His Silvana can't wait to see the end result. Looks good!

Hi Michael! I have no idea! I have used a bristle brush, which I know are used for oils..., but it was the size I wanted to use...!  I find all those lines left by the brush impossible to make them smoother. I think the bristle brush is quite hard. I really don't know which brushes are used for acrylic painting. I generally used some which have thinner hairs and which were named as synthetic brushes...

A synthetic brush as opposed to what Silvana?  Are you using brushes made for acrylic painting?

Thanks Laura! While using so many strange things, I was wondering if I should have used a synthetic brush!

I loved the video, very very clear,  and learnt a lot with this simple value study, even though it hasn't come out as expected...!

Used retarder medium for the first time, and sprayed for the first time too... then learnt that when one sprays, water tends to trick down!!!! ;)!!! Tried to fix it, but without much success... From far away, it seems to be a sky... I had no electricity up to 5 min ago, and it's pouring outside, so even the acrylics are taking long to dry!

Electricity is back, so I'm connected again! But acrylics are still wet. I think I'll use a hair drier, now that I can....!

Silvana, this is great. Lovely brush stroke. It will be a beautiful sunset painting.
