How does a blending video get better than this!! thank you

[@CaleighBirdArt]

Aww thanks! Glad to help!

[@travissennett1026]

Caleigh, I've been painting for 5 or 6 years now, mostly learned on youtube. I always look for videos on topics i already "know" so maybe I can pick up on some little trick. The scumbling on a surface your already wet-on-wet blended is going to be a game changer. I know it. Thanks!

[@CaleighBirdArt]

Woo hoo! So glad I could help! I love those a-ha moments so much - happy blending!
PS I've been oil painting for 15 years now and I watch the occasional 'how to' vids as well and still manage to pick up new skills. I fully believe in learning forever too!!

[@helengoodinson9551]

This was brilliant, thanks!

[@user-qs2wz6fb3f]

[@fredbrach9091]

Really nice. Thank you for sharing. May I ask what type of canvas you're using in that video? (the ones I found doesnt have that neat grain)

[@jeffm3283]

Aloha from Tennessee! I’m so glad I could help you 😸😸🌈🌈

[@smitasrivastava2425]

☺️

[@ethos9403]

This is magic !! Thankyou for sharing the tip!have a request -- can you please pull the camera away so that beginner's can see what the effect is from a distance

[@CaleighBirdArt]

Great idea! I'll keep that in mind next time I do a vid like this. Thanks for watching!!

[@martialag]

I prefer the wet on dry method 👍🏾

[@CaleighBirdArt]

Yeah I definitely use that method for certain effects too:)

[@hookedbycrafting5348]

Scumbling is like glazing? How is glazing different?

[@fishisnotfishfish2267]

I just grab the brush and clean off the color, than pat it dry, and gently smudge the wet Into the wet paint 🤔

[@CaleighBirdArt]

Sounds like a good technique!
