In this video I talk about blending, how much time it usually takes to finish a painting and other things. I hope you’ll enjoy it!

Hi Daria. How do you manage to eliminate brush strokes from your paintings? They are so smooth and no matter if I use thin coats or not I always have brush strokes.

Hi Cyril, It’s such an interesting question because.. I in the contrary find it difficult to leave some brushstrokes, I want my paintings to be less smooth but I really have to force myself to not blend paints as much as I do now... If you do like this effect and want your paintings to be smoother, you have to use a small brush and blend the strokes, carefully, just with a tip of the brush (to not mess up the values)

Hi Darla, I'm a newbie here and a big fan of yours. U mentioned here that it will take a long time to finish a portrait. I couldn't stand 15 hours continuously, can I stop and resume? will it not affect the result once it may dried and resume again? Thank u in advance.

Hi Jaja, thank you! Yes of course. I like to work on a painting over the course of several days or even weeks
