I'm currently living in a draconion Asian country where the lockdown has been in place for 8 months. I have some acrylic paints and brushes. I've been very depressed as we now have to have medical tests, travel passes and wear face shields as well as masks even in our own front garden. I'm going to survive this by losing myself in beauty. I don't know if I have the ability to master tropical seascapes but I'm sure as hell going to try. I have some plywood pieces to paint on so here goes!

@@julesking2347 use this time to master your skills!! It’s all I can do in the US as well, I do what I can not to go out, so I’ve been doing videos for you guys, hopefully I can help someone better their skills! This virus sucks!! But I’ve been painting everyday, so my advice to you is to keep painting, and experiment with different styles until you find one that fits you, stay loose and forget details, that will come later!!

Thank you very much, and I’ll try to incorporate more oil videos as well since there seems to be a demand! Thank you for watching!!

@@GebahiArtworks Yes, I noticed that your oil videos seem to get more views and likes. But, I hope you continue with the acrylics too as it is hard to find good instruction in acrylic painting.

Chris W I’m actually happy to hear that, my channel will be dominant with acrylic painting tutorials! I’ll do oils once in a while!

Thank you very much Julie, I have another coming very soon!

Thank you!!

Thank you very much! I tend to use 8x10’s for demo’s and for sale!

Thank you Mohammed!! I used regular heavy body acrylics.

Any time

Thank you for watching Lynn!! There is a whole range of colors you can achieve with a limited palette. I would keep pthalo blue and ultramarine blue, those two colors can reach a wide range of colors! And by keeping a limited palette you will achieve colors harmony and learn how to mix a variety of colors as well !

Thank you Wolfgang!!

@@GebahiArtworks Well, I used to live in Canada for 5 and a half years, so I'm able to follow your instructions. And yes, i think you're a great artist! I'm a beginner (mostly oil colors), but videos like yours are more than helpful! Thanks a lot for doing this job!

@@wolfgangbrehm5189 I really appreciate it!!

Thank you very much!!!

Flats are more flexible than brights, that’s good for soft body paints and glazing, but not to move paint around as much! I use them anytime I need a soft touch. If you have to spread paint around than go with brights!

I do on my more recent videos!

Chris W yes, sometimes I draw out my subjects, but I use vine charcoal instead of graphite. Vine charcoal erases nicely and mixes fine with your paints without leaving marks!

Hi Chris, glad the video was able to help some! About the water, yes, it is correct that too much water will somewhat weaken the bond structure in the binder but I don’t use as much water on my brush as you think! I actually keep it just damp, just enough to make it flow easier. And when I glaze i do the same thing, and I put just enough paint on my brush to cover what’s needed and wipe off the excess while the paint on the canvas is still damp, and that will show like a glazing effect! You can also purchase glazing medium if that helps. Thus far I haven’t had any problems with paint coming off or flaking off, or peeling! With time and practice you’ll be able to gauge the amount of water. Let me know if you want to know anything else! Thank you for watching!!

It can be with Gesso, but if I remember, I used Kilz 2 sealer/primer from any big box store! Works great. But if you use gesso, use at least 3 coats. You can also use Shellac to seal the wood and then gesso .

That’s great info - many thanks .

@@robinbest4786 anytime!!!

I’m sorry Phyllis, I don’t! Thank you for asking!!

I’ll have more videos out for you hopefully soon!

Hi Alicia, the panels have borders, so you can frame them or just add a wire in the back,! There are quite a few other options as well.

@@GebahiArtworks Thank you .

I do on my more recent videos!

Thank you Li, I just use water, nothing else. I will have a video on a mixture I’ve been using lately that’s been working great, almost like painting with oils!

Sorry Christine!!

Thank you, check out the new videos, much improved!

Thank you Joe, have at it !! Let me know if you need help.
