    Love the fact that you talked about clear coating in depth. This has caught me out before in the past too. Never rush the final steps.

      I know right... I still get nervous before clear coating.

    great work as usual. I have found that in my artwork if i sand the clear in between coats, the finish turns out amazing , specially after you get a good buff in the end. Just a tip. really love the work Fieldey

    Hi Fieldey.. I like your art work.. I was especially interested in the guitar art. I have had this idea to do an acrylic pour on a guitar... I d9nt really know anything about that kind of thing, so I have been watching UA-cam videos to try and get some direction... from best type of paint to use to best clear coat that preferably dries really hard. I would appreciate any tips you are able to afford me. Thank you in advance, and keep making great videos 😊

    You're right about clear coat curing - I just had one burn through during buffing because the underlying coats weren't properly cured. And when the art is custom, that is a serious setback. Tonight I have to strip the entire body, re-sand, Gesso again, sand again and then paint the entire piece again. But the good news is that I get to fix issues with the rendering of the art that I didn't like, so it has some plusses. But yes, I'm going back to a day of curing for each clear coat. Fantastic video!

    • @FieldeyTV
      @FieldeyTV  3 роки тому

      GAHHH! You poor thing! I hope the process went ok! It's from bitter experience that I'm now very cautious about clear coating and wet and dry sanding :(

    Is there any other kind of paint I’m able to use when painting? Or is acrylic the most resilient?

    • @FieldeyTV
      @FieldeyTV  3 роки тому

      Sorry for the late reply! I'd do a bit of research and use what you're comfortable painting with. Acrylic is the best for this style of art, but isn't necessarily the most resilient.

    Thanks for sharing I liked the tutorial! Now when you clear coat spray it’s doifferent from the wet sanding technique, which is brush on!!! Ie; layer of gel medium, or midge podge, wetsand, dry repeat I still havn’t successful sheen with that but in da process!
