Amazing! And what a beautiful painting! I am learning to paint and am using acrylics. I became very ill and disabled a couple of years ago, but took up art as a hobby, and it has really benefited me so much. It's fun and relaxing. I am self taught, but these tips are so good.

Another amazing video. One thing you demonstrated here beautifully and what I LOVE about acrylics is the versatility - it can be really frustrating to paint wet-on-wet in acrylic and seem impossible to replicate an oil approach but you have shown how you can still create paintings that look like oils without the oil!

Hi... i love following your tutorials. I have become a better artist because of you. Watching your tips, i wanted to mention that once i have my background done and dried. I use colored chalk to outline my vase and even select the placement and size of flowers. It works well for me because i can modify and make changes easily by wiping the chalk off with a dry paper towel and redo it again. Thank you again...Ken from Boston
