LET'S PRACTICE: ACRYLIC PAINTING! (so we can improve and get better and not suck)

- The only way to improve is to...do. Which sometimes can feel like the hardest thing to accomplish. Well, I want to improve so I'm gonna try and make a habit out of painting something every month with my acrylic paints. To improve my color mixing, hand eye coordination with the brushes, and overall blending. There is a lot that goes into painting. Luckily, it all comes flying at you when you try. If there is something you want to improve on and just haven't felt the insp, this is the universe telling you to give it a try. ;)
Also, now that I've been looking at the finished painting for a few days. The green background reminds me too much of mold. and I don't really want mold to even cross someone's mind when they are looking at a delicious waffle and fruit. hahaha something to keep in mind for the future. XP

Rin: I bet a lot of you learned something new
me: well actually
Rin: nerd
I love you so much
And that painting is gorgeous. Looks too tasty to be a painting and now I want waffles but it's the middle of the night :(((((
🤣 I want waffles too
haha 😂
And? Waffles don't take that long to make....................they're very tasty...............
Just go make some!
being a nerd is cool tho >:D
@@lemondoodles9083 I like your profile pic and your art video :)) pretty cool!
a waffle a day keeps the artblock away
thats my secret. ;)
Love this 💜✌💚💙
@@drawingwiffwaffles how long did the painting take you?
about 3 hours. :)
MY NEW MOTTO YUSS
That explosion of saturated teal in the center at the end was definitely the way to go imo! Gave the painting a sense of movement!
i didn't think of it that way, but you have a point!
When Waffles finally draws Waffles 😳🤭😊🤯
is this the sign of the end of times?!?
I was waiting for this moment!!!
Technically she painted it 😶😅
@@drawingwiffwaffles No it is the
beginning of a Waffle army!
@@drawingwiffwaffles just stop your crying its the sign of the timesssssssss
My dad and I used to paint a lot. He did a lot of abstract art. Your doing a great job with your art! And that paint peeling is SUPER satisfying.
I love this comment! It makes me sooooo happy to see artists building other artists up, you know? Instead of trying to bring them down....so this comment made me super super happy. Keep that up please!
Love this comment ❤️ Heartwarming
No one. cares bro
@@paulwoodford1984 I. Care bro

