Avoid this COMMON MISTAKE | Acrylic Painting

The left side reminds me of an animated film. They're both pretty.

The “bad” one is vibrant and cool. I see some artists with that style and their paintings are amazing ! The right is more traditional and realistic. Both paintings are beautiful. The left one is more my style ❤️ I’d buy it.

When I was a kid, my mom cant afford to buy me brush and paint so i used finger smudging technique for years with used coffee grounds and leaves from the garden as my paint 🤗

I love how he's so proud and excited after every step he does like "yaas look at that! mm!" it's honestly so cute and also made me smile😄

Actually I think the "bad" pink tree looks fantastic

Kevin is so good even the 'bad' painting looks none too bad...

Thanks once again...

Something to try. I put a bandaid on the tip of my middle finger of my right hand so when I smudge with my finger tip, the texture of the bandaid helps with the smudge effect. Just an idea to get another effect in your painting.

I was always wondering what made my paintings look so artifical, and this is the exact reason. This video improved my paintings tenfold. Thank you so much

This technique certainly applies to realism landscape paintings. What I love about art is how there are many different art styles where soft edges are not required for them to be amazing and sell for millions of bucks..like Warhol who painted a soup can, Pollock who dripped and splattered paint on canvas, or Picasso who created outside the box and co-founded Cubism. That's the beauty of art...there are no mistakes. What one considers a mistake, another could consider it a whole new art style. But I can appreciate this video because it applies to your style of painting, which is one of the more technical styles and also more difficult, and you gave thorough visual instructions so it was helpful.

For a beginner at 66 yrs, “hope this is a big help” is an understatement. Much thanks.

Neither is right or wrong, just two different painting styles. The one on the left is more impressionist while the one on the right is more American realism. Both very nice in there own way.

your voice is sometimes wispery...my cat thinks when someone wispers they are talking to her, so she comes to my computer when i watch your videos XD

Man, watching this is a good reminder of just how much I suck at painting.

[marleneaguilar]

i love how he takes the time to explain things more clearly

Loved seeing you "finger blend"! As a painting newbie I was doing this and thought if a professional painter saw me they would cringe. Ha ha Now I can eliminate the guilt of using this method. 😁

[plantemor]

gotta admit, I like the "wrong" one better purely because the constrasts between light and dark are much more interesting to look at. But yeah, the brush strokes are better on the other one.

I found your video by accident and so glad I did!
I wish I could go back to my childhood and have you as an art teacher....maybe I wouldn't be so convinced that I have no artistic talent!!
Listening to your instructions is both soothing and uplifting...totally wonderful...thanks!!

[cheapsmilez]

I have suffered from insomnia for many years of my life. Your voice is so soothing and I fall asleep listening to your painting videos. So thank you! Hope that isn't weird haha

[parentchantal]

You are so talented and so gentle when you explain to us your painter's secrets. Thank you so much dear!
