How to Paint With Acrylics

Video Transcript

"Welcome, how you doing? My name's Lars Erik Robinson today I was going to talk about how to use Acrylic paints, and what I've already done here is I've, I've taken one side of a darker color on one side of the brush and then taken a lighter flesh color on the other, so that I could take that side, the darker side and just go on the bottom of it and it kind of gives it a sharp edge on one side and a more blended side on the other. And I've put a lot, kind of a , quite a little bit of water, you don't want it soaking with water, but it gives it, helps that blend affect. Once again you take the side of it and you can do a circle like that, and just twist it around. Look at that, see it makes it really round, you just twist it and it makes it round. So you could either use sponges, to help paint your picture, and that helps it blend. It's almost like a, you can water that sponge down a little bit too, and then you could also take pallet knives, and you can use that on the areas where you know it's, don't be afraid to really cake that on there if you want, to give that a texture look. Take it on the side over here. Well I hope that explains it a little bit more of how you can use Acrylic paints. There's a lot of ways to do it, just experiment, have fun with it, that's what I always encourage. Thank You for joining me and my name's Lars Robinson."
