Oil Painting: A Cheap and Easy Shadow Box Example

มุมมอง 7552 ปีที่แล้ว

A shadow box is pretty much a must have for doing still life paintings. An effective shadow box does not need to be complicated in order to function correctly. You just need to block out ambient light so that your direct light source can make a much stronger effect over your composition. A simple cardboard box will do. You can go a step further and make one out of MDF or thin plywood for a more...

Oil Painting: Limited Palette Expanded (Introduction)

Here is a primer video on the expanded limited palette that I like to use. Instead of using one red, yellow, and blue in addition to brown and white - we have pairs of primary colors. By using a "warm" and a "cool" version of each primary color, we can greatly increase our color mixing potential. One example: you can get a cleaner green by mixing the cooler version of yellow (Cadmium Lemon) and...

Well we did it - we made it to the end of our first still life painting together. Final glazing and highlights are added and we are calling this painting done. We can now move onto a more complex still life for the next painting series demonstration. I am thinking fruits and/or vegetables? Questions? Just ask below in the comments section. Thank you for watching and hope this helps!

In this video, we will do a heavy layer of glazing to darken up much of the background in order to make our center focal point pop out. We prepare our glazing mixture by mixing transparent pure colors into a lot of painting medium. In this particular case, I am using Gamblin's Ultramarine Blue, Asphaltum Brown, and Quinacridone Magenta paints. The medium used is Gamblin's Neo Megilp. Ideally yo...

I found that you can go into beauty supply shops to buy a bunch of things that are handy for painting and cheaper than in art stores. These small plastic cups with caps are extremely useful for storing mediums, paints, and other paint products. The example in the video was one dollar versus about three or four times that in an art store. Will do another video showing some other items you can ge...

I had made the error of "chasing the light" which forced me to make changes during this painting session now that we are using the reference photo to complete the painting. So even late in the game it is perfectly fine to change your mind and go a different direction. Sit back and enjoy. Thank you for watching and hope this helps!

Oil Painting: How To Remove A Dried On Paint Cap

มุมมอง 2432 ปีที่แล้ว

When I bought my Strada easel kit, it came with a tool to help remove dried on paint caps from my tubes of oil paint. Although something similar would work to help grab and torque off a stubborn cap. Before using what is demonstrated in the video I would use a small piece of thin leather to help get a better grip on the caps which worked pretty well most of the time but I do recommend a more pu...

While working on the current still life painting, I managed to allow paint to dry onto my Strada plexiglass palette/work surface. You cannot use a metal razor blade like you would on a glass palette as that will gouge the surface and ruin it. Thankfully it is not to hard to remove the offending dried paint with materials you probably already have laying around your studio. Thank you for watchin...

Welcome to video three of this still life painting demonstration. I am trying something new where most of the video is sped up so you can focus on the way paint is going down around the painting panel surface. This also shrinks down the video length to make it easer to take in. Going to apologize in advance for my camera's auto focusing issues. The painting is coming along nicely and could very...

Today we focus on the focal point of our composition and start refining it. You will be able to see what approximately twenty five minutes of additional painting can do. As we paint I drop knowledge along the way. You are encouraged to share your artwork with me if you are interested in another artist's perspective.

Despite our best efforts, sometimes we will end up with a brush or two that unfortunately gets paint dried in the bristles. Over time this dried paint build up will start to distort the direction of the bristles and you will lose the brush precision. Fear not! There is a great product out there that absolutely works and is claimed to be non hazardous. Thank you for watching and hope that this h...
