Mr. Tim, i love your vids, they’re inspiring as well as helpful…i’ve been painting acrylics for some time now but the paint keeps “tearing” off the canvas when i try to blend colors…my former art teacher told me using oils is way harder than acrylics, but i love using blending for many effects…are oils more forgiving when blending, or do they too tend to “tear” if you brush over them a few too many times? i’d love a response…
I like your tutorials, thanks a lot! I tried doing this today though, but I used a tiny brush and it was really hard. I’m buying a big brush like yours and painting over it tomorrow!
That was so simple but its sooo pretty.I just started painting last year and it takes me forever to do stuff il try to fix little mistakes then il mess it up and have to redo it.That sky would take me 2 hours to do.
Thanks for this lesson. It answered a few questions I had. I do have to ask though, how many palettes do you go through in a year? Also, how much paint do you go through by not putting the caps back on the tubes?
@bicnarok I tend to get that when my paint drys too fast, sometimes especially when I used the thinner paints, and they are 1/2 dry when I go to dip in my brush, some of that dry paint will end up on the painting and that will cause those sandy looking clumps, also if there is too much water in the paint, like if I think it out too much I will get little water bubbles…so maybe you could try using more paint or a thicker paint that way your paint doesn’t dry and you wont get the sand look haha
I tried this but sandy like lumps appeard, messing things up. I don´t know if its due to combining different makes of paint or that I blended to long, been oil painting most of my life. can I sandpaper the paining down and paint over it again?
@oodamarasengan05 You can get cheap ones on eBay. E.g. search for “large area brush” and you’ll find sets from Royal Langnickel and Loew Cornell which comes in white, golden and brown taklon (all 3 great for acrylics) as well as goat hair, pig bristle and camel hair. Camel is too soft for acrylics, but pig bristle is OK (not durable though). Goat hair some use for blending, but it is quite soft. They are $3-5 for a set of 3 (1″, 2″ and 3″). Very reasonable!
@CelticReject I have used make-up brushes a lot. But the large natural bristle ones work best for water colors, I think. They’re too soft for acrylics and will wear out really quickly too, as acrylics is abrasive and takes it’s toll on brushes. Some make-up brushes are acrylic though, e.g. foundation/face mask brushes (often filberts) and some eye make-up brushes (e.g. flat angled ones) and those work great for acrylics. I have some I use regularly that I took out of my make-up set.
@jennlynnski I see two asked similar such sunset questions, so I’ll add one too. Isn’t the technique exactly the same, only that you use different colors? I would think so…
@mysteezeyvids I’m not TG, but thought I’d share anyway. I keep a water container with water and dish detergent beside my water container. I wipe off the brush, then clean it and rinse in the water. Large brushes with lots of paint I do under the faucet. My brushes look beautiful because of this. Shampoo and conditioner is great too, esp. for natural brushes. I dry the brushes hanging bristles down (so water do not remain in the ferrule, which can dissolve the glue in there) or flat.
Great video! Thanks for sharing which brushes you use, I was wondering about it when I watched the video on your profile, and was happy to see the reply to someone else when I went here to comment. The Bob Ross brushes seem very nice in that they are so thick and bushy. Got to get one of those for blending, I think…
THIS SONG WAS ON CRISTYCAKES WORLD OF WARCRAFT VIDEO “NO LIFE” ALSO ON LEDAS CHANNEL
@PriestPhotios ppl who have nothing better to do if they can appreciate his work why do they keep on watching his videos just to dislike that is rude
Thank you very much !

I just painted my light switchplate with this technique and it looks AWESOME! Thank you!!!!!!
You make it look so easy! Do you think this would work on a light switch plate?
Who dislikes this? Really?

Thanks for your helpful videos Tim.
I see you use liquid white,but I have read that it only works with oil paints.Could you explain please.
Hi, love the work and effort Tim
What camera are you using? It has great audio.
