I love this tutorial, i'm away from home and i cannot wait to get back and try this out. Do you have any tips from keeping the paing wet on canvas for lower quality paint? I'm just starting out and making tons of mistakes while trying to mix colours so i've mostly bought cheaper paints as most of what i mix goes to waste right now, and the thing i always struggle with is that my paint dries almost instantly after i apply it to my canvas, can't see me successfully doing this blending with the paints i have right now ..
hmm, I would say try your best to not worry about mistakes (i know it's easier said than done! lol) and just work on the blending first! Practice that part over and over until you get the hang of it.. and then start working on colors etc.
It is possible to wet the colours with a fine mist sprayer (used by hairdressers, for example). A flower sprayer is not suitable, the droplets are too big. Water must not be too much, the drops are undesirable. The paint can be kept moist on the canvas for a very long time.
Liquidex has a retarder i had the same problem. I get the thick paint from hobby lobby in small tubes. Acrylics and i have oils but haven’t tried oils yet. I am so glad to find her ! She’s good and explains so well. I’m a self taught artist for 5 yrs or so
The secret no one tells I guess is that you need to have a lot of mop brushes for blending. In the tutorials from other painters it just looked like they were using the same brush the whole time and I was frustrated why my blending is not working. I intuitively thought about it but only after watching your blending tutorial is when I went to the store to buy a few more. I was thinking if they can do it with one brush why can’t I😂 but my intuition was right! Thank you for your tutorials without letting out the little details that really matter!
sorry if I am not understanding your comment entirely, but I do tell all the little details - like needing multiple mop brushes. I say this many times in my acrylic blending videos.
@@LaurasBeatingArt thats exactly what I mean. That only you made it clear to me that I need a many blending brushes. The other painters dont say that. It just looks like they are using one brush all the time.
ok, my bad! I misunderstood! lol YES! Multiple mop brushes are needed! :)
@@LaurasBeatingArtcan i use a new mop brush of makeup? if i don't have a paint one
This one is beautiful too but i really like the other one better. The one w/the viridan green and Prussian blue and fluid medium. It like the richer deeper look to that one. Just hope that helps. Thank you so much for your time
LOVEEED THIS SO MUCH
Stunning!
Awesome tutorial, absolutely breath-taking.💙
I've been scared to use my mop brushes this way because I was afraid the paint would dry in the bristles before having the chance to clean them out, which would make them lose softness/ability to blend smoothly. Now that I'm seeing this, I'll have to try it out! Thank you!
Love this one and can't get enough of your videos!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks again for sharing with us. ✌🏼
This was absolutely stunning, thank you for sharing your talents!
I’m sure you can use Payne’s Gray for this if you do not have all those colors.😊
Looks amazing!
Boy I wish this was my living room's view. So realistic thanks for sharing
Omg omg I can't wait to try this
Magnificent fog painting , very helpful for beginners, lets see can I handle the white paint properly to paint fog.

Thank you so very much ❤️
Very helpful thank you
Awesome I enjoyed your tutorial. I am very new at trying to paint and I like the way you did the fog. I did not do a good job on my picture of trees and fog ! thank you.
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice instructional tutorial.
Can you please make a similar video for a painting in landscape orientation?
I've been trying to paint distant mountains but just couldn't get it right. I used your technique to create mist at the bottom of the mountains and it looks so much better. I found that you can use that technique to blend lots of different things. Thank you.
Glad I could help!
At the end I felt like was it made before my eyes it then ending felt like magic I found you on instagram you are awesome
I'm reallly happy to saw your profile on pinterest and then on YT. I'll be back here every day.
oh my goodness I forgot I even have a profile on Pinterest! I'll have to invest some time into updating that! lol
@@LaurasBeatingArt happy to hear that :))
Thank you
Lovely painting looks calming and peaceful…thank you and god bless .from Sam .Belfast..❤️✝️
Love it ! You’re cat too 😉
Wow this is so pretty. And I love your kitty, We have one that looks a lot like Buddy and his name is Chief .
Great tutorial! I've tried the adding white over a dried background & didn't like the result. Can't wait to try your technique. How do you keep the paint from drying on your brushes, especially the ones you use dry? Thanks for sharing your knowledge & skill.
I don't do anything to my brushes! and you're more than welcome!
Are you using a sponge to blend the white for a foggy effect?
Thanks!
Welcome!
So glad I found you on Instagram, then here! I've been wanting to try this technique for so long. I only use acrylics; do you think I can put a drying retarder like Liquitex's Slo-Dri Blending medium to help with getting this done on a larger canvas (24x36). I have a black & white cat as well (Chloe)...gets into everything 😻 Love your art!
I love your paintings and how you describe them. Can’t wait to try them out. When you say dnt let let the paint dry on canvas what does that mean bc when you buff it doesn’t it dry out? And are your dipping your brush in water before getting the paints or using them as it is ❤
I say dont let it dry because then you can't blend. I dont believe I used any water in this tutorial - if I used water at any point I would say so during the video
Thank you for explaining the steps involved in doing your painting. Just wondering if you primed the canvas with gesso or something else to make the paint glide so well.
nope, nothing was prepped on the canvas
❤️😻
i enjoyed watching you paint and bring it all together. i think you have alot to offered painters that are beginners and painters that are pros. thank you so much. yes, i would love to see you paint and give ideals again. Joyce Jones
Thank you very much!
