You are extraordinarily talented! I was wondering how you get such smooth shading and hue changes and whatnot. I find it very difficult given that it's acrylic and dries quickly AND it's being painted on fabric.

Thank you, I will try my best to explain but its hard without showing you in person.
I find you can still blend acrylic paint over the top of dry acrylic paint, so long as you don't layer the paint on too thick to begin with and you mix your colours on your pallet before applying them. just keep blending the lighter colours over the darker colours and the darker colours over the lighter colours and eventually you get a nice fade in fade out effect. Once you have that blend going on you can paint some solid black into the dark areas and some bright colour into the light areas just to give it more dimension.
Hope that made sense its quite hard to explain without sounding obvious.

I think I understand what you mean! It just takes a lot of layers to blend colors out. That's how it was in my experience so far, so I suppose I'll just get better at making the blend look smooth as I do it more. If only we could take our favorite properties from every medium! I'd love to have watercolor's blendability xD!

Hahaha I find it only takes familiarizing yourself with the properties lol! Kind of like when I got my first full-keyboard cellphone... it was soooo frustrating to type on that. But now I'm super speedy. Same concept with watercolors and anything else haha! I've always wanted to try oils too! I suppose for as far as blend-ability goes, oil is probably the most forgiving and manipulable.

oils seem very time consuming tho!! saying that i thought acrylic was time consuming when i started, you get faster the more you do don't you!

Oils are very time consuming, true! Also because they take forever to dry!
