@@jatinpreet8682 there's a tutorial right here, you don't need a teacher. At first you need quantity of paintings

@@jatinpreet8682 yup

omg please dont . if u want u can get some body paint (which is 100% safe) but it can be a serious issue if u do it long enough

@@belli9281 I thought acrylic paint was safe you have no idea how many times I've painted myself lmao

@@mmallowwxp i did it a couple of times as well until i read abt it, so dont worry but please do get other materials so you can still do it but in a safe way instead :)

Wait really. I didn't know it was toxic

@@supergirlgalaxy8136 yupyup, some of the ingredients and pigments can be toxic for u if ingested or absorbed through skin

Thats me right now

Same here..lol

Yeahhh Acrylic gets everyyywheree. It’s my favorite medium though tbh. I’m trying to branch out though.

Miguel Carlo Basilio i literally wipe it off on my legs oh well

Omg literally me rn 😂😂

When i am done painting i put the excess paint on my hand and play with it but now.....i knew it...

It's not so bad. I'm incredibly poor, but I've amassed a nice collection. I suspect that Lena has gotten an endorsement deal with Gamblin, which is no bad thing -- they do make pretty good stuff -- but you can go cheaper on the paints. I suggest Richeson/Shiva, a very good pro-quality paint, but easy on the budget; you can get a basic set for under $36 dollars. Student paint is all right for some colors (not all). Gamsol really is the best odorless mineral spirit; you can find 16 oz (which is plenty) for under ten bucks. The Dick Blick website has excellent prices for this stuff. Ebay has brushes for incredibly cheap prices -- as in a buck apiece. Some are pretty funky; some are surprisingly good. You can use cheap make-up brushes as blender brushes. Michaels usually has collections of cheap bristle brushes. Eventually, you'll want a couple of good round brushes for realistic work -- kolinsky sable is best. I participate in a forum for artists called Wetcanvas, and I specialize in giving advice in how to paint on the cheap. If you need specific pointers or more information, write to me.

you could also just get only the primary colors this woulf also help you understanding color mixing better

It's cheap, buying all those colors is a waste of money, because you can mix all of them. All you need are primary colors. You use them to make you secondary and tertiary colors. Buy a Red, a yellow, a blue, white, and like burn umber or something. (Never use black, it's for suckers). Rather, mix complimentary colors, so that they can neutralize one another. Red and green make a ridiculous "black". Oil kicks butt because it goes a long way. A tiny pea sized amount, mixed with medium, or thinner; then just keep moving the pigment, it goes and goes like the energizer bunny.

Stop attacking me with this 11 month old comment....

Dude me too thats why i wanted to know how to use it but like its complicated

Same here!!!

literally same😭

Just bought some today hahah

I'm new to oil painting too and it can seem complicated but let's not overthink it. I think the most important medium is the paint and the solvent, the solvent will thin the paint and more importantly clean the brushes when we are done! As for the other stuff I think that will come as we learn more of what we want, the most important thing is to just get started and have fun with it!

that’s what I use

Max dishwashing soap helps too! I think any dishwashing soap works

and linseed oil.

so i can use dish soap instead of buying a solvent?

@@Itz_Debs No, because dawn dish soap may only help clean your brushes after you have finished painting. You still can't use it to dilute the paint while painting, the way you would use water for watercolors or acrylics. You still need a solvent for that. Hope this helps :)

same😔 I’m about to bring it back

Go to Michaels. They always gave coupons and deals and can make affording painting way easier

acrylic is expensive as well with artist quality paint so...

I've just started an chose acrylic without knowing about oil painting, I love how cheap acrylic painting is tbh and online at Hobby Lobby most things are 40-50% off atm 😁

@@quayannaanderson4060 I love you

But with oil up don't even have to throw it away. Just paint over it!

Also, alcohol damages your liver, aggravates the rage centre and causes you to make regrettable calls while painting develops your mind, skills and way of looking at the world.

@@slanguagefreak2388 Great comment!🙂

I got raw cadmium pigment. Come on over and we can do a line. LOL

Caravaggio died using too much white paint. So did rest of them..

Hahah just give it a try

@@saniasheeza okay but honestly wtf are you meant to do with the paint thinner?

Halapecia shaniqua you can reuse thinner. Just leave it in a sealed jar for a few days and the pigment will sink to the bottom and you can reuse it

Acrylic and water colors are tougher, so hard to mix and dry out just in minutes

@@Shortandnerdyy Indeed! Metal coffee can (with a lid) with a screen placed in it works wonders. I spent years watching my father paint as a child, and he had the picture perfect Bob Ross paint thinner setup. Very seldom did I see him ever have to swap out his paint thinner.