Omg 😳 I have a male cat that is literally identical to your cat and his name was originally "buddy" but we often call him bubba now! That blew my mind to see him come on screen! Lol!
haha thats crazy!
How is your paint flowing and blending like oil?
Beautiful painting !
It's thin acrylic paint and I've demonstrated how to use it in the tutorial :)
I really appreciated your tutorial. Nice job!! I have 2 questions - what is the brand name of your blending brushes?
And how do you keep your blending brushes from drying while your doing your painting?
They're master's touch and I guess I just work very quickly? I also have lots of brushes!
Thank you. You’re the best. THANK YOU
I know you mentioned some of your paints are a little thinner--especially those craft ones. Would you recommend using more soft body acrylics when blending in fog, or does it matter if you use medium or heavy body ones?
I would say craft paints are basically soft body. They're in the middle of heavy and fluid. So yes, something in that area is good for the fog.
Hi, I'm a beginner to painting but really enjoying it. The 2 biggest ongoing issues I'm having are 1) the canvas texture makes it very hard for me to get an even texture. Is this the kind of canvases I'm using or is there something I need to do to prep the surface to make the paint glide on it like yours does? And 2) The acrylics I'm using dry faster than I can blend them. Could it be the brand of acrylics or is there a product / dilution method that slows the dry time to help with blending?
Thanks so much!
1. I'd suggest experimenting with different brands of canvas until you find one that's as smooth as you'd like. The canvas I use is Fredrix Creative Series (yellow label) and it's my favorite. You could try adding some additional layers of gesso to your canvas to make them smoother but it's going to make blending a bit harder (especially if you use my method)
2. I never use slow drying mediums, so I couldn't make any suggestions on that. I use craft paint and golden fluid acrylics. It works the best for me when blending. You can try adding a bit of water to your acrylics. Keep practicing and you'll get it! :)
@@LaurasBeatingArt Thanks!
You can use a mister
My cat is the same way haha
Thank you very much for the beautiful. Video I was very amazed thanks Very interesting thanks for sharing please, please stay connected 💖 ... 💗💖...💞.💕..
This is helpful but im about to paint in 120cm, not sure how to keep it wet on time, should i just use oil?
difficult but not impossible. I suggest working in sections, maybe.. ?
🌹you are always so different
my paint is absorbing super quickly and making blending a bit sloppy. I'm using medium weight canvas with a few layers of dried gesso. Your paint goes down easy and covers a lot of area for the amount of paint you're using, mine is gobled up by the canvas within the first couple strokes. What am I doing wrong? I'm new to using acrylics on canvases, usually sculputures and stuff, which does let me get more out of my paint. Should I be wetting the canvas and spritsing the surface?
the extra layers of gesso is causing it to dry faster! also, different canvas brands will react differently to paint. for example - i can't blend this way on arteza brand canvas - even with my special method the paint dries extremely quickly. i recommend using fredrix brand canvas!!
Where could i buy those the same mop brushes? Looking for one with good quality. I’m from Canada btw
colorbyfeliks, they're a little different but they're just as good!
Could you please do northern lights?
Hi there, can you tell us what brush you are using to create the fog? thanks.
its a mop brush
@@LaurasBeatingArt Hi there, thanks so much for your feedback. Have ordered the Mop Brush today. thanks again - am sure now with this brush, I will manage creating misty mountains. Must say there is still so much to learn, but by looking at tutorials like yours, one can really gain much knowledge.
can you recommend a cheaper version of those blending brushes, please? Thanks
I'm sorry I don't know of any other brushes that work as well. If you get them from Hobby Lobby, they have a 50% off sale every other week, making them about $5 to $7 each.
Where do you get your mop brushes?
Hobby Lobby and ColorbyFeliks.com
I'm so confused. Did she thin the paint out with something? My paint is not blending at all.
I showed the entire process.. if I used any water (and I don't believe I did) I would have mentioned it in the video and you'd see me doing it on the camera view on the right. The trick is to use very thin paint and work very quickly. If your paint is too thick, try adding some water to your brush, not the paint.
Would this work with heavy body paint?
I don't know
Does anyone know if it would still work with other types of brushes ?
Other than mop brushes? You can try makeup brushes :)
How did you manage to keep the painting wet for so long?
its the type of paint that im using, very thin and i work very quickly
Nice.
This bristle brush?
Sorry, what's your question?
@@LaurasBeatingArt I wanted to know what your brush is made of. What kind of material?
@@esarchiart which one? The mop brushes are goat hair and the fan brush is bristle
Do you know any more affordable mop brush options?
the hobby lobby brushes aren't too expensive - the most expensive one I use is about $13 but they are all half off every other week!
This so difficult. I have no concept what your doing. I need help. How do I not make it look like a massive blended nothing? I keep wasting my paint. It's wet. I keep going over and over with layers of darker paint following up with some white and blending that in. It looks like nothing everytime
Sounds like you're just overblending! If you want to message me on Instagram (@laurasbeatingart) I can try to help you more :)
I’m having the same issue. I’ve tried it so many times as light handed as I could and as soon as I touch brush to trees they’re gone 😢
how do you keep the paint wet unless you use a water mister?
It's thin acrylic paint and I've demonstrated how to use it in the tutorial :)
Yeah i stopped half way through, I can’t get it to blend right. I’m using acrylic and it just seems to smear
are you using the ame acrylic brand as i am?
I dnt understand why we use craft paint in place of acrylics.As I m from pakistan it is difficult to find craft paint as local name
Why does the volume go off?
I don't know, I made this video a year ago.
