I’ve been asking artists this on twitter and NONE have told me how to get it to look so smooth. But YOU.. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your technique 🙏🏾. THANK YOU!!

You can also dilute your acrylic paints with water as they are water based. Which saves on paint, makes it easier to apply and also covers better with less globs. You can also have way more brush strokes without having to re-dip your brush. You can even salvage the old clumpy paints by adding hot water to them and shaking it. Hope this helps.

I’ve been trying to get this effect for YEARS trying all kinds of paints and surfaces and never has anyone said this before. I’m going to attempt it tomorrow. I see you paint on canvas. Would this also work on wood surfaces like gesso board or clay board by ampersand? Also, have you tried golden’s new line of SoFlat acrylic?

Hey if you ever see this i want to say thanks for making this video. Although its a pretty simple idea, i really wouldnt have considered the importance. Im trying to combine different thick and thin acrylic mediums on the same piece so i can dust it with pigment. Pretty cool to experiment with that man. Peace. ❤

I have the hardest time trying to pain certain details. I'm painting a drawing of me playing football...I'm having such a hard time painting the stripes on the helmet and the stripes going down the pant leg!!! It's so frustrating 😫
