Gday Don, not only do I love your content but its great the way you show a fail. We all fail while learning, its good to know and see that professionals do as well. Thank you for being You
Oh... Yes, the fail in this video was surprising, coz I really thought the expriment will work. In theory it does! 😅 We learn together Maddy. I also will never pretend that I am sooo good, I do not make mistakes. Cheers! ☺️🎨🎨🎨
+1 on this. Actually showing "failures" help as well, and gives me reassurance to try something new since I am reminded that the masters can also make mistakes 😊
Your video is exactly what I look for in painting tutorials. Going back and showing how you glaze in the medium just to clarify is perfect. I love the exact ratios of mixtures you showed as well. Your skills are breathtaking and over the past 3 weeks, this is my go-to channel when I have any questions regarding patining. Keep up the great tutorials!
I failed to mention this in the video, but key is to let the retarder medium and red paints underneath dry just a little bit... before painting the orange. Should register well but will still blend nicely bro. ☺️🎨🎨🎨
Honestly, its fun to talk about color theory, but the challenge is to make it as understandable and simple for most people. I hoped i explained it well in this video though. ☺️🎨🎨🎨
@@DonSuratos i would watch a series about color theory from u, iam in this hobby for more then 20 years now and i rarly saw ppl explaining stuff so deep like u do
@@highlordalcadizakyr1479 Oh... is deep good? Coz I don't want to make things look and sound deep and complex sir. My intention is to teach as well as I can, and not to impress. 😬
@@DonSuratos for me its a big plus if someone goes very deep, i realy like that, for example in one vid u explained how flow improver works and what its made of and why it does what it does, that extually made me learn something new and iam thinking about how i can use that new knowledge, ty for that :D
@@highlordalcadizakyr1479 Oh I see! Yes I am kinda focused on the "Why" and "What" as we already have a million "How To" here. Also once you understand the why, You tend to remember it longer. ☺️🎨🎨🎨
This model came out really nice, even with the "fail". We learn as we go and from our mistakes. The end result is really good! I like your content Don and just subbed! God bless.
Good job!!! Wet blending is not the best technique for me, or maybe the technique I don’t like the most, but you did a really nice tutorial to know how it works. Waiting for your color theory video!!! Thanks buddy! Saludos!!! 👑🍋
Hey Don, at the end of your video you mention using purple to add shadow to the red cloth. How do you choose your colors for shadowing? Awesome vid man!
Thanks! This is a very old video man. You have to see my never videos. But to answer your question, purple is the best shade for all colors. I rarely use browns. 😊
With Youre experience which brush is better for drybrushing? Soft or stiff bristle like this hog? And I think 1st method is not good for wet blending but when we mix paint with retarder feathering makes it easier.
I have a HORRIBLE time getting the actual blending done when I'm wet blending, because getting the two edges to blend before they dry is a raging PITA. Without applying thicker layers than I'd like to anyway. I'll have to try using retarder medium the way you do to see how it works for me!
Wet blending feels bit like hitting nail on wall, with one hit. If done correctly. going thicker, might ease with drying, but is always double edged sword. been trying to learn how to do fading glazing lines. 😜 controlling the thicness is hardest part and choosing how to load the brush...then wiping excess paint to palette. You could add more words but then you should speedtalk like machine gun. lol 🤣 back to painting.

I stuggle making that cool red to yellow shift. I will try this next time

Another great video. Always learning something new. Always looking forward to your next video. Thx!
Thank you for watching! NMM will be my next video. Cheers! ☺️🎨🎨🎨
Another excellent tutorial….thanks very much!
You are most welcome Kevin! ☺️🎨🎨🎨
Amazing tutorial, Don! I like that you had a discussion on the color wheel and complementing colors!
I will try to insert color theory in every video bro. Thanks as always man! ☺️🎨🎨🎨
I wouldn't mind at all if you made multiple videos about color wheel stuff!
Great video as always.

Está muy bueno el video, pero se ve muy difícil la técnica 😅. Toca comenzar a practicar!!

Ah yes, wet blending is not easy to master, but should be fun once we get the hang of it. ☺️
Another helpful video bro. Where did you buy your oil brushes? And how do you clean your oil brushes after using it to drybrush?
Deovir... Art supply shop bro. Soap and warm water. I think it will last for a long time, unlike cosmetic brushes.

Excellent video! Where do you get this little white boxes that you keep paint bottles in on your desk?
Cosmetic shops or the white ones, I think I got from the grocery. 😅

Retarder medium should give you more time to blend sir. Also paint the underpaint first before blending. ☺️
been hesitant to ask this, but how do you decide to what color is your base color?
Yes... working on my next video and will try to explain how. ☺️🎨🎨🎨
Hi thanks for this video!!! Where are you from? Because you finish your videos with “saludos”
Philippines. I finish with Saludos, since I am an official Vallejo painter, and we greet with "saludos" at the end of our emails sometimes. ☺️🎨🎨🎨
@@DonSuratos nice way to say “thank you” to Vallejo!!! Thanks a lot for your answer! Regards
