Often I use hot water, which is quicker, but I may just try this cold water/long time method.

Love ur videos

Excellent explaination

I only learned after a few years myself that Red, Yellow, Blue is a compromised colour wheel because its primaries aren’t true primaries. It’s a misinterpreted version of Cyan, Magenta and Yellow (CMY) which contains the true primaries and that’s probably why Magenta fixed your purple problem :) The RYB model will always produce muddy colours because of its lack of true primaries (which aren’t pure) whereas CMY always produces vibrant colours because Cyan is the true Blue, Magenta is the true red, etc. As you’ve now seen in the example above.

Can you spray paint over a textured over an acrylic canvas that’s already been painted? I bought a textured canvas, and I don’t like the color. I want to spray paint it a metallic gold. What do I need to do before I start, so it will stick, and seal?

*Here's our NEW art school update!* We moved here at the tail end of 2023, so this is a bit of an overdue video. See what our small art school is like here on the Gold Coast, and if you're a local - come on by! 🙂Jess

Thank you for this video!! I like jt

Thank you so much , this video helped me a lot when I bought a lot of old oil paints, I’m struggling to open it , and damaged some before I found your video, I thumb up and subscribed your Chanel ❤❤❤❤

What do you do if you're background is multicolor?

What if i mixed a medium with the acrylic paint for it not dry quicker? Im having a hard time removing it with a soak. Ive only soaked it for a day at most but before i leave it for a week i was wondering if i need to do somethimg else because of the medium?

You mixed pink

I hate these paint showcases like no one ever uses this much paint it's a waste and just do mix it up with a knife and then smeared all over the place I don't care anybody says that isnt art

Hi, glad that I found this helpful video. I just ran into some trouble with glazing. I did my underpaint in acrylic and then added highlights with zinc white. Luckily I did my first try on just a test and I removed lots of the white in the areas where I put it very thin. I did mix 50/50 turpentine and linseed. Need I go more on the linseed side or what could caused that? Brush was a soft wash brush.

Ufff they all look very bad, honestly you have to blend while it is still damp, once it has dried up you can try but it will never look as good as with wet paint.

Thank you for your great tip but I don't envy you cleaning up after all them kids paint pots.

Thank you somuch! <3

Would you suggest painting with the canvas upright or horizontal. For these demos your painting surface seems to be horizontal. Does it matter?

*Knowing how to make green is simple... but knowing how to make very specific TYPES of green needs a bit of colour theory!* Today we'll chat about each type of yellow and blue, and surprisingly RED you need to make this shade of green 🙂

this is amazing!!!! thank you for saving my paints

Thank you. I realised I wasn't letting mine sit long enough.

*Is it beige? Is it pink? You decide!* Lighting can throw off hues and tones, but when mixing this leaned more into beige territory. But, it's called Pink Dust? 😂 What do you think?

Love the painting in the background.

This is so fascinating that grey is actually made with primary colours not just black and white. I never knew.

*Here's how you can easily mix a warm grey!* And hey, no black required 🙂 We use a very limited palette, because you don't need to buy lots of colours to make what you want. If you understand a little bit of colour theory, you can mix just about anything. We hope to see you again next week for the next one!

may ı ask should ı use turpentine for my new brushes before hit to oil paint?

Hi Stephen, Jess! Loved this and what a great lesson ! Exactly what I need for practising my colour mixing for my orange Dahlia! Thank you!! 👏😊🧡

*This week, Stephen teaches you how to mix this burnt orange perfectly.* Truly, it's so good you can't even see it by the end (but it's there!) We'll upload more colour mixing tutorials over the coming weeks, so look forward to it 🙂 PS: we highly recommend trying this yourself. It's the best way to learn exactly which colours you need to make just about anything. Chat soon! 😁Jess

Is that paint still reusable?

great tip thanks!!!

One question, when you want to reuse the frozen paint, do you just take it out of the freezer and thaw it?

This is very helpful! I legitimately didn't know what to do with my leftovers so I just scrape what little left of it. Unfortunately, I currently don't have those cute little containers yet so I guess I will still waste this current batch :') not next time tho!

Clean off with mineral terps? What’s Terps?

I had to break my lid to open mine but this helped a lot. Thanks man

I bought Canvas boards from Blick, and they warp like crazy! I have heard about 4 x 8 x 1/4" aluminum sheets which should work really well if sanded with a fine grit. Any thoughts on that?

Good video. Thanks. From Jacksons Art website : Refined Gum Turpentine is a colourless solvent distilled from pine sap. It is used to thin oil paint and to clean various printmaking tools of oil-based ink. It generally speeds the drying time of oil paint, and thus is especially useful for underpainting. Paints mixed with this Turpentine will dry slightly matte. Turpentine is a volatile and toxic material; please exercise due caution when using this product. Bottom line. Gum Turpentine is used for thinning oil paint, not for cleaning brushes. A local hardware store has lots of brush cleaning solvents like Clean Spirit. Though, brush manufacturer Rosemary & Co recommend only using specific brush cleaning soaps made with Olive Oil. Which I find is best to preserve some of my expensive brushes. The cheaper brushes, I use Clean Spirit or White Spirit to save money.

Thank you for this great video!

Awesome...very useful 💜 the humor 🤗

Use a water mist when using acrylics, and you’ll be fine. I painted with oils for 40 years, it’s fine but, the drying time is insanely slow! I’ve switched to acrylics, much better.

in my palette i cleaned with a sanita]izer and kleenex

Can I use acetone or toluene for cleaning oil paint buushes as an alternative to turpentine?

Thanks for sharing this informative video❤

Yay thanks. God is really punishing me for how I've treated my oil paints. Thank you.

Which dried to be more matte in your opinion?

You are a savior! Thank you!

Excellent. You convinced me to stick with oils.

WHICH reds & yellows are they??? it makes sense of course, but there are tons of warm & cool yellows & reds. One would guess maybe lemon & cadmium yellow, but colors online & the number of hues in different paints are so varied.

It worked like a charm! You just saved me a whole tube of titanium white.

This looks like a house. More like Gold Coast FART School. J/K. I love you. Keep on artin' and a farting and paintin' and a... . pshhhhh. Taintin'?

You're not only beautiful !. You are an excellent teacher w/ a specific "TASK-@-hand -in-mind to be taught.... You're very creative & I enjoy your videos ( you seem to have learned from "the master wisdom retainers")😜😇😎. YOU-ROCK !!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH ! 😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 JACK

THANK YOU !!!!
