  1. Such great advice. I started using acrylics a few years ago for paint pouring. We use a lot of medium. It varies from half to 2/3 of medium to paint. It's very fluid art. How much medium would be good for painting animals or objects?

  2. “I love your videos — they’ve been really helpful! I tried painting a lion in acrylic for the first time. I got my dark, medium, and light value bases in, but then I wasn’t sure what colors to glaze on top for the fur. When you’re finishing, is the very last color you put on all the values white and then glaze over with the related value? Thank you — I’m really learning a lot from your tutorials!”
