Hey everyone Nathan here. You may have noticed that my channel name has changed. I painted under a brush name for many years "Max Cole" but its time to break out! My name is Nathan Clements and I'm here to share what I know about making art and maybe a little about the real life of an artist. Lets go!

    Very cool. Thank you. I might have missed. Do you inter layer medium when painting underpainting in oils as well? Thanks.

    • @nathanclementsart
      @nathanclementsart 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @filmic1 When using oil paint to do your underpainting, use 1-2 drops of cobalt system drier ( from natural pigments website) in each pile of paint you are using and 5-10 drops of turpentine or the paint thinner of your choice. Using these too things you can layer your underpainting using oil paints. It's a sound practice to underpainting using oils but it dries much slower and will take you about a week to complete your underpainting. It's best to use a fast drying paint like acrylic for your underpainting. You can finish it in a matter of 10 minutes and be able to immediately start in oils. Cheers!

    Does anyone know why you put medium on between the layers of acrylic paint? I'm hoping to hear back from the artists, keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks!

    @MaxColeArt - Thank you for showing us this beautiful process for underpainting (toning) our canvases! It's beautiful! And much appreciated! I was wondering the reason behind putting the acrylic medium down between the acrylic paint layers. I'm just learning to underpaint (tone) my canvases. I'm a beginner with art. I'm hooked & just love it!! 💜 I cannot get enough!! I wish I could work on art every day, 8+ hours a day. I really appreciated your video & showing us this great technique! Your canvas turned out beautiful! I like leaving drips, spray splashes, graphite marks, & other marks in my paintings showing through, & having that underpainting (toned) canvas is going to be of great help to my art! I'm excited to start working on a canvas I've underpainted (toned). The white canvas can also be daunting at times. When I started to try your underpainting process, I forgot to put the medium down before the layers of paint. So now I have 2 colors down with no medium, & am thinking I'll just have to not put the acrylic paint down with the medium this time I'll for sure remember from now on. Please let me know the reason why medium is put in between the layers of acrylic paint. I would really appreciate your feedback. Thank you for your assistance & teaching us how to make a beautiful underpainting (toned) canvas! 💜 #MaxColeArt I @ be overjoyed to hear back from Max Cole Art, but if he doesn't respond, can someone tell me why you put medium between the layers of acrylic paint for your underpainting (toning)? Thank you!

    Hi Max, I’m just beginning/ learning. If I’m doing a snow/winter scene, would I still use a warm/cool under painting or stick with cool colours. Thanks for the video, great advise, looking forward to seeing what I can manage to produce using it.

    I so wish you would post more videos. Three just isn’t enough. Please consider making a few more. Or at least one on how you go through the intuitive process of finding your picture after doing the underpainting. Is it the same as when you look for images in clouds, because that’s what I do. Would love to hear your process from the underpainting stage to just before you start applying color to the sky.

    I have to thank you for this. I was using a greenish purplish reddish underpainting for paintings, but there was a stillness to my paintings. When I used this technique it seemed strange at first but as soon as i started painting the first sienna outlines everything jumped out. BRilliant. This is the perfect underpainting technique. I love the practical idea of using cling film for the underpainting so you can just take it off afterwards. Thank you so much from a British guy living in Spain. You are helping so many people with this!

    Hi. Thank you for the amazing video. I have two questions. First how can we do this underpainting for oil painting? Since acrylic dries fast but oil painting is not. So how can I paint over and over to achieve this under painting when I am using oil painting? Also What is value 5? and last can I convert normal colors to transparent? Thank you in advance for your kind attention.

    • @ct5625
      @ct5625 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can use acrylic under oil paints, which a lot of artists do as it dries much more quickly.

    Hi is underpainting required for all kinds of paintings Can you please specify which kind of painting should always have an underpainting and which painting doesn’t require much of underpainting. I’m assuming still live should always have underpainting I’m new to painting, mainly using acrylic as my medium

    Hi! Sooo, I did an underpainting with oil and gamsol yesterday. (Lightly)I realized that I might’ve made a mistake because I wasn’t planning on using oil for the entire way. Can I still paint acrylic over this? Please advise 🙏🏼

    • @aanaa3586
      @aanaa3586 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can put oil over acrylic but not the opposite, because the acrylic won't stick well to the oil underneath it and over the time the painting won't hold up well

    • @nathanclementsart
      @nathanclementsart 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Most of the greatest masters in the history of painting disagree with you...and I do to. Black is powerful. This nonsense that black can be duplicated is utter nonsense. A dark VALUE can be duplicated but the versatility and special qualities of black can't. Experienced painters know this.

    Useless. He does not explain why you need gesso, then medium then colour before you start painting. A beginner needs explanations. He repeats use warm over cool and then begins with a warm colour!

    • @nathanclementsart
      @nathanclementsart 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Scoot, you can use a small amount of linseed oil to thin paint that is way to thick. I often will use linseed oil mixed with "system cobalt dryer" from Natural Pigments and apply a thin coat to the surface of the painting before beginning to work. Be careful not to dilute your paint too much as it will de-saturate your color. In general, it is best to leave your paint alone unless it is completely unworkable or you are trying to achieve a specific effect with a medium. Thanks for stopping by...
