Trying OIL PAINTING with only 3 COLORS 

Are you interested in seeing longer slower process videos on Patreon?👀🎨

Temi’s reaction when she sees the oil paintings will be my new favorite GIF

“I hate to see her go but I love to watch her leave”- Temi She’s so good at any type of art seriously I don’t know how!

I feel like you dove right into "hardmode" by doing a realistic portrait with red, yellow, blue, and white! It's amazing what you were able to achieve when you needed to mix those colors on your own. I wonder how much easier it would have been if you did have a burnt umber and/or black to be able to adjust your color tones without needing to work at keeping the hues consistent. You did a great job, it's a beautiful picture of you and you made a beautiful painting out of it!

No matter what she does it always looks good. Don't I just love her reaction when she says "oilsss" and when she swatches.

I respect you so much for not trying to explain your emotions about receiving the black creator award. I think people are often pushed to explain their feelings before they’ve gotten the chance to process them themselves, so it was amazing to hear you say that you were upset but you weren’t going to expand on why because you hadnt had enough time to fully process it yourself

“I have no technique here, just vibes” mood

When mixing blue and red paints to get purple it will always comes out darker then you want (or muddy like you said), all you need to do is add a little bit of white to get the purple to look good

Love how Temi's always ready to try new art supplies.

Solution for the mineral spirits smell: using linseed oil instead. Basically, there are two different things you can add to oil paints to make them more liquid, mineral spirits and oil medium. Mineral spirits work by breaking down the oil in the paint with alcohol. Its really good for cleaning paint from your brush or if you want the oils to dry really quickly, but the fumes are intense and it can start dissolving and lifting layers of paint already on your canvas if there's too much in one spot. Oil medium is more of the oil that is used in the paint itself to hold the pigments together until they dry, linseed oil is the most common type. Oil medium can take thick oil paints from a little bit more liquid to a thin glaze to tint an area. Adding more oil will increase the length of time it takes for everything to dry though. mineral spirits isn't actually what you wanted to use to thin out the paint. Rather to thin out oil paint and make it more liquid you want to use an oil medium, like linseed oil, with your oil paints. Mineral spirits are called paint thinners, but they thin out the paint by breaking down the oil - which is exactly what you want when cleaning your brush, but not so much when painting. Plus linseed oil doesn't have the same fumes problem spirits do. You still should work in a room with air flow, but you're not gonna get dizzy just leaning over your palette for too long.

Your artwork is amazing

I love hearing her voice while I’m doing art It’s so relaxing 😌

More oil painting portraits please!

You're such a goddess when it comes to colored pencils, that it's adorable to see you so intimidated by other media! Except girl -- you OWNED those oils! Amazing job!

Congratulations on your achievement Temi and the painting is stunning!! PRADA YOU!!! 🎉💖💖

I always wanted to get better at drawing or painting, I keep watching tutorials but I never understand. Then I found your channel and watching you compare, do tests, challenge yourself, explaining what your trying to do. It really helped me learn, I take notes in my head and besides it’s way more interesting than some tutorial. Anyways I just wanted to say thank you and that I love your art ❤️

Well done Temms! 🤗 Great to see you pick up some paints again after such a long time! I can totally relate with the messy pallet, I have no idea how other artists neatly mix and organise their paint colours, especially the way they make using a palette knife look so easy! 😂

I’ve been waiting for you to upload you are so talented girl!!!

This inspires me to get out of my comfort zone and explore new medias 🗺

Me watching the video Me also looking outside watching the storm in the uk

The painting looks sooo good

I love your art and your sweet voice 🥰🥰🥰 So inspired by you 😊

Yes Temi you did so well I was scared with you at first

Wow it turned out so beautiful 😍

I’m sure it’s not the first time someone’s mentioned it but Jebus your artistic skills are fire but your ability to do anything with nails that long. QUEEN

Wowww Temi! I love how ur trying lots of art, it’s breathtaking so amazing. I’ve been waiting patiently all week for this!!!😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Absolutely love your personality♥️💞

Hi Temi ! I've watch your videos for a while now, and I just wanted to say that I really like your content and you, of course. You have a great personnality and a lot of talent(s) ! You often make me smile, so thanks for that ! And if I may, I think you are really beautiful (and your nails, girl, I can't ♥). Keep up the good work, wish you the best ! Kiss from France ! ;)

'I hate to see her go but I love to watch her leave' TEMI LMAO 🤣💖

It came out really well, better than I expected. It's inspiring seeing you challenge yourself to new/different things and work with constraints like the number of colours.

With that limited colour palette you created a masterpiece. Girl I'm convinced you're a genius

That was so incredible! I can't believe you were able to achieve such a realistic portrait using red yellow blue!

Amazing this was on my recommended and I don’t regret clicking and subbing!

This is exactly what I want to do too. A saw a girl who only oil paints with 5 colors, red, yellow, blue, burnt umber, and white and I thought it was an incredible way to learn color theory, and her art was so realistic it was unreal 😂😭

Congrats on your achievement! Also, I love this portrait! The fact you were able to do something so beautiful with only 3 colors blows my mind! You are so talented ❤

Beautiful painting. Great channel x

Yesssss oml im so excited for this I love these boxes ❤️❤️

Expanding your horizon!! Lovin’ it!❤️🤩

You are so good temi no matter how many paints and/ or suplies you have, your art will always look so good!

The portrait is beautiful! It’s great to see you work through the learning process and difficulties.

