PAINTING MEDIUMS FOR OIL PAINTING
Galkyd gel medium - speeds up drying time - amzn.to/2R9uDEW
Galkyd lite gel - leave brush strokes visible for cool effects amzn.to/2RN4qeL
Liquin Lite gel - Windsor Newton for applying very lite coats of paint and building layers. Speeds up drying a lot too amzn.to/2vap68R
Gamblin solvent free gel medium - use this if you’re sensitive to smell - it’s odorless and you can use it as a medium like galkyd or liquin - it’ll also speed up drying time amzn.to/2G4QzuC
MARK MAKING TOOLS
R & F pigment sticks, gorgeous highly pigmented color for mark making or painting amzn.to/2G9MZiQ
Graphite water soluble crayons, great for making marks amzn.to/2tCZJfa
MUST HAVE SUPPLIES
Richeson Gray Paper Palette, has a color wheel on the back amzn.to/38rjbKB
Scott Shop blue towels - super absorbent, great for wiping paint on the canvas or cleaning tools. I use so many of these, I buy them in bulk amzn.to/2RGmI0P

Hey Andrea, many thanks for sharing your process. I enjoy the process as much as I enjoy the result. Frankly I'd have been happy to hang this canvas on my wall during any stage of it's creation. Beautiful work. Greetings from Scotland 👍
That’s such a thoughtful kind comment! Greetings back to you from California!
Andrea, went out yesterday and bought a few supplies. My dream is work with this medium. I found you and you have inspired me tremendously. One day with you I would like to a one on one lesson or take your class.
Wonderful! Make sure you subscribe to my newsletter so you're in the loop
having read some of the comments below, i also want to say that you are an inspiration ... especially during the January Blahs here in a snow covered landscape....i'm so enjoying watching how you go back and forth, gives me confidence to be more brave...thanks a lot, and looking forward to more.
I love your videos! I’m so happy I found you. Yesterday I went to the Texas Art Supply and bought a few of your suggestions for this technique. Medium, which I have admired for years. I hope to get to work with you in an actual class one day. You are phenomenal! Thank you for all your teaching here on YT! ❤️🤗
Thank you so much for such a lovely and generous comment ! I won't be teaching a class for a while but I do one on one classes if that seemed like it might help in the next few months.
So much great info on color, composition and brush strokes. Inspiring~
So happy I found your wonderful tutorial, I love your art style. This is my 1st video and really enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to watching and learning more. Thank you!! 🧚🏻♀️
I agree 100% you did a wonderful job. I really loved it and appreciate your hard work. I aspire to be half the artist you are.
Great video :) I really like the idea of the "Little Guy"
I am enjoying your advanced tutorial style , so refreshing and inspirational. Please keep posting , an invaluable antidote for the art slumps - the cold wax paintings are fabulous . Thanks Andrea !
Oh I love that comment. Thank you. Glad, VERY GLAD to know that this might be helping you up and over the art slump. Do you mean blocked ? As in not being able to paint at all ? Or stuck on a piece ? Or deep in the throws of self-doubt ? All that stuff comes with the territory when you're a creative...
💕💯🎨🎨🎨
I really enjoyed watching your process Andrea. More please. 🙂
Very happy to know you like watching this. You never know when you're in it, if someone else will get something from it. You get into "the zone" when you're deep in your process. Yes, more coming. Hope you're subscribed. If you are, you'll get a notification.
I’m 4 mins in and I’m so sad I didn’t find you sooner !!! You are amazing
So glad to hear and happy to know this is helpful to you.
"At this stage, it's NOT WORKING, clearly." Yet, I'd still hang it on my wall.
What type of brush are you using? It looks like it takes a lot of “abuse.” 🤓
Great video! Painting looks awesome!
Thank you !
What is the surface you are painting on? Please, thanks, love watching you. Appreciate your spontaneity,
.
It's just a standard canvas Denise :)
Thankyou Andrea.....Love your few videos and am looking forward to part 2 of this!!
wonderful. It'll be out next week. Takes a while to edit these !
I'm really enjoying your videos.....learning, learning, learning. Question though....is it possible to paint over acrylic....and ..... can you mix acrylics with the wax medium?
No you can't mix acrylics with cold wax. You CAN mix oil paint and/or pure pigment with it. And no you definitely don't want to use acrylics over coats of cold wax and oil.
@@artistspace sorry, I think you misunderstood the first part of my question: is it possible to use cold wax OVER the top of acrylics?
@@shirleyalmetalennon9410 Aha, yes you can when the acrylic is dry.
@@artistspace Thank you so much.
At the 19 min mark..the background looks like a city with a factory/smoke stacks through the fog..
It's so funny. Now that I've "finished" that painting, I've decided I haven't...It still needs work. I liked it better at a few earlier stages ! Thanks for commenting. Stay tuned as I take this one apart again.
@@artistspace Is anything really finished? lol I really enjoy watching your techniques. I am new to this medium and you are great to learn from. Thanks for giving us access.
You are so amazing! Thank you.
You’re so welcome
