Hi Sue, sounds like you've had a wonderful time. This is what I love to hear and makes all the effort to produce videos so worthwhile. I'll be doing my best to include all the tips and tricks I've learned in future videos. Thank you for the virtual coffee clink back p.s. The coffee cup link works world wide - Paul - I have to go because Poppy Cat wants my chair 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes, Josh. I started with just the very basic kit because that's all I could afford. Necessity taught me to use what I had to the very nth degree. It was more by luck that this turned out to be exactly the right thing to do. Once I had mastered those first 5 colours and brushes I felt it was time to explore. But I only added a brush or two at a time. So here we are a lifetime later and I'm still just using the same basic kit. Carry on being creative and sharing your work. Happy Painting - Paul 😃😃

@PaulRansonArt thanks for the words of motivation as always Paul. And P.S are we getting another "Spooky" style painting this year ? I really enjoyed the last one

Thank you Gwenyth. I'm continuing the Autumn theme this week. Hope it comes out as well as the last one😃🥰

@@PaulRansonArt sound great Paul! I’m sure you will do fine 👍👏😍

Hi Erica - yes the little touches make all the difference. I wish I could spend far more time on them but deadlines are ever present. Which reminds me ... I should be painting 🤣. Love to you from the UK - Paul 🥰

Hi dan, I'm glad to hear that! Oil painting can be a rewarding journey, and I'm happy my video is helping you progress. Keep up the great work!😃

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words and support!😃

I think almost any painting can be adapted. This on in particular would lend itself to being done entirely in acrylics. Give it a go - Paul 😃

Thank you so much 😀Hugh

Hi Darla - my other half is a lovely watercolour artist and uses a Stay-Wet palette for her paints. Water mixable oils are a strange combination of oils modified to accept water molecules in their mixture and then evaporate again. Maybe a damp atmosphere would keep the surface hydrated and prevent skinning over. I mostly use traditional oil paint and work quite quickly so it's not too much of a problem. But if I do need to take a break I cover my palette with cling film ( Sarran Wrap ) and pop it in the freezer! The atmosphere in a freezer is incredibly dry and airless so oils just go stiff and can last months without drying out. 😃

Great tip - I usually use some old pastel fixative but I forgot - in too much of a hurry to get started. Think I'll do another one soon. 🤔🤔🤗🤗😎😎

I used a 16"x 20" canvas - its my usual size ( good for video). But you can make this scene fit any size you have. Happy Painting - Paul 😃😎

Yes, painting is definitely my happy place. It can be a little stressful but that's the challenge of making videos too. The painting and filming are fine its the editing and post-production that takes sooo much time. I thought I would be getting a little quicker at it. But as I learn more I want to try and do more too. So onwards and upwards. Bright autumn leaves are everywhere. Have a lovely week - Paul 😍😍😎😎

Thank you for your thoughtful comment, Konstantia! Every step truly matters, and it's great to see that you resonate with the journey. Best wishes from the UK - paul 😃🥰😎

Hi Amanda - sorry my voice puts you off. I'm naturally quietly spoken. My voice tends to drop the more I concentrate too. I hope you can enjoy some of my more recent videos. I've tried to change my presentation and use fewer narration in the video. Best wishes - Paul 😃

Thanks a ton, Graeme! So stoked you liked the tutorial! Turneresque vibes all the way! 🎨✨Paul

@@PaulRansonArt Thanks Paul. 😊

Thanks so much Andy. I'm happy you enjoyed the colours in this painting. It was a fun one to create! - Paul 😃

Hi Kenneth - high praise indeed. In a world full of technology and demanding deadlines ( to name but two ) - I find great peace in simply painting. I look forward to making many more tutorials for you😃

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the comparison-it means a lot to me! Kind regards - Paul 😃🥰😎

Ahhh the wave shape took me a while to crack. The challenge is that it is all so fleeting and changes constantly. But with practice you'll get better and better. Keep on having fun - Paul 😃😎

@@PaulRansonArt I was going to do two waves, crashing into each other, but thought bit much, so went with the one main one. The sea next to me, always gray, on studying the patterns, seen the 2 waves crashing into each other that i was going to attempt, the only thing i picked up on, was getting the fold right, as in, no actually a wave pattern as such, its on the over flip and backward fold, that's the two main points to capture... Overflip as in wave coming in over itself, backward fold wave going out back to sea, to create the over flip. I will try again, because its learning how to capture it to paint, so looks as should...

