In this tutorial I explain my process for colour selection & mixing; I hope you take something away from it.

Thanks Colley! I’ve read these tips from you in the past. It’s nice to see them in action! When I do oils I’ve always used paper towels but I think I will try the cloth rag next time.

You can get rags from Costco, The Home Depot & thrift stores; really an awesome little tool.

Just a safety tip. Maybe Colley mentions it but i have not yet had time to watch the full video. Be very careful with drying oil on rags. They can combust. I put mine in water and seal it for disposal. Better safe than sorry.

Thankyou! this has been one of the most informative videos i have seen about all the aspects that get overlooked. Anyone can match a colour but the tips about the amount of paint and medium will change my practice.🙏

Mixing colours with a palette knife is also a great way to keep your colours really pure, as the knife is so easy to clean.

In my own experience I’ve found a brush ultimately the best approach, a palette knife doesn’t quite have the same sensitivity in my opinion; as I used a knife for my first six years.

Some handy tips, thanks. May I offer a tip of my own? Try wiping your palette clean with a wet wipe from Woolies or Coles. The alcohol content in them cleans it really well. Not trying to teach an old dog new tricks though LOL Cheers. Graham

Less of the camera on you. Keep it on the painting while you are commenting. We want to watch more of how you paint. Very impressive.

Thanks for the tips Colley. Interested in your palette colour layout. Normally I would group the reds and other colours together . What is the reason you have chosen this sequence of colours on your palette?

I'm a little confused as to how he dispenses with turpentine and goes to the right color just by wiping the brush. Explain it to me, please.

@colleywhissonartist 8 ай бұрын
Firstly I do not use turpentine or any other solvent until the end of my painting day. I’m dipping into my Lean Archival Oils Medium to flush out the last little bit of paint. Thanks for watching.

Do I understand correctly-you wipe your brush off with a cotton cloth instead of rinsing in a container of mineral spirits? This would save me a lot of time and effort.

I only clean at the end with spirits at the end of my painting day, otherwise I use rags on my brushes at the easel.

I can tell you know youre stuff but i feel you are trying to cover too much ground in one go?. Im trying to piece together all your info but perhaps you could slow down and just explain one thing thoroughly. You have so much skill and insight to share! Sorry but trying to be constructive. Also I can't seem to find the medium for sale to try. Is Sansodol by W&N the same kind of thing?
@colleywhissonartist
@colleywhissonartist 5 ай бұрын
Hi Paul, sorry for the late reply. We’re planning to launch a Patreon later in the year which will go deeper into these topics. In regards to your other question, I believe Sansodor is more like an odourless turpentine; I would recommend either Archival Lean Medium or Galkyd Oil Painting Medium.

I usually get a lot of tips from your videos, but this one is not one of them. You didn't demonstrate mixing paint to match the color on your easel. Not very helpful. Sorry, but this didn't work.
