Thanks for the tutorial. I did this for awhile and works great. I saw another video where the artist, instead of a burnisher tool to trace on to paper, used a bone knife and scraped the drawing gently. I tried this and find I don't get the accidental indents on my paper and the transfer is light depending on the pencil used.

@@CrystalBesharaArtist i mean the whole piece since it's wood instead of the usual canvas. I bought a big one yesterday(1/2 inch thick) and cut it to smaller pieces. But even the 12" by 24" feels heavy. I'm not sure if potential buyers would like it. 🥹

Thanks for your video. I use water mixable oil, and clean my brushes with water. Is there anyway I can separate the oil paint from the dirty water ?, If I leave the mix even for days the paint does not sink to the bottom. I can't throw away the dirty water to the environment also since it contains the oil paint.

i'm sorry, but I don't see any gray. I see toned down colors, but none of them grey. That may be my fault because I'm grey/green colorblind. Many times I can't tell grey from tan or green. But to my eye, NONE of these appear grey to me. One appears to Payne's grey, one appears to be dark purple and one appears to be shades of brown. NONE of them, to my eye, are grey.
@CrystalBesharaArtist18 күн бұрын
If you want a predictable grey, you can use black and white. This video is specifically for creating DYNAMIC greys. Meaning a range of blues, felt browns, violets…. All of which are found in nature and in shadows as illustrated in the painting as seen in the first 30 seconds. You don’t have to use any advice as seen here.

It depends on the brand but many archivists indicate “The modern pigment is lightfast, except when mixed with an abundance of white.” Which of course as a purist most don’t use white. That said you can use WINSOR BLUE if you’re concerned - however I’ve looked back at paintings of mine that are over 30 years old and nothing has changed. Hope this helps !

This was so helpful! Thank you so much! I purchased it all and it’s almost working. The only thing is that my panels are just couple inches too wide so they are not stretched. My pop tent is 10x10 but as it goes up I believe it just gets a little smaller. The meshes actual size is 9’6” and I feel like if it was 9’ it would be the perfect stretch so I can hang pieces off it. Any idea on how I could fix that? How to make it couple inches smaller? Or maybe you hack to stretch it better ? Thank you so much!❤

The link for the tent on Amazon shows up as a shade mesh panel. What tent did you recommend? Is it sturdy and robust? Also, I would love to see how the cables were hung on tent poles. If they are hung horizontally did you drill holes in the tent poles to keep them in place from sliding down? Or were they hung vertically from the tent's top poles?
