For this painting I used Golden’s OPEN slow-drying acrylics but you can use regular acrylics just the same – you’ll just have to be a little more diligent about your edge work. Only 1 brush was used – #4 Filbert.

How to Paint A Candle-Lit Still Life – Acrylic Painting Lesson
Lovely painting. Very informative commentary also. Thank you.
What is this ? were's light?
I struggle with acrylics to the point of 2 year old temper Tantrums. I am on a very extreme budget. But you gave me 1 single most important lesson. Remember the negative spaces not try to unstuck myself on an object. I am a decent novice oil painter. I wanted to try to spread my wings. Bought stuff on top of stuff. Then my disaster happen to cause my budget to deflate so now I'm stuck with acrylics which I call my nemesis. But the point is Big lesson here remember the negative space is just as important as an object you're trying to paint and to move on. Thank you so much for that
Hello Brandon, I think this idea of staining the canvas is marvellous. Somehow as soon as I start drawing on a colored surface I feel very excited.
Nice painting Brandon. Thank u i have learned much from watching your vid.s
Brandon, I do enjoy your weekly vids, on such a variety of painting tidbits – I keep trying to use acrylic (instead of toxic oils), but haven't been able to get a good texture – I always think I'm just staining the canvas, instead of painting on it. Are the open acrylics a little 'thicker' to paint with?
Can't seem to find an answer to how to have a candle light still life set up and having the canvas well lit at the same time.. Any suggestions? Really want to try to paint something lit by candle.
A very useful lesson, What type of easel are you using ?
B, you're even teaching me patience, just watching you work this painting. Love the video! Loved the working of the piece and the finished painting! Thanks!
I enjoyed seeing your technique in blending color. You mentioned open acrylics; I'm wondering if this acrylic paint retarder would get the same results as to keeping the paint wet longer. I have so/too many tubes of paint I really don't want to invest in more paint. I'm one of those that impulse buys and tries about anything I read or see..so I'm sure you understand..thanks for sharing your talent with us.
what kind of camera do you use to film
Wow, looks amazing!
awesome video. took me awhile. but it was nice quality. seems alot of people like these videos. i just like everything. haha, i enjoyd that and learnd a couple things, thanks for sharing 🙂
Here is a question about the Open Acrylics. You seem very economical in how much paint you use and I am wondering if using the open acrylics lets you use less paint since it stays workable longer and you have less layering, or any other observations about using them. Thanks.
Thanks for this. I can't believe you even tackled this, but not only did it come out great, the video is full of great tips and advice.
Great Brandon, enjoying following your painting process! I have learned so mutch from you, could never dream about selling paintings thank you for all of your time!:)
Yay! Nice to see this kind of video again! =)
Nice stuff Brandon. Really good vid in many areas.
