Do you use glazing in your work? I'd love to hear some of the tips or tricks you might use in your own paintings!

I actually use a similar technique! Never knew what I was doing precisely. I paint wood with watercolor pencils. Starting from base colors directly on wood, I separate the zones with different tones, just as if I am drawing on paper. Then I add shadows and darker colors. The next step is adding the actual midtones, by putting white acrylics in the right places (all except shadow zones). I adjust the opacity of the white depending on the intensity I want colors to have later. Lighter points will have the fullest white. Then it's up to watercolors: I put them with the pencils and then melt with water. Add multiple layers if needed, but best is at least 2. Final step is adding even more white back again if needed, to give a more 3d effect, and then other colors on top of that if needed. I was kind of making glazing without knowing it and with no tutorial whatsoever? Came up with this technique during years.

I had heard that thinning out acrylics with water too much would not allow the paint to grip and that it could fail and flake or peel later on. Now I have seen videos that show that it is a myth and that it's ok to use the water. Your painting is very beautiful.

@erica73730 2 күн бұрын

I learnt a lot from this thank you… I don’t feel disappointed anymore about buying some acrylic paints online before I knew anything about the different levels of transparency aspect and I was starting to regret my purchase lol. I would like to paint flowers but wondering if using a different mid tone pastel colour base colour would work in the same way as the grey? Kind regards and thank you from a new sub from Australia🐨🇦🇺💙🎨

Around 1:30 you go from painting white on a stained canvas to an underpainting with deep shadows/ outlines (especially in the tail and wings). Did you glaze in those dark parts or just paint them in? Cool vid!

Thank you so much for this tutorial and sharing your work. I'd like to apply what I've learned. I have a Q: what is the difference between these 2? Golden Acrylic Glazing Liquid and Liquitex BASICS Matte Fluid Medium? Do they do the same? Can you please have a demo on how to use them? Thank you so much!!! Beautiful work you have!!!

@kuchen_ Жыл бұрын

If you add too much water to acrylic paint, the paint won’t adhere to a surface because you’ve thinned out the binder. Golden Glazing Liquid (Gloss/Matte/Satin) contains an acrylic binder so mixing it with paint increases transparency and flow of paint whilst maintaining stability. The more medium you add, the more transparent it becomes. Liquitex Basics Fluid Medium (Gloss/Matte) is very similar.

Ugh, I desperately need to try this. I've never been good at acrylics, but I really want to try it. I just can't finance it right now. And I don't know when or if I'll ever be able to. I've always worked in either oils or watercolor, but I never really put my efforts into acrylic and I feel I really missed out.

@gidgetb3679 2 ай бұрын

I have learned so much from your videos, thank you. I do have a question or two. Is there a reason you are painting this bird horizontally as opposed to vertically on an easel or wall? Also, at timestamp 1:34 - You start the "Saturated colors glazing step", I didn't catch it the first few times I've watched this, but I noticed this time, after blocking in the under painting with white, you put in shadows in a dark brown/black before adding your colors. If it's not too much trouble, what color(s) did you use for that portion of your under painting and was this also glazed or not. Thanks so much, I really love your work. God Bless.

I learned some time back not to paint dark and opaque underpainting. All the subtle layers only happen with the light from underneath.

Late to the party with this but can this technique be used on paper thats meant for acrylic painting? Or will this affect the better and is it better on a canvas?

Did you paint your canvas a light grey before drawing the bird and branch? The white paint in stage 1 shows up more than it would on a white canvas.

Yes, he said that in 0:35. And the canvas was pretty gray too. 🙂

Can you make tutorials using liquitex basic acrylic colors to paint wildlife.. because i can afford that brand only and i am unable to figure out how to use those runny thin colors

@StudioWildlife 2 жыл бұрын

I don’t have those paints, but sennelier do a range of paints called abstract and they are the same price if not cheaper than the liquitex basics and are a better, thicker paint. they are what I use in most of my artworks

Some of them do, they are videos of me narrating my process in real time, talking through the colours, brushes and techniques I am using. So some of them can be 2-3 hours long perfect for painting along with. I am also planning a few tiger pieces so more videos will be added throughout the year

New to painting. The language is confusing me. I thought glazing with color was something one did once painting was done.... What i got from this (great) video is to paint transparent base layers then add more opaque layers ......is this core?

@DMichigan 3 ай бұрын

Glazing is just layering with transparent color(s). It can be done at any stage of painting.
