Thanks for this video.. I was totally overwhelmed about which paint should I choose to start... Now after watching this I decided to start with water colors :)

Alykds have all the advantages of oils but dry faster, though not too fast, as acrylics do. After using acrylics for years, I liked the more-buttery texture and found blending on the canvas to be an unexpectedly freeing technique.

Artists on these tutorials all talk a mile a minute. A lot of their great advice is lost on me. Guess I’m just getting old!
