Video Transcript

Hi I'm Melody on behalf of Expert Village. I'm going to continue on showing you how to use these brushes and the tools that go along with making an acrylic painting. Now were going to take some paint and add to our thinking this are some bushes foilage just to show you what the brushes do, just to show what the lines or shapes they make. This is the slanted brush that we showed you earlier, and I just want to show you the this is a large one and you can make straight little lines, little slanted lines, you can make what looks like the trunk of the brush here. You can make very thin almost like grass markings. And I'll bring those up out so you can see them a little better. I never know what I'm going to do when I haven't done my pre drawing and composition for my painting and we'll be talking about that in another segment. But just to give you an idea what this one does and you can also just make straight actual painting. I'm doing it very lightly because we're going to be potentially making this a little road, or a little path maybe here, just a foreground and it doesn't have to be bushes to the bottom so we need something to have as a base. You can mix in any other colors and see what happens with all that. I just want to give you an idea of what this brush can do. Clean it. But I'm not completely cleaning it because I'll be using it again in a moment. Next segment we'll just show a few more brush strokes and then we'll get on showing you about composition.