@@drawingwiffwaffles Factss
I like how the original teal background was cool, but the extra teal right from the tube made it look (to me) as if the food was floating in water.
Ewww... wet waffles! D:
@@Bloomkyaaa lol it’s art! 🤣😂
Agree
I’m primarily a digital artist, but I do find myself missing traditional painting so I painted for the first time in I’d say a year just a couple days ago. This video has me even more motivated to paint again.
I’ve recently stopped painting since art has become very stressful. I’ve kinda blocked art out for a bit, unintentionally. Even though it makes me so happy, it’s just become bland for me. Hopefully this video can inspire me to start painting again!
I wish you the best with painting Jelly!
@@snippyhera thank you so so much, Olivia!
i'm sorry to hear that. you might just need a little break. no shame in that. i find that when i do take breaks, i start getting that desire to draw after a while. Just gotta wait it out. If its been a really long time, then I'd recommend just sitting down to try. But otherwise, let yourself have a break.
@@drawingwiffwaffles thank you so much for your advice, waffles. It means a lot. I’ll try it out for sure
I agree, sometimes a mental breath is needed. Or try something completely different than your usual art style or type and see if it inspires you.
i adore when you work with paint, it’s so interesting watching you learn new things and what not. I have no artistic talent but it’s still lovely watching your videos 💗🥺
Thanks for the kind words! if you ever feel a desire to draw, i hope you'll let yourself do it without any judgement.
I was literally surfing CZcams for smith to watch while painting with acrylics, and guess what you dropppp!
Also, kinda digging your nails gurl and up can you tell me how to keep up with a sketchbook, I have one, I even try but... the sad reality lol
But I’m happy now that you’ve posted ❤️💖
what a coinky-dink!
My recommendation would be to keep the sketchbook nearby. If its there, you might find yourself grabbing for it whenever you're not doing anything. If you have to get up to find it, you probably won't use it. :)
even though the question isn’t directed at me i just wanted to add a little tidbit that helped me a lot, if your sketchbook is sorta intimidating sometimes, it helped for me to just start drawing on some spare paper so that i didn’t feel the weight of “this is going to be in this book forever”, and if i liked it, i could reference it later or glue it in the book .v. it also helps to just get you into the feel of drawing so that you can create some more
@Nightshade I have the dotted lines on the pages that make it really easy to rip pages out cleanly and at first I was kinda afraid to take pages out but then I realized like you said that it’s just less pressure if it’s not like it has to be there forever
THANKYOU SO MUCH ALL OF YOUUU
Some sketchbook tips from someone how goes though a sketchbook a Month:
1. Get into the habit of drawing everyday (you don't have to get used to this right away, but slowly work towards it, if you want I can explain how I did this in more detail)
2. Buy an art supplies you really enjoy, and only let yourself use it in you sketchbook
3. Make OCs, designing OCs is a great way to fill up a sketchbook
4. Buy/find decorative paper and draw on it, and stick it in you sketchbook, I do this all the time with things like paper bag (this can also help you with your color theory and with being more cohesive)
5. Study color theory, you can fill alot of pages figuring things out.
6. Draw over unusual textures (I personally love drawing over paint)
7. Study new things (human anatomy, animal anatomy, plants)
8. Writing storys (coming up with places, people, clothing and world building can lead to you drawing things like scenes)
9. Buy small sketchbooks. (If you don't have alot of pages in a sketchbook it can give you more motivation to finish the next one)
10. Make welcoming pages (I full my welcome page with quotes) you can do this by adding a solid painted background, a finished illustration, etc.
11. Trying new art supplies (figuring out how they work can prompt you to draw for longer)
12. Working on you art style/devolving your art style. (You draw for longer trying to figure.out particular things about it)
13. Try art trends (fills more pages and can help you find a new art supplies to use in your sketchbook)
14. Study light Theory.
15. Draw whenever watching a certain CZcamsr/podcaster. (If you make a point at first, over time you brain gets used to it and you start doing it subconsciously)
I have more if you'd like :)
this makes me want to get out my art supplies and start painting :>
DO IT!
@@drawingwiffwaffles yessss!
when you said "ah-peel-ing" I knew I was in the right place today
we stan puns >:3
i subbed when i heard that tbh
And again. I was just about to paint with acrylic paints. :0 now i can draw alongside that video ;--; thaaanks~♡
Saaame
painting buddies! :D :D
Same!

