The Bold No Blending Acrylic Painting Technique

Learn how to paint without blending! In this demo, I’ll show you how to build a complete acrylic painting using only flat shapes of color. Acrylics are perfect for this technique because they dry quickly and make it easy to create crisp, hard edges. The no blending approach is like a paint by numbers. It's a great way to train your eye to see values and colors more accurately. 🎬 CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 00:13 Painting in the black solid shapes 01:30 Free reference photo 01:59 The acrylics that I'm using 02:34 Simplyfing photo with photo editing software 03:20 Painting the handle 05:19 Painting in the blue background 06:07 Painting in the white background section 06:55 Painting the shadow of the mug 07:54 Using acrylic markers for drawing 09:05 Crucial part of the no blending technique 09:32 Mixing colors for this demo 11:09 Spray bottles for keeping paint wet 12:20 Why acrylics dry darker 12:42 A tip for remixing colors 13:14 Finishing touches & final painting 🎬 RELATED VIDEOS    • How to Paint the Illusion of Transparent G...      • How to Mix Green: A Complete Guide for Art...      • 5 Color Mixing Tips for Beginners      • How to Blend Acrylics Like Oils      • How to Blend Student Acrylics Like Oils      • How I Sketch on Canvas Without Worrying Ab...   🖌️ REFERENCE PHOTO You can download the reference photos for my in-depth tutorials by signing up for my FREE email newsletter.