This painting came out stunning!!! You did amazing! I love your work!

It came out so good and a really relaxing process but those nails are just so cute

This looks gorgeous!!!

Wow! Your portrait looks amazing

The painting turned out GORG. Love your art Temi

Temi you absolutely killed this girl 😩❤️ you’re crazy skilled and talented!!

at this point i cant complain about my supplies, it’s just me

Wonderful oil colors! The only one I'd add is raw umber. It may be just me but I find a cool brown easier to warm up with red or yellow than to cool a warm brown, especially with ultramarine. Also, Gamsol is a lot cheaper than most brands. You do need to ventilate your area well, though. I think your underpainting color was well chosen. In the video it looks like a good midtone compared to your hand. Letting the underpainting show through a bit is one of the strengths of doing an underpainting.

This turned out really well. I was really curious about how you were going to manage it being a color pencil artist, but you did pretty good. Made me want to give oil paints a try myself.

This is sooo cool. I am a huge fan of your art and you're so inspiring

I love how she says how bad it is but it is amazing!

Wow 😍 You are so talented, the painting turned out great despite your initial fear. I've been in the hardest and longest artist block. But this was so encouraging. Thank you 🤎

I'm so excited! your mystery box videos are amazing temi I love seeing you try new things and ace them love you lots have an amazing day

This is so good really inspiring me to start my art journey on RU-vid 🔥😍

I was so excited for this video and I missed it! Glad I remembered to check your channel for it :D

Absolutely gorgeous work, what a lovely expression of joy! Thanks for sharing ☺️

Weirdly if you look on the website it says there are only *supposed* to be 5 water soluble Lyra crayons. They cheaped out. Perhaps they cheaped out on the Burnt Umber too. In case you ever need oil paint thinner again, just go to the hardware store and get thinner there for cheaper!

You are just amazing ,i love ur artwork. Still imagining a heart from you ❤

I actually prefer working with only the primary colours. I also bought burnt umber, but I don't really use it because mixing the colours is one of the fun parts about painting.

I'm sorry there was sadness around receiving this award. I'm glad you were able to capture the joy in your picture. I love your smile.

The result is fabulous!! I really want to try oils this year, so this is really great resource! Thank you :)

CONGRATA ON 300K!!

*I know Temi isn’t sponsored but I’m gonna buy these boxes now*

I’ve never tried painting, but this is making me want to give it a go!

You are so talented Demi.......i love all of your videos

Beautiful! YOU DID AMAZING!!!! 🥰🥰🥰😍😍 Makes me want to start oil painting again. Hehe.

Even the underpainting is so well done, Temi! You should give yourself more credit I was lucky enough to learn about underpaintings in high school, it makes a big difference. And your mixing is done well too!

Her being confused and exited about oil painting Me : how can 4 colours make that !

ZORN palette! Anders Zorn was almost exclusively known for portraits, using yellow ochre, ivory black, vermilion and white - supposedly you can mix any skin colour!

Hi Temi! I’m a new fan of yours and I paint with oil paint pretty frequently. I started painting with acrylic first though. I normally use 2 yellow, 2 red, and 2 blues usually. Your painting looks so amazing when it came out!

When I paint, my under painting tends to be in crazy colors. So like if I were painting a face I'd use reds, yellows, and blues to form the face and provide an undertone that will help the skin tones have depth. Maybe trying it that way will help your issue with the underpainting you did here as well as your urge for more color when working with a limited pallet.

This is how I learned to oil paint :P I had the primarys and white and didnt allow myself new colours until a year or so of strictly primary colours

Temí you are totally adorable. I love seeing your videos. So glad I found you.

It looks photo realistic!! amazing job!!

PLEASE DO MORE OIL PAINTING VIDEOS! THIS ONE IS AWESOME!

YOUR HANDS ARE SO PRETTY!

Omg I live the finished product

One word, beautiful. I enjoyed every second of this video.

Wow Temi! That is amazing!!! Well done!

Love this so much, esp how a whole palette was made from just three colours. Mary sanche has this amazing underpainting video that explains that concept beautifully. It helped me understand why and how to do it.Its on guache though but I think the colour concept can be applied to oils as well.

Your nails are soooo pretty I am in love with the colour

I literally love ur vids

Gosh!! I love your channel. 😍😍

Your Art is amazing ❤. Love it!

Only 3 minutes in and this is officially my favorite RU-vid video 😂 I already know you’ll do something awesome!

But the final product was NOT one of a newbie! Turned out so good 😁

The pencil queen conquers oils!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

beautiful .i would love to see more oil paintings .It's like this is your expertise that's how beautiful it is . I use gloves when doing oil or acrylic painting to protect hands unlike when we do coloured pencil art

Temi you are fun to watch I love your art 🖼!

This turned out amazing and if you wanted to capture your joy - you absolutely nailed it. I've been looking forward to this video since you posted the count down on instagram 😅 I would love to see you do more oil painting/ try the supplies from the other box for sure :)

I've always been so scared to try oils but I think you did so well!! Great job 😊

i love your vids love you so much your my faveroite art youtuber

Congratulations! I'm happy for you.

Hello from Trinidad! 🇹🇹 Love your vibe and art!❤

Amazing, Temi!!!

You’re hair is beautiful in this video 😍😍😍

Congrats on your achievement!

This was nice, I love the end result

You did a really great job! You're a master of portraits with 3 colors. I will try one day, but it is hard for me because ı am addicted to using many different colors.

Your artwork is awesome
