How does this not have more views? Extremely helpful, thank you!!!

Is flow aid the same as gel medium?

really great clear concise explanation thank you!

Great information but your jump cuts are killing me!

Thank you. Useful.

Or you could just use water soluble oil paint for your underpaintng ;)

Beautiful.❤

Lovely.❤

Thank you very much for this information.❤

This looks really nice. You did a great job on the cat. She is adorable. I just started painting a few months ago so I've been watching videos to get tips. Any plans on doing anymore videos?

Thank you so much for this simple yet brilliant tutorial! <3

Thank you very much indeed.

❤

Nice tutorial thanks 🙏

Great video. I use an acrylic underpainting as well, and I like to apply a coat or two of clear gesso on top of the underpainting to add more tooth and increase the mechanical bond between the oil and acrylic.

Where’s the oil painting? 🥰🥰🥰

Why are not used big brush

What is flow aid

You cover the background with an off-tone so that you can see the actual colours you paint over it and how they interact with other colours. Your eye picks it up differently. The old masters also did this to create a rich depth.

so easy and simple

Wow! Bravo!!!

I came across your video. I had enjoyed very much. What flo aid did you use. Thanks.

Thanks for showing this. Learned some new things and have more to think about now

Ugh! Thank you so freaking much! This video has answered all the questions I had, and then some.

What if I don't have flow aid.? Can I just use water?

Thank you I have a project I am to spend to two weeks on and this has been incredibly helpful. It was helpful to see the stages

The first time I did a thin wash of acrylic underpainting for an oil painting on top, I thinned the acrylic with too much water. That resulted in the acrylic paint not having enough binder to adhere to the canvas. So it sat underneath my oil painting, and flaked off the canvas, taking the upper layer of oil with it. So folks need to read up on the maximum percentage of water one can mix with acrylics in order to still have enough binder left in the paint so it will adhere to the canvas. I'm just trying to be helpful, because I wasted over 40 hours on one of the best oil paintings I ever did before the paint started cracking and peeling off the canvas. Yes. I cried a lot.

Thank you

Great demo-- very helpful!!

Thank you so much. Good lesson!

Great series. Thank you so much for sharing!

I'm sorry but I couldn't listen anymore after the 4th or 5th time seeing the holding breath while swallowing and sucking teeth, it became very annoying.

I did not get my answer

Can i use water mixable oils for the underpainting or regular oils with medium w to make it water mixable and dilute the paint with water rather than solvent?

When using cool underpainting or warm ?

Thank you

What brand flow aid do you use? Thanks for the great video! I'm learning about undertone

So beautiful!! I actually learned some very important things for me!

Best alternative is the citrus based solvents. Just use that and do oils the way you've always done them.

This was super helpful! Ty for making this 💞

Awesome to see your process!

This is one of the best explanations we've encountered of how and why artists would reduce or eliminate traditional solvents from the studio. The explanation of "fat over lean" was excellent, and we think the suggestion for doing the initial wash in acrylics is a great, practical solution that many artists could use. Lots of great advice!

Wow! I have to say that your painting is unbelieveable! I actually prefer it to the photo. You are so talented. Thank you for sharing!

Excellent! The best coverage of the subject I've ever come across. I do have one question: since you mention "laying out the colors," do you use several different colors in acrylics to plan out the painting, as you used to do when you used solvents plus oil pigment during the underpainting stage? I have done only monochromatric underpaintings.... Many thanks.

So helpful. Thank you for so generously sharing your process🙏🏻

Kari… once you go into oil how do you manage the layers … do you glaze do you have a paint layer then another layer with a fat medium?

You gave some great tips and the final painting is beautiful 😍

So pretty!

You are very beautiful and would make a perfect model for a classical painting.

This was incredibly helpful and I appreciate your informative video. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience for noobs like me :)
