Hi David, I have a tip for people like me who are clumsy. I haven't been pouring long and have knocked over paint after taking time to mix them...so frustrating! I just saved an appropriate size amazon box and put my cups in while I am pouring. This prevents me from accidentally knocking them over and I can just pick up the whole box and move them around. I hope this helps someone else out like it helped me. It is great for working in a small area. Take care:)

@ooohlaa13 2 года назад

dunno how I missed seeing this, I love the suggestion of not too many changes at once ... it is very hard to cultivate awareness of what's happening with multiple and random input ... I love how you demonstrate minutiae of what's happening, things which my untrained eye would miss but are so helpful. Lots of times I get caught up in the excitement of the pouring process, and then I like or dislike a painting but am left with What happened? How did that happen? etc. Being aware is so important and big part of the discipline. But also I love seat of the pants style, both valuable.

@LeftBrainedArtist 2 года назад

So true Barbara. Sometimes you need to just go with the flow and let that energy out. Sometimes the meticulous step by step approach gives the most value.

@pJo2973 2 года назад

David, you can use gesso instead of acrylic paint. The only difference is that gesso is thinner than acrylic paint. Also you can use bamboo dish racks to separate your paintings. It keeps them apart and also keeps down the possibility to get scratches or dents. People also need to understand that oil breaks down plastic and if the don’t clean the oil off then they will eventually see the paint flake off or better yet find something other than oil to make cells. Hope you can use that information in the future.

@maryjowarskow2141 2 года назад

Great tips! One more comment to prevent waste. If you are just trying a new technique, you could consider doing it on an acrylic sheet instead of a canvas. That way you can clean it off and try again instead of wasting canvas or using more white paint to start fresh. If you really like the end result you can still display it on the acrylic.

@LeftBrainedArtist 2 года назад

That is a great tip. I've never thought to use one of those although I have used panes from thrift store pictures before which is similar.

@MommaBearsCorner Год назад

great tips! when i stack, i still always cured or not, but wax paper, paper towels, or plastic pvc sheet between them. if i store any its either wrapped in box or still wrapped stacked in plastic tubs... i have one tub i put canvas redo;s so when i need a canvas to try something or test or even out, i go to that tub. here is a great tip from Momma Bear... ... i use a certain shoe rack to stack and dry my canvas on. That way they are safe and drys dust free. i have one tall shoe rack with a cover on it. it has a dozen shelves. Comes with a pull over nice zippered cover that goes over the whole unit. i stack small ones at top, and larger ones at bottom on the shelves next to one another pending on size of canvas to how many you can get on a shelf.. it helps keep dust off them, even if i can not fully zip it closed, if the lower ones have bigger ones in it. Its also very reasonable priced to use as a canvas drying rack. Think i paid less than 40 bucks at amazon for it. not bad... :)

@paulthomasshepherd5156 4 месяца назад

Reducing Air Bubbles. I avoid storing paint in squeeze bottles because air at the top of the bottle might (not sure yet) mix with the paint when being squeezed out. So I use jars with lids where I can pour my paint out without the air mixture. Also I can clean lid jars out when needed. Also with lid jars I can stir my stored paint to keep it consistent in storage but with squeeze bottles I would have to shake them and cause more air bubbles in the squeeze bottles. I find lid jars as the best way to store and can still pour right from them even from large storage bottles into smaller bottles for immediate or next day use. ___Paul in Maine

@LeftBrainedArtist 4 месяца назад

For those like me who have a small work area like kitchen table tops. Once my table top is covered, If I want to move my paint around with an air gun it could splatter everywhere. So what to do? Cut three pieces of thin plywood, or even cardboard, a foot or two in height, Set them up in a U shape and have them surround whatever you are painting on. Connect the back piece of cardboard to the two side pieces of cardboard with a wide strip of tape. This will give you your u shape that will stand up on its own on your table. Also, by forming the U shape with tape it can be folded and stored easily in one pre-made piece for next time use, ___Paul in Maine

For stacking my glass on its side (glass is strongest on its side), my hubby drilled holes in the shelves and ran dowels down through the holes. It works great.

Another very useful video (I thought we'd never see the back of that shirt lol), thanks so much to you and everyone who contributed. Points arising: 1) Have you tried Windex for removing silicone? I've seen some people suggest it. 2) Recycling - someone just gave me several boxes of tiles they needed to off load. Guess what I'm painting on now. I'm also painting on vases from dollar store or thrift shops. 3) I have limited space so do stack my paintings but in a recycling way. I use pizza trays. Put a painting in each one and then stack them at right angles so no painting is in contact with anything. Works great and takes limited space. Thanks again David for another informative Saturday.

@LeftBrainedArtist 3 года назад

Using a paint calculator is amazing. I didn't know you had one, so I've been using Olga's. Still, I feel I didn't have enough paint so what I do, in regard to her calculator, is I take whatever amount it tells me and add 2-3 more oz of paint and that always seems to be perfect. It depends on the size of surface, of course.

@LeftBrainedArtist Год назад

Yup, the calculator only gives a baseline. You have to decide how you like your paints and what works for you.

Number 3 for me. You just explained why the edges of a painting I had put resin on had little ruffles around the edges. I did use silicone. So I’ll try to redo. Thank you for these tips.
