      Just go for it don't get caught up with all the technical side of things. I've been painting about 17 years and I still am learning about my art. People get put off by being overwhelmed by to much information to take in.

    This video is actually freaking awesome. I just recently jumped right into painting and accidentally waffled out a few surprisingly awesome looking pieces and I still get one to look really nice here and there but I end up with a lot of misses because I don't really actually know what the hell I'm doing. This video helped clear up a few things. Thanks..

    @trace-elementz1343 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Gosh, I use the same easels, small to medium size, I also have used the pouring technique for interesting background movement and design detail. It's good to know I'm not alone in the ways I paint. I have found, over time what works best is what is comfortable and never to shun the mistakes. Mistakes help me learn and can be made into happy accidents.

    • @wallyrussell
      @wallyrussell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree. I just love happy accidents too.

    • @wallyrussell
      @wallyrussell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jayan Thampi it certainly is different painting with Acrylic compared to Oil. Just make sure you keep your brushes in water or they'll dry hard as a rock before you know it

    • @africo9104
      @africo9104 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’ve also just found out that titanium white is a very slow drying paint. It takes up to a week to dry, so be careful in painting like burnt umber that dries very fast in a day and the titanium while. So use liquin with the white so they dry at the same time. The zinc white is apparently best used for glancing as it comes out so thin or where you don’t want the white to be too bright.

    What a lovely person and a really interesting and informative video. I learned a lot from all of your good advice. I don't know if you have ever heard this but a friend told me that when I am cleaning my acrylic brushes, to include a little hair conditioner with the soap. I have been doing it and my much used brushes are in great shape.

    • @wallyrussell
      @wallyrussell  9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Dervie100 Using hair conditioner with the soap sounds like a great idea. Should help keep our brushes really nice, smooth and soft. I will try this myself.

  • @shadowseekerme

  • @VickiChristchurchNZ
    @VickiChristchurchNZ 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Linseed oil can be used to clean brushes. Not only is it healthier for the user than the chemical cleaners, but it also helps preserve the brush heads. Keep a jar of it for cleaning: the same jar of oil can be reused even when the colour has gone black from paint residue. Wash each brush with warm water and soap afterwards.

    • @montygemma
      @montygemma 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Vicki Payne Use vegatable oil from the supermarket to clean brushes, does the same job but is much cheaper.

    • @VickiChristchurchNZ
      @VickiChristchurchNZ 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Adrian Merrifield I wouldn't mind having a small amount of linseed oil or soap residue on my brush, but not vegetable oil. Just make sure you wash it super thoroughly to prevent it interfering with the paint.

  • @visibledarkness1181
    @visibledarkness1181 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just to add, zinc white more transparent as opposed to titanium white which is more opaque. zinc oxide is the only transparent white pigment, (that we know ov) so it can be used as a white in glazes where it needs to modify the atmosphere without blocking out what lies beneath. It should also be known that, when using zinc white, one should use a generous amount ov mediums as this will add to the flexibility ov it as zinc alone can be very brittle. It is also for this reason that it doesn't make for a good primary white unless working on a panel. I hope this helps somebody out there, and thank you for your knowledge in this video.

      Right now I sketched a raven maybe not the best but non the less a raven in some branches. Do I paint back ground first then the raven or raven first? When painting the raven do you paint the outline first of the bird then paint layers?

    • @wallyrussell
      @wallyrussell  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Kathleen Lobb Usually you would paint the background first, as with all paintings. Unless your background is paint is really thick, then you might paint it first. As far as painting the outline of your Raven first or not ... whatever works for you.

    @robertgwinn1478 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Titanium white, when used to mix with paint to lighten, will desaturate the paint. It basically destroys the color saturation. Zinc white will lighten the value without desaturating near as much. There is Zinc/Titanium white and Soft Mixing White that gives a little of the best of both whites. Hope that helps.

      Sharon R Hi Sharon well my favorite brushes are made from sable. They are extremely expensive. Maybe that’s why they work so nice with oil paints.

    Can you tell me about paint thinner how you use it, an cleaning brushes , how do you dispose paint thinner

    • @wallyrussell
      @wallyrussell  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For cleaning brushes: I use three coffee cans and three or four clear plastic gallon jugs. I start by pouring just "a little"thinner in each can. Then I use one for the first initial cleaning, then clean more in the second can and finish with the third can. That gets the brushes pretty clean, but then I go wash them with hot water and dish soap and finish by slapping them dry on (whatever) something like a fence post or pole. This is important so the brushes stay softer.
      I use the different gallon jugs like this: Of course, one has new clean thinner. The second one I pour back the (very dirty thinner from my first coffee can. The third jug gets the thinner from the second coffee can and the third jug get the much cleaner thinner in it from the third coffee can. After a few hours you'll notice the solids will settle to the bottom. You then pour off the clean thinner on top into yet another jug and extend your thinner for a long time.
      Disposing is a bummer to have to add to the environment for sure. The only jug I dispose is the one the is filled to the top with solid paint.That's why I recycle as much as possible and end up with very little to "get rid of." It can take years and years until my first real dirty jug gets filled. I actually pour off as much clean thinner from all the jugs. As far as where to dispose, well your local garbage man will take it. Or you could dump it in your neighbors backyard or leave on the side of the road somewhere. But that wouldn't be nice.

      @@wallyrussell that is so funny. Open in the neighbor's yard good idea. Well that's if you have a bad neighbor thank you for all the feedback. I had one question I forgot to ask you if you don't have the white to put on your canvas before you start the paint is that matter or can you use like cooking oil or something like that or just leave it dry thank you💖💖💖👍👍👍

      @@BlueSky-di2gw You mean GESSO coat the canvas first? Well that is OK. 95% of my painting are painted of dry store bought canvas. Most are already coated. Gesso comes in different colors too. Black is a good one.
