I wish loose painting was really just throwing all the paint down! I look forward to trying this out.

Thanks you Sarah, great tips you Gave! I would add another line to "squint at your reference". Once I Heard Glen Orbik saying: "Squint at your PAINTING too". That was a game changer. So, most of The time Im squinting at both and often blurred vision, with eye sight not in focus. Have a fantastic year. God Bless you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thanks for sharing. Love your work.

I always learn from your videos, thank you

There’s no need to add Gamsol. Refined linseed oil is fine on its own to oil out.

Beautiful painting and great tutorial ! The cat is almost a spitting image of one of mine two cats…..

Thank you so much Sarah such awesome learning here ❤

Fab !!!!!!

Taking notes. Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you, this is so useful

Good summary, the only comment regarding the dpi limitations of taking a photo of an artwork. There is no limitation if you shoot in RAW (all DSLR cameras have this format, though different manufacturers use different names for it). It's basically a huge file with lossless colour information (hence you can colour correct/adjust exposure to your heart's desire without any loss of quality and then export result as a jpeg of whatever size and dpi you want). It was specifically developed for professional photographers so that their photos could be then printed on a large format. Needless to say, both Photoshop and Lightroom support RAW files. Additionally, to minimise waste of ink, paper and time on colour-corrections and colour-matching between screen and prints, all files (in Procreate/Photoshop/Lightroom or whatever other software you use for creating and/or adjusting images) need to be in CMYK colour profile, not sRGB.

Thank you so much...valuable advice! I've been painting for over 35 years on canvas and boards. I am an advocate of painting on wooden panels and would love to see this surface come to the fore again and get its proper recognition. The problem of sinking is not of much concern once the surface is well primed . Remember the old masters too painted on boards as well !

I love your style. Thank you very much for this great video <3

I just LOVE your work Sarah! And you’re such a good teacher. I haven’t painted with oils in 50 yrs and am just getting back to it. Discovering you on TH-cam is a game changer. Thanks for the lessons in warm and cool colors and shadows. I love your eye. Thank you!

Thanks!

thankyou Sarah! im coming back to art after decades of missing it. my latter years now will be filled with learning from the likes of yourself. im so very grateful for this helpful tutorial. and will go to your website to find more

Awesome video! Super helpful. White and black are difficult

I paint landscapes and It’s the snowy season so this is going to be helpful!

Interesting! I’ve never seen this done before. Birch wood is such a nice smooth surface.

This was very helpful! Thank you 😊

Oil paint to me is better, but both are also wonderful too

Both beautiful. At first (on a small phone) I liked the pro-create more. Though, the more I look (on a larger screen) there's something about the physical texture of paint. It seems to stimulate the part of the brain that registers texture in real life. Somehow that causes me to feel more connected, even as though I can smell the dog. It's fascinating to compare.

Try Rebelle 7, you would love, Sara. I switched from procreat to Rebelle and its mind blowing. Also I got back to oils. Maybe I will contact you later to hire some lessons.

Great video. Have you tried any other painting apps? I use ArtRage. Apparently, it's the best for realistic oil painting/colour mixing. I like using it, but saying that, I've never painted using real oil paints before, so not sure how well it compares.

Another excellent video of painting tips. I especially like how you use the different swatches to determine the subtle color in black and white areas. But, I would like for you to consider addressing capturing "personality" in these animal portraits a bit more. Your careful observation, enabled you to capture this cat in a very relaxed pose. The artist's ability to "read" the body language of an animal is critical in capturing it's personality. You painted this cat's body in a very relaxed pose. Ear positions, head and tail all telegraph the cats mood, if you know what to look for. And I think most importantly, the shape and gaze of the eyes all help in conveying the mood of the animal. Those eyes are soft and relaxed showing contentment. So it's really that combination of being sensitive to seeing those unwritten messages in the posture and details of the cat and then , as you have so masterfully done, painted them accurately and deftly. I always look forward to you sharing your process with us!

love this painting! great tips as always! :-)

Your paintings are so gorgeous :)

lovely relaxed feel to the painting ❤

Thank you

this is INCREDIBLY helpful!!! thank you!

I ever learn wiht you.....Thanks a ton...

Wonderful video! ❤ I’m surprised that even you can find painting tricky sometimes but as a beginner artist, it makes me feel better about my own struggles haha. Looking forwards to the next Procreate video, maybe an easy cat tutorial? 👀

A wonderful video, ❤

Thank you! 🥰✔️

I don't know why you don't have more followers/views but I guess it is a matter of time! Amazing portraits (not just this one)

Your videos on oil paint techniques are always so informative, and the painting looks lovely! Thank you for another great video ^^

thanks :)

Thanks for such an honest assessment of how hard it is to make some paintings work. Very helpful:-)

Just found your channel and I’m so happy I did! I’ve already watched several videos and they have been incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for making them ❤ you are very talented and a good teacher!

Can the varnish be applied 24 hours after the oiling out if you do it the way you describe? Or is it better to take one or two days of reserve? So the whole process takes 48 hours between start of oiling out and packing the painting? Did you ever try mixing the oiling out medium with Liquin and what are your experiences? My painting was done using Liquid. I am in a time rush at this moment myself so this is very useful information.

Hello ma'am, can you give the little demo of tera rosa color.

It’s really nice to see a painting being “fixed” instead of the final product and wondering how on earth that process happened!

Question. Why did you only give greenery to the trees on the far right? I did enjoyably replicate this painting but wondered if I could bring a little greenery to the other trees. Thank you.

Very well made and helpful! Thank you!

Very useful video, thanks for this information. Note: Be careful not to mix verdigris green with coffee shades because it changes quickly.

I love the Musée d’Orsay too!

thank you for the video! The greens can be really tricky

❤❤❤

Maravilloso ! ❤
