these videos were very helpful, thank you!
👏👏 thank you!!
I'm curious of yellow ochre will do the same job? I have lots of that. My son just got his first apt and some of the furniture is very mcm and I'd like to paint him something... but in blue tons he like, with black.... not too busy or fussy, I feel like I have an idea, but overthink it and can't get it down on the canvas before I've lost it🤦🏻♀️ he's coming home next week so I need to hurry😲🤦🏻♀️ But thanks for this. I love Yellow ochre for mixing, but wouldn't have thought to use it in all the colors for that age look I like :) thanks a bunch!
Yes! Yellow Ochre will work perfectly. Good luck with the project for your son!
@@arrangethis thank you!!!!
By jove....I think you've got it!
I want a modern mid century art piece for my home but can't find anything I like. I have no idea how to paint but I will be making my own art with my toddler. 😁
Thank you so much that you shared this essential secret - I am so in love with midcentury modern … maybe cause I am born 69 ☺️
Good to know. Thank you!
Sorry, I just have to say, I think retarders and wetting agents are considered additives, not mediums. They change the chemical make up of your paint as opposed to acting as a softer or less viscous medium or the opposite. Mediums are basically paint without the pigment, additives are used to completely change the way your paint react and interact.
Great vid! Well explained, to the point and enjoyable... nice one!
Stacey, if no one has mentioned this to you so far today, then let me be the first: You're a genius. You really are, that is a fantastic tip! Thank you so much!
Great trick
Can you do a textured mid century modern DIY art? This was super cool. Thanks.
Nupsi Ola thanks so much for your comment! Tell me more about what you’re looking for in terms of texture. There are so many amazing textures that came out of the MCM era! Want to make sure I understand what you’re looking for 😄
Wonderful
