Very helpful.
Have you tried Interactive Acrylics?

Hi Warren,

Thank you for your comment. Yes, I sometimes use interactive or open acrylics. I personally like the fast drying time, but some students who are taking my online lessons wanted some further information on blending a sky quickly with regular acrylics. Open acrylics are helpful in blending due to the slower drying times, I have also suggested this in previous videos.

The only thing that I don't like about them, is they can sometimes get a little gummy if you start adding paint over them when they are partially dry. Other than that they are great! Thank you for your comments!

You're a natural at this. There's absolutely no hestitation in your voice, and it tanslates to your brushes. Plus the tone of voice you have would make you a shoe-in for a PBS type art instruction program.....the next Bob Ross (only without the afro)....carry-on Tim, carry-on!!!
