I love your oil painting style. I have been oil painting since I was seventeen, and it is easier than other water-based paints. People don't realize that. Yes, you can use acrylics under your oil to cut the drying time.
thank you so much! i never had art education when i was younger, and i thought oil painting is for professionals because i heard old masters paintings took years to finish... 😅 that definitely felt very intimidating! and i'm trying acrylic underpainting today, wish me luck🥹
@@ultramarine_finest No, I think she meant that she likes the scent of linseed oil, I love linseed. I paint with Royal Talens Cobra and it has emulsified linseed oil, gorgeous odour, if you smell it close about at 10 cm. Lukas Berlin another water mixable paint I have, I have no idea what oil it has, but it has no any scent.
Hello, I have tried once to write here without sucess by posting, lets see now.I just want to say that sennelier has a brush cleaner in its green line.Its excellent, it cleans without smell , solvent and let no residues.You do not have to wash the brushes after just rinse them in clean water.The thinner is better to make the paint leaner, not for cleaning.Thank you and lots of joy with oil painting
thank you! Was TH-cam being strange again? 😭i bought both the cleaner and paint thinner, but i used them interchangeably... my bad 🥲thanks for the tips!
2:48 Why do you need to store oil paint like so? Why not just just keep in the tube? Oxidation doesn't happen in the tube, when you squeeze paint out from the tubes, of course, oxidation starts, and a skin will be developped in a couple of days. Anyhow, you are excellent in your art.
thank you so much! i didn't want to squeeze out too much or too little paint directly on the palette, because im still very inexperienced and i never know how much paint i will need. and i saw many artists use a tool called box N paint storage, so i wanted to try a similar one... i store mine in the freezer and i can use the paint for many days without the skin forming 😊
@@ultramarine_finest Absolutely reasonable, and thank you that you demonstrated this issue. I am not very much experienced in the topic, but my strategy is to use as small amount on my palatte as I can and at the end of the painting session, I simply throw away the small leftover amount. Mostly I use Royal Talens Cobra Artist oil paint, it is not cheap but not that terribly expensive. Anyhow, it was a joy to have chat on this topic, I'll keep an eye on your progress.

@@MikisArtChannel-ei3fh thank you so much! do you need to *re squeeze* often? it surprises me sometimes that i need a big amount of a certain color, but very tiny amount of another, and i can never predict how much i will need 😅im happy to chat about this too 😊
@@ultramarine_finest I resqueeze white two or three times and some other colors sporadically once during a one or two hour session. I work on the 10 x 10cm Estelle Day exercises from her Easy Oil Painting book. Since, the description of these exercises is clear about the painting process, and the colors I will need, after the 3rd exercise, I am quite comfortable to estimate the amount of colors I need for a session. In your case when you paint your gorgeous paintings, you need all your ten - twelve colors on the palette to have all the paints ready at hand to avoid "breaking of the artistic flow" of painting. Actually, resqueezing is not a problem to me, on the contrary, since I love the paint, the medium itself, I love the act of squeezing out beautiful paint from the tube, this step is a joy part of the process. I love painting relaxed, I paint very slow, that is why I prefer oil and oil pastels over any other quick drying medium (acrylic, gouache, watercolor). Looking forward to watching your forthcoming videos. You are a brilliant artist.
Thank you so much for the tag!! Solvent free painting is the best 🥰

Thank you for the video! I am also starting with oils but for now I am using the water soluble ones. Did you prime the yupo paper? :)
that's wonderful! no i didn't prime it anything, just water soluble paint and water as underpainting 😊thank you for watching!
