- If your acrylic paintings are looking too rough when you try to blend, try this tool to keep everything smooth! This tool will help keep your acrylic paints wet longer so that you have time to blend like you would in oil paints! I'm showing you this tool in action to blend clouds in wet over dry vs drybrushing and again in a more advanced raccoon painting!

Why couldn't she shoot me the face with the fine mist one instead of the laser death beam one? NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THE FINE MIST!
Fine mist wasn't enough to discipline your judgments.
Apparently “Positive Reinforcement” isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be! 🤕
I have to commend you Matt on your absolute commitment to Lisa, taking one in the eye for the team!! I absolutely LOVE the humor of your couples videos. Both of you rock! Thank you Lisa, I enjoy your lessons tremendously! BTW… I enjoy my wine the same way… any comments really deserves a squirt 🤣
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 Suggestion: adding a line of hubby spray bottles to the merchandise. Your welcome!
I've avoided acrylics for years simply because I've not been able to make them look like oils, which are my first love. But now... fine misting! Who knew?!?. I'm so glad you're video 'accidentally' popped up in my feed. I can't wait to try this.
YAY!! I'm so glad I could help!!
Omg your husband's willingness to be on your videos and be sprayed with a water bottle is commendable, amazing and HILARIOUS!
Im just starting to explore acrylics, so I appreciate the tip!
I laughed so hard when she squirted him in the face, and he couldn't hide his smile. Great sport.
It took a small bit of practice, but now my relationship with acrylic paint is vastly improved. I almost cried when I made the softest, puffy, fluffy, wispy clouds ever in my painting career! Lisa, I thank you for this and all you have taught me.
Same😅❤
I have recently learned the fine mist water technique when painting northern lights, but I’m happy you’ve helped me to appreciate that it can be used in so many other acrylic applications. I started painting in my 60’s and turned 70 yesterday. Videos like yours are giving me more and more confidence to press forward. I’m enjoying it so much more now that I’m seeing some advancements with each painting. Never too old to learn more and more!!!
Thank you
I'm 61 and am starting painting now.I thought I was the only one, glad to find a kindred soul😄
That's awesome! Happy birthday!! ♥️
@@marciabarreto780 I started at 61. I just turned 67. I am painting raccoons right now. I started the painting late last year and had a long interruption. So I’m thrilled to see that Lisa painted this gorgeous raccoon in the meantime! (My icon is a coloured pencil piece I did from a Bonny Snowdon tutorial - it really is never too late!)
@@SabineLeppanen_Art Congratulations, Lachri, it encourages me!
Wow! Thank you so much for this tip! I never knew! Also you are super quirky and have a great sense of humor! 😂
Thank you! ♥️♥️
I've used a fine mister for years. I love the one from chroma atilier. I realized I had stumbled onto something amazing when several people who "hate acrylics" due to the plastic look just gushed over my work and "loved my oils"...that were acrylics. I don't work with oil paint. I'm so glad to see someone sharing this with beginners!
You and your husband are hilarious 😆 ❤️
You do not have problems with the layers already there "unglue" from the substract when you mist it?
@@tiagodagostini Do I have issues with the previous layers of the painting coming up? Never. I let the paint dry completely before adding another layer. I only use liquitex and golden so results with other brands may vary.
I adore your sense of humor. I got a fine mist bottle and now have improved paintings and husband😉
LOL YAY!
I prefer oils……BUT, you also need ( for your health’s sake) good ventilation. Winter time makes it more difficult because you can’t crank open windows. Acrylics-winter, oils-summer.
I'm so glad we have both to choose from!!
I use pure lavender for layer one. Walnut oil for other layers.. Turpenoid natural for brush cleaning and a tiny bit for paint thinner.
Non- poisonous . Might need slight ventilation . The lavender very strong odor but NOT. Toxic to breathe or on skin.
Dries faster too than. Linseed oil not toxic like turpentine or mineral spirits
I loved that you use a make up fluffy brush to blend. They are definitely the best for that! Thank you for these amazing tips! ❤️
Hahahahaha loved this! You’re husbands such a good sport. Thanks for the painting tips as well. Definitely going to give them a try, I totally lean to the smooth blending. I fear I often overblend🙈
Overblending is easy to do with this technique. You only need a couple of swipes with that mop brush (or blush/powder brush in my case) to get good results. If you're doing more than 5 swipes with the brush it's probably too much!
This painting is amazing. You’re super talented. And you inject humor and have your husband help out. And you explain everything, and describe the brushes too 😭 Protect this woman at all cost.
