Yes keep up the choice hacks wild I'm kay I'm a kiwi from nz rotorua city to buy from the US costs 3 times as much delivery is 2 n half months later cos covid. So stressful to wait. Nz prices thru the roof man to be an artist here. So have to buy cheap but quality here. Wild your hacks are awesome though so I'll keep painting. Other interests junk journalling very creative.wild wot would be quality paints here,as I just buy from the dollar star there's about 6 in our city an all shop around its crazy man.
@@WildCreates hey just some further thoughts - would you store you paint vertically or horizontally, hang them up by the tail or by the top pros and cons ? FY Consideration
@@WildCreates do you have any tips for mixing paints? When I mix oils the colors seem to never come out the way I want them. They are always way darker then what i set out for and sometimes i cant even get basic colors to make new colors. Could u do a tutorial for oil?
You can find some on art stores, like Blick and Jerrys ( check there ) or you can always make your own version with contact paper. If you dont mind painting on wood. You can always get a pre-cut wood oval.
Great vid bro ! Love how you used dope lol. Love sponge brushes , actually use them for mountains sometimes too , instead of the knife . I'll start using your the wax paper idea now. Definitely would like the " dagger " brush vid please.
Yes - Sadly your not gunna like my answer ha ha ha Its all about practicing over and over... When you paint and paint, you will learn what elements require more or less paint. However you raise a great questions for how to load your brush properly... Perhaps I should make a simple video on that.
A plastic shower curtain spread out under your painting space will really save your floor. I also cover my chair and the table holding my paint with clear plastic or garbage bags, tape it down so it won’t slip. You can also use butcher paper on your table. I also sit my cleaning bucket down in a rectangular tote along with my beater tool.
The plastic shower curtain is a great idea ( I might have to steal that and claim it as my own) - I personally use an outdoor patio rug ( they are really cheap when you buy them at discount stores like Ross and Big Lots) Provided you dont care about ugly designs ha ha ha
Man, I love your stuff! (Just found you). I wish you would start a Twitch Channel that actually does painting nd technique as they are rare at best! Keep up the awesome work and videos!
I actually do that on twitch on Wednesdays on my channel - Its on a little hiatus at the moment cause I am moving my stream room around trying to make more room for painting. So stay tuned :)
Yes you can Isis BUT make sure you are same about it. Some things like thinners evaporate vapors ( so outside trash is best, so you don't breath it in ) ALSO, somethings like linseed oil can ( under the extremely right condition ) catch on fire easily or combust (even though its rare BUT want you to be safe). So make sure you dispose of it in the right way. I hope that help
Glad to help you out on your creative journey! We will call it even by you subbing to the channel - This way I can continue to help you stay creative with your awesome life 💪
Late to the party. Just wanted to say thanks for taking time to make all these videos. 45yrs old and spontaneously dropped 400$ to see if I could paint. Been a huge help. Although I should put macaroni on my paintings since they look like a Pre K child made em

