Cant up-thumb your demos enough! Love the way you merge spontaneity with a broad end plan. All the best! Could not agree more that painting is an adventure. Infinite spectrum of purpose and chance via canvas
i knew it was linen! i used the only one i have last night and thought about Sheehan. such a difference. i might never use canvas again. such a difference. now i have all these canvases i want to get rid of. i have so many unfinished pieces.
I enjoyed this video - I have one question. When selecting paints for a nice monotonous contrasting painting - is the keyword Im searching for -- transparency ?
Hi Dennis. I'm fascinated, watching you painting in that way. I would like to know what is the medium you use at the beginning of your painting; is it turpentine, oil lin, or liquin ( the mixture of oil lin + turpentine + Dammar wernish)? Because I try with oil, but the upperpainting colors slips. I try turpentine, but the colors melt in a bad way. Or probably is the quality of colors. Mine are too hard, strong.
hi Dennis I really love your work and I'm trying to learn from you.... One problem I often encounter when using linseed oil is that it tends to get difficult to put painting on the canvas after it is already wet.. A lot of times when I attempt to paint tree trunks the paint won't even come off the brush and will instead take paint off the canvas.. This is odd to me as I have often seen you apply the paint so liquified that it actually drips down the canvas which is even more liquid than my paint... What am I doing wrong?
Alex Vorm When painting "wet on wet" you need to make sure that the paint on your brush is thinner than the paint on the canvas. Try adding just a drop of thinner to the paint before loading your brush and see if that helps.
