Yo the confidence to paint with white long sleeves, I know imma get paint on the sleeves within 5 mins.

Tip for wet on dry: Use a brush with hard, dense bristles that are medium hard (not like barbed wire, ya feel). Helps getting the paint into textured canvases, especially for larger spaces.

Edit: Lovely video ;) been waiting for this

Can't wait to see how these techniques will change my paintings. I appreciate it, Zeke!

I decided to teach myself again how to paint with acrylics and these three techniques will help me out very much. Basically, you've saved my ass because some tutorials are just over the top and don't mention in which situations can these techniques be useful. Thank you and I love your paintings!

Do one on shadow and highlights using the color wheel to darken colors and brushing techniques for highlights. 😉👍🏖️🌅

Ahh I loved this video! Thank you SO much for including me in the ‘inspired by Zeke’ section at the end too! I was super surprised to see my own art make it in, it made my day! Thank you once again for always being an inspiration to me and for your wonderful videos! 💗💗💗

Brilliant tips, I was not familiar with all of these and look forward to testing them out. It was good that you showed examples as well, it really helped to see how to use each technique. Thank you 🤗

[ClarkyWarky]

I'm obsessed with the color aesthetic in all your paintings!!! 😍

[annaxeon]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm personally a watercolor and ink artist and I struggle with acrylics. This video was very helpful for how to properly blend acrylics! Thank you so much!! Also I love your art so much!!

Great video! Thank you for sharing your techniques. For me, the toughest thing to learn as a beginner was simply to take my time and make use of layers. In the era of speedpaints, it's difficult to remember just how much time can go into getting a single highlight or blend just right - between the brushwork and the layering, watching the process in real time can be almost painfully slow!