I’ve been using the fine mist sprayer for years now my professor in college who also mostly oil paints taught us this first lesson. glad to see other artist also using this style ❤️I love your art ❤️
Thank you
Hi I have just found your wonderful, easy to follow video's with humour thrown in (God Bless your husband ! ) I am 74 and have just got back into painting with Acrylic after a long time ... ugh ... back to basics for me, lol, also have discovered Coloured Pencils and Adult Colouring Books, all of which is making me a lot happier 'home alone' along with my adopted greyhound 'Sunny'. So delighted to have found such in depth videos and I am enjoying your company as I start from scratch again. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into these. Cheers from 'not so sunny' Australia at the moment ... winter just started :)
Oh my gosh that racoon painting is cute and beautiful!!
Awesome tips for blending!!! It is one of my most frustrating things but I just don't want the added dry time and even more so money and cleaning solvents that you need with oils. So I look forward to trying this :) thanks!!
And your hubby is a great sport!! Every good marriage has lots of laughter and clearly you guys do!! 😁
Wow!!! I would never use this word lightly: You are a MASTER!
This is so inspirational!
Thanks to you I now have two fine mist spray bottles and they are amazing! Loved seeing you play violin and the “husband control” ❤️😂
Thanks! :D
That’s one of the most realistic paintings I’ve ever seen.
THanks for a great demo. I could have watched you paint that raccoon for days! Thanks for your humor, and skill at presenting. And thanks to your husband for his cameos.
Glad you enjoyed it!
First time on your channel, and I liked this video as soon as you sprayed your husband in the face, but that raccoon painting was the most incredible acrylic painting I've ever seen!
I love the new format! Very entertaining and informative at the same time. The live streams were a bit worn out, people asking the same questions over and over...
This painting is beautiful and the tips on blending are great!
Thank you!! I'm so glad you liked it! :D
This is probably the best video! ❤ Thank you so much for sharing this! ✨️🙏
I have a BA (HONS) in art. After working in a soulless job for the last 30 years, I've started to paint again. THIS HAS HELPED ME. So thank you!
Glad I could help!
Your husband is such a good sport! Tell him thank you for the awesome humorous elements! Seriously, these types are game changers! Thank you so much!
LOL he really is a good sport! I married well! :D Glad you liked the tips!
Oh….my….gosh. You are so talented and so funny that you just made my morning! Go girl.
I love the white and black hairs on his head!! You made them look like individual hairs, which I was having trouble with for my cats.
That is such a cute racoon!🥰
The sound of the bubbling wine made me want some 🍷💖
😂
Great lesson, and - your raccoon 🥰
As soon as you sprayed your husband I immediately subscribed, love the tips also 👌🏻
Yay! Thank you!
Love your sense of humor! 😂
Awesome raccoon painting!!!!!
Oh wow! it's so good to see you back Lisa, with these short videos full of helpful suggestions. I was really missing these videos. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you!! :D
I am so impressed with this work. Thank you for showing it is possible to get acrylic to look like oil. I have some old acrylic that I wasn't sure I wanted to use and had preferred to get oil but you helped me change mind.
Whoa. This was awesome.
You're great. - that aside I have been using your blending technique you're discussing for years and I didn't know that people find it hard or that most people dont know about it, you enlightened me. I love your work. Thanks for your videos
Nice. I learned a thing or too. That roughness is why I switched to the airbrush for a lot of my softer work, especially clouds. 😎
The airbrush is a must have for me for sure!
@@Lachri I loved your video and tips! I'm not familiar with airbrush. Would you please explain what airbrush is and how you use it?
Another great video Lisa (and Matt)! Made me 😂. Your tips for a fine mist sprayer and blush brushes were game changers for me and my frustrations with acrylic. I tried a smooth canvas with my last painting and I was amazed by the difference it made. Thanks for all you do!
I'm so glad to hear that!!
Whoah! This is great..thank you for sharing your great techniques. 👍🏼
So so beautiful
The tips, humor, instruction, and experience are stellar! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I loved this, and you're so funny too. The spray bottle for disciplining your husband and playing the violin with a shoe as a technique crack me up. You and your husband must have a lot of laughs.
You are cute and funny. Hubby is very patient and humble. Lucky you.
That is really great, great teaching for us artist good information.
Oh going to try this! Have gone from acrylics to oil (because of the smoooothness) but now I have a lot of acrylics just laying around. Thank you!!
Brilliant! ❤
I enjoy your sense of humor!
He is so cute! I love this painting!
Wouldn't have thought of a mister. Good idea👍
LOVE the sound of a sword when you pulled out a pencil. Did anyone else notice?!!!❤😮
WOW you are an absolute amazing artist
The wine skit spoke to me !
😂😂😂
Excellent advise as always, I’ve learned so much in the years since I found you. Patreon makes a huge difference, I wish everyone really understood how amazing it is to have all that information there to watch and learn at any time. Thank you so much for all the information and entertainment you give us, 👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇸🇧🇸
Thank you soooo much!! ❤
That is so cool! Definitely going to try this technique.
Your husband is such a good sport! That was hilarious!
