I’ve been asking artists this on twitter and NONE have told me how to get it to look so smooth. But YOU.. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your technique 🙏🏾. THANK YOU!!

You can also dilute your acrylic paints with water as they are water based. Which saves on paint, makes it easier to apply and also covers better with less globs. You can also have way more brush strokes without having to re-dip your brush. You can even salvage the old clumpy paints by adding hot water to them and shaking it. Hope this helps.

Mannnn ive been doing art for so long and have always been patient and consistent with layering but recently ive been stuck in my head from seeing too many videos online thinking im painting wrong….great reminder just to follow what i naturally do instead of paying attention to others😂✌🏽

Oh my god-idk why it never came to me but thank you!!! 😊 no one told me about going light and layering, they just would tell me it’s awful and horrible!

I’ve been trying to get this effect for YEARS trying all kinds of paints and surfaces and never has anyone said this before. I’m going to attempt it tomorrow. I see you paint on canvas. Would this also work on wood surfaces like gesso board or clay board by ampersand? Also, have you tried golden’s new line of SoFlat acrylic?

[brendamozzy]

Thank you. I'm newish to painting with acrylics and this answered one of my questions.

I had a feeling this is what it was. I 3d print and like using airbrush but I have a vegeta that probably need hand painting because of some detail and just did light coats over light coats over light coats for the hair and came out super good but didn’t know if it was a thing. But now I do so thank you.

Hey if you ever see this i want to say thanks for making this video. Although its a pretty simple idea, i really wouldnt have considered the importance. Im trying to combine different thick and thin acrylic mediums on the same piece so i can dust it with pigment. Pretty cool to experiment with that man. Peace. ❤

Hey bro so don’t use a big brush work in sections?

[USC]

I have the hardest time trying to pain certain details. I'm painting a drawing of me playing football...I'm having such a hard time painting the stripes on the helmet and the stripes going down the pant leg!!! It's so frustrating 😫

[dormaettu]

Hi do you recommend to prep your canvas ? with gesso or mat medium ? thanks excellent video bro

[reginaldforthright]

Or I guess you could use golden soflat

But what do you do to keep the Layers light? The paint itself is so thick that it seems no matter what I do is globy and or streaky. Do you mix your paints with anything first, and then layer?
