottle technique until I worked on the final part but I let everyone know where I learned it. Thank you again. It’s actually making a big difference in my paintings.
Ty for a fantastic funny relaxed introduction to misting technique. I love your approach to being fun relaxed and informative in your videos. Oh and your husband is a sport for getting squirted for the video 😂
oh god, just today I was struggling with making a smooth circular gradient!
Also quick question, do you swap blending brushes for lights and darks or do you somehow clean it in between? I also use a makeup brush to do the blending but it keeps pulling color from one to another because I don't want to clean it off with water so as to not get it wet snd loose that fluff...
I'm happy to see a like-minded woman regarding husband discipline! I always say squirt bottles work great on kids, cats and husbands, lol.
I understand you spray your husband but honestly the racoon did nothing to deserve it :C
I used to use oils, and they are great, but the slow drying issue annoyed me a lot.
I briefly switched to watercolor (mainly Gouache). I liked them, but they didn't really suit the style of art I do.
My move to using tube acrylics was, at first, a bit of a disappointment. After doing a bit of research, I found out about the difference between student grade and artist grade acrylics. I swapped to using artist grade and the quality difference was obvious.
A little while later, I decided to try liquid acrylics. The liquid acrylics I use, were developed primarily for airbrushing. However, I started test them out, using conventional brushes as well.
It worked and now my paintings are 90% brush and 10% airbrush. With many, brush only.
I do some dry brushing using them, however, for soft blending, I will use the airbrush.
For me, the one crucial thing I discovered was not to use water to thin my acrylics.
Water tends to break down the binders in the paint and they dry with flat dull look.
Fortunately, the acrylics I buy (Createx Wicked), have a purpose made reducer, which does not break the quality/stability of the paint.
Not long ago, an artist friend of mine, suggested I try using water based oils.
I bought a set of them, but, given my comfort zone is with the liquid acrylics, I have not yet tried the water based oils.
Every painting you do, will teach you something new. You will never stop learning your craft.
Cheers
If you already have an airbrush you already have a sprayer. All you have to do is just use water. It works as well if not better especially for painting and blending in smaller areas.
As soon as you sprayed your husband I immediately subscribed, love the tips also 👌🏻
Yay! Thank you!
You are very talented.I love all your designs.super super. 👌👌
Muchas gracias por esos maravillosos consejos. 😊
Educational AND entertaining.... well done!! Thank you for these awesome tips!
Thank you :D
Loved this! A very enjoyable lesson to watch!...in more than one way!😉 The raccoon painting looked really awesome! So life like. Will check out your art lessons. Thank you😊
Great video! A water mister and mop brush are are now on the to buy list. Love your sense of humour.
You are awesome. You just gained a new subscriber I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us.
This was amazing you’re hilarious and your art and violin is superb thanks for sharing
This is probably the best video! ❤ Thank you so much for sharing this! ✨️🙏
Just discovered your channel and I..AM..HOOKED!! ❤️ Thank you so much for these tips and tricks, sooo valuable, in fact I can't imagine anyone teaching these for free out on the internet! And the humor is on POINT! 👌🏼🤣 Blessings to you!
Wow!!! I would never use this word lightly: You are a MASTER!
This is so inspirational!
Hey Lisa, i just finished this adorable raccoon in charcoal. Good Work, GREAT tips. I love your comedic side, i can just picture your husband chasing you with the sprayer after the filming was complete LOL.
He was too busy being blind from me hitting him in the eye when I was aiming for his forehead LOL. WOOPS!
I've never tried painting, I've stuck to colour pencils, but this makes me want to try 😄
Oh….my….gosh. You are so talented and so funny that you just made my morning! Go girl.
it's fun and for me inspiration to try to make it, it's so much fun when I can try it myself ..... (to make my notes more beautiful) THANK YOU FOR INSPIRING ME 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Whoah! This is great..thank you for sharing your great techniques. 👍🏼
😄😄😄very much loved it! Thank you for this tip!
