..if only lol. Thanks a lot!

Thanks :)

Acrylic, for this artwork. Oil painting begins at 3:14

Thank you :)

Provided I didn't use any pure white in the first layer (since in my experience it dries slower than any other color), a day or two is usually just enough time to proceed to the final layer.

Oh thank you :) quite a lot of work goes into these so...this is always good to hear.

Always a pleasure :)

Haha...that's good to hear. Although to be fair the grisaille can very well be a finished piece on its own; that just depends on your style and what the type of paint you use can allow. I, for instance, can't go much beyond that level of detailing with acrylics and that's why for the stages that follow I switch to oils.

Thanks a lot and glad it was helpful :)

Many thanks

It's got to be a combination of both since even with the same technique I can't achieve the same "smoothness" with acrylics.

Shukran sana bro :) this is your domain though haha...

@@ClaversOdhiamboArt I know but this is really impressive for the scale of work, and how this did resonate with the owners expectation and liking. A suggestion, what about the process before the painting starts, that is making of the concept, maybe on photoshop..I believe painting starts from there.

@@eddiepicaso I "exceeded expectations", so he said 😆yes, I put all these images together on Photoshop before starting.

More like I can sing ALONG lol. Thanks for the kind words :)

Thanks Renato, keep learning and practicing.

Thanks for watching Sharon, and for the brilliant idea with the signed picture; when I start making those I'll reach out to you for sure. And apologies for my pronunciation lol; the word I meant was "mural", not "mirror."

@@ClaversOdhiamboArt No, no apology! I'm the one who made the mistake I typed it in wrong. My apology! Thank you for catching that! 😂🤣...That is a great idea to take a picture of your paintings when you paint a mural, make copies, and sign it.🤣😂🎨🖌️📝🖋️

This was a commissioned piece where the client provided the image. For my own work there's no fixed method but these videos can give you an idea: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/arqep7lz0K_WlIU.htmlsi=pTbZpvlNs6hyewf_ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atqSZ5x7r9rbZo0.htmlsi=pBsoWvrlxCyAJlRK

Thank you :) and thanks for watching

That's right

Thank you 🙏🏾

😂

Thanks a lot :) sectioning the canvas/wall etc into grids can make it less overwhelming though (if you ever need to paint one of these)...coz then you just treat each section as a separate "small" painting.

Haha...hopefully for the better. Keep at it!

or chocolate milk? Lol.

Haha…not bad

Thanks :)

Thanks; thats a...small brush...? Idk if you were asking a more complex question (you can clarify).

@ClaversOdhiambo sorry yes what kind of brush lol

Thanks Lauren. The solvent I'm using here is kerosene, which also has its own side effects, especially when inhaled. I rarely ever use thinner except when cleaning really hardened brushes but when I do I only come into contact with it for a few seconds at a time and in a well-aerated space. Gloves can't work for me because feeling the texture of the bristles is a big part of cleaning brushes but thanks for the concern :)

Thank you