@@PaulRansonArt in basic terms, the already crashed wave, that's the now out wave/ripple, that kind of determines the size of next wave, to capture that would help me with dimensions of wave in-coming... But is no really right and wrong wave pattern...

@@HellRainGod actually 'seeing' what your painting is the biggest challenge. Sometimes we need to simplify a scene just to make it work as a painting. It's a trap I've walked into all too often. And not all photographs make a great painting. But we live and learn. - Paul 😃😃

Brilliant Vicki. How did the brush cleanup go? The water mixables would be OK but did you use any thinners for the Liquid clear? Thanks Paul 😃

@@PaulRansonArt Hello, just a quick thought about the water mixables and using liquid clear.. there is a water mixable friendly alternative to the liquid clear. It’s Winsor Newton Artisan linseed oil. A teeny bit goes a long way and is compatible with the water mixable oils.. 🖌️🎨👍

@@SRTW67 yes Stephanie - that's the way around not using any solvents. I bought some water mixable oils during the Covid lockdown so folks could paint at home. I also bought the water mixable linseed oil. I made some videos too. Maybe I should revisit the subject for this week's tutorial? What do you think? Oh and thank you as always for your very kind coffee cup donation. I think I might do a painting using just acrylics as well. I have a few things to test out so I know where I'll spend the money on supplies. Have a great week and we'll meet up again soon - All best wishes and a big arty hug - Paul 🥰🥰🥰🥰😎😎

Hi Alice - Thanks for watching. I used a 16" x 20" canvas painted with light grey to tone the canvas down. Its the basis for almost all my paintings as white is too stark and makes the paints overly bright. But, this painting can be adapted to any size or shape of canvas. Have fun creating your own masterpiece - paul 😃🥰😎

Thank you so much 🤗Linda - Paul 😃

Thank you so much 😀Sylvia - yes a nice lively chat last night. And how about that a goat. I'll have to work on a suitable alternative for the art world. Have a lovely week - today looks lovely to be a duck and not a goat. 🥰🥰😎- Paul

@@PaulRansonArt haha ducks indeed paul it's certainly a wet day in good old London town ,not an old goat to be seen (unless I look in the mirror 🐐 🪞 😀 🐈🐈‍⬛🐶

Aww, thanks! You’re making me blush over here! Oh you mean my painting ...🤣 Thanks Nikki - Paul

Hi and a great question. I dry clean almost exclusively when I'm painting but I always wash my brushes at the end of a painting session. I'm very (very) fussy about looking after my kit. I use Zest - It brush cleaner as my skin doesn't like odourless thinners. And never ever use white spirits! It will destroy your artist-quality brushes. Hope that helps - Paul 😃

Hi sweetie - thanks for stopping by. I always want to stay awake to watch your Wednesday Friends Day paint along but I'm usually up the wooden hill when it starts. But your channel is just so good. @annietroe - love and big arty hugs - Paul 😃🥰😎

@@PaulRansonArt We miss you! BUT it is just too darn late where you live. Who knows, some day we may go back to an earlier live stream time. THRILLED how well your channel is doing!

@@AnnieTroe Thank you Annie - no matter I get to wake up and have tea with you instead. Oh that sounds a little creepy now I've typed it out 😂 but you get my drift. Yes, the hard work is slowly paying off as the channel grows. Your doing great as well with all the traceables, patreons etc and making great videos. Where do you get the time to do it all? Now, back to the easel for this weeks production. I have an idea .... big hugs to you and Emily 🥰🥰 - Paul

@@PaulRansonArt It is all very time consuming and fun!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to know the instructions were clear and helpful. Lots more tutorials to come - Paul 😃😎

Hope you enjoyed it Dan - Paul

Thank you so much for your kind words Danyel! It's wonderful to hear that you're back to painting after so long. I’m not a full-time painter, but I love sharing what I can. Keep at it, and you'll find your rhythm again! Best wishes - Paul 😃🥰😎

It's a neat trick I was shown many years ago by one of my teachers. It's so helpful when laying out planes in a scene to keep you from straying too high or too low. Happy Painting - Paul 😃😎

Hello Katya I'm so glad you love this style! I'll definitely make sure to create more content like this in the future!😃 Paul