"Oldy moldy" mismatched brushes and the random, messy pallet are such an artist mood.
Dear Rin
Just a underrated tip of advice from a fellow artist
Something that could really help you is having a scrap of artist’s paper beside you while you paint to test out your newly mixed colours on before putting them directly onto the canvas
Hope this helps 😊
You inspire me so much, not just because you are an artist, but because you dealt with (and probably still do) deal with chronic illness.
chronic pain club where ya’ll at?
🙌🙌🙌 ayyyye!
Aw thanks
And she stays so sweet with such a positive attitude. Not my strong suit!
@@cpolt1192 I know, right?
Ayeee same lol.
I relate so much to this video man- Whenever I drew, it left me unsatisfied and then I'd cover it up, tone it down a bit, blend it and I'd still be unsatisifed but by the end of the painting I'd go easy on myself and relax a bit. Also the waffles look epic
I taught myself to paint with acrylics about 5 years ago. I love painting so much, but recently I have been struggling finding motivation to create and also the confidence to try. I have felt like I suck and don't know what i'm doing because I always have to paint over parts, and restart and that I seemingly can't blend colors and just my mind says "YOU SUCK STOP PAINTING". Your video and commentary has shown me that it is completely normal to redo things and start over and try multiple times. And if a wonderful artist like you does that, then I am not a weirdo and I don't "suck". Thank you.
Rin: a canvas isn't a painting unless you add (takes deep breath) bear with me...
Me: 😮 I wonder what it could be!
Rin: paint.
Me: 🤦🏻♀️
In my defense it's at least 3 hours past my usual bedtime 😅
go to bed, hun. 💜 haha
God you were simple back then lol. The world is screwed if people like you are in the world
waffle: "im gonna use this spatula to mix my paint!"
also waffle: uses it like twice*
The way she added the highlights and details to make it realistic, it looked like a commercial
Im glad you're showing your progress with paint. I'm literally struggling with my 3rd acrylic painting right now. I don't paint at all and have been wanting to learn and this was the perfect motivation to keep at it tonight while listening.
I keep replaying the growl at 13:15.
"This is kind of my favorite way that it looks but... uh... I confess, I changed it and basically threw that away, so now we're back to the way it was before" *tiny growl*
This is the story of my life with art.
I really love what you did, that ending with the pop of saturated teal really tied it together in my opinion!
Also your nails are so adorable.
Is it weird that right when this video was published I was setting up my acrylics?
thats what you call a coinky-dink. ;)
@@drawingwiffwaffles yep a coinky dink
She knows... 👀
To me the painting looks like a delicious waffle breakfast wonderland island!
The whip cream being the mountains along with the many berries, and the waffles being the land itself🍯🧇🤎!
let's move there.
@@drawingwiffwaffles imma come with you, wait for me while I pack my bags
@@drawingwiffwaffles lets do it!! you and all your subscribers
Ahhh I felt this process to the depths of my bones. The result is so beautiful and I definitely need to remind myself it's ok to struggle to get there!
Your realness on the process is so validating!!
Idk what it is about painting the edges of a canvas that is so satisfying !
Also love it, background looks awesome. The cream looks good too!
Thank you so much 💜
I wanna take the drawing and eat it it looks so good! 🤤
perfect timing! I was just about to do my art homework and now I can watch this while painting! ✨😋
yay! we can be painting buddies! :D
Rin!! every time you paint I am so so impressed! you always talk about how you haven't been painting for that long but like you're already such a beautiful painter by nature!!
rin, i gotta say, youre one of the people who inspires me SO SO MUCH when im in an art block, or just unmotivated but have a million ideas. please keep being the amazing person you are
This came right on time! I spent most of this morning trying to paint and I had to take a break cuz it was driving me crazy lol. Love you Rin!
You got this! Enjoy your break. Then hit the ground running.
It always puts a smile on my face when I see you upload, thank you so much for everything!❤
You are so welcome! thanks for the support! 💜
thank you so very much for constantly inspiring us all to create , for showing the real human side of being an artist and teaching us things like painting skills and blueberry anatomy , all while entertaining us and making us smile
As a Art student i can confirm acrylic paint doesn’t get easier the more you do it you always have the struggle of the plastic texture but honestly this is amazing ! And I’ve never thought of doing the darks first I always use the light then layer but maybe dark to light would be easier (more paint is used though )
I love your art Rin! You really inspire me to draw ✧
Your personality brightens me up everytime I watch one of your videos ♡
i'm flattered to hear that. 💜
@@drawingwiffwaffles 💙💙
Brava! (I was starting to wonder if you were making 3D waffles...that was a lot of coats! !)
Maybe a smaller brush at the end. But what do I know I am watercolorists!
haha i appreciate you trying to help. lol 💜
Love your authenticity, humor, silliness, cray, skill, modesty
Excuse me, I came here for the paint tutorial, I didn’t know I was going to get the definition of JOY in a video 😂 this is great
art block yeets itself out the window when Rin posts!
Your video titles are always calling me out LOL! I just bought acrylic paints but have no idea how to paint so perfect timing
oh yeahhh, you got this!!!
@@drawingwiffwaffles Thanks lol your vids are always helpful!
love! it's so helpful and confidence building for us normies when you talk about your mess ups and how you fixed them. you're great.
This video gave me some inspiration/confidence to start painting again. I have always been happier when I paint but for some reason I always reach a point where I just...stop. Thanks for the push 💕💕
I feel like a learn a lot more from rin than i do at school.
She didn’t know how to mix a black with ultra marine blue and burnt umber lol. Or using the three primary colours. Not exactly someone to look up too. more like look down on
I’ve been watching Waffles for a couple years now. I suddenly became very motivated to explore different art styles the second I discovered her channel, and now i’m extremely happy with how far i’ve come. I’m so grateful that I came across this channel, it really helped me through tough times!
I loved this!! So chill and all your little voices at the start had me 😂
Your work is soooo inspirational! You see something you want to improve and dive right in and confidently share how you are constantly learning and trying new things!
Oh my gosh, this looks AMAZING!!!!! 😱🤩💕
Thanks Gracie!
This is gonna help me when I go to Michaels and get paint: ✌️

