@@davidreames384 thanks for your comment David! I have learned from my errors, and I too have been a victim of too much linseed oil when oiling out. It’s important to only oil out the area in which you will be working, and dilute the oil when possible. Solvents have their own problems, but I find this recipe to be rather effective. Just give it time to soak in, and wipe it away carefully. The solvent evaporates. Obviously, only use this on a dry layer of oil paint. Anyway, I appreciate your comment, and also for taking the time to watch the video. And thank you, David Kassan! Please stay tuned!

@chrisclampart Thanks for the response! I am going to experiment with Walnut Oil as you said it is less likely to yellow. I will keep you posted.

@@davidreames384 walnut oil is great, and it is great to use in lighter areas. It’s a beautiful medium. Actually a preferred medium of Leonardo da Vinci. Best wishes!

@@dianneparks3625 thank you so much, Dianne! I take this all so seriously, and I am delighted that you enjoyed it. Please stay tuned! <3

Thank you so much, Dianne! I am delighted that you enjoyed the video and decided to subscribe, and leave a wonderful comment. You also ask a good question. I do not know the long term effects of varnish on Arches Oil Paper, but I have tested it and it seems to be fine. I used Gamvar Gloss on the surface, and removal of the varnish seemed fine with Gamsol. The finished oil painting on AOP is actually very matte in appearance, so the colors are very sunken. Adding a varnish definitely brings the colors back, but it isn't as rich as an oil painting on a traditional prepared surface. While that may sound disappointing, one must keep in mind that this is a very different material and it should have its own unique look and properties. That is something I love about AOP. It reminds me of the appearance of watercolor on cold-pressed watercolor paper.

@@chrisclampart Thanks for your in depth answer, Chris! I use Gamvar Gloss. as well as Gamsol, with my oil painting and am really anxious to try out the Arches Oil Paper - can't wait!

@ it’s a wonderful product, and I’m delighted my video has helped to provide you with some information. Happy painting!

Hey there! Thank you so much for the comment. I am delighted that you liked the video. The suggestions that you make are absolutely correct. There is no real need for the Arches Oil Paper to be behind glass. I just have found that if the paper isn't "prepared" in advance for framing, it might be treated like a typical work on paper by many people. Like you, I prefer to frame my works on Arches Oil Paper without glass, so what I do to "prepare" my work on paper is I mount them in advance on a wooden panel with BEVA 371 Adhesive Film. It isn't entirely necessary, but I like the firm surface, and the option to just frame them in a standard ready-made frame, or a floater frame. I have a video on BEVA 371 Adhesive Film, so check that out if you are curious. Again, thank you so much for the comment!

@@chrisclampart Thanks for the reply Chris. Great vid on the BEVA 371. I can see your logic there with the work on paper. Makes perfect sense.

@@kiritsi100 Thank you so much!

Awesome! The X-Files definitely is the best show ever! Thank you for your comment! So, I have used the Carson Oil Paper, and I do enjoy it as well. I prefer the Arches Oil Paper due to the absorbency and the texture on the surface. It just seems to work better with my style and technique. If you have a chance to check it out, give it a test, You might really like it too.

Hey Katherine! Thanks for your comment! I hope that the video on BEVA film has been helpful. It is a magical product, when used right. Yes, I am all over the place these days, and UA-cam has become a very important part of the equation. It is a lot of fun, and connects me with a greater audience. I hope y'all are doing great!

Hey Sean! Thanks for the question. Your solution is going to be cheaper. Currently, at Blick, Arches Oil Paper is $9.08 per 22x30 inch sheet, and that price goes down when you order 10 or more. You can order a 9x12" pack that has 12 sheets for $19.98. So, perhaps a slightly better value if you consider tearing the larger sheet down. Regardless, the paper is very absorbent and you get some wonderful effects with oil paint. If you are able to get it at a good price, you may like it. However, your solution sounds good too. Do you ever see any oil staining on the back side of the paper? Thanks!

@@chrisclampart no the glue seals .

@@seanfaherty good to know! I will try out your method soon. Thanks!

@@chrisclampart not my method

@@susanhughes2705 thanks for the comment! I am delighted you found it informative! Stay tuned for more!

@@ShelleyHannaArt haha! Well I do wear some strange shirts at times! Thank you so much for watching!

@@MichaelMills-m8f thanks for the comment, Michael! Great question, and perhaps this is something that I should touch on in a future episode. So, when showing with a gallery, it’s a good idea to have some discussion regarding this with your gallery. Some galleries may want an exclusive relationship, which means all of your artwork is consigned to them, and they will then consign the artwork out to other galleries on your behalf. The main gallery, with exclusivity, will typically get approximately 10% of sales from the other galleries, while you, the artist, will always get 50%. This is a way that the main gallery can control the direction of your career and grow your market, while also taking a cut. However, most artists will just handle things on their own, but it’s still a good idea to have an understanding with the other galleries. Some galleries want to be the only gallery within a “X” mile radius of each other. Some galleries will want to be the only one in the state. While some will want to be the only gallery within the region. Southeast, Northwest, for example. But showing at multiple galleries will certainly benefit you, the artist, because your market will grow and diversify. I hope this helps!

@@MichaelMills-m8f thanks Michael! Congratulations on having a gallery approach you. That is certainly exciting, and can lead to a very longstanding relationship down the road. A good gallery relationship is much like a family connection, and I want everyone to experience that. I am glad that the videos are helping to explain some information regarding the art world. I will keep them coming, so please stay tuned, and tell your friends to check out the channel!

@@LL-xv1gt highly recommended stuff!

@@southernbawselady7092 thank you so much!

@@susanhelwig7340 thank you so much, Susan! I’ll be dropping a new video soon. I am delighted to know that the information is helpful! Please spread the word! Thank you!

I'm old, and Google did not exist when I was in art school. Things are easier now, but many still don't know. Anyway, I hope you learned something from the video. Thanks!

@@jamescowgill4039 Thanks for your comment, James! Yes, Arches Oil Paper is a wonderful product. It does suck in the oil paint quickly, but once you get used to that, you can build up some nice effects and some beautifully soft transitions. I have been mounting my oil paper on sealed wood panels with BEVA 371 adhesive film before working on them. It takes some preparation but very worth it.. I have a video on my channel about that product, so check that out when you have a moment. Happy painting!

Thank you so much!