That is really great, great teaching for us artist good information.
This was fun! And educational! -> Inspired!
I was looking for ways to paint acrylics smoothlier and this is truly amazing! Thank you!!
I'm officially a new subscriber
I love the look on your hubbys face lolol
LOL he wasn't expecting me to hit him in the eye. I was aiming for his forehead! I have the worst aim! lol
Thanks for this video. Great stuff!
Do you typically spray and then apply paint and then blend it with a brush or do you typically apply the paint, then spray and then blend with the brush?
I do both, but more often I'm applying the paint and then spraying. It just depends on what I'm trying to accomplish. :)
Thank you so much. @@Lachri
This is essentially an acrylic version of how Bob Ross paints :) great advice
I love the white and black hairs on his head!! You made them look like individual hairs, which I was having trouble with for my cats.
Great video and tips! THANK YOU! Do you clean the mop brush after blending then let it dry? I assume you need a clean dry brush to blend. Thanks again for really helpful and entertaining content!
LOVE the sound of a sword when you pulled out a pencil. Did anyone else notice?!!!❤😮
Woooooow, this is amazing, and such a great video!
A great vlog Lisa and very entertaining. Thanks for sharing (-: Marion
I have a question about blending with dry brushes both in acrylics and oils.
Since the brush has to be dry. How do you not ruin it? Won't acrylics dry on the tips of the brush and ruin it? And what about blending different colors with oils?
That's a good question! No, the acrylics wont ruin the tips. Rinse it when you're done blending an area. Even times when I forgot to rinse the brush and it did dry all the way I could save the brush washing it in soap and water. The paint isn't stuck on the bristles quite like it would be on a normal brush if you're using it right :) For blending with oils I usually use a mop brush that is a tad more stiff by royal soft grip :)
I have painted with oils for 35+ years and still suck at acrylics. 😂 i have starting doing pet portraits and there are too many hurdles with oils.. especially having to wait 3+ days in between layers! I'm trying to get better at acrylics because that's too dang long! 😂😂😂
Loved this Lisa! 😂 So Freakin’ Funny!!! Matt is a great sport. Although I don’t paint, I love hearing your tips and learning nonetheless. Never know. May just try it one day. Playing this again!! 😄
Thanks!! :D
I love a good mop brush. I even use them with oil, which most folks haven't heard of. A cheap alternative to a good, professional mob brush is a makeup mop brush. Essentially the same, and cheaper.
The makeup brushes are the best!! They don't shed like art mop brushes. ♥️♥️
Excellent advise as always, I’ve learned so much in the years since I found you. Patreon makes a huge difference, I wish everyone really understood how amazing it is to have all that information there to watch and learn at any time. Thank you so much for all the information and entertainment you give us, 👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇸🇧🇸
Thank you soooo much!! ❤
Dying laughing here!! That was great i.e; husband = behavior modification spray!!" Hahahaaaaaaa. Thanks for great educational vid as well! Cheers ❤🇨🇦
So interesting, never heard about this. Easily the most interesting video over the last year :) I do more acrylics on miniatures than canvas and now wonder if this technique could be transferred to that hobby. Never seen any of the best painters use it but looks like it should be possible. Just need a fine mist spray and I guess some small make up brushes for the smoothing.
I decided to paint my notebook cover because I don't like it the way it is, and searched just for info for how much paint I'll need for that. And I found this video. Now I want to start painting with acrylics, buy a soft mist spray bottle, drink some red wine and play with my Cretan lyra (not with a shoe). No husband to correct though, and my dog is so sweet it never needs correcting (and I never would spray water towards an animal). No red wine in my home this moment. And it is midnight, so no lyra playing either, I'll let the neighbours sleep. So what can I do? Subscribe.
