I have a pine tree just off my patio in which I see faces in the bark. I often draw these faces. I call them my Tree Family. I love what you did here, Prof. Lieu. ❤--- KateColors
So inspiring! I love the brush and expressive brushstrokes of the gnarly tree. I am currently working with oil pastel and enjoyed seeing it in mixed media. The watercolor does fill in the tooth of the paper if you want a shortcut while working primarily with oil pastel. Thank you!
That is an amazing painting! I love it. I use watercolor and I'm thinking of buying some oil pastels to use over my painting. Your video was helpful. Thank you.
Your painting is stunning! What a fantastic tree. Loved the contrasts.in watercolours. I am dabbling with traditional oil pastels and with water soluble crayons (Caran d'Ache Neocolor 2) and find them fascinating. But...never thought of combining them with watercolour. I need to look into that soon!
Been so caught up in work lately but im so glad i got to find time watching your videos again Prof Lieu! This one's soo beautiful, oil pastel really is an interesting medium.
In Landscape Artist of the Year, they have to do paintings in a downpour. Here's a written account by one of the artists of that experience. www.fayebridgwater.com/blog/2019/10/20/landscape-artist-of-the-year-2019 I wouldn't be able to rough it like that! 😆 -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Love all your watercolor and vlog type art vids. I feel it would be so fun to go painting with you and a group of artists! I understand the feeling of wishing you hadn't gone so far- and I think this painting has so much lovely texture. It reminds me in a way of some of Van Gogh's less well known works.
What a champion is that tree. I'm sure it was quite the oddity when alive and now in death, leaves gone, colour blanched it gives this gorgeous sculptural form. You'd love the trees in the Tassie highlands. Everything here grows in about 50 cm of soil (if they're lucky) so pretty much all our trees are twisted and cranky. It's a relatively recent discovery that trees are altruistic. Turns out in lean years larger trees will forego water and nourishment to allow more vulnerable trees in the vicinity to survive. They do this regardless of the species of the other trees, thereby maintaining biodiversity. They communicate via the mycelial networks underground. I love watching you dry brush with the sumi brush. I can't wait for someone to make a vegan sumi brush so I can try them.
I've heard about this! And when an older tree dies, I heard it will send out its nutrients and immunity memory to the younger, more vulnerable trees. Great examples of community living! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
This is fantastic. Thanks for the reminder that walking out your back door to find a subject is enough. I can't wait to try this combo of media - haven't ever used watercolor and oil pastels together. I see your 'drawing' hand in every piece of art you make and I think it's gorgeous!
I really loved watching your use of the sump brush, the textural effects you achieved with it. I wondered what oil pastels you used, they looked square? I also wondered if you knew there were water soluble oil pastels out there too. I have not tried them yet. Your end result was so pleasing and full of energy. I learned a lot from the way you worked too. Thanks for another great video.
I used Holbein! They were a little bit of a pain as they were unwrapped and I had to wrap them myself in paper so they didn't get super messy. I didn't know about water soluble oil pastels! -Prof Lieu
I generally don't add fixative to oil pastel drawings, I know it's a pain as oil pastel drawings can be scratched and get damaged. Really the only absolute archival way to protect an oil pastel (and soft pastel) drawing is to put it under glass which is not practical given how expensive it is. So for an oil pastel drawing, I'll put a sheet of tracing paper over it so it stays protected. -Prof Lieu
Currently, these two (along with gouache) are my go to mediums for quick sketches at end of a long day of work... great to see your demonstration of how well they can work together! I have a question about the paper - Is it watercolour paper (cold pressed) or mixed media paper? or something else?
The painting turned out nice. I am newish to painting, making art, and am thinking about how to combine water color and oil, on canvas. I need to figure out a composition so I can put watercolor ground on the canvas, then paint with the oils, or and maybe acrylic. Or put watercolor first then acrylic ground for the place I want oil, acrylic.
Here's an acrylic and watercolor tutorial that Clara and Alex did that might be helpful for you. Good luck! th-cam.com/video/NQX-qmkUQgY/w-d-xo.html -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
I honestly can't remember what paper I used, 😂 It was a watercolor block, cold pressed paper, I'm going to guess either Winsor and Newton or Arches. -Prof Lieu
Prof Lieu's original artworks available! www.etsy.com/shop/artprofclara

That is so beautiful! Really makes me want to step outside and draw! *Looks out at the heavy down pour* ...maybe when the sky clears up...

Hermoso trabajo 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🇨🇺
Wonderful - I need to find one of those big brushes!
Here's the supply list: artprof.org/learn/tutorials-media/plein-air-watercolor-painting/ -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
@@artprof Thanks so much Lauryn!
Love the finished product Clara! What kind of fixative would you use for a piece like this? Thank you
I generally don't add fixative to oil pastel drawings, I know it's a pain as oil pastel drawings can be scratched and get damaged.

Yes it’s cold pressed WC paper! -Prof Lieu
it came out nice! what brand of oil pastel did you use?
Holbein! -Prof Lieu

Do you use a fixative over your oil pastels?
actually someone recently bought me this Sennelier fixative just for oil pastels, I haven't tried it yet, but I'll post a short when I do! -Prof Lieu
What brand are those square shaped oil pastels?
Holbein! I was annoyed that they didn't come wrapped in paper btw...(I wrapped them myself) -Prof Lieu
Hello Art Prof. What paper do you use and what's your watercolor's brand? 🙂
I honestly can't remember what paper I used, 😂 It was a watercolor block, cold pressed paper, I'm going to guess either Winsor and Newton or Arches. -Prof Lieu
