Wow, I've been painting for 40 years and I'm telling you, I've never seen anyone try so hard and honestly to make their technique understood by amateurs and I'm telling you, everything you say is crystal clear to me, but it will take a long time for most. I love your work.
I have learned more watching two of your videos about painting techniques than I have watching 50 other ones. I am getting ready to binge watch all of your videos. You are now my go to channel to get good useful information without any fluff! Thank you so so much!
Sure glad you are teaching again, Scott. Hope all is well for you and your beautiful family. You are an outstanding oil painting teacher, and I know many! All the best for you, and I enjoyed your video very much today.
I bought an old glass computer table in a charity shop for £5.00. The top is the right height for me, the slidy shelf is where i keep my scraper, gloves and baby wipes for cleaning. The bottom shelf is useful for storing tubes in a badket. It even has wheels. Just brilliant. I painted the underside of the top with neutral gray. UK based.
Thank you! This video taught me so much! I’m very new to oil painting and sometimes it gets very frustrating when the paint isn’t doing what I want it to😅
Hi Scott, Love your work! Discovered your channel last month and I'm hooked. Already watched about 10 so far. Started painting about 4 years ago and moved from acrylic to oil in March this year. Your videos are so easy to follow. I've fallen in to the trap of watching too many different TH-cam tutorials, most saying to paint loose. But I now know after watching your tutorials that my developing style is more realistic than loose. Many thanks and I will be joining your Patreon page. Keep those vids coming!
My glass palette is one of those irritating glass cutting boards where one side is textured. I cut off the rubber stoppers with a razor blade and use that side (the smooth glass side) as my palette. Works amazing!
Want to hear about a challenge with materials? I have been painting portraits in oils for 50 years. I have always used WN paints and linen canvas. Centurion has been my favourite for the last 4-5 years. - Because I travel so much, I decided to take up gouache for it’s opacity and speedy drying time. I have challenged myself to learn to develop form, like in oils, with gouache!!! It sure isn’t easy (probably impossible) but that hasn’t stopped me from trying . 😂 Besides the lack of time for soft blending, the pigment colors don’t even look the same (even in WN gouache). I’m assuming that is due to the non reflective nature of gouache vs oil. I have been using watercolor blending medium to slow down the process a bit. It helps but it isn’t enough to get the luscious feel of oil paint. It’s probably mission impossible but it sure it fun to try. - Actually, it’s a nightmare! I’m going back to oils! 😂 - Thank you for your content. You are interesting, knowledgeable and really very funny. I happily support you in Patreon because you deserve that and so much more.
Hey Scott love you’re work and videos, I use Artfix, all their linen’s are very absorbent, even their acrylic primed, i think your confusing them with Claessens, which I’ve used a lot in the past and their linen’s are almost nonabsorbent with a little absorbency. I’ve never tried centurion and plan on buying some next week, thank you again for sharing your experience and knowledge and awesome skills
I take a new tube & tap the bottom on my palm over & over, packing the pigment to the bottom, raising the oil to the top. Turn the tube over on a paper towel, squeeze slowly from the bottom of the tube & the excess oil comes out. Works for me. You can make the paint very heavy the more you tap.
I like Windsor and Newton, recently I have been using Williamsburg paints, which are a wonderful consistency, and some colors that I haven't seen elsewhere.
15:47 Have you tried preparing your palette with several coats (untill it stops absorbing it) of hardware store linseed oil? Usually over a couple of days.
Thank for this video!! I really enjoy your content!! Thanks for your time and effort!! A quick question about color choice. What is your take on using more toxic colors like the Cadmiums and lets say Cremnitz White. Why use them if there less toxic colors available of more or less equal quality? I would really like to hear what you have to say about that.
Fantastic videos! Tks a lot. My problem.is I only can paint acrylics because i am allergic to the oils material. Cant handle this. Any advices in my case would be apprecited!
Learned a ton from you and I appreciate ya! Wish I could leave a picture of a portrait that I've done, so you could see the improvement that I've made because of you!
Handy tip from Louis Velsaquez to stop absorbent surfaces ( if you want to) is to paint with SKIMMED milk..you can do this on an unprimed masonite or any surface that has already been coated with an acrylic gesso. This is basically a watery protein that will dry hard and is archival. I've tried it and it works. I've also found Rowney Artist (professional) oil the easiest to work with from the tube... I believe they add a little wax to their formula but I like them , very buttery.
I've been having a heck of a struggle putting paint on paint. It keeps beading up! I cannot figure the reason out. The only thing it may be, is I'm using boiled linseed oil from the hardware store. If i were to add oil to thin, say to get a nice flow through a needle brush for eyelashes...it beads & breaks apart. Any thicker, & i cant get that fine line to flow in one stroke. Anyone know? Spirits added still bead. Mainly micheal harding & winsor newton paints being used. Some m.h. i have to loosen up with oil, but it seems to happen on all colors.
The color is King Blue but I don't see it in W&N charts. You can make King Blue with Ultramarine, Titanium white and a very little bit of phtalo. I use manganese blue with white, whcih gives very similar results.
I plaY my game of 15 years for maybe $10 a month. I have many hundreds of dollars and time into painting and bading supplies. Many gammers spend more. Depends on your project sizes and production.
Hey Sott, I am learning so much from your videos... but that's not why I'm messaging. I need to tell you how weird it is to watch you... you and my son are doppelganger. Not only in looks, but mannerism, speech pattern, and humor. Kind of makes me nervous... did I have twins and nobody told me???😅
damn why does this mine of knowledge is without subtitles? 😭 can someone please summarise for me what it's all about, because unfortunately I can't understand a word.😥

