This is exactly what people who are trying to learn painting online need: someone to actually demonstrate the type of basic knowledge that many other instructors just take for granted. People like me, who have never taken an art class ever, have a genuine need for exactly this sort of content (the kind that generally gets ignored because it’s so basic.) Thank you for making this video series.

Just sitting down now to follow your guidance on brushstrokes. I’ll work through my brushes as you suggest, as I can’t get them to do what yours do 😂. Anyway, I painted some cherries this morning, and I remembered to follow the shape of the cherry with the brush as you recommended to me a couple of days ago, and then: how fortuitous that yesterday you warned of the dangers of the halo effect, so I was able to avoid that trap completely!! Ha! I’m learning so much from you, thank you a million times. X

First time I put any paint down as practise. It's so much easier to experiment when not trying to do a painting. Also realized I can mess around with color combinations while doing this.

Diane I’m looking for tips on what type of brush to use when blocking in ? Not so much the size but what type of hair? synthetic, bristled , hog hair ???? I am using a slow dry medium also. With no turp . It’s a struggle. And when I add tip outs to thin. it seems like the synthetic brush is smoothing it out the easiest though. what do you recommend?
@IntheStudioArtInstruction3 жыл бұрын
Allen, different artists prefer different brushes for blocking in. For larger pieces I prefer a softer hog bristle filbert or flat, the larger the better. Frankly, if you're not using the layering method, you might do better to ditch the medium altogether and instead condition the canvas before beginning. See Quick Tip 309.
@allenvoss79773 жыл бұрын
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction in regards to the blocking in. I want this dry time to be fast . so I put a fast dry medium and work in some turp also. I’m not putting nearly as much turp in now and it’s working really well now. My question is , once the blocking in is dry to touch I am using linseed for the remainder of the painting , and towards the very end just straight paint . working thin to fat . Do you think this is a good system ? and is the linseed oil a good idea to keep the painting from cracking down the road since I’m not painting wet on wet? I feel that once my blocking in as accomplished the rest of what I do is balance and the detail in that paint can stay wet as long as it wants to be wet it’s getting past that block in stage. And another question , when you’re waiting for the block in to dry is it a good idea to start a new painting?

@IntheStudioArtInstruction2 жыл бұрын
Cynthia, it's because the shoulder is more closely connected to the rest of the body. The more of the body that makes the painting, the more alive the painting can be. It's much more than just a finger/wrist thing.

By the way, I’m using acrylic paint on paper rather than canvas. Is there anything different about painting on paper? Also, I haven’t invested in all these strange sounding mediums yet, tho I see you have a Quick Tip on them too. So do you think my painting will suffer due to a lack of medium? Other than water of course.
@IntheStudioArtInstructionАй бұрын
I rarely us a medium with oils. Acrylic and oils work very much the same with the exception that acrylic dries much faster. That can be controlled with mastering using fine mists of water on the painting and on the palette. If you are using acrylic on unprimed paper, the water in the acrylic will soak into the paper causing the paint to dry much faster. If you prime the paper with acrylic gesso, you eliminate that problem. Don't worry about using all those fancy mediums. Just learn how to control the paint.
