List of brushes2:02
Here you can see all brushes you may need for this tutorial! Important to remember - shapes is more important then numbers.
SHAPE: each shape of brush have own, specific type of brushstroke, so if you see exact type of brush in the tutorial - don't replace it for another type of the brush.
NUMBER: numbers are optional because its depends from your experience and size of painting surface.
If you are beginner you may like switch to the smaller brush. Small brush gives better control with less effort. But...! You will need more time to complete part of tutorial witch was done with bigger brush.
If you have experience you may prefer bigger brush, because its able to cover bigger area, paint more details in one go, so its faster to paint with it. But...! Bigger brush needs control on brush pole pressure!

In this part learn what colors to choose for sunset sky! Blending with acrylic is not easy sometimes! Here can be some points: to much water in paint, too thick brushstrokes, too fast drying of acrylic paint - depends on amount of water, brand, room temperature... no enough layers... etc.
So here can be many reasons.... But for first remember - practice is key to good blending! For second - acrylic is all about layering! Pay attention not just on blending but on layering as well!