Nothing good comes easy!

honestly by watching all these videos it seemed difficult to me but this year I decided to change to a painting class and its actually not as complicated as it seems trust me

masterkyle3 is the

Time consuming yes but that isn't a bad thing. What I do is paint at weekends, let it dry, come back with fresh eyes next weekend. Just make sure each layer is dry.

04nbod Hi checkout Kevinoilpainting channel...he paints alla prima...non toxic...no medium....very good

Me either! I rarely use it but I wasn't aware it was illegal to just throw it away. How inconsiderate of me 😨

Lol you're not the only one 😂

Paint thinner can also tear away at pipes.

then where can i pour it.. it seems so bothersome to contact some company probably would be really expensive

+chetinaplant thank you sweetheart! I'm so happy I could contribute positively somehow ♥♥♥

she means dangerous chemicals, otherwise she wouldn't have mentioned it.

Even air

Which is why my school is so toxic 😎😂

@@adr1luv 😂😂😂🤣🤣

+Maggie Ma that's ok! is there anything particular you are struggling with?

+Lena Danya Mostly the mediums because there's so many different types and the fat over lean part. There's so many things required to oil paint I don't know were to begin ;-;

lol

I'm interested in the answer/explanations of this too! It can be very confusing and overwhelming for a beginner to figure out what is what and how to use it.

Maggie Don’t worry about the mediums yet. Just using linseed oil and turpenoid is good enough. And with fat over lean, all you would have to remember is to paint thin layers at first and slowly make each successive layer thicker as you work.

Hi,l love ❤ you, are you married Katie?

Why the fuck would you taste oil paint

@UCathMmE8a_L0rikyt8oBUFQ big relate bro

So...what did it taste?.

@@yungjose3369 bad.

@@ondra_rx732 it tastes good

This is so sweet

same

You're already setting yourself up for failure before you even began, it's not as hard as you think it is! :] just mush paint around on the canvas and make something abstract to get a feel for the paint, don't worry so much about doing things right when you're just starting out

I started with acrylic and feel like I should have been using oils lol.. Feels more official.

@@LenaDanya You give excellent advice.

Omg same I just bought some expensive oil paint

Same

she should be a model.

@@walii777 why

I don't use paint thinner. I thin them a little with solvent free medium from Gamblin or solvent free thinner from the green for oil line from Sennelier, I use different brushes for bright and dark colors and I wipe them really well on a towel before changing color and to clean them at the end of the day I use safflower oil to take out as much paint from the brush as I can and then wash with soap and warm water. Going solvent free is a bit more expensive, but you don't inhale any toxic fumes

@@loati94 I think they mean the disposal of the used thinner

@@cinnamonbun216 Okay, my responde would be the same

It's not as bad as you think

Did you start painting in oils yet? I see this comment was 1 year ago. You can work in an impressionistic style using acrylics too.

I currently have a set of oil paints that my mother had been using. She passed away a couple of years ago. After two years I decided to give it a try. I checked the oils and they are in good shape. Oils if you keep them shut and closed from the air outside will not harden. At least in my case they came out as if they were new. Hope that helps.

try water soluble oil paints

you can get a slow-drying medium for acrylics :)

That's why I hate acrylics I tried them and I didn't like it

while technically true, its a time and material saver to have some premade pigments, and much less guess work is involved

Yas

Yes for 99% of the colors. But there's no way to get the phalo green intensity, gold/silver paints, irredesents, etc. of specialty paint. I agree best to learn the basics of mixing the 3 primaries to start. It will save you a lot of paint in the end.

and huge amount of titanium white

boi u ruining the environment

Next time try to use paper plates or so so u can recycle it and the recycling people can kindly take care of the oil and stuff on the plate hope this helps

Eventually it will harm you and your loved ones, 2, because that's the environment that you live in it. It's "full circle" effect...

nah im joking itll be fine just dont do it again

Anna Boyden are those cute people on your profile photo gerard and frank xD

Yep, pour it back into a container, and then take it to your local hazmat dump site. Every major area has one.

You can also reuse it. If you leave it in the container/mug for like a week or so it will separate, and you can just pour the clear stuff back

I'm a college student and mum professor told us to put it in the trash 🙃🙃 we gonna die

+Jonathan Kottwitz glad I could be of help! :]

+Lena Danya :)

+Lena Danya i am a bit confused, i keep mishearing what you are saying. what can't i flush down the drain? The thinner? like that gamsol thing or you are talking about something else?

brnfct yes, thinner and other mediums

including paint?

yes i agree

@@danielrios2497 You don't have to use mediums ~ all you need is paint thinner to clean brushes and to thin paint if you want (I use Gamsol because it's the safest).
