@renascence hello girl, I'm an artist too but in pencil, it has always caught my attention and paint and when I see works as inspiring as yours, much more, I would like to know what you use so that the painting has more fluency

ahh and congratulations for such a beautiful picture, if you can go through my blog to see my drawings
Thank you so much! : ) Wow, you're very talented. I was the same way, I only drew with pencils and then started colored pencils. My pencil sketches weren't near as nice as yours honestly. I have always wanted to paint but every attempt turned out horrible and fortinutely I found many great tutorials on youtube to give me guidance.
I'm not sure what you mean about fluency, but some good advice is just keep layering. Start with the background first and work your way to forward. Once one layer is dry put down another one. Start with dark colors first and then add the lighter colors. There's also a few ways to blend acrylic paint, blending colors lightly when they're still wet really helps, and then using washes.
A wash is just watered down paint, or, paint mixed with a gloss or matte medium will make it more transparent so that you can add light layers of color. Some painters do their painting in grey scale, with just black and white, and then add the color on top with washes. And of course practice practice, not all my paintings have turned out very nice, it's all still a journey of learning.
Maybe down the road I can do some posts to share the knowledge I have acquired the last couple of years. Thank you so much for looking at my painting I will check your work out more also : )
excellent there you answered my doubts, because what I wanted to know was how you diluted the painting to achieve smoother strokes, and in addition to that you gave me advice that I will take into account, I will be present in your art post! I hope soon to make an art with colored pencils to share it! By the way, could you help me with your vote in my curator contest?

Oh that's great! Yea, and also, I'm still learning how to dilute the paint and work with mediums, that's been a learning process all it's own haha. Yes, I'll have to share some of my colored pencil works, I have some tricks on how to blend those as well.
all the tricks that can be painted and shared will be excellent
