The key to blending acrylic paint on canvas is to water down the paint to a creamy consistency and then use multiple dry wash brushes to smooth out the brushstrokes. This acrylic paint blending tutorial demonstrates and explains the complete process in detail.

Good tip for beginners Unless you are mixing up large cups of paint suggest to new painters to use small plastic cups

Hey Greg, just wanted to tell you THANKS for the recommendation for the rechargeable airbrush sprayer. TEMU has a nice green one for 21$! I didn't even realize such a critter even existed!---No noisy air compressor nor aggravating lengthy hose to work around. A huge bonus to my work! Thanks Tons!🤠👍 (edit: Wouldn't mind seeing you do a tutorial on how you mix your non airbrush acrylic paint for different artistic effects)

You treated my OCD with kindness. As I watched the video I kept thinking to myself, “Okay I still see a harsh demarcation line between the yellow and what has become orange. Blend a little more here.” And it’s as we were communicating across space and time, because there you went! Absolutely beautiful! Probably not much of a compliment coming from me as I’m not even an artist. But my eyes are happy. 😂 Thank you, thank you!

I'm surprised by how much water is used. Word on the street is that too much water may affect the paint binding, so I have always mixed some medium plus water (I do see your opinion in the video that the amount of water you use doesn't affect the binding).

That anti-water lie came from some UKposts video some lady made. She blocked all comments so that people can’t correct her. You can literally use acrylic as a watercolor and the paint will work just fine. You can thin, glaze etc acrylics using water only and it will be JUST FINE

Anyone ever thought of using what's called a beauty blender sponge in situations like this? I've found that they can cut the blending time way down. I am still working on the technique but it seems promising.

Hi Mr Lowman 😊 only just seen your really good blending video , an area I struggle with being a newbie painter . Do you have a similar tutorial showing the blending technique , but using a larger canvas , say 40 x 50 cms and how to keep the paint wet on a larger canvas . It's just that it is easier for me to see on a larger canvas , but can not keep the paint wet . Thanks very much 😊

Very nice and beautiful and well done. In my painting, the sun is about half an inch, how i blend the sun that looks better? or how i can blend a small area in a painting? Thanks.
@GregLowmanArt
@GregLowmanArt 2 місяці тому
To blend small you can use a smaller brush like a round or filbert, get the bristles just wet enough to break up the paint, do circles on the color changes, and continuously wipe the bristles off when they fill w/ paint. Skip the last step and don't go over the area with a dry brush to avoid smearing/streaking. You can blend pretty much anything doing this, even smooth skin tones - ukposts.info/have/v-deo/rHRkjHt-mIeo2Js.html

Some good info. Were the acrylics or canvas pre coated or mixed with titanium white paint? I know it can kill the vibrancy in colors but have also learned without it colors can also lose some brightness when dried

No titanium white was added, just primary yellow + red

How do you know when you used to much water? I'm guessing the quality of the paint helps because they probably have better binding than the cheaper ones...idk. I tried painting couple years ago and my pictures kept cracking
@GregLowmanArt
@GregLowmanArt 2 місяці тому
Your paint should never crack, even after many years - applying it too thick or using a cheap brand is usually what causes that. A good paint will even allow for watered-down glazes and washes without cracking/peeling. You may want to try one of the paints below and shoot for a creamy consistency like shown in the video: Liquitex - amzn.to/3UX6XVz Winsor & Newton - amzn.to/3Telf2P Golden - amzn.to/3UW5HC4

Small detail blending is a whole different thing - use a small brush (round or filbert), keep bristles moist, and do small circles on the edges of color changes until they mix. Skip the last step of going over everything w/ a dry brush. When done correctly, you can even blend skin tones: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/rHRkjHt-mIeo2Js.htmlsi=S45uvRwiOX_z43Nc
