STEADY Your HAND! How To Use A Mahl Stick || Quick Art Tips
Need to put in those delicate tiny details? Are you smudging your wet paintings? Are you having a difficult time calming your hand? Use a Mahl stick! The traditional painting & drawing aide to steady your hand for precision and control.
The origins of the Mahl stick go back to the German and Dutch artists of the mid 17th century. Mahl stick is derived from "Malstock" or "Maalstok," which translates to 'painter's stick.'
But the real reason you are reading this description is because you are wondering why did I have to make it into an old cable informercial. Okay...okay... I guess growing up in the 90's with all those late night informercials DID affect me. I really should have just gone to bed. Anyway, please don't try to order one. Just go down to your local hardware store and pick up a wooden dowel. You'll be glad you did.
Enjoy and thanks for watching!

The landscape was so immediately breathtaking that only about a mile and a half along the trail, I stopped to try to capture it in paint. The watercolor & gouache sketch was painted using my tra...

Okay, you've sold Alla Prima for me. I will try. Nice work
Oh, my gosh. Brilliantly done. Hilarious. Good tips, too!
Spot on!
The clips with your dog are gold! Great edition. And great content.
Ok your video edition is another level sir! Officially in love with your content.
Your video helped the eye "click" in my mind! Eternally grateful 🫡
I usually am a ghost watcher but I just had to say this; you are such a great teacher, I’ve been watching your videos since I have an oil painting to finish but I just felt I was doing something wrong, and your videos have brought to light so many mistakes I was making. Also the way you explain things makes it SOOOO easy to understand, I truly am grateful for your videos and hope you keep making more. I wish you great success 🫶
really some of the best oil paint videos out there
Love this style of videos!!!
Brilliant 🤩
wish i found this channel yearrs ago.
Literalmente la cuenta que llevo meses buscando, explicas bien el tema óleo🙏🙏🙏 gracias
excellent. subscribed.
Thank you so very much! New video coming out in a few weeks. Biggest one yet. Thanks again!
That Mark Zuckerberg statue is creepy
He sure is. Haha. Nice!
Thanks!
WOW! Thank you! I am humbled. Thank you! I really appreciate your support. Cheers!
The Zorn palette is actually a muted RBY primary colour palette. The white is useful only for those who work with oils, acrylics and gouache. If you replace the Ivory Black with any chromatic mix of black, like a mix of Red and Green, or Magenta with Green, that both mixes neutralize each other and give black you can easily have the range of dark muted blues that you can't get from the single pigmented Ivory black.
As a red-green colorblind painter, limited palettes are super helpful for keeping track of what I’ve used and preventing introduction of unintentional hues.
Excellent! Organizing limited palettes by analogous values (light to dark) is also very helpful. Thank you for sharing and I appreciate your time and comment. Happy painting!
So what comes next after this layer? Do you have a following video that evolves this series into the final full painting? Love this. Subscribed!
Excellent! Thank you. I appreciate it. This technique follows the Flemish method of painting, typically referred to as the "seven layer method." What comes next is warmer color opaque and transparencies. I would love to made the follow up video. I will put it on the list. Thanks!
Love this video! It reminds me of the Krusty Krab employee orientation video😂
Awesome! That is too funny. Thanks for the support. Cheers!
love this.
Thank you! I am so glad you liked the video. Cheers!
great video
Thank you very much. I am so glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers!
Lol, awesome, just like cheesy shopping channel advert, but yours had good information in i was in fits of laughter😂
Very cool! Thank you so much. I am so glad you liked the video. I grew up on those darn infomercials, it had to be done. Thanks again.
Best tutorial I've seen 👌
Wow! Thank you! I means so much. I realllllllly appreciate it. So happy you liked it. Cheers!
Video is great, and funny, and the lessons well taken, i wished you didnt include that silly statue talking with a demon voice. that was uncalled for
Thank you. Appreciate it. I will be phasing him out of the content.
This is SO helpful.. thank you!!!
You're so welcome! Thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for leaving a great comment. Cheers!
Just beautiful ❤ love it
Amazing! You are so kind. I appreciate your support. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
好棒的绘画
Awesome! Thank you so much. :)
Great video, but sir, I'm afraid you have a serious paint purchase addiction.
