Did you know that you can actually create REAL texture on a watercolor painting?
I'm trying out Schmincke AQUA modeling paste for the first time to see if it really can create a sculptural surface capable of handling watercolors.
To demonstrate these effects, I'm going to try and recreate Van Gogh's most celebrated painting "The Starry Night" using this combination of Schmincke aqua modeling paste and watercolor paint!

This was a lot of fun to watch. Van Gogh had a very tragic life, and in my opinion this is the painting he did that reflects it all. When you were talking about how dark everything is and how he managed to always add glints of light it made me wonder if that is also how his thoughts were at the time of painting this. It's a beautiful recreation, bravo Emily ❤

@sueallen952 Год назад

He also had cataracts and wet macular so everything was dull to look at, I have both and colours seem duller than they are, your central vision goes in the end.

@caressegarcia Год назад

@@phillipstroll7385 The circumstances of his objective reality were very good, sure, but it's certainly apparent that his subjective reality (in terms of his thoughts and emotions) was deeply troubled.

@mulanlovesmilo Год назад

What a unique and interesting way to use watercolors! Starry Night is at MOMA and it’s always interesting to see how the crowds behave around it, because nearly everyone waits in a bit of a messy line to take selfies and immediately leave. I always want to hang around and study the brushstrokes, the edges, the blending, color choice, all the tiny “imperfections” that were left behind that would probably drive me mad personally. It’s a great reminder to be kind to yourself and that the feeling a painting evokes is far more important than any singular brush mark. Thanks for the inspiration!

@EmilyOlsonArt Год назад

Yes, even after this experience of recreating the painting I know I could never create something like this out of my own imagination!

@anitadavidson1266 Год назад

What a fabulous comment, and I couldn’t agree more! Being able to stand relatively close and truly look at this painting is a joy to behold! I often feel sad when I remember that during his lifetime, he was viewed as simply a madman who used weird colours in his paintings… True genius is so often not recognised until it is too late. ❤️

@sherizapara2992 Год назад

Youre version of "Starry Night" is great. I DID get to see an actual painting of his in S.F. a few tears ago..it was amazing!! I cried, knowing i was standing, right where he had during the painting. It was an awesome tour of his works. I loved it!!

@EmilyOlsonArt Год назад

Thank you for sharing such a touching experience!

@cindyp.9030 Год назад

Wow, that was a lot of work. I would never attempt anything so complicated myself. I have to say you did an amazing job on this painting. I don't think there is anything that you can't paint.

@EmilyOlsonArt Год назад

Thank you, Cindy!

@mjpete27 Год назад

Very interesting Emily, I believe Liz Chaderton has a homemade recipe for watercolor ground that uses Modeling paste + Clear gesso and if you wanted to add a bit more paste you could make more of this kind of surface without the added step of prepping the surface with the ground! I think using watercolors first for washing the colors into the texture and adding if you needed more surface texture color. Glad your still trying new techniques! I have not seen this painting in person, but I did see one of his sunflowers painting and it is truly luminous and so beautiful!

@ChantelleArts Год назад

Well this was fun! I could see how much fun you were having, Emily. Nice rendition of Starry Night too. I agree that it would be fun to try this paste using watercolor's more washy and wet in wet characteristics. I like how I could see the more watery washes sink into and darken the crevices. That alone could be a cool effect. Thanks for an entertaining video and a good look at an interesting product.

@EmilyOlsonArt Год назад

Thanks so much Steve! Yes, I agree-I’m going to need to try another painting and see if I can draw out some more fun watercolor characteristics. (You’d be awesome at that, btw!)

@kathyvangogh4034 Год назад

Nicely done. I do think it would be interesting to see it done in a more “watercoloury” style. You have inspired me. I might tint the modelling paste the colour of the burlap he often used as canvas. Then let that come through.

Starry night is over wonderful painting. Although I have not seen it in person, I did teach psychiatric patients how to paint it. It was a lot of fun especially when they thought that giant cypress tree was fire. I really enjoyed watching you carving in Starry Night and would like to try this as well. You are a great inspiration!

Hello Emily-I have never seen the “Starry Night” painting. I have seen VanGogh’s Irises. The interesting part is that photography does not capture the vivid blues and purples adequately. It is a beautiful painting!

This was a superb video, and that paste is a simply a tub of magic!! You did an incredible job and I hope to see it hang on the wall behind you, or hope that you display it elsewhere within your home, as a reminder of just how far it is possible to push watercolour. I have actually seen this painting in person, and I should say that it is an astounding piece of art, that is hard to show, even with high resolution photography, which is why I feel you did such a terrific job. I am in awe of you… ❤️🎨🖌👩🏻‍🎨👏🏻🙌🏻

@EmilyOlsonArt Год назад

Thank you so much, Anita. Such a generous comment! ❤️

@Blick_Art Год назад

Wow, that was amazing! The manufacturer's product information lists this as an "acrylate dispersion" so the formula appears to be similar to an acrylic modeling paste, but obviously it accepted watercolors really well, which standard modeling paste often will not. We think it was a good idea to use the rigid panel for this, because although many modeling pastes work just fine on paper or canvas, thick, continuous impasto works best when the support doesn't flex. We're so glad we got to see this product in action- thanks!

@EmilyOlsonArt Год назад

I agree about needing a rigid surface. This could verily easily crack on a flexible paper. Glad you liked the video!

@Bluegreen7Pau Год назад

Hello Emily, thanks for your great tutorials and introduction to materials. I would like to see a video for using masking fluid.

Fantastic work! I've been lucky enough to see Van Gogh originals at the Musée d'Orsay. Starry Night is not there, but his Starry Night over the Rhone is, and in it he used a similar technique for his stars. Maybe you'll get a travelling exhibit in your nearest city!

See that you used the paste for texture did you really need the watercolour sub straight. After watching you add the paste. I get the water colour sub straight is for assisting to paint on a panel that is not meant for water colour.