I feel exactly the same way!!!❤
I have learned more watching two of your videos about painting techniques than I have watching 50 other ones. I am getting ready to binge watch all of your videos. You are now my go to channel to get good useful information without any fluff! Thank you so so much!
I guess this is one of the most comprehensive guide to which materials to use with the best possible results. 10 out of 10!!
Sure glad you are teaching again, Scott. Hope all is well for you and your beautiful family. You are an outstanding oil painting teacher, and I know many! All the best for you, and I enjoyed your video very much today.
Once again you surpass yourself with your generous sharing of valuable knowledge. Thank you ever so much.
Love your videos happy to have you back ❤
Thanks for all your awesome videos. You really are a great person for sharing.
Thank you for a fantastic tutorial.

To absorb oil, I squeeze paint onto cheap white index cards (vs paper towel)
I take a new tube & tap the bottom on my palm over & over, packing the pigment to the bottom, raising the oil to the top. Turn the tube over on a paper towel, squeeze slowly from the bottom of the tube & the excess oil comes out. Works for me. You can make the paint very heavy the more you tap.

Hi, can you tell me if your paint is Winton Oil or artists range from Winsor and Newton? Thanks. Great video.
I couldn’t understand what brand of synthetic brushes. Was it Dick Blick?
Yes. He said Blick round ..Their blue handled ones.
Have you ever worked with Geneva paint, Mark Carder's brand?

Rosemary & Co send chocolates usually only around Christmas time. 😊
Gosh from start of video watching the way you paint. I realized I work the same way. No art school or tutorial experience here
Frank Slater,N.Rockwell gave great written painting lesson s.
Hope you are feeling better now :) Are you going to describe your tips for painting in your style using Acrylics?! ;)
What games do you play Scott?
What blue color is on Scott’s palette? I see it often in his videos but I don’t think I ever heard him mention it.
Cerulean Blue by the look of it...I may be wrong
The color is King Blue but I don't see it in W&N charts. You can make King Blue with Ultramarine, Titanium white and a very little bit of phtalo. I use manganese blue with white, whcih gives very similar results.
@@vinace1463 Looks like you may be correct, in his how to paint the eye video he identifies the blue he uses as cerulean blue.
Turn on the subtitles, please.
You must do that yourself, at the top on the right hand side of his video, you'll see : cc " in the corner , click on it and you'll get subtitles.
@@africo9104 The cc option is not available because the content owner didn't make it available. 😢
Sir, sigma means you’re that guy. It’s like alpha but the cool lone wolf type. Everyone wants to be sigma. Lol. Love your videos.
❤❤❤❤❤
how does painting compare to playing video games: which is more frustrating , rewarding or expensive ?
I plaY my game of 15 years for maybe $10 a month. I have many hundreds of dollars and time into painting and bading supplies. Many gammers spend more. Depends on your project sizes and production.
Por favor subtítulos , me encanta este artista pero no podemos entender lo que dice, muchísimas gracias,un saludo
Bonjour également je suis française et je regrette les sous-titres en français, comme beaucoup d’autres

Nice one "Wade Wilson" aka "Deadpool" the fictional character played by actor Ryan Reynolds.
