When it Rains - Oil Painting

Thanks. Needed that today.

This is something like 3 hours condensed to 10 minutes.

@@LarrivaArt I know that you are probably saving your best for your patreon, but throw us a bone sometime.

$1 access IS a bone, all things considered. Also, I'm not sure what y'all want to see. I'm not particularly interested in teaching the basics of oil painting. Plenty of that out there already, and my self-taught self would probably steer you wrong. I'm on DSL so I can't upload 3 hour videos, and I kinda suck at video production. Is your avatar Iria? I just started watching that last night.

@@LarrivaArt I have no idea why I made her my avatar, but I watched her once many light years ago and probably affected me so much because she was everything that I was not at the time; aka brave , strong and beautiful. Anyways, I am a fan of your style because it reminds me of Malcom T. Liepke.

Thanks. It's wet-in-wet until 7:59 then it's a new glazing layer. Early on, loose painters like Sargent, Zorn, and Sorolla were big influences. Also, Norman Rockwell, J.C.Leyendecker, Rembrandt, and Lucian Freud. Super generic list here, I know.

There was no worry for me, because with the dry paint beneath I could always wipe away any new oil paint that didn't work out.

In addition to pre-planning my palette for easy use, I'm using the fat-over-lean principle. So fat paint(paint applied heavily or with more oil/medium in it) will go over lean paint(thin paint with less oil/medium). I really load my brush for paint that goes over other paint, so much that the bristles might not even touch the surface. I'm also using solvent-free gel medium to allow the paint to be heavy yet soft.

Thanks! I'm "oiling out" with some walnut oil and a little yellow paint to knock back the purples. Oiling out brings back the original sheen of the oils before they dried. I'm also selectively glazing some dark paint over the face because it helps in the adjustment layer to sort of start over, working from dark to light again, and not keep anything too precious.

Thanks. I'm using oil paints with walnut oil and solvent-free gel.

Sure. It looks like Titanium White, Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Orange Hue, Napthol Red, Phthalo Green, Phthalo Blue, and Cadmium Yellow Light.

Thank you a lot.

Thanks. I'm using solvent-free gel, which makes the paint a little softer without losing body. The oil painting "rule" goes, "fat over lean," which means paint with more fat(oil/medium) will flow over stickier paint with less fat. You can spread jelly over peanut butter if you're careful, but spreading peanut butter over jelly is a lost cause. Also, brush pressure is important for not mixing.

thank you for this quick respond, i really appreciated. im barely new to oil painting and currently work with watermixable oils from winsor and newton. just yesterday i ordered some different mediums to experiment a little. i really enjoy watching your videos, hope to see more of them, also the voice over one was really cool and informative. :)

It's a just a little walnut oil to make the surface less thirsty and slightly slippery.

LarrivaArt thank you for your return and thank you for your works

Thanks. It's solvent-free gel: amzn.to/2MtzdgG

Phthalo Blue.

@@LarrivaArt Ah, of course! Thanks!

Hi Belén. I don't think there's anything inherent in the oil paints themselves that would make them dangerous to breath short of sanding dried cadmium or lead paint into breathable dust. The fumes come from the turpentine or mineral spirits typically used with oils. I'm sensitive to these spirits myself, so I stay away from them when possible. Instead of rinsing my brush in mineral spirits, I use food grade walnut oil. I've also learned to paint without thinning the paint much, and when I do it's with the walnut oil. Linseed oil would be fine too, since it's also a food product. Good ventilation is important when using spirits. An open window near where you're working is good. Adding a fan to help exchange the air would be better.

Thanks for the reply John-- that was very helpful. I went to Blick's yesterday to get a starter set of tubes and the lady (who paints) also gave me a few tips to keep the smells in check. I'll keep walnut oil in mind for sure. Keep up the awesome work, you're amazing! :)

It's hardboard, also known as Masonite.

LarrivaArt I imagine that it is previously painted with a gray tone and once dry you apply some type of oil and on that wet surface you begin to paint , is that so ?

You got it. Gray acrylic, then a very thin application of walnut oil so the surface isn't dry to paint on. Not a necessary step, but I don't like too dry of a surface.

LarrivaArt ok, thank you for the speed in your answer, I think your style is great at the time of starting the portrait, the way to simplify the forms, as if it were a comic to be shaping later, away from hyperrealism endowing poetry to your portraits, I will try to take some of your work and apply it in my illustrations, thanks for answering and a greeting

Yep. Just a very thin application of walnut oil so it's not so dry.

No. You're thinking of Shirley Manson.

My people.

:D

Didn't look like this before I stopped drinking, sadly...

all this passion and emotion in her eyes and on her face make her very beautiful
