I rarely sit through these videos, but can I just say that this woman is a fantastic teacher

[kaylahouseholder]

I have spent 9 hours, NINE HOURS ( 4am-1:20pm) searching for a video on blending and such. Every SINGLE VIDEO I watched was either " blending is so overrated", " ditch the blending and learn to overlap" and so on. Every single video I watched either had something negative to say about blending or completely irrelevant but was labeled as "blending acrylic paints" When I came to your video, I was literally about to give up. I watched the first couple of minutes of it and I was on the edge of my seat!

I don't paint. I have very little experience in the painting stuff unless it's color/paint by number or the random "touchup" to my door frames and even those are sad to look at.
Your video helped me so much and now, I am finding things in my house to paint. Thank you so much! You earned my "like" a million times and more and you have a new subscriber! You're Awesome!! Please make more videos like this!!

Thank you so much!!!
I am a beginner to art, at age 67...
My mom began at age 40...
I have friends who are artists who have encouraged me to just have fun.
So I began taking acrylic art classes a couple of years ago.
My first teacher was acryllic impressionism... and it set me free from the idea that painting had to be perfect!
Thank you for sharing your painting techniques, they help me tremendously!
Art is to be enjoyable, an experience to be enjoyed.

For teaching a handicapped student - I've used a method to take a very wide damp brush and load the brush with three or more colors. For example to create a blended sky: On the pallet, dobble blue, white, pink, yellow - run the brush across all the "blobs' at one time to pick up all the pigments. With the blue aimed at the top of the painting brush horizontally back and forth until all 3 - 4 colors are laid on the canvas - the back an forth motion blends them. this was very effective because all the paints were wet at the same time and rewarding to the student.

The glazing method has my brain upside down! Thank you for making these videos so beginner friendly and fun. xo

I enjoyed your video, during covid-I found that I lost my creativity and today is the day and beginning of a renewal of the arts. Many thanks and blessings to you.

I’ve painted most of my life, but I still find that your beginner videos are incredibly helpful. Never had an art class but your videos seem like they’re probably better! Thank you!

[jenniferwilliams]

You are a wonderful teacher especially for us beginners. Your camera person is the BEST. Right place at the right time.

[noelbarker]

Hi Theartsherpa you are one of my favorite teachers. I am also a new painter and is 64 years old. Love every thing you have showed today. Love your work. Thanks for your time.

[jenniferlynnhenrycervantes]

I love the moon one as you helped me to understand how to make it easy on myself. T.y.

[alisturkericmacnanty]

YOU ARE AWSOME!!! I started painting about 3 months ago and not tooting my own horn, I am surprised at how good I am...my MAJOR problem...BLENDING. My teacher hasn't offered any help in this area, and as a consequence, my work is very stark as opposed to soft. You have just answered a major part of my problem!!!

[dottieshields]

Thank you so much! I am just beginning acrylic painting.

[irishfairygirl]

Hi. I just wanted to say. On my journey of discovering myself. You have helped me much. Thank you

[sirensong]

After watching this tutorial yesterday, I was able to utilize these skills, to create a sunset over the peace bridge in buffalo NY. Best work yet, took me 5 hours, 6-7 layers on copy paper. Thank you for the insight!

[mikeqa]

Very good blending tutorial, nicely organized. Just beginning here at age 70. Many thanks.

[joburrow]

Dear sweet Art Sherpa….I just found this video and I am so happy. I am working a 30”x40” canvas which is new to me. I haven’t been painting very long and am not familiar with many products. What you have shared on this video is just what I needed to know. I m working with acrylics and this is such a helpful video for a novice like me. Thank you so much. I really appreciate how easily you teach.

[julielinden]

I LOVE your videos. Wholeheartedly agree with the comment below - YOU ARE A FAB TEACHER!!

[lauratomsick]

Started a sunrise painting and quickly ended in an epic blending fail. I AM SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR VIDEO!! Back to it with your brilliant tips! THANK YOU!

[crystaldawn]

My jaw dropped after the dry brush blend method. That took it from a very nice gradient to full blown sunset! Thank you for showing so many tips, as well, I have always struggled with teachers showing only one method of getting to a desired result and it really helps me to learn as many ways to achieve something as possible because everyone is different thus everyone learns best differently! ❤
Edit!: now you're letting us know how to improve a more realistic sunset. You're wonderful for sharing all of this! Thank you so much!

[cherylscarvaglieri]

I have taken many art classes over the years. You are so good with clear, detailed instructions, enthusiasm and encouragement ☺️ so glad I found you!
