The humbleness and the kindness used to share your knowledge and utmost talent is an inspiration all on its own. I’ve always been amazed and in awe of oil painter’s, you are correct in saying it is intimidating and seems to be one of the most complicated mediums. Yet it’s rich and beautiful and I simply love to see it manipulated into beautiful expression. So thank you for the inspiration.

Playing accurately slowly will allow one to eventually play accurately and fast! Incredible how this kind of thing applies to so many different fields. Breaking everything down into little bite sizes and then mastering those makes everything achievable. Much love!

When I studied oil painting in college, I used to do a wash on blank canvas, then make a pencil or charcoal sketch over it after it dried. 🙂 But then, you can't wipe off some of the wash in the lighter areas. So there's that... Thank you for this tutorial. It's extremely insightful -- I had no idea that the basis for all flesh tones comes down to various ratios of ivory black, white, and burnt sienna! Amazing

Most beginners, well I, had never used straight pigment before. It was a frustrating struggle. Once I added some linseed i was happier with the result. Thank you so much for your sharing of knowledge. Much respect for your outrageous talent. Thanks for making it look easy. Keeps me trying.

It helps to steady the hand and use of it keeps him from touching the wet paint on the painting. It’s like when you lay your arm and hand down on the surface when you draw.

This one aspect of painting with oils has literally stifled me, but I've been learning more about it so I think I can spend the money for supplies and take the leap!💪🏻😎✌🏻 I'm not worried about how bad I paint, I just call it "abstract"!🤪 I will learn in time so I'll have fun on the journey! I'm excited, and I have done a few "abstracts" (in acrylic) by accident mostly that I was really quite impressed with and more often than not laughed at what I created!

Could you shed any light on “oiling out” when you aren’t utilizing alla prima? Do you wipe your portrait down with a thin layer of linseed oil or medium before continuing with the second/third session ect…?? If you do, does each session need more oil than the last for oiling out or just the same thin layer each time and just rely on adding more oil to your pigment ( in respect to fat over lean)? Thanks
@FlorentFargesarts Жыл бұрын
Hi, I have a video about oiling out on my channel titled "How a varnishing mistake almost ruined one of my paintings", basically with layers, I oil out with whatver medium was used last on the surface, so it does follow the fat over lean rule and goes fatter every time.

Look up fat over lean, if you dilute the paint with some type of thinner like turpentine, it’ll dry faster, if you used it right out of the tube it’ll take months to dry… that’s why oil painting is easier to work with, if a week later you don’t like it, it’s still wet enough to scrape it off…

It cheapens the look of a painting..burnt umber and cobalt blue, leaning more towards one or the other or many other combinations work without degrading the color around it. Look at ths classics.

The problem is always the same with these KZfaq teachers. Everything they say is based on their own experience. Housewives imagine they can explain to someone how to paint with.... painting. Others claim that this is how Carravaggio painted, even though they have never seen an original Carravaggio. And so on. This artist is probably an example of how to paint absolutely boring photos - just as boring.
