3 Ways to Blend Oil Paints Smoothly

October 20, 2017 in Oil Paintings, Studio, Tutorials, YouTube Tutorials, YouTube Videos

Welcome back to the studio folks! I'm glad to have you here! I've got three great techniques to share with you so you can achieve some really nice, realistic blends throughout your works.

A Quick Summation:

  1. Wet brush blending as you go
  2. Using a dry brush to blend your wet paint
  3. Scumbling with your dry brush on a dry painting 

Check out my snazzy new vid for details and step-by-step demos. These are really easy methods that you can incorporate today! 

Go ahead and leave me a comment on the video or here and let me know how useful you found this vid, as well as any questions or techniques you'd like me to address in the future.