Look at the effort of you, you deserve so many more subscribers, students etc. Your hard work is seen, felt and inspired. Thank you❤
I'm pretty sure this is life changing painting advice- Thank you Lisa! This looks so much better than using a slow dry medium. (I'm so impatient lol)
I have a fine mister that I use on canvas b4 applying paint as well as on my paint to keep open...BRILLIANT tip on applying while trying to blend...will try that tonite!!!
This was such a fun and informative video! I willl check you out on Patreon!
Thanks for this video. Great stuff!
Great fun Lisa!! Good reminder of the mister and mop brush techniques. TFS!!
You are so welcome!
I laughed out loud several times in this video, you and Matt are hilarious. 😂
I don't paint, only draw, but I am thinking I will.
Love the painting!❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome!!!! ❤
Fabulous video, thanks for tools, tips & techniques!! 🥰❤❤❤

Fine misting made my art
So much better!

I've recently bought a set of acrylics and was waiting to make something with them, this will be my first time painting with acrylics and i am So glad I found your channel. This seems like such a good technique and i went through your channel and you have an introduction to acrylics video!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ I'll go watch that right away, thank you for sharing such valuable information and tips for freeee, I am a subscriber now🥰
Loved this! A very enjoyable lesson to watch!...in more than one way!😉 The raccoon painting looked really awesome! So life like. Will check out your art lessons. Thank you😊
After I watched you video, I went and bought this, omg I love it!!! Thank you so much!
That's awesome!!! :D
Great video! A water mister and mop brush are are now on the to buy list. Love your sense of humour.
This was fun! And educational! -> Inspired!
I have needed this video! How to blend acrylics like oils without muddying tones or losing form. Thank you so much!!!
You are so welcome!
THANK YOU SO MUCH ! You have taught me some really helpful things.
Muchas gracias por esos maravillosos consejos. 😊
😄😄😄very much loved it! Thank you for this tip!
Informative and funny! Gentlemen were very cooperative. Thanks! Love your work, Lady!
I'm just happy to know I'm not the only person who uses spray bottles as long-distance discipling on their husband. I used to use the heavy duty ones from Home Depot but got tired of having to refill them so often and bought a 1gal pump sprayer.
HAHAHAHA!!!
Ive been getting a similar effect by using Golden Open white and medium which I mix with my regular soft bodies. Its been a game changer in creating soft transitions. I painted a Bouguereau study that came out just as good as oil.
What's the difference between soft body and open?
@@kelb6073 Soft body acrylics are more liquid like in consistency. Open acrylics are another type of acrylic that are designed to stay wet longer.
I’ve been using open medium with good results but this technique looks even easier and cheaper.
I’m going to try that, thanks! Do you post pictures of your work online? I would love to see it.
@@SabineLeppanen_Art I have an instagram. Same name. Cheers.
Love the new format
Awesome tips, thankyou so much!
Lisa, I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your videos (though I never comment, but really should). Your techniques resonate with me and your personality alone is worth watching. Thank you for this excellent tip. I have heard about people using oil on acrylic and was thrilled to see you do this too. I was going to go out and purchase a few oil paints to try on my own acrylic paintings, but now I may wait for my mister to arrive ( thank you for the link) and try this method first. I’m used to pastels and colored pencils, so it’s still hit or miss if a painting turns out the way I want it to. I’m hoping this will help!! Thank you again for sharing all your wonderful tips and techniques with us. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!!! That is so nice to hear
@@Lachri You probably get so many people talking about you, but I wanted you to know I mention you a lot in the videos I made recently on my channel. I didn’t see your spray bottle technique until I worked on the final part but I let everyone know where I learned it. Thank you again. It’s actually making a big difference in my paintings.
Great work!
really beautiful
Inspiring techniques and art.
Omg thank you for this you’re a QUEEN🙌
Glad you liked it! :D
Sounds like a good tool for watercolors, too!
Great tips, thank you so much!
This was so helpful! I feel like I don’t find as many new techniques to help me improve as I used to. Really hope this helps me level up!
Glad it was helpful!
I did enjoy this video! Good tip with mop brush.😊
Thank you! Been looking for a solution to get that soft effect with acrylics.
Wow I love this video, in all of my years painting I have never known this tip. I have always tried blending with wet paints in general, that is a great idea. First time I have seen one of your videos and I love the humor and editing style!
Thank you!! :D
Excellent video. Thank you!
Been thinking of doing this 😍 great tutorial and lovely artwork
I love a good mop brush. I even use them with oil, which most folks haven't heard of. A cheap alternative to a good, professional mob brush is a makeup mop brush. Essentially the same, and cheaper.
The makeup brushes are the best!! They don't shed like art mop brushes. ♥️♥️
Awesome!!!!!!!! TY
Woooooow, this is amazing, and such a great video!
