Prof Lieu’s Tips
Painting really is something that you need guidance with. Everyone has their own way of painting, and the technical stuff can get overwhelming very fast.
No reason to try to reinvent the wheel on your own for painting techniques and supplies.
For real, discovering the silicoil brush cleaning tank changed my life! I had been painting for 6 years with oils before I found it.
