the middle and stamp it across your trees, start on the top half and then you can drag bits into the water like this, there we go, this just adds a much more realistic vibe to your uh. to your artwork and it's like a dry mix, you're putting it on, but as it's there, you have the opportunity to spread it, let's call it spread because a lot of us know what spread means, okay, so we're just putting it on. . and smearing it all the way through, sometimes you can make a nice picture of a tree or rocks or something, but something is missing, those are the darkest values, you need those dark values ​​in the right place once you've worked them in.

The stuff They come to life and make your art absolutely good, it may seem a little funny, but when you put your reflections in there, can I adjust this? Yes I can, while I'm live you can cancel the use, no I don't want to. cancel the USB transmission, okay, now what I'm going to do is just highlight that I'm going to use the same brush but that cadmium yellow light that I had down here. I want to take some of that now and just make a lighter. value just so you can see how we're going to highlight those trees and

blend

the reflections in the water, so we put a little bit of water in there to make it foreign Inky, okay, we've got some Canadians in the room, let's see if this is bright enough.

I feel like I wanted a little more yellow, it's not yellow-green enough, so I'm really adding a little more yellow now, making it really yellow-green. That will do now. I just want something like in the top half. I'm stamping this on that one. black that I put that it's important that it drips on it a little bit drips on it there's the black part and I'm dripping on it okay, you want to drip on it to sink that black part into the bowels of your painting, you need to sink back the things have to look good there, so look what I'm doing here drip that on the black there we can take our time because it's all dry mixing this put a little bit of that there this is just a simple stamping brush Strokes for some trees,

beginners

can do this with their eyes closed, it's just knowing how to do it and it's fantastic, it's a lot of fun, a lot of fun and it's great therapy, plus art is wonderful therapy, well here we go, we've haggled over the black . now we just put this on the stamp and drag it down, stamp it and drag it down like I said, this should be in a lake, not in the ocean, because you don't get reflections like this in the ocean, so if there are some detail.

The police are there telling me that I made the wrong colors and that well, you have to pick up some rocks and go roll them because this is just a tutorial for

beginners

on how they can mix

acrylic

, wet, dry and a gummy star. Hopefully this works. Okay, I'll take a look at the monitor, yeah, that's a little weird, get it, so I've got some crooked ones there, but there we go, it's a pretty dry mix, okay, and look here what I said about dribbling where. Is that part over there that you want right over the black?

There we go, look at that, it looks wet but it's not wet, it's mixed and it's dry. Okay, now something else quicker and simpler, if I can get the time Danette Smith. Good morning Danette Smith, another member of mine, welcome to the live chat, there all my members get thanks when I see their names there. Thank you very much Danette Smith for your Super Chat donation. Hugs and kisses for you, thank you. Now I'm going to Is that paint dry? I'll take a little more white. I'm just going to put a little bit of glitter in here.

How do we get a shine? So I'll use a smaller brush. Where was my little Scrambler? I'll use that little one. Scrambler one, find out which brush does good things and which doesn't. I'm going to use my little stirrer brush. I just call it stirrer brush now. I just washed it with water and it's still very wet, so I don't want it wet, I want it dry, like rubbery, I want to pick up some paint and wear it down because I just want some Inkling, let's say we have, we'll continue here, This paint is probably already too dry, so I'm going to focus there, it could just be a glow of the Moon out there.

Now I'm going to just clean this brush, clean the living shit, okay, and see if I can get that on the edges of this. that color, I see well, I took this little brush, the hairs are short, so they bend less and are more likely to push the paint and manipulate it. Look here where I want it to go if I had a longer hair brush. I'll be flipping, tripping, and torpedoing, so the shorter the hairs, the more control you'll have to push. Look, it was pretty dry there, it's rubbery and dry, very rubbery and almost dry, but as I was able to get it.

Look, that's what I wanted now, take a um, what do we have? Let's try this flat brush. Nice flat brush. I'll wet it, pick up that white, no, I've used it all, let's take some more white, my water is. probably dry but I'm going to try it. I'll try. It's a tutorial that you have to watch and if I make a mistake then you'll see it all, so I'm going to follow some of this there. Now I need Malcolm again. My mouth sticks together just so I can lean over. So I used a flat brush because what I want to do I want to get that shine.