Thank you so much for this video l. I have been working with watercolors for a while and want to step up my game. I was looking into oil painting but I believe that is too advanced for me as well as there are too many health risks involved. I wonder if acrylics don't require linseed oils or solvents etc. And how is the cleaning process with acrylic paints? I hope this is a non toxic alternative to painting. 💜
I looked for mop brushes on amazon but i keep seeing watercolor brushes. So i searched blending brush but thick makeup brushes come up. Can we use makeup brushes for this? Or are there seperate blending brushes for acrylic?
Disciplining your husband with a spray bottle? TOO funny. Playing the guitar with a shoe? TOO funny...... PS: You are a good artist. I loved the techniques of smoothing the paint out. I use something very similar. I will look for "finer" misting spray bottles. I love oils, but the smell, the cure time is just a little too much for me. I have tried "MAX" paints and they work quite well (Oils that can be thinned with water). Personally my biggest "personal" grip is when i do fine work like a tree branch. You can see through it often. When you put a second coat down the branch loses it's sharpness. If all that makes sense. Anyway spray the husband down again. Speaking as a man, we need it sometimes!! 🙂
Firstly thank you for the great tips and tutorials over the years they have helped tremendously! Now for a quick question something I’ve struggled with as far as blending acrylics And using brushes on damp canvas, how dry does your fluffy brush need to be(or stay) while actively working in a section so as not to start picking paint back up off the canvas.. if that makes sense?
I use acrylics so they do not look like oil.
My techniques approximate egg tempera.. the brilliant, pre oil, method.
Just an opinion, but I oil was the demise of the masterful painting prior;
pre Botticelli.
I like this technique! A wet palette has also changed the game for me.
When you brush over the paint how isn't it getting paint on it and dragging it across
You're funny and a great artist!! I really enjoy your video and tips, plus, how disciplined husbands!!
I used to use lot of water to keep my acrylics wet and blend with until I found out that degrades the paint. I switched to slow drying acrylics and medium but I'm super excited to try the mister, that way I can use this to play with all the colors I have. I'm assuming it just doesn't put out enough water to cause a problem. Also, saw in another comment and holy camoly how did I not know about USB airbrushes? I had a set up a long time ago complete with a big, loud, heavy air compressor and that's one of the reasons I've never bothered to try and get another one. I'm excited about that too now.
The idea that it degrades the paint is a long held myth. It doesn't hurt anything. It is somewhat less adhesive if you use a LOT of water, so if you're doing a heavy scrubbing technique over it it *might* lift a bit but once the painting is done and varnished, there is no trouble even if you used a TON of water. There is a video sharing a lot of false information about water and acrylics that had to turn off the comments because there was so much wrong with what she said. That video is extra annoying because it mislead so many artists.
I saw the comment about the USB airbrush too! I hadn't heard of them before either! They sound interesting!
this is fascinating. how do you keep the rake brush from getting dry paint stuck in it? how do you clean it and how often?
Omg, this vid is gold!
Smash, i bought an Oil Painting that a person donated to a shop. It cost me nothing since my friend bought it for 50 cent xD it is dried and it looks beautiful.
Informative and funny! Gentlemen were very cooperative. Thanks! Love your work, Lady!
that's so beautiful it kind of makes me hate ya just a little bit.. haha.
i have a question. i just started painting.. the whole acrylic set up and shebang is what i asked for this Christmas. i'm a wildlife and landscape photographer and i want to paint my own photos. people ask to paint them all the time and it makes me jealous. i have no natural talent for painting like i had in my life for photography and piano. i went to college on a music scholarship because of piano. i'm a published photographer and i've won every contest i've ever entered (contests in my area, The Smokies, that i was interested in.. not huge national contests.) i'm a determined individual. so, all that being said, can you learn to paint like you do?.. or is it something you can learn but you're also kind of born with. i feel like i was born to play piano and be a photographer and that's why excelled at them. i just wonder how much of that played into me doing well with them? and i wonder if it'll keep me from ever being able to decently paint my own photos since i can't even draw stick people.
