Description:
The paper I am stretching in this video is Stonehenge Oil Paper from Legion Paper. I use it mainly from my alla prima paintings and also for colored pencil drawing. This same process can be used for all sorts of paper- I personally use Stonehenge printmaking paper for my drawings- all stretched this way.
Coming soon to my Patreon page is a lesson on alla prima painting using this paper to paint on.
You can find links to all the materials I used in this video here:

Btw- this isn't any kind of paid product placement I just really like this stuff and the company as well. As far as I can see they really keep the end user (artists) in mind.

I bought some Stonehenge paper as a cheaper option to panels after getting frustrated with canvas paper. During the initial block in my brain kept saying “nope…this ain’t it” the whole time. This video has convinced me to try again.

I love that "A little bit tough to block in, but really easy to finish." So much truth in a single statement!

I found these small pads of watercolor paper, 300 weight, that I used for smaller oil paintings for practice and color studies, whatnot. It helped me get confidence to use more paint because of the absorbancy of the paper, mixing and matching colors because of needing to use more paint; as well as expressiveness in brush strokes. I had the confidence to experiment because they were small and cheap. I wasn't as invested as I would have been with canvas and feeling like I needed to paint a professional quality finished piece every time. Would highly recommend. I found a 3-pack of 6x9in 90 sheet pads that were less than $20.

Thank you for this video! Just wondering, if you keep the drawing stretched on the panel for framing, do you plan to have it under glass? If not how do you protect the drawing? Looking for a way to frame drawings without necessarily having to be behind glass. Thanks! 🙏

@stephenbaumanartwork Жыл бұрын

I have kept the paper on panel and had it framed behind glass as well. No solution I've seen yet to frame drawings without glass.

Hello Stephen! I am an amateur, especially in oil. A lot of the critiques I've had is that I do get the form and the color close enough to get the liking of the photo/reference. However, my paintings don't look like it's done by a professional. I was wondering what makes a painting sort of fully-furnished in a way, specifically in portraits. Or for you, what makes up a "finished" painting? I found out about you through your videos in Proko, and clips in instagram. Your videos have been a lot of help in making oil painting easier to understand. Hope to see more in the future! Thanks!

@stephenbaumanartwork 2 жыл бұрын

Finished in this case usually refers to "confidently" painted in your style. Early on, with less experience, it is difficult to show this confidence. Comes with TONS of practice.

Will this work on any Stonehenge paper? I primarily work with graphite + charcoal and would love to try this with the standard cream Stonehenge (i.e. not oil) paper -- will this amount of water be harmful? Thank you!

I’m hoping it will work with the pearl grey Stonehenge paper as well 🤔

Yes it will work. Just to be sure- if you want to paint on it you will have to use oil-paper. But for drawing, yes- you can stretch it this way. I do it all of the time.

@@Zimbertica hi goshops, I want to try with heavy watercolour paper since I don't do watercolour anymore, but how does oil paint react without any gesso ? would you paint alla prima only or can also try indirect painting? Also, does the oil paint would be more fluid on the paper if I start with a wash or turpentine? sorry for all these questions, would love to hear your feedbacks. (I hate when the oil paint pigment is a bit "scratchy" on the canvas/surface, and I don't really like to add solvents that's why)

@Zimbertica Жыл бұрын

@@dystopiaproject I don't have any that are years old so I'm not sure how they stand the test of time. But I don't prime the paper with anything. I thin the paint to the consistency of milk with odor free thinner or linseed oil. I also add a little liquin original to help it dry a little faster. I've had no problems working in multiple thin layers that dry in between. I haven't had any issues with the paper curling or warping or otherwise falling apart. I haven't tried thick impasto but I'd imagine 300g weight paper would hold up.

@@Zimbertica thank you for your answer, really much appreciated 🙏 I hate gesso so it’s seem very good to me. I’m gonna follow your process! Thank you for these feedbacks 😇
