Acrylic VS Oil Side by Side EXPERIMENT 

when is the oil set is coming back in stock????

There are no acrylic in your website

Great work Kevin, do you have Instagram?

Kevin ...good technic tip chat. But i got a suggestion; could there Be less showing of your neck & More of the close-ups? I paint and use combined technics. But for the young and novice the close-ups would help them alot...thank you again 🏁👍🌏🌎🌍☝🙏😁🏁

@@quetzalflight5790 - Yes, angling the camera from the right more would help. :)

You won't ever be able to if you don't keep trying. So - keep trying. I've been doing this for nearly 60 years now = success isn't guaranteed,but you're much more likely to achieve it if you keep plugging away at it. And anyway - it's fun!

LOL!!! You will be amazed what you can do when you try, I know I was. :)

Stan, I bet you can!

The trick is to keep trying! I did my first painting today and yea it was ok but ive learned to always look at it and think "hmm what can i do to make things look more real" and before long u will be painting great! U just have ti keep going!

Hahaahhaha

thank you for the advice! it's always so good to see people that truly love doing art. i feel inspired

Thank you for the advices sir

Awesome advice for a beginner like myself!

Bless you

Hi Robert, why do you need to keep separate sets of brushes?

Its ugly

I appreciated it

@@crustykrab1990 You ugly

those are printed labels, as he stated at the beginning

I thought that was edited.

Only know did I realize that yeah, the lack of an armrest while painting does add a challenge!

you will see that soft focus glow on oils after few years. just like the old paintings in the museums.

Oil is realy beautifull 👌🎨

My eye keeps going to the acrylic. Crisper and less “congested” maybe.

@@yuvtube1 or spray the acryllics with finisher and you get same glow

I wanna be painting with portraits oils but I'm scared of the toxicity so I'll buy acrylics :/

@@ondra_rx732 what?!?!? What do you mean with toxity. I just bought some colours without the cleaning water tho. I wanted to clean the brushes by myself with soap

@@ondra_rx732 wait one question. Is the oil paint itself toxic or the cleaning water you need to buy. I thought its just the water cuz of some chemical stuff

@@_eyedex_3563 both apparently, but the water is more toxic so I reccomend you to paint somewhere with a good ventilation

@R. Ahern oh ok, I knew that the mediums are toxic I just thought that the oil paint too but a less toxic

*snort* good point! 😆👍🏻

HA HA HA one point of course to be looked at I suppose...

Now I'm going to be looking over my shoulder!😂

Wow that's poetic and some cool wordsmithery. I like it.

yes but if someone master arcylic it will look like oil. but still oil is KING. but depending on the style or whatever yo're trying to do, Acrylic is very versatile too. thank you.

He put more time in the oil one

@@gardenglory6624 I think acrylic and oil can be indistinguishable, but oil lends it's self to smoother texture and acrylic to harder texture.

@@gardenglory6624 it sucks to work with acrylic,it dries so fast.however with oil it blends very well but on the other hand i takes time to dry,you can also use a solvent to make the dring process go more quickly

I use acrylic and I think there’s a way to get rid of the harsh edges by blending them with water , acrylic can turn into water colors some times 🤗

its not worth the trouble using chemicals to clean brushes and thd thought that its all too commercial selling oils.

@@eduardochavacano tbf acrylic paint does contribute to microplastics in water so all mediums will have one disadvantage

@@eduardochavacano Oil, dishwasher or artists’ soap should dilute or clean them decently if the usual option is not safe.

@@halodp9161 You're correct. However, we can reduce the amount of paint that gets washed off brushes by using a paper towel to remove as much as possible first. Once acrylic paint is dry it becomes inert in a landfill. Water in a container that you've used to rinse brushes does present a problem. All this said, it's still safer than the chemicals in oil paints and cleaners. Between inhaling the fumes and the old rags used for cleaning, which are flammable, I have chosen not to paint with oils. Acrylic paint is also more economical to buy. As well, younger children with a penchant for painting can use acrylics safely. My grandson is 5 and loves to paint with both acrylics and watercolors.

i love the convenience of acrylic, only reason i might try oils is that with acrylic sometimes its hard to get smooth blending, it just gets kinda streaky with more transparent colors, maybe more opaques blend better....i mean if the end result of oil is not really much superior than why would one not keep using acrylics....

I hope you get better m8. Get well soon♥️💕

I agree,,,,he sounds so much like the late great mr.rogers..they both have that calm rich deep soothing voice..

I agree definetly oil much bette for painting and also for a hyperrealistic approach?

It´s not necessarily using turpentine, there are odorless thinner, but the important thing is to paint a real good painting, not how long it takes to dry- in climate weather, in 2 weeks you have your painting really dry. The first time I used acrylic it disappointed me, and in this year 2019 I come back to acrylic pushed by the advertisements saying it has developed in texture and color, but it is the same thing than when I painted in the past (around 1987 I guess). The acrylic have a lot of downsides, such as you cannot amend colors after it gets dry, and man, it gets dried in a couple of hours, so imagine from one day to the other! Also it have less capacity of mixing colors, and once it´s dry you cannot blend a thing: you must create other colors and apply on top. Oils its king. So good bye, in my case, to acrylics.

And looks more realistic

yah! he is great...😊

Mix gloss medium into your blend. when the ptg is finished, use a light glaze of gloss medium over it. Let it dry completely before varnishing. Your basic color blends will pop. And never thim you basic colors with water.

That happens because you are not using the primary colors. The primary colors are magenta, yellow and cyan. If you mix red with blue you get mud, not purples. Another thing to keep in mind is that you can make any color with the primary colors, but these mixed colors have a limit of how strong they. Because we don't have the perfect magenta, yellow and cyan. For example, the red that comes straight out of the tube is a stronger red than what you get by mixing magenta and yellow.

What solvent do you use?

Detail more about the solvents. Thanks in advance! PS: it isn't just the solvents that are bad. Oils are toxic as well.

If you are having dullness of color with your acrylics there are a host of mediums that you can add to your paint, or for placement dip your brush in. Also, never use water as a thinner because that will dull acrylics. There also are gels and mediums to slowdown drying time.

" lots of linseed oil " stuart is always saying it has an additive though, its not just linseed on its own.

But is it ok to just paint oils straight out of the tube? I think the mediums is what scares people away from oils. You said solvents are not necessary, but most people still end up having to thin down their paints. Not only that, but there is the fat over lean and other issues. I prefer oils myself, but I admit, its rather challenging when it comes to mixing the perfect amount of mediums. Not too thick, not too thin

Put a link with ...

Please can you tell me Kevins surname? Im trying to get him on pinterest..

that is cuz in the oil painting the rocks cover more space on the bottom/front so the background is pushed farther back due to illusion of space.

Which first to apply acrylic or oil on canvas?

Indeed !

I agree with you but I mean if you're using photoshop you can download custom textured brushes or scan your own textures and making them into brushes.

grab a canvas. grab some paint (start with acryllics as its easier on the beginner.) put laptop or tablet next to you and play pause paint pla pause paint along with him. it will give you joy and confidense and the feeling of how to do it

I definitely understand you. Cheers

I Agree!

I’m kind of similar but on the opposite end; I tend to prefer painting acrylic so that I can be done with the painting and on to something else without getting bored or losing interest in the project altogether.

@@Tucke20k2011 how much time do you spend on one painting?

Same!!!!