How do you clean the towels? Or at least get them soft & fluffy again? I can see they are heavily stained with old paint, do you just let the paint dry and then use the hard and crusty towels next time? Surely they can't go in the wash. Thanks for all the great tips!
They will never be fluffy again ha ha ha ha.... I never wash them cause I dont want to ruin my washer :P They are just junk towels for the soul purpose of cleaning paint. At sometime they will build up so much hard paint on them you just have to toss them ( No point in washing them) - I hope that helped you out :)
You really do have a beautiful head of hair!! I don't know what to look at your paintings or that hair lol Dang I need to start writing all these tips down! Never heard of pumis soap, interesting! Can u do a video on liquid white vs liquid clear I think I've only seen one or two videos from Bob ross using liquid clear.. do you like using liquid clear?
Ladies love the hair he he he 😜 Pumic Soap is great for cleaning all the mess you will get on your skin and sometimes clothes while painting! For LW and LC - I have 2 video that might help you out: LW: th-cam.com/video/ZpI0Rz6XpcU/w-d-xo.html LC: th-cam.com/video/KKaIkb7Jtkc/w-d-xo.html
@@WildCreates Wow your awesome!!! I can't say this enough but thank you for all your videos, love your enthusiasm and all the effort and energy you put in making all these amazing tutorials! You've done Bob Ross proud 🙏😎🎨🖌
I don't do portraits so I am not much help there - BUT there is an awesome artist on TH-cam that has great advice on it ( th-cam.com/users/AndrewTischlerArt ) check it out.
Dawn Soap is great ( use it all the time ) But It can struggle a little bit with the super strong colors like Deep Blues on skin, which is why i mention the pumice soap :)
This angled brush looks interesting, so yeah, a video would be nice.🤔 Already wondering how to hold it properly. So you're cleaning your brushes with soap - do you use the original BR brushes? Bob always said that you should never ever use them with water, that's why I don't buy any of them. When I started painting last autumn I first bought paint thinner and omg I really can't stand it. Studied chemistry years ago and found out I am very sensitive to solvents and chemicals which vaporate. Even if I can't smell them I start to cough very quickly. Would I have to use the "odorless paint thinner" Bob advertizes I couldn't paint at all. Took me some weeks to think and google for alternatives, because I know all these old masters had no can of turpenoid lying around and still managed to clean their brushes. Are there really brushes which get damaged by water? Or is it a myth placed so that you buy his solvent as well?🤔🤔 ** EDIT oh I get it you use the soap for your hands not the brushes. Still curious if its possible to damage the hairs with water tho.
Odorless thinner still produces vapor (just doesn't smell bad )! So I think you still might have an issue with it but can't say for sure. You can clean your brushes with water but you would also need to condition them if you do. Its like your hair on your head. Washing with soap and water makes the hair brittle THUS the brush hairs can break over time (ruining the brush). By conditioning them, you keep them strong and they last longer.
@@WildCreates Yeah figured that out with the vapors myself that's why I didn't even try it in the first place. My hair hasn't seen shampoo or conditioner in months😌 I switched to a healthier cleaning method and after 2-3 weeks the hair regulates itself and doesn't need any type of conditioning. And since my bathroom is now 100% plastic free I won't buy any conditioner for my brushes. I could try vinegar. It's used to smoothe wool when you wash it with soap - the thing is, once your brush is clean, a bit of soap is perfect to shape your bristles and keep them like that, especially with the round brushes.🤔
@@WildCreates I use oil for the rough cleaning and then use soap - but I haven't found a brush soap yet, I'll look if I find anything similar to your product once the soap bar is empty. If not I'll just continue with the soap, I get free samples from time to time when ordering other stuff at a soap manufacturer and most of the time don't like the smell - so my brushes are cleaned with high quality, luxury vegan soap😂😂
Thank for sharing this informative video. God bless you.

Hi Wild, have you done a session on how to store your paints. I would love to see how you have your station set up.
You know what.... I have never really talked about that.
Let me see what I can do in a future video.
Thanks for the suggestion.

@@WildCreates cool. Good idea . Haven't tried it yet , but maybe cutting the sponge into shapes to make different type of brushes ? Hmm
Seems like a little interesting hack - I might have to test that out too :)
Do you have any tips on loading brushes with paint? I am having issues with either too much or too little on my brushes.

Is the dagger angle brush natural bristle or synthetic
All my brushes for oil are natural and for my acrylics its a mix of synthetic and natural.

Just doing what I can to help use all out and be creative :)
Can I still use wax paper to blend colors using paint thinner & linseed oil? Can I dispose of it like any other trash?

Can i use saram wrap instead of wax paper 🙂
You BUT wax paper is way better, since the saran wrap will most likely break when you take a palette knife on it

Thanks ur great! One more question, can i use spray paint on oil paints?
Lava soap works beautifully to get paint out of your hands and the brushes. It also conditions them at the same time.
Lava soap is great. Just got myself a new bar the other day
Also Dawn Soap is Gentle on your hands and skin and really gets the paint out of your brushes
Dawn Soap is great ( use it all the time )
But It can struggle a little bit with the super strong colors like Deep Blues on skin, which is why i mention the pumice soap :)
a little addition for beginners: towels and turpentine can be very dangerous! It is prone to spontaneous combustion!
This is very true but also kinda rare - a lot of conditions have to be met. BUT always be practice safety when around chemicals.
This angled brush looks interesting, so yeah, a video would be nice.🤔 Already wondering how to hold it properly.

Ha ha ha - Gotta give them a little extra love 😝

Angle n dagger brushes are different dude ..google it 😜
just stressing the fact to get any tapered brush will help a lot 💪
What if I use nylon brush what's gonna happen
In what aspect are you referring too?
@@WildCreates ummm i dont know sorry im late again im busy preparing my studio
ooops, that isn't a dagger. It's an angle. Dagger's 'angle' is much steeper. Just saying.
Yeah when doing YT thoughts get jumbled 😜
