  • @leahpassler6603
    @leahpassler6603 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I've watched a few of your blending videos, and I'm anxious to try out your technique. Do you treat your canvas before painting? Thanks very much for these videos!

    • @GregLowmanArt
      @GregLowmanArt  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      you're welcome & no it's not treated at all

    @M0D60 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Man, this helps. ( Instead of blending up/down, side to side, angles, why not blend circlely? Does it matter? ) End result is A beauty.

    • @GregLowmanArt
      @GregLowmanArt  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      thanks glad it helps & I usually end up doing it all at some point (up, down, left, right, cirlces, x's) when blending out backgrounds

    wonderful but what if I need to paint on wood that I have been drying for years? I must avoid using watter at all cost. thanks

    • @GregLowmanArt
      @GregLowmanArt  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I've painted on wood before it's np, just prime it first when water is an issue

  • @jennywowk-jcdmah2144
    @jennywowk-jcdmah2144 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What do you mix paints with and what's your consistency? 😊

    • @GregLowmanArt
      @GregLowmanArt  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I almost always just use water (occasionally add a bit of slow-dri amzn.to/3GhL5gc when working on larger canvases) and get it to a creamy consistency that is a bit thicker than watercolor.

    Can i wash the used brushes?

    • @GregLowmanArt
      @GregLowmanArt  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes just rinse them out w/ warm water when you’re done they’ll last for years

    This technique doesn't work with heavyweight paper? Or am I doing something wrong

    • @GregLowmanArt
      @GregLowmanArt  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's possible but tough because the paper is so absorbent compared to a canvas surface, which makes it hard for the paint to flow. You're going to have to add loads of water and paint + work very fast.

    • @dezz__
      @dezz__ ปีที่แล้ว

      @@GregLowmanArt ty for your reply.
      Yeah I thought so. I already made up my mind & will buy a canvas & keep the paper for ideas that don't require smooth blends.
      I hope I'll find a well enough primed canvas as I don't want to go through the process (I've seen recommended) with applying & smoothing gesso.

    • @GregLowmanArt
      @GregLowmanArt  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yeah it will be much easier on a canvas and you do not have to gesso for this technique if you don't want to deal with it - good luck

    Can you do a video of multiple gradients? Similar to a prism gradient?

      Sure & this one may help until then:

    Was your canvass dry or wet plz

    • @GregLowmanArt
      @GregLowmanArt  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      the canvas was dry to start

  • @saranevillerogueart9627
    @saranevillerogueart9627 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Please DONT use jus plain water. But a 60% slow dry and 40% flow improver. Instead. Water WILL DISSOLVE the paint so it will actually lift back off canvas . With succeeding layers

    • @GregLowmanArt
      @GregLowmanArt  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I have never had flaking or lifting in countless paintings over 15 years, even where i've used glazes & washes. You may want to try higher-quality paints such as liquitex, winsor & newton or golden.
