How do you avoid breathing in toxic chemicals when oil painting? I have a very small studio and I can't seem to avoid it even with all the windows open. Thanks :)
I was suuuper stressed out for whatever reason before watching, but these videos exude such a calm atmosphere, and its always nice to think about painting. Thanks for all the advice too!
Does ual teach traditional methods of painting and drawing? I’m a 1st year student in cca, currently doing my painting course online in my home country. I did my summer course as an alternative to my foundation. I’ve never been in school yet because of the pandemic, so I don’t have a clue of what studio life would be like in cca. So I was wondering if they teach skills or atleast have seminars. By the info which I’ve gathered, there are very few schools that teach classical art. I’m getting a feeling that cca might also be one of those that don’t teach classical skills.
Unfortunately absolutely nothing within the actual course itself. They had some life drawing sessions and also you could of course ask questions to tutors and book some technical sessions with the technician if you had questions. Other than that nothing 😭 I was so disappointed that a Painting course was teaching nothing regarding the practicality of painting, I learnt through copying other artists, experimenting and focusing on getting better at planning/drawing independently.
@@수아조-c1j Focus on taking out equipment like DSLR cameras, learning how to use all the different expensive machines, wood workshop etc once the university opens again. Those skills all come in useful when it comes to the workplace, documenting your work etc. Try and prioritize using equipment that's difficult to get your hands on outside of the university context 👍🏼
So thankful for this video😊can’t wait to watch the course. Q: do think there’s a future for traditional painting or art in general, I love painting but I'm afraid of prsueing it professionally when all art path switching to digital
A bit of a silly question - I don’t have much space at home - Would it be ok to paint in spaces like the bedroom? I know the chemicals / smell of oil paint would require a lot of ventilation. Anyway, thanks for the video :)
It'd be okay if you have good ventilation and aren't sensitive to the chemicals. I'd just be careful if you have oil paintings drying etc in your room you'd be breathing stuff in while you sleep.
@@TomasFolanHasici Oh well...it doesn’t sound like a very good idea to use oil paint in the bedroom 😁 for the moment I’ll try to use other materials, such as acrylic paint?
Wh6 do you like to stretch your own canvases out of curiosity and a genuine interest in becoming a better artist? Do you find the experience of creating a lot better? Is the quality better that way? 😊
As in what material? At the moment it's 12oz cotton duck canvas. It's cheaper to build a stretcher and buy canvas to stretch on it (if you want a good quality surface and frame) and you can control how you treat the surface (how much primer etc you put on). In the future if I can afford it then I'll get others to do it because it's time consuming lol 😂 other than that I feel like it's the most affordable way to have good quality canvases to work on.
@@TomasFolanHasici sorry, I meant why? 😅 I'm sure it's probably more affordable to make it yourswlf and you can choose all your favourite materials and size etc. And maybe it has a deeper meaning to the maker and collectors to know that even the canvas and frame was made by the artist. I was just wondering if there were any other reasons or if you found that the quality was better than branded ones etc.
@@n.ee.h I think it's more about just really understanding the medium you're working with and controlling the surface you're using it on. Everyone has their own preferences/techniques - I find that buying cheaper or even medium priced canvases come no where near to the quality of the ones you can make yourself (thickness of the frame and the quality of the canvas). Regardless being an artist is just bloody expensive lool.
OH YEAH. Leave q and a questions on this comment for my 2000 subscriber special 👍🏼

Any chemicals you recommend for breathing in?
Can you see any links between what you tended to draw/paint as a child and the subject matter of your work now?
If you could have a conversation with any contemporary artist today, who would you chose and why :)

@@TomasFolanHasici The disappointment... tuitions are expensive, I'm concerned that my 30k B.pounds are being flushed down the toilet for nothing.

You're welcome, good question! 😁
This is great ! What do you use for your digital painting ? Photoshop on an ipad pro ? Thanks
Photoshop 👍🏼
