@@timpackerfinearts Hi Tim, thanks again for this video. I do have a question, as i I don't have this issue with traditional oil. I have been trying out the artisan W&N oils( Water soluble.) I noticed that when i paint in layers, the paint doesn't want to stick onto the canvas, lifting paint off that is already on it.. This makes me waste a lot of paint. Do you know why this is happening? I do dab off excess water from my brush onto a paper towel after cleaning it, so i think that part is ok. when i applied a thin layer of linseed oil, i made sure there was no dripping. it almost seems like the canvas is somehow too wet that when i do go on to add another layer of paint, it keeps lifting paint off. Will impasto solve this issue? is it the quality of the paint ? is it possible, i am not removing enough excess water as i think? Thanks a lot in advance! Sam

@@QballSam whenever you touch a wet brush to a wet canvas you will either leave paint on the canvas or pick up paint from the canvas. Usually a bit of both. If you start with thinner applications of paint and then gothicker you should be able to add paint to an area that is wet. If you want to layer applications without the risk of lifting paint then you might want to let the paint dry before adding a layer. The impasto medium will certainly help with that😊

You should be able to the same thing with a more fluid mix. I did that when I painted a lot of portraits. I’d do a burnt sienna underpainting in acrylics and then later glazes I’ve too... using the various mediums👍

@@timpackerfinearts thanks Tim :) 👍🏼

This about 3 sittings… but only because of the delays caused by filming. Usually that size would be all in one sitting for me 😊👍

I spray the paintings with Kamar varnish by Krylon

the oil allows the paint to slide on more easily...otherwise it is more like painting in dry brush

You can wash this off. The surface will be dry pretty quickly, it's the layers beneath the surface that take a long time to dry. Dust won't have time to get into any wet paint.

@@NicolasConnault o ya that makes sense, thank you so much! Can't wait to get started

Yes that was done in fluid acrylics👍

@@timpackerfinearts Awesome, I just downloaded the pdf…any chance of getting that 50% discount on the video? You’ve inspired me🙂

Here is a link to the offer www.timpackerartacademy.com/offers/L33Hx9bX/checkout

Yes 👍😊

I love them 😊👍❤️

aren't they great?

@@timpackerfinearts yes! I love them

No… I just put a thin coating of the linseed oil on the canvas before applying the oils 👍

You need to wait until it is totally dry. That’s why I use fluid acrylics to tone the canvas and block in the composition. They dry much faster.😊👍

Sorry for the delay getting back to you. If the oil is still wet you can paint into it the next day. If it dries you can reapply 😊👍

Here's his response to a similar question asked further down in the comments -- Hi Lorrie... it depends on the paints you are using , how thickly they are applied and whether or not you are using any mediums with the paints. Some colours (reds especially) take forever to dry, while some colours dry very quickly. Thick paint takes longer to cure... and some mediums (impasto medium) can drastically speed up drying time. The main thing is to make sure the paint has fully cured and dried all the way through before varnishing. You can do a touch test to determine whether or not the paint has cured. Areas of thick paint should feel firm and not soft and squishy... if in doubt you are better to give the painting a little more time before varnishing😊👍

I actually use all of them and find them all to relatively similar. Which one is better really comes down to personal preference👍

Aren’t they great😊👍 I still can’t believe most artists have never heard of them.

yes you should. be fine painting over old oil paintings with the water solubles👍

😊👍🖌

thanks

I use disposable palette paper so I just peel that off of my palette and throw it out. For the paint water I let it sit for a day and then pour the water down the drain. The paint settles to the bottom of the water jug and I wipe that up with paper towels.

@@timpackerfinearts Thanks for this info. I always wondered what to do with the dirty water because I know that the oil will back up my sink and pollute the water system.

@@cherylginsberg162 😊👍

You would have to try it out and see 👍🖌

FYI a spray bottle comes in handy with acrylics, both to keep the paint wet on the palette and the painting surface as well. Used them for twenty years never a worry for large areas.

alizarin crimson 👍

Thanks! @@timpackerfinearts

Yes the under painting is done using fluid acrylic 🎨👍🖌

I typically put a layer of the oil medium on the canvas first and paint into the wet medium. I mix impasto medium if I am going to be applying very thick strokes of paint... or just to speed the drying time (the reds can take forever to dry) I do not mix the paints with water or the oild medium 👍

Thank you very much for ur generous reply , it did cleared my confusion !!!!!

@@anklebellsartstudio2966 😊👍

Glad it was helpful!

I don't think you can get the same effects with the oils. Most of them are water miscible which means they can be cleaned with soap and water... but they are not meant to be diluted with water to paint with. You could try it out... but you might find that it weakens the oil binder and the paint layers might be. very unstable... the paint might easily come off of the canvas.

I buy pre-gessoed canvasses. I do occasionally work on wood panels... in which case I do apply 2 coats of gesso first👍🖌🎨

@@timpackerfinearts thanks so much for your reply!
