- Applying Acrylic Paint Base Layers with Oil Based Mediums. A foolproof application I have devised for my abstract works is to always start first with acrylic paints and let them bone dry. I will then start applying my oil mediums above to create deep richness using glazing methods of applying thin washes of color. Ultimately when I finish I will spray my work with a fixative or apply a matte varnish to larger paintings.
Enjoy the sequel of this end of the video where I describe the advantages of creating artwork in a series! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I've watched all of your videos. I hope everybody will do the same. Love your constant creative experimentation.
I think you've discovered a perfect way to speed your work up a bit without any compromise in the quality of your work.
Right now my 3rd floor studio with a clay tile roof is as hot as a brick oven & I'm hoping the temperature cools down a bit soon so I can get back to work.
Stay Safe...all who read this. 😁👍
Thank you, you are a great supporter, and stay kool, this week we will feel like turkeys in the oven!
Beautiful. I like that you did close ups. 😊
up close the dynamics are so much better, more to come!
Armen, these new pieces are incredible. The layering and marks and stunning. I landed on your channel and decided to try the oil sticks and R&F blending and thoroughly enjoyed myself while creating, but since this is my first time with any oils, I guess I wasn't prepared for the smell and how slow drying it can be to work with. Can you tell me if a fixitive spray would help with both issues? I think the smell bothers me much more. I create in a small apartment and after one attempt, I don't think I can continue to use these mediums if there is nothing to do about the aroma, but it is fun to use and the depth of color is beautiful, just as you show in your works.
Sorry the smell is creating a reaction, tell me what you are using for color and the brand, I may have a solution.
@@armenkojoyianart Hello, I bought am using two that Blick had on sale, Sennelier Artists' Oil Sticks (Alizarin Green Lake & Madder Lake Pink) and one Shiva Oilstik Oil Paint (Mudstone). I did watch a review video where the artist said they also thought the Sennelier sticks had a bad smell that bothered her too, but the Shiva didn't as much. If you can share a recommendation, that would be very helpful, I really enjoyed using them.
Some folks are much more solvent sensitive. I know that my wife certainly is. You might try one window fan blowing room air out and another pulling fresh air in. And then as soon as you're done working on a piece - get it out of the house and into a garage if possible. I hope things can work out for you somehow.
They look great! How do you apply charcoal and then put a glaze over that without the charcoal smearing?
Actually I want the charcoal to blend or disappear when I apply paint, since I know I am going to work over these layers with oil pastels, oil bars, and glazing techniques.
The charcoal is just a disappearing guideline for me.
@@armenkojoyianart I agree. Love working with charcoal for that reason. Just thought you had come up with something magical to keep charcoal stationary haha. Sorry I misunderstood what you meant initially. Your work is beautiful!
Thanks for support, when I want my dark lines to show thru and create a more powerful effect I then use china markers, grease based pencils, thin oil pastels, anything that leaves a more permanent mark.
Are these the paintings that started with the cardboard brushes?
I did use them for broad base layers of color, then as I work up the nuances and try to finesse color I shift to the bristle brushes, I hope this helps.
@@armenkojoyianart yes, thanks. They look great!
