Welcome to my studio! I’m a full time contemporary-realist portrait painter based in Canada. 🍁
At the start of my career I learned A LOT the hard way! 🌏 My goal is to share everything I WISH I’d been told back then! 🌎 Especially the easy eco friendly painting practices that for some reason NO ONE TELLS YOU!! 🌍
I specialize in old master and photorealistic oil painting techniques, portraiture, and tutorials on painting materials/studio practices. 👨🎨
well im just getting linseed for my the first time oil painting, because mineral spirit aren't available in my nearby store, so only using linseed actually mattes?
I've never been able to listen through hue, value chroma explanations, but your's with the background music got me there, dunno why tha is, but anyway thank you so much for making this video!
I like them both for their differences.. Sometimes I'll use acrylic paint when I'm wanting to paint for a fandom. Such as a anime or a video game character. (It dry and quicker also makes it a lot easier to go back and make fixes) But I love the richness in the color of oil paint and how realistic it looks. I generally keep the oil paint to landscapes or anything realistic. (It is absolutely a different beast when it comes to mixing and painting with oil.. but once you learn a few interesting techniques it's not so bad)
Maybe a heat gun would help dry put the paint? Could rig something to keep heat on it but not too much. Afterward take a chisel and scrape off what you need. Chisel works like a charm
Natalie signed the back of your canvas and dated and number it and keep it inventory but also use some gas so and some hair from your hairbrush and that's always proof that you actually painted it
excuse me miss what did u do there with hardboard? i have like 50 pieces of hard board but i felt like theyre not very good for professional pieces i want to sell
That artists have natural talent. No, artists have natural *interest*. They are interested so they practice and think for fucking hours. That's why they're good. I was never always good, I became that way through practice. Anyone can be an artist if they're invested in their work. Talent is acquired.
Not every high chroma pigment came from the industrial revolution, though. Carmine was known for hundreds of years if not longer, as was lapis lazuli which is thousands of years old, and verdigris though impermanent is man hundreds of years old. There's also tyrian purple, but of course no one could afford it, but there was also egyptian blue which was quite available in ancient times. Dragon's blood red is also fairly high chroma and it too predates the industrial revolution.
@@dorisroseart thank you! Right now I have Golden acrylics that my stepdad gave me from his old Job. I have like 33 big tubes. But they’re all very strange colors because they were colors the company specifically used. Idk how to use those either. Do you do acrylics also?
Im glad I'm not the only one who was secretly like fuck these things idk whay they do and im too stubborn to look it up even if my go to insult is "google exists"
I've had this happen to me personally I had some linseed oil rags I boiled some wooden boards they were like a paper towel style rag and I had a lot of them on a flatbed and they spontaneously combusted and melted the weight I had set on them grease nutsert container thankfully it didn't catch on fire though I see it spontaneously combusted but I never technically got flame it got really hot though hot enough to melt plastic not much to go from that to flame though but it was outside on a flatbed so no real risk but it was a good learning opportunity
No matter how advanced you are, how professional we become, there is always something new to learn! Beginner artists: never assume you know it all. If you are always open to learning, and keep yourself humble, nothing will ever stop you!!
