One great perk with acrylic paint: u could start this painting with out an under drawing.....Since acrylics dry so fast, theres not much need to ‘paint in the lines’ start with ur dark, create a large mass & then layer mid tones as u see them in life or from a photo. Do not blend. Keep ur strong brush strokes.....mixing each mid tone separate. Less mid tones will create a more loose painting or u can add more mid tones to tighten it up.

Can the teacher please answer this important question ? The teaching has great benefits, but it lacks: 1. Colors used written in the description. (Thanks to Emily we know now. 2. The process, wet on wet or wet on dry ?

Matt, thank you very much! Do you use any medium for acrylic paint. It dry so quickly.
@friedricengravy66465 жыл бұрын
Vladimir Belostotsky The smooth painting surface will slow down the dry time especially where the paint is applied thick. The most useful solution is to mix your mid tones. Blending such as pulling two edges together in order to create the mid tone is frowned upon, even in oil. Light in reality just does not blend this way nor does it create color that can be achieved simply from blending a dark & light together.....Then, the more mid tones u mix & apply, the tighter the painting becomes or the opposite. A dark value, a true color, & a light will create a very loose painting. This approach will also allow u to keep strong brush strokes....without losing them to blending or over stroking. I saw it had been 8 months since ur comment, with no reply. I paint with acrylics as well. I too tried to slow down the dry time with retarders & mediums. The more I studied painting in general, mainly oil...I realized that the fast dry time in acrylic is a bonus, not a hinderance. It may seem more complicated at first, with out ‘blending’ but in time u will enjoy seeing more true color & no longer will u b frustrated with fast drying paint. Ur paintings, loose or tight, will look richer & more professional. The only time I use a medium with acrylics now is to glaze.....Use gloss to avoid cloudy darks from flattening paste. I hope this helps. Happy painting!!!

This is a beautiful tutorial but I do believe that the title is misleading. I understand the loose and expressive doesn’t have to be quick BUT when people search the term they are looking for ways to get out of their heads and paint more EXPRESSIVELY and loose hand. This painting technique is VERY intentional. It’s like saying I’m going to draw a wiggle line but draw each wiggle deliberately instead of organically.
