    Smush is a technical term! Love this! IMHO this is a perfect combo of eastern and western landscape painting it has the specificity of western landscape with the atmosphere and imaginative perceptiveness of eastern landscape.

    I couldn't help but notice how easy it was to trust your canvas at a higher height. Will you please show us your setup. It seems as if it's better than the one that I have to signed for myself. LOL . really appreciate it❤ thank you.😇

    Ich habe mir richtig zeit genommen, um Ihre Videos anzuschauen. Es ist magisch. Ich mal erst seit 5 Jahren. Aber töglich. Und immer noch mit Acryl. Anfangs gab es nur eine kleine ecke in meinem Wohnraum. Der wurde dann immer gröser. Im September renoviere ich. Die sessel fliegen raus. Mein atelier zieht ein. Wie haben Sie den übergang von acryl auf öl gemacht? Nach und nach und in einem klaren Schnitt?❤

      Painting has a way of taking over, doesn't it! I've got a video on switching to oils that you might enjoy: th-cam.com/video/C-wSylvaC68/w-d-xo.html

    Great painting! So inspiring... What is the purpose of using the marker over the pencil sketch? Does it help with the luminosity effect somehow? Or?

      This was a really big canvas, so rather than taking it down off the easel and taking it outside to spray the drawing with a fixative, I used an acrylic marker to seal the lines. Thanks!

  • @chriswhitehouse8982
    @chriswhitehouse8982 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Why is it that the hard acrylic lines, especially at the edges of the clouds, don't show through the final oil painting?

    • @LayneJohnsonStudio
      @LayneJohnsonStudio  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I paint in layers but also use opaque pigments (especially later in the painting), which covers the lines.

    Hi there! I am new to all the mediums and solvents and varnishes for oil painting. (I know I'm almost certainly getting those terms mixed up, too.) Is there any non-toxic alternative to liquin to make layers dry faster? Or should I just not worry about its toxicity? Additionally, I purchased some linseed oil to thin my paints - I've heard this can't be used alongside liquin. Is that true?
    I have been trying to find some kind of comparison chart of all the options. It's making my head spin!

    • @LayneJohnsonStudio
      @LayneJohnsonStudio  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Gabriel - Solvents are really the bigger issue if you're concerned about toxicity. I personally haven't had any issue with Liquin and I've been using it for decades. Just know that linseed oil will move the paint really well, but it will SLOW the drying time. I find Liquin is generally all I need for my medium (and that's what I teach in my courses). So keep it simple. :-) Also, if you're concerned about toxicity, try Chelsea's organic solvents (I like their Lavender Brush Cleaner). They're wonderful!

    Do you gesso your canvas before you start anything?

    • @LayneJohnsonStudio
      @LayneJohnsonStudio  5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Always. I like a very smooth surface, so I typically add additional coats even if the canvas was pre-gessoed.

    Is there a reason you use a bright orange for the under painting? Could you have used grey?

    • @LayneJohnsonStudio
      @LayneJohnsonStudio  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I like this color because it's the complement of the blue sky - so it gives the sky more luminosity. But yes, you can use other colors, depending on what you're trying to achieve. If you don't have it already, take a look at my free ebook (Begin with an Imprimatura). It includes all the info, including the other color variations you can use. >> laynejohnsonstudio.ck.page/ebook22

    Great video! Do you sometimes use a pen to sketch first?

    • @LayneJohnsonStudio
      @LayneJohnsonStudio  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      No, never pen. Typically Conte, charcoal, pastel, or graphite.

      It's simply oil paint that's been thinned with odorless mineral spirits.

    hi , what is the use of putting grid on your reference? theres no grid on ur canvas to match it with , just curious , also from where do you get your reference landscapes?

    • @LayneJohnsonStudio
      @LayneJohnsonStudio  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      If you go back to the beginning of the video when there's a close up of my canvas when I'm drawing, you can see the grid (0:14 - 0:29). By the time I start painting, I've typically erased the light grid lines.
      For my references, I drive all around the areas I like to paint and take LOTS of photos. I've been collecting reference for years. :-)
