out of curiosity! how many mediums do you dabble with?

i just got done asking someone about temperature in shadows and how to determine if it is cooler or warmer ! only if i woulf of found your channel earlier

love the vids ! voice over gave it a podcast feel to it with the vid as reference was nice i enjoyed it thx

No medium?

Marc, thank you so much! I’m a gouache beginner but intend to learn much to add to my oil paintings. This is a wonderful video with many great tips. Just watching your painting strokes is priceless. Awesome lesson! Many thanks.

Oil and water can never mix.. So wouldn't the water start drying first which would then make the oil implode and crack?

I wish there was more information about mixing those 2 mediums. I can't imagine

I can hear this clearly and the caption is fine with your speaking.

Great demo very fresh . Nice

Interesting & Informative throughout the entire presentation. Thank you for sharing this. Subscribed !

Very informative! Thanks for the demonstration. Very good 👍

Hey Marc, it's great to see you here on YT! Great demo and I hope you're doing well. Do you miss Wisconsin?

Thank you for the video Marc, I know how much work it is to edit and post these. I prefer Cobra oils having tried Artisan and found they seemed to keep sticky for a long time, it could have been the way I used them, I don't know.. I am frustrated that Cobra don't seem to have an effective drying medium, their fast dry seems a bit sticky to use to me unless I also add bit of water to loosen it. A fast dry paste would be nice as well. I don't know if Artisan may have a better dryer that could be used with Cobra oils. I tend to use the Cobra without any medium except a tiny touch of water if needed.It seems you can either use a lot of water and get a wash effect or a small amount to loosen the paint, but as you say water is for cleaning the brushes really.I love the soft nature and colour saturation of the Cobra oils. Looking forward to future tips you may have for using water soluble oils.

You mentioned glazing gouache- do you use acrylic medium for that? Or something else? This is a terrific demo and I think doing voice-over is perfect rather than talking while you are actually painting at the same time. Thanks.

Thank you! Refreshing perspective!

"Painting it without painting it." Yes. What I get from your captures of nature's beauty is your great understanding of the light, and your ability to get that just right.

Immensely helpful to watch you work, and your commentary is brilliant. Love hearing you talk about pallets and your work with Schmid. Thank you sharing!

I have used WN water mixable with a water soluble medium . I have never tried them out of the tube without anything ~ I also have found then to have a long drying time and remain sticky for a long time. I never varnish since they seem to dry with a nice gloss finish.

Love to see you using the pallet knife as it was designed -- creating the occasional hard edge and not as a shovel to heap layers and layers of paint. In my own digital landscape work, I made my own pallet knife "brush" for that very purpose. Thanks for sharing your insights and brushwork techniques.

Great demo with lots of good nuggets of information!

Great demo, insight. Thank you!

Thanks for the great demo and ideas.

….ha…”things that stick you.”

I’m enjoying watching how intentional you are with your brush strokes and your knife. It’s nice to see all of that in real time. Great commentary, too, thank you!

I am so happy to see this ! And it is close captioned!! Yay!

So glad to see you on TH-cam! I always struggled finding you on substack. Hoping you will share a pastel painting every once in a while too :)

No the scraper

Thank you, Marc! This was very helpful. The little spatula was nice. Where do you get it?

Great video Marc! Love your work!!

What an awesome challenge! Looking forward to seeing a pro in the snow and just how it's done when mother nature's whisper blows. Have fun out there and I'll grab some popcorn.

from a former white bear lake mn guy I envy your upcoming plein air fest. cant wait to see!!! good luck!

Excellent news Marc. It was reading about your 4-a-day marathon back in April 09 that got me out of the studio. I also started blogging my art at the same time. Happy new year and all the best with this challenge.

Very exciting Marc, can't wait to see this happen, Happy New Year!

Now that is ambition, dude. I wish you much success and hope to see the results. You choice of color palette, technique, and subject are very appealing. Wish I could do 10% as well.

......and boldly go where no man has gone before.....fantastic Mr, Hanson!

OMG! What an AWESOME trailer! Bravo! Looking forward to seeing the work and hearing about the adventure. This is quite a challenge you've set for yourself. Have fun out there!

Pastels don't freeze. Ditch the oils for a week. Or, come back down to Atlanta and your turp will stay at 60 degrees while you paint in January. I'll be watching for some good works from my old home state of Colorado. Stay off the legal maryjane....

This is great Marc!! And very inspiring! Can't wait to see your paintings!

Ha! Ha! Great trailer, Marc!

OMG! You are hilarious. Milk Duds brother. Yeah!! You just reminded me it's all supposed to be fun ;) Can't wait to see what comes of it. Remember...never leave the studio without your Phase Pistol!

Ha ha! So awesome Marc! May the Force be with you! Paint on brother....
