Channel: Magic Rhyno Creative
Date: 06/07/2017

Originally recorded for Facebook Live, this video explains and demonstrates some of the basic and most commonly used acrylic wash techniques on illustration board. Flat wash, gradient transitions, wet into wet, and layering basics. The board used in the demo is Crescent 215 Hot Press. In the video I give a brief synopsis of craft paint vs. artist grade paints. The pros and cons of each and what kind of performance to expect per each grade of paint. I've also covered what type of brushes I most commonly use for my illustration work. Why I use them, where to find them, and a general price range. If you've got comments, crits or questions, leave them in the comments. Subscribe for more creative badassery show-and-tell. Small segment on how I use an airbrush to navigate around the shortcomings of cheaper paint applications. For more art and other foolish nonsense please find me online at www.magicrhynocreative.com.
