You are so welcome!

Thank you! I'm so glad this was helpful :)

You're welcome! Thank you for watching’

I hope this helps! Up close, dry brushing does look pretty messy. 💕

@@abandurkaart yes it did help, thank you, last night i did a test and i got a texture that looks almost like it were graphite or chark oil with the technic you proposed, im really satisfied. This was exactly what i was looking for

Thank you! Cheers!

That's so sad to hear! I have no control over ads, nor do I get paid. That's how it is on UA-cam these days :( I'm sorry that you weren't able to see the video, maybe some day when you have more time, try again?)

Angela you can take the ads off if you’re not paid. I know people that demonetized as they didn’t want ads. It can be done. The ads on your channel are such that You have to watch the whole ad whereas some Chanel’s you can use a skip Hope this helps. I love your work

Lori, you found my UA-cam!?! Thanks for watching and for your beautiful comment 😘❤️

Thank you so much!

Hi Rosemary! I love the Connoisseur Synthetic Mongoose. It’s not too stiff, but not too wishy washy, either 😘

I usually wait until the next day before I varnish, but if you paint with really thick layers and/or you’re in a humid, cool area, you may need to wait longer. The key is to make sure your painting is fully dry before varnishing.

There is no one way to care for your brushes, but this is what I’ve found works best for me. I use walnut oil while painting - but for the end of the day cleaning, I use a linseed-oil based soap with water. That cleanses the brush beautifully and conditions the brush. I don’t find I need to apply another coat of oil to the brush afterwards, though that’s just one more way to keep the brush supple 😊

I find that painting on varnish yields a more thorough coating, without the waste that naturally occurs with spray on varnish. And I haven’t had any issue with brush strokes - as the varnish I use tends to self level. But you do run the risk of bubbles. I try to make sure I go slow and watch for them - and pop them as they come up. But honestly, I do more spray varnish than brush on for convenience and speed. I’m usually pressed for a deadline and can’t wait for the painting to completely dry.

Hi Sharon! I’m sorry if this word disturbed you, but it’s not a made up word - though I do that from time to time in an attempt to be “fun”… check it out - here’s the official definition of “directionality”: www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/directionality.

You want to be sure that the under painting is dry - so if it’s an acrylic under painting such as in this demo, I’d wait at least a couple of hours or overnight (or longer if you’re painting with thick layers). I live in the Pacific Northwest where it’s cool and humid much of the year so the acrylics dry a little slower, so in this demo I waited to paint over the acrylics with oils until the next day.

@@abandurkaart thanks. And oil would take still more time

@@abandurkaart I stay in west coast india. It’s also v humid all the year and rains almost six months

@@sharayuranade8911 Yes, definitely more time. You could add a fast dry medium to the oil to help it dry, and work in a thin layer - but even then you could paint over it within a couple of days :)

@@sharayuranade8911 you'll experience the slower dry times as well, then :)

Hi Sharayu! I know it, so sorry. I have been experiencing some long Covid symptoms but am slowly feeling relief. I have a video half made and as soon as I’m better, I plan to finish it and post it then get some more posted!! Thank you for checking in ❤️❤️

You are right! This is palette paper, which I buy in a pad. I’ve tried other kinds of palettes for my acrylic painting, but they’ve never worked as well.

Thanks, I'm so grateful for this feedback, and glad that it helped :) Happy painting!!

I like to use M.Graham Acrylics, they are just a little less viscous than Golden, which helps them stay wet a tiny bit longer. Golden is a solid brand as well! I have a few colours in that brand also.

Hi, Chris! I use chalk pastel pencil to draw my pieces out first - usually in a colour that I’m using a lot in the painting. Here I used a brown. Most of the time I’ll brush off the excess powder with a soft brush before painting. You can spray with workable fixatives to keep the paint pure, but in this case I didn’t spray because the pastel pigment was the same as the brown I used for the background and there was minimal dust. It’s just a matter of doing what you feel works best for you. If you thin your paint at all, I would definitely recommend spraying first.

@@abandurkaart Thanks Angela. I just watched your interview with Jed Dorsey, loved it. I'm just started to learn to paint, but you are such an inspiration to me. I really appreciate your helpful tips when it comes to acrylic painting.

@@chriswhitehouse8982 wow! Thanks, I’m so glad you found it helpful and appreciate your kind words. Good luck with your painting journey!

In this video I’m using an RGM palette knife, I believe. I also have a couple from Poggi that I got on vacation a few years ago.

Yay!! I’m so glad this video was helpful for you - and thanks for telling me!

That's so nice of you to say <3 Thanks so much!

You're very welcome! Thank you for watching :)

Thanks, Kathryn! Let me know if you have any requests and I’ll consider them for my next demo video ❤️

Hi, Alan, that is my understanding, yes! For paintings where the artist is no longer living, touch ups are considered temporary and are done in a way that can be removed. For artists still living, we could go in and take off the varnish (the isolation coat would protect the painting and would hold onto the new painting renovation well) and do the corrections, then apply another isolation coat on top of the corrections and varnish the whole thing again when done. I just had to do one the other day!

Thank you ❤️

Fantastic! Thank you for watching 🎨

Thank you!! 😍

Me, either! That's crazy. Here's my take on artmaking, and life in general: there is only one definitive: that there are NO definitives. ;)

After drawing in pastel pencil, I always "dust" the surface of the drawing with a soft brush to remove excess dust because it can absolutely impact your paint. You could also spray with a workable fixative. But it's not usually an issue for me because I paint in layers, so the first layer mixes a little of the dust in with it.

Thank you!!! I checked you out and am very honoured that you mentioned me :) You have some very lovely demo videos!! <3

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks for the visit!!

Oh my gosh, buddy!! I can't believe I didn't see this comment until now? I don't remember how long it took - probably a weekend altogether, though I took breaks in between.

Thanks so much, Kim! I appreciate that :)

My little mini-pin rescue's name is Oliver - we call him Ollie for short :) He's the perfect studio dog.

Wow, thank you! I appreciate that :)

Thanks, Delores!! Xoxo
