Painting from global to specific in layers with acrylics (01:08:57)
One of the ways to build a painting is to start with global color planes and adding more detail in new layers. With this method it's easier in the final stages to choose where you want to add more detail and where you want to keep it more loose. A downside is, that your painting doesn't make sense for a long time and it's easy to lose confidence. A lot of people stop painting in the ugly stage, but it's actually the stage where there's very little effort needed to turn your painting into something beautiful. Learning to paint in layers means accepting the ugly stage. In this video I want to show you the crucial moments and hopefully I can show you that it's just a matter of keeping the faith and continue painting.

Short vlog: palette organization (00:06:23)
I just thought it would be fun to share some thoughts/ideas on palette organization, which in my case is sort of non-existent😁 Do you organize your palette the same way every time you paint?
