I thought we all did.

Ron Bianca Myatt, sorry to correct your typo, but I do agree with you.

Agreed. But given all that, I rather like Edna's painting.

@@renzo6490 she did a good job. Just not a good job of copying the style.

I do the same.

+Tyson L Haha I felt the same way...I was like "Harry? Is that you?"

RedSoxKal I must say I did feel the same way. Edna was rebelling against the teacher rather than working with him.

@@hadi2397 Some people don't get that limiting yourself can lead to more creativity.

@@thomervin7450 Indeed I agree

Now that you mention it, 7 yrs ago anyway lol, it is a bit annoying to hear the same tune over and over

@@maggs131 mind numbing, couldn't they afford another hour for the composer to come up with another tune? Lol (1 year later)

I'm sad to hear that. During all those years, did you think that you had failed?

@@justsomeone5936You mean the 'A' level? Yes and no, I was told by my art teacher that I had a very unusual understanding of light and shade, and I should go into 'Graphics at art college but my mother absolutely refused to permit it. You see we lived about 100 miles from any decent college and the best one...the one to which I was forced to go, to study math., chemistry and physics (my very worst subjects) was 300 miles away in London, and I needed lodgings....and it was my parents who paid for those lodgings. I was trapped. Of course I should have simply completely split with my parents and found work evenings and weekends and completed a graphics course. Anyway, that is all a long, long time ago. I still paint and I still create 'clever stuff' for my own entertainment. Nice of you to ask, thank you.

Don't aspire to that as an example. Go to a classical Atelier and learn properly.

Sadly a classical Atelier is beyond the reach of most, as are the time constraints to learn properly. This gives a flavour of the great artists techniques and the reason for their approach. It encourages experimentation and enhances the joy of the process.

Yes she has little takent but used it in a remarkable way, her image almost looked likeca picasso

why, out of interest?

I always do as well, or my Tshirt.

and the older people often tend to be overconfident about their abilities.

Black Fish He did a great job in Band of Brothers. I enjoyed that charactet

This is the same Rick Warden, the actor, who played Lt. Welsh in Band of Brothers.

no he used house paints for Monet

Looks like Daler Rowney acrylics, unsure of which series.

lol...observant and funny...lol

once the oil is totally dry its absolutely fine...

@@BowerBomB - It’s not a good idea to add a layer of acrylic over a layer of oil paint that’s still curing. The acrylic binder is a type of plastic so you’re adding a layer of plastic on top of oil paint that’s still drying. While acrylic paint doesn’t form a perfect seal, it’s still an extra layer that may interfere with how the oil paint cures. There’s a range of opinions about how long it takes oil paints to dry. I think that’s because there’s a difference between paint that’s dry to the touch and paint that’s fully cured. According to The Smithsonian, oil paints are in a state of change for many years after they’re dry to the touch: “Beyond drying to the touch, (oil) paints are still very active chemically and the polymerization process that starts with the uptake of oxygen will still be active for years afterward, and even affect the physical properties of paint decades after the paint film was applied. Both the chemical and physical processes in paints go on for many years.”The Smithsonian’s Museum Conservation Institute Painting Acrylic over Oils Violates the Fat over Lean Principle The “Fat over lean” principle that oil painters follow is built upon the idea that paint should dry from the bottom up. In other words, the layers of paint closest to the canvas should dry first so that it provides a solid foundation for each additional layer. Acrylic paint will dry long before the oil paints. So if you were to paint acrylics over oils, the acrylics will cure long before the layer of oil paint underneath. This is a violation of the fat over lean principle. The reason why this is important is that you don’t want the surface you’re painting on to shift or move after the top layer is dry. Any movement in the layers underneath can cause problems in the top layers of dry paint.

+ 1 quite correct

Your red will go muddy brown by adding green if you aren’t very exact. Black, in very small proportion will simply tone the red down. You can create an umbra with tiny increments of black to the same intense red, and not risk brown.🖤🇨🇦
