I’ve always had a passion for the arts and am a very good artist when it comes to pencil but I’m having the hardest time transitioning to paint, particularly being able to get a nice thick coat and even color out of my paint without the canvas eating a whole tube of paint. Any tips on diluting paint to get a thick even paint color without making it runny and watery
Dude. 30% rule! You are using too much water, starting with your under painting. The under layers are going to flake off or come off when you paint over them. Try using medium instead of water if you want your paint this thin. Good luck.
Awesome video. I am just getting into painting (always used pencils) so it helps a lot. I was wondering what is the board on the left that you do the mixing on?? Is it just a normal canvas? Also, what is the detail on that brush you are using (brand, size, etc..) Thanks again!!
I so enjoyed this video. I copied what you were doing and am just thrilled with how my apple and shading turned out. It's nowhere near as professional as yours, but much better than I could have possibly done w/o this video. And now to do it again as to get more practice and confidence. Thanks!!
Are you using two different tones for the background? First cadmium yellow and let that dry and then another layer of yellow ochre?.. Or am I getting that part wrong?

Subscribed. Love your videos.
Are you using oil paint?
Why did you color the whole thing yellow at first?Is that some sort of techniques?
Thank you enjoyed the journey.

You are a truly amazing instructor. Just from this short video I learned so much about layering. I'm sold!

Thank you for lovely tutorial… made me paint my first acrylic painting ?
Lovely tutorials, time to stop procrastinating and bring out the acrylics and a canvas.
This is a fantastic tutorial. Excited to subscribe to your channel!

I have Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna, and some very old Raw Sienna on hand, but no Raw Umber…can I substitute one of the others? Thanks!

Being self taught can be a pain at times but videos like this definitely help. Glad I already knew to keep a brew on hand, though.
Excellent vid!
