Thank you for your feedback. It sold :)

@@Sams-Original-Art well of course it would you can be the most awful horrible artist in the world if you're good enough with marketing XD... I've been a professional artist for 20 years and currently teach arts at uni, I know all too well how these things go

@@robijakus6860 Amazing, keep up the great work! Your students must love you.

@@Sams-Original-Art they really do to be completely honest with ya

Hi! I would never use tape or any of the plastic hanging hooks that attach on the wall with adhesive. Always use a artist hook and nail. It's the most secure way. It will never fall. If you have any questions please let me know.

Sorry..but this made me laugh 😂

Thank you!

Glad you like them, thank you!

Awesome, happy creating, glad you like my work :)

@@Sams-Original-Art glad u replied. I enjoy

Thank you!!

Very kind of you, thanks!

Hi! Yes I love his work! :)

Thanks very much! :)

We use a brass hook & nail for mounting artwork. You can get them anywhere. If you have any questions please let me know.

@@samsiegel4232 ohh the one where you hit the nail on an angle?

@@Briannafrancis-e9g exactly!

@@samsiegel4232 thank you :)

@@samsiegel4232one more question, how come you didn’t screw those silver “frame holders” onto the frame? Won’t the canvas fall out?

Thank you! Glad you like the clouds!

Thank you!

Cheers!

Thanks!

Loved reading that, thank you!! :)

Thank you!! :)

Hi, hope all is well! Send me an email and I can give you some pointers and recommendations! [email protected]

Thank you very much for the quick reply my friend!! Yes, will definitely take care in giving it time to dry! Usually I apply 4-5 coats of acrylic gesso only, giving a day or 2 to dry between layers. And that was exactly what I was hoping regarding the Size and Oil Grounds! I don't have any PVA size but I was fairly confident that acrylic is a good binder for the Oil! Phew, I'm glad you've helped me clear any lingering doubts about that. I haven't painted on OGs before and it was about time I did that :D Also I do have another question! Regarding a completely different acrylic painting - is it ok to paint oils on top of dried acrylic using that as kind of a base layer? Any thing I should watch out for? Cheers!!@@samsiegel4232

My pleasure!@@isanmia34

I buy these frames from Opus Art Supplies. They are called Whistler Floating Frames. If you have any questions please let me know.

The foam bumpers are to protect the wall from scratching. If you have any questions please let me know. :)

I will make longer videos!!! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Greatly appreciated! :)

Will do!!

Hi! I like to first map out the composition of the painting in only neutral tones. Black and white, or brown earthy colours. This helps simplify the process by first figuring out the shapes, shadows and light source. After that dries I then figure out the colours I want to use.

Matboard, generally made from 100% cotton rag. Cheers!

@@Sams-Original-Art thank you 🙏

I don't think there is glass, it is just framed like with a passe-partout. Excellent 👌

They are original oils on Arches Oil Paper. A specific paper that can be used with oils, otherwise you would need to prime other papers with gesso. :)

Hello! Thank you for reaching out and for showing interest in my work. I've personally never used sunflower oil. I did a quick Google search and it says "It is not recommended as Sunflower Oil interferes with drying and can be prone to color. The preferred drying oils are Cold-pressed Linseed Oil and Poppyseed Oil. These do the job while remaining clear with minimal yellowing over time." If I'm going to mix anything to the oil paint it's either Cold-pressed Linseed Oil, Liquin, or OMS (odorless mineral spirits). In terms of a varnish you can do an "oiling out' technique which is a diluted mixture of OMS and linseed oil. But for an actual varnish I use Gamvar by Gamblin. I would watch some KZfaq tutorials on both so you can see how they impact the painting. Cheers!