I absolutely love your art and whenever I watch your videos it inspires me to create something. I've been getting so much better with my painting and drawing skills lately. I hope you never stop creating those beautiful masterpeices as long as you're still inspired! Also, waffles are probably my favorite breakfast/dessert food...
a tip I learned from one of my favourite teachers in HS
when painting, paint the background first and work from the back to the front
this way you don't have to worry about painting over the subject that you worked so hard on
I ordered the 48-count mixed pack of Ohuhu brush markers and i absolutely LOVE them! I plan to get the skin tone set later in the future. Thanks so much for doing a review for it! When you used them in your videos it inspired me to get them sooo thank u :)
so glad you found an art supply that is bringing you joy! have fun! 💜
@@drawingwiffwaffles me too! thank you so much!! ♥
I just got the pastel set! Been loving them! Made me want the rest of the colors.....
@@cpolt1192 ikr i want the other ones too! I've been wanting to get that set, but the mixed pack does come with some of the pastels tho.
The Ohuhu skin tone set are by far my favorite skin tone set.
For some reason this video was so satisfying! You should definitely make more videos like this!
Agreed!
Eek! So excited!
💜💜💜
I love your snarkey humor and raw honesty. Ultimatley you got there yeah you.
this video was literally 50% puns and I'm living for it
Such a mood 😌
Ikr
Thank you so much for inspiring me!! You genuinely are helping me improve :)
i'm so glad to hear that. 💜 keep it up!
Acrylic painting looks sooo relaxing! I think you chose a really cool picture, too. Although all those tiny details were intimidating me a lot, if I'm being honest. Don't think I'd be brave enough to try that as a beginner, haha! Good job, Rin! I admire you a lot! ♥
Recently I’ve been trying to get into painting and this honestly gave me some good tips to how to jump into it, instead of just avoiding painting at all
Amazing at painting already! Although I would have painted the background colour first and waited until dry before painting, so didn’t have to paint around everything :) looked great 👍🏻☺️🥰
I’m living for this video as someone who does acrylic paintings on the daily.
Rin, this looks incredible!!! Very inspiring. I really like what you did in the background at the end! The whole painting looks fantastic, and kudos for choosing such a detailed reference photo-I don’t think I could be that brave! Love your content 👍🏻💜😊
the people who disliked were just eating waffles and got maple syrup on their screen and clicked the wrong one :D
Waffles: *aggressively shakes paint*

This turned out BEAUTIFULLY!
i used to be so bad at drawing ive been watching you for two years! my progress is just amazing thank you so much!
I always called the blueberry's flowering end the belly button. LOL
When you’ve been painting for years and the ONE THING that actually looks good is also a meme and is nothing compared to this……
hahah look at me! :D
it’s so cool to see a big youtuber interact with fans so much!! very refreshing xP
I love it!! Kudos to you for not giving up!! You worked thru all the uncomfortable areas and kept it moving!! Very encouraging!!! In the end it’s a beautiful painting!
"I grabbed a white posca to sign my name thinking i was done"
"Here i showed the camera my drawing thinking i was done,are you sensing a theme here?"
Yes,yes i am
you should do more oil painting!! its one of my fav mediums!!
i'll stick with acrylic for now. but maybe in the future!
@@drawingwiffwaffles okay no rush!💜
hey waffles, I just want you to know that I have always loved art, and you have really inspired me! I really appreciate you, and ilysm!
Got a Posca Pen project setting within 2 feet of me. I've been afraid to start for 2 days now. The 1st 2 sentences of your description says a lot to me. Your video REALLY impresses & entertains me. Thanks.

I just started painting last year. I absolutely love it! However, I get so frustrated with getting the colors right, I am glad I am not the only one who ends up painting over stuff over and over again. Love your sense of humor and I think the waffle and berries turned out great!
Something that I learned in art school, instead of using water to dilute your paint or make it go on smoother, use an acrylic medium. The water will break down the paint (that’s why you use it to get the paint off your paintbrush). When u learned about using a medium instead of water, it was game changing
AAA ACRYLIC IS SO HARDDDD I BET YOU NAILED THISSS
I’m finally early for an artist I love ahah
eee welcome to the video!
I love this painting, the bright teal in the middle was such a good choice and I love how you faded it out!
I love everything Rin draws. They are supes cool. ❤️❤️
You are the best! I love your channel!