So you remember how I put these things here. The same principle that we are putting. The glow down here is my peripheral vision. I've got a DOT down there and we want to look at this up now. Dance and keep it straight. Don't come at an angle. I've seen people have their coast here and put their thing at an angle don't do that now I've done so far what I have to do is just clean that up and then like I did with the other one, push it here and there, get rid of those edges, just make It looks mixed with the water there, it might pick up some blue, which is good because you don't want pure white, but I'm just trying to speed this up to get this example working, leave some cylinder ribbons intact. leave pieces of ribbons in there that don't touch and just dance left and right as you play with it, get out here a little bit more, clean your brush, flat brush, clean it flat so you can smear it in a controlled way, that's Dry water very dry rubbery there, but I can

blend

this so that it not only looks like it's on top, but it looks like part of the paint, if you know what I mean and if you feel like you've done a little bit too.

There's a lot somewhere here just take that watercolor now look here as we get closer we can put a little bit of this crunchy texture right on top of these waves here look I'm looking at the monitor to see where I can go yeah I could see I could I see that there are really crunchy bits out here crunchy and I think this can probably do it. How come we put some bright, crisp sunlight into that water? It's a beautiful sunny day, but we have a strange sunny sky overhead. there, but okay, it's a tutorial, so I'm just going to put Malcolm back in his cart there, let's take a look at our combination, so we have these colors.

Mixed together, we have the clouds. Mixed together, we have we have the water mixed with the sand we have the sand that appears to be submerged in the water we have some trees there mixed with the reflection what we can do is just grab any type of brush. I'm going to grab this. one, I'll pick up some white paint and then I'll just wipe most of it off or grab my stick so I can get smeared, sit those Reflections, so cross the water, find both subjects, oh. There's not much of it, erase too much, okay, let's go again, there we go and we're just going to sink our Reflections in the water, this is something like on this side of the ocean there's like a lake, oh, that's too much . and on the other sides like the ocean, so we have sunk those Reflections.

I'm just going to pick up a little bit of that turquoise there and hopefully I can get rid of that big bright line that I put there. Look how easy it is to fix a mistake if I can get a little bit more it's trying to dry on me oh too dark bleach that a little bit it doesn't matter we'll have a dark band there shadows and stuff just wet the brush but I think I wet it too much, let's get rid of that stick, oh the camera doesn't really pick it up, but I put a film of water on top so those Reflections sink in, okay?

What is it, Marilyn Lynch? I bet it shows you a lot of comments. from I love it, yeah, you need a lot of why I say it's just a bigger way of saying wow, so here we go. I will change the thumbnail of this video. uh. I'm going to know where my little um did the lack of going. We'll put a dark color here just so we can autograph it here on the bottom right I guess, and I want to thank everyone who supports my content on YouTube and the sponsors, much appreciated, check out the links in the description below I have a lot of links there, look what's in me covered and there are plenty of links there that will probably help you.

Signatures are fun. Hey, sometimes they go really well and sometimes they just look like crap, okay now? I always put Steve's little print in there and we put a frame on it to see what it looks like in a frame. It's not a proper painting, but it's just a demonstration, but we'll still put a frame on it and see how it looks there. see, you can get a vibe, it's a weird looking sky, but we've mixed a lot of

acrylic

paints

and I know if you're starting out and you're just starting out and you're practicing, I know you can do it well.

I'll come back here and okay, where are we? Where we are? I have to turn some different lights on and off now, so where are we? I'll turn this one off, I'll turn that one on, and I'll turn that one on. one off and one on so you can see a little better, there we go, that's what I normally do when I'm editing. I hope you like that exercise, that's how I combine, there are many ways you can teach, but that's all I can throw up on this, you know, I had an hour, I thought you know what I'll quickly post and do this demo on how to mix acrylics, thanks Barry, uh, you're going to hit it with a frame.

I have a bit of a mess to clean up now. But that's all part of the art, isn't it, isn't it, they can get in there.

There's a dirty one here that can get in there. So I finished the video. Now this is just the end of the reel, so if you want to stay and watch. What I do is that the battery will probably run out every time I don't know, but I have at least with my painting in front of the clock. I have at least a good hour and a bit of battery, so I have to remember when I'm going live to charge my battery. Last Friday Night Live. I prepared my camera. My God! I didn't charge the camera.

I had 10 minutes left, so I quickly charged it. fortunately, it was enough to add something extra to make it enough uh Danette Smith. Good for you, you love the tutorial, I learned a lot. Good to hear from Susan Chambers. It's good to hear Chicky. Alright. I'm going to turn this camera off now and um. cleaning up, uh, where are we?, where is everything? I have to get back to this guru thing now.
