Ive start playing with Georgian water mixable oils. After using acrylics and house paint for years, but studying oil painters, it's such a welcome sea change and feels much more forgiving and painterly :)

If the solvent free fluid is stickey what do you use for you thin underpainting layer? Also what is the fluid good for? Is the gel to help with drying the oil paint faster?

What do you use to clean your brush I when actually painting ? I’m new to all this !

I will literally pay you $1000 if you draw more Pokémon on your UA-cam channel😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Chris, this was very inspiring. I hadn’t thought about matching the music to the painting I am creating. Such a great idea! Thank you for this video!

Fantastic video!! Thank you so much

Thank for all the wonderful and helpful tips. What would you use to put a light cover of paint on your canvas instead of using gamsol with oil paint to thin out?

Very nice and simple explanations of fumes free oil paint process. Thank you. I Love your friendly and calm energy.

Are the 20 or so sheets of paper left in place as part of the drawing surface?

MY GOD YOUR AMAZING

So beaitful🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

How do you clean the brush in between painting strokes, in one session?

That is absolutely brilliant well done

❤❤, ❤❤,

Thank you, simplifying my subject. I needed that advice. Keep up the good work in these videos.

What about olive oil? They are semi-drying.

When doing the layers, do you have to let them dry every time? Or can you start your next layer while the one you just made is still wet?

Excellent video. And really useful!! I've been using W&N Liquin Original for a while, and I like it because it speeds up the drying of the oil. But I'm worried it's not healthy. Please, can you tell me something about the drying time of Gamblin's Medium Solvent-Free Gel?

How about a list of what to use from start to finish?

What do you use for your underpainting?

That Gamsol stuff doesn't convince me. The only thing it says is that it doesn't smell. That doesn't mean it is not toxic...

Are you talking about solvents or medium? solvents are needed to clean your brushes but not for painting.

Who😮

Thank you for tying this truth together. My best works have been when combining the emotion to the subject. A straight up portrait, bland, but add a mother gazing into her childs eyes, master piece! I love painting flowers, they represent to me the beauty and shortness of life. Often taken for granted. How do i tie this idea to the painting of say, a rose? In older times, adding a time piece, a candle, a skull alluded to the passing of time. In modern times I simply draw a blank. Have you any ideas? Your videos are fantastic!

Please ditch the annoying music

Thank you so much for sharing alternative ways of creating beautiful art, without using toxic harmful substances. As an artist I completely get it, because I got really sick from using all the products mentioned in this video. Creator didn’t give artist this gift to make us sick!

This video confirms I was on the right track when I switched to non-toxic oil painting. I clean my brushes more often just because I don't want leftover pigments creating undesirable tints in colors I'm mixing. I hadn't thought about not snacking on paint right out of the tube, though. Maybe I'll just keep some pistachios or cashews close by for emergencies.

can we use Olive oil?

Why is he naked?

Love this! Is it important to have a good stack of paper to prevent the clips from digging into the foam board?

Surely each subject bares a separate colour wheel….

Great video Chris - thanks! Just one question though about the types of brushes you place in the oil bath. They all looked like flat or filbert brushes, but what about rounds and riggers? I use those pointed brush types quite a lot with oil painting. Wouldn't they become permanently misshapen, i.e. the points damaged, after letting them stand on their tips in the oil bath? How do you deal with those brush types? Thanks!

Thank you so much for this. I am new to painting traditionally and I was wondering if I could use the Winsor and Newton oil paints with the Gamblin products. I'm not even sure if Winsor and Newton are safe to use honestly or even Paul Rubens oil paints.

I have been trying not to use solvents. I use ivory soap to clean my brushes. Cheap tip from my art professor. After I finish my current tubes of cadmium paints i plan to switch to the hansa versions you shared. Thank you. Also, I have just been using linseed oil or a mixture of linseed oil with damar varnish recently to make my paints thinner and more flowier. Do you think that is ok/enough or do you think i should be using some of that solvent free gel? What would be the difference in outcomes? What is your reason for not just adding linseed oil may I ask? I had to cringe with the don’t clean your brushes though ;) I can’t enjoy doing that but i do wipe off as much paint as i can then brush the rest out against a bar of ivory soap and water after every session. I have had the same set of nice brushes for 22 years. The only brushes I’ve had to throw out were ones of which a friend of mine’s little daughter stole/took and carelessly smashed/ splayed all the bristles.

Hi! When you are washing your brushes with soap, you do it over this sink, right? Is it safe to do so? Im a beginner oil painter, so thank you for the video😊

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Chris, thank you for this informative video. I was hoping you'd elaborate on ventilation in the studio in winter. But you suddenly switched to Tip#5 :( It's winter Down Under and I'd love some more advice when you have time please!

Hermoso 😮😮

Thank you! I’m just getting in to oil and I’ve been a bit hesitant to start due to the toxic solvents. So this helps a lot 🙏 Is there other oils you can use besides safflower oil? I’m in a tight budget so can’t afford it atm and it seems hard to come by here in Norway. And if so can you still add clove oil to keep it from drying? Again! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ❤

5:46 yeah sure... try to paint with that yellow that iits 100 times more transparent than cadmiun. But its ok, use what you want.

Great review. I’m a gambling, serious… how to replace colors like cadgreen or cadreds and cad yellow

Water mixable oils, no problem. You soaking them compromises the attachment in the ferrule.

How long did you spend on this?

I just started oil painting and cleaning the brushes has really put me off, I was thinking about going back to acrylics but I’m going to try out some of your tips!

Very interesting! Thank you

Is there a reason you start with speckled background?

Thanks so much Chris - very helpful! I wanted to ask about orange solvent? It says brush cleaner, but I will be using the safflower oil as you recommend, but, have used it when I need to remove paint from a canvas with a brush. Do you know if the citrus solvent is toxic? Thanks again!