Haha! I really REALLY do. I just love colors... I have entered a 12-step program. I am so glad you liked the video. Thank you so much for watching and the great comment. Appreciate you!
That Galkyd is some toxic smelling stuff. I wish I could paint with it, just can't stand the smell.
It really is. I have stopped using it the last few years. It is probably just straight poison. Thanks for watching and for the comment. Cheers!
no offense too much talk
Your instructions are amazing! Thank you so very much for this! ❤
So cool! I am so glad you liked the video. Thank you so much for the support and for the great comment. I hope your canvas building is going well. Cheers!
Это для идиотов? 🎉
Good first layer demonstration, it makes me want to go paint!
Excellent! Thanks for the watch and for the kind comment. Now get out there and paint! :) Cheers!
Please keep making TH-cam videos
You are very kind. Thanks for the note. I am... the newest video has taken me 3 months so far. It will be around an hour and half. I am aiming for first week of November. Then after that, I hope to have a video out every month. I appreciate your support. Cheers!
Clean 🧼
Nice! Indeed. Thanks for watching!
Really helpful, thank you.
I am so glad it was. Thanks for watching and for the nice comment. Happy painting!
brilliant and entertaining, thank you!
Wonderful! I am humbled. Thank you for your kindness. Appreciate the support. Cheers!
I really like this technique of applying the tones. Thanks Michael 😊
Excellent! It is one of my favorite techniques for sure. Thank you! Cheers!
No mention is made of the ground/ surface?. In my classes years ago, mention was made of the importance of smooth ground- and smooth application, of grisaille- for best effect...?
Good idea. Sadly, not in this video. We were also taught about a smooth surface for application. Personally, I always like to work on primed panel. Thanks for the comments and question. And thanks for watching!
Thankyou!! Been searching for for exactly this for quite a while... had forgotten the basics from my classes in this years ago ❤
So glad! Thank you for the watch and for the kind comment! Back to basics for all of us. :)
Thank you for this video
Awesome! Thank you. I appreciate your kindness. Cheers!
@@michaeljohnnolan You are welcome
Diego Velazquez use 3 blues too, lead white its banned in EU btw.
Excellent! I wasn't familiar with that. Which blues? I really love his work! Anyway, lead white is super hard to get in the States too. Only a handful of companies make it. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
@@michaeljohnnolan Azurita and Esmalte azul, no idea about how its called in english im from Spain.
Thank you, this was really useful.
I am so glad it was able to help. Thank you for watching and for the comment. Cheers and happy painting! Or happy varnishing! :)
Instead of turpenoid, can white spirits be used?
Good question. Yes and no... Yes, it is a poorer quality turpentine and will definitely clean brushes and surfaces. And no, it is quite harsh on the body and still not great for varnishes and mediums. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching and the comment. Happy painting!
Thank you
Thank you! I appreciate the support and your kindness. Cheers!
does this apply to painting other skin types besides Caucasian?
Hello! Absolutely! The Zorn palette can match any and all skin types. However, the most important aspect of a skin type is the color of the light illuminating it. The Zorn is very limited to a warmer amber light. Hope that helps. Happy painting! :)
@@michaeljohnnolan Thank you so much!!!
Not gonna lie, I lost it at the "let's keep it fancy" gag. So simple, but hilarious. I dunno why, but it just made me laugh really hard.
Nice! Thank you. I thought that was funny too. But I almost took it out during editing... so I am glad I left it in. Anyway, thanks for watching and for the super kind comment. Cheers!
You a real one for this
Awww... thanks! I really appreciate your support and kindness. Good luck in making your own canvas. Once you start you won't be able to stop. Cheers!
I dont get why people use oil paints... its actually such a pain its not worth all the hassle
You are so right... I thought the same thing coming out of inking and comics. But once you try it... there is no coming back. It is almost like a cult. Give it a try... do it! :)
@@michaeljohnnolan ya im fine w oils now lol
❤❤❤❤
Thank you! Thank you! Appreciate your support. Glad you liked the video. Cheers!
Even the nut allergy is against my advances of being an artist!
Do you mean the walnut oil...? Oh no! There is always something, right? :) Thank you for the comments. I appreciate your kindness and support. Cheers!
