Safflower Oil is good for use as liquid clear. It is very clear and most importantly it dries very very very slow which is key for alla prima (wet in wet). It can stay open for weeks. Also, you use a slow drying medium for use as liquid clear for using in alla prima. You can make some easily by 10 parts odourless mineral spirits (any artist-grade odourless mineral spirits will do) 5 parts stand oil or linseed stand oil (this is viscous like honey and is not the same as refined linseed oil) 1 part refined linseed oil 5 parts Venice turpentine * 2 parts oil of cloves †

I use Safflower Oil for mixing up my white oil paints, as it's less prone to yellowing than linseed oil. Might also be good for liquid clear for that reason as well.

Thanks for the info. Like most artists, I too have always wondered what made Bob Ross's liquid base coat so special! Apart from it being crucial for his painting technique, it beats me why anyone would want to slow down the drying time of oils, lol! That and the curing time of months are the main reasons I don't use oils, much as I would love to. They look so nice n lush to paint with! Maybe one day..

@WildCreates 5 ай бұрын

Glad to help you out. Instead of thinking out it slowing down... think as it in terms of longer time to work with. And that's the main reason many choose oil. You can also speed up the dry time too with certain mediums... so maybe try those IF you give it a go 💪

Liquid clear does yellow over time. I used it in a blue sky 18 years ago and the sky is now somewhat green. It’s not drastic. Looks like it might have been on purpose but it wasn’t. The problem is that the rest of the painting had liquid white (which also sort of yellows but seemingly not as much) and the greenish-blue of the sky is nowhere else. So the painting isn’t really tied together. If that makes sense.

Before Xmas I bought Bob Ross kit, plus extra brushes ,extra white and the assortments value pack which containts small amount of liquid white and black ! guess it w'ont last very long, I was wondering how can we make Liquid white ? mixing white paint with the liquid clear? I hope you give me the secret cause it cost me a fortune in materials in the past 03 months! and I keep buying and buying!!!! Always something missing lol! I'm glad I falled in Love with Bob Ross for his beautiful spirit and the messages he was teaching people,but I find it so sad how people are takin advantage of his name to sell his products at overbearing prices! for Canada. So many people out there need to discover him , so keep -up the Great work with your videos ! Like Bob Ross said if you do things for the right reasons it will work out to your advantage!

Sadly I dont know the answer to that. You would have to see if the chemical make-up would or could have a reverse reaction with the paints and mediums. I would say do a little bit of research then test on a spare art piece. From there you can refine down to what will work. If you find anything interesting or cool. Keep me informed.

Junk towels will be your best friend - Buy a butt ton of them at goodwill (Super cheap). Use them as floor coverings. When you paint certain sections that may be more messy ( like adding on liquid white ) just be more aware of it and you can adjust the splatter. You can also use one of the junk towels as a make-shift hand guard. Just hold a junk towel in your spare hand and hold it near the rails of your canvas. This will help catch some splatter too. You will learn to splatter less the more you do it too :) Hope that helps

I bought some Linseed Oil because I ran out of Bob Ross Liquid Clear (finally, a small bottle lasted a year). One thing I noticed on the bottle it has a lot of warnings and disposal requirements that the Bob Ross bottle does not. Stuff about it can spontaneous combust with your rags and other painting tools. To dispose of rags immediately into a sealed water filled metal container. Maybe Bob Ross liquid Clear will not burn your house down if you throw a rag into the trash? Great Video Wild Creates!

@WildCreates 3 жыл бұрын

Pretty much all mediums are flammable to some degree BUT linseed oil is a special little beast for sure. It says it can combust (which it totally can in the right conditions). However, I tried to make mine combust (cause I was super interested to see if it was true), I couldn't make it happen. I think it needs most of the stars to align to make this happen. If you are smart and use/store it the right way, you will be fine to use this product. But still good note to let everyone know :)

So its a long subject that you will have to research on your own BUT YES oil painting, mediums and thinners may be harmful to your health IF you do things wrong. Some materials may have VOCs which can be in things like paints, thinners and mediums. Painting is A LOT safer now compared to 20 years ago because many manufactures have removed or reduced the VOCs. Good for use and the environment. You will be fine provided you don't eat or drink any of your supplies, paint in a well ventilated room, and its not necessary but reduce the contact with paint on your skin (which is why I wear gloves). I hope that helps.

This question is a little off topic but do you ever use Liquin Impasto? I bought some and it is strange stuff. Still trying to figure out how best to use it. It dries really fast but is supposed to leave a nice sheen/gloss to the paint when it dries it. But is it best to use at the end of the painting, like to go over the strokes with it, or should it be used in the course of the painting even though retouches will be made, or should it be used at all? Not liking how it dries the paint when added to it but do kind of like the sheen it leaves. Just curious if you've used this stuff. My paintings look dull in a few days and because they take me several days to finish, I'm having to retouch them throughout the course of completing them to get them to look bright and shiny again. Or is it ok to let the colors get dull and then just varnish it at the end? Will a final varnish restore the original luster? And last question (promise) what do you think of retouching varnish? So many questions, but not sure what to do about thie dullness issue. Thank you :) :)

@WildCreates 2 жыл бұрын

So much ha ha ha... I use impasto but never really for my landscapes. Impasto generally used to thicken paint allowing it to hold brush stokes creating texture on the canvas. If you are just starting out with painting It can be difficult to use. If I were you, I would: 1) Find a higher quality paint that has more pigment in it ( that will naturally give you more color and pop). 2) Varnish your paintings when they are dry (this will increase their saturation and add a sheen or gloss look to it. RE-touch varnish is tough for new painters... I am a fan of spray cans for newbies... which you can see here ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o8CWjZSHnc2Whnk.html ) Hope that helped a little

Hey I seem to have stumbled to the oil paint side of youtube somehow now I'm invested in this. On the sds of liquid clear it says it's 75% linseed oil and 25% aliphatic hydrocarbon (ex: ethane, methane, propane, octane, hexane). It didn't give specifics but I was looking at the hmis of 2, I couldn't find one however hexane is a more common solvent and is an aliphatic hydrocarbon.

That is actually really smart to look at the SDS. However when I checked on it I found different results. Can you link to the one that shows yours? Thanks for going down that rabbit hole to help look 💪

@melanie-rosannastevens7861 2 жыл бұрын

Very interesting! The aliphatic hydrocarbon they used is probably a wax or paraffin, don't you think?🤔 The viscosity of liquid clear is too high to just be a mixture of linseed oil and hexane, I believe. If I were to try and recreate liquid clear, I'd probably mix linseed oil and viscous paraffin, or even petrolatum and maybe some cera microcristallina or sth..

I thought spraying your painting with Damar prevented yellowing?

@WildCreates 3 жыл бұрын

Natural resins, dammar and mastic, have been widely used as varnishes on paintings for many centuries. Unfortunately, these varnishes are not stable, and oxidize and yellow with time. Yellowing obscures a painting and can considerably change its appearance. As a consequence, varnishes have to be removed and replaced rather often, a harsh treatment that can damage the painting. It is therefore desirable to find ways to improve the performance of varnishes with respect to oxidation and, especially, yellowing. This would reduce the number of times varnish must be replaced, and protect art works from damage resulting from varnishing.
