nature is free and whimsical !!! Christine is like that .nothing academic but gets the message across ! amazing fun personality that sparkles like her painting ! Always a joy to listen to her.
Thank you both for this video. I'm going to try the paper towels at the back of the room idea, Eric. Genius! And Christine, I just signed up for your on line class. I'm really excited to learn more from you. (I'm an Austin, Texas native)
The word you need for the reflection values is compression.. lights go darker and darks go lighter. The values compress! Loved your work. Sue Mullinax from Texas.
Watching Morgan Weistling paint with walnut oil (not alkyd walnut oil mix), it is still probably the best way to start a large wipe out/loose painting and of course stays workable for a couple days. We don't always have that time and now I often start with galkyds paints and mediums for quicker layering.
Underpainting in soft pastel using rubbing alcohol to get more water color like effects and lock it in like a fixative makes a lot of sense to me. Especially while capturing a plein air in a short amount of time. Then you can either continue with soft pastel or turn to oils in the studio. Less supplies and paint palette already set to go.This way, you are not limited on how many colors to bring, nothing to clean up and possibly hit several of that area's locations in the same morning or late afternoon. I'm nearing 70, so time and simple becomes increasingly more important each day. It use to be that you could only make so many mistakes in soft pastel before turning to mud. Except now we can lock it in and layer over in just a few mins. A fine grain sandy surface on hardboard makes since to me. A neutral background color pre-prepped. Bring along couple of light Naples and a couple of greyed out Prussian panels.
Hi Christine, nice to see you - very interesting , makes me think about working with oils. Love the water solvable and pure oil combination. I hope you will attend PACE in Santa Fe this year. Hope to see you then ! Miriam
The less than in a reflection is so easy to understand. You are looking at the reflection through layers of water and not just water but probably tiny particles so just think of the water as a filter that is filtering out some of the intensity of the color.
Al, yes you can. WMO’s are OIL paint. They are not water-based; they just have an additive that makes them clean up with soap and water. You can add up to around 30% traditional oil paint to WMO’s and still get the benefits of a water cleanup, but more than that will require solvent for cleanup. I personally use only WMO’s and mediums made for WMO’s-then clean up with Dawn dish soap or Murphy’s Oil Soap. All the best!

What fumes? Linseed oil smell? The bad fumes come from the solvents used, and as Christine shows, you don't need to use solvents with water-mixable oils.
@@chriswhitehouse8982 Don’t be a pr!ck. Oil paint stinks. If you don’t use it or if you’ve burnt out your nose with chemicals, you won’t notice it. BUT I DO !!! AND IT MAKES ME ILL.

I'd like to see the final painting. I enjoy all of Chrisine's vidoes.

wonderful insight. You had me at the " no focal point" comment.
The idea of vertical warm and horizontal cool color is a wonderful knowledge nugget.

Harry from Harleysville Pa. This is perfect. Am currently working on water reflections in a painting. Thank you so much

Really enjoyed this! Great tips too. Surprised there isn't a link to her videos for purchase.
I love, I must have a squeaky clean brush.

I use baby oil to clean my brushes, they come up beautiful and soft!
Watching from Toronto Canada
Dianne from Edenton, NC so appreciate the reflection on reflections.
I didn’t know that about the reflections. Good info.
can you mix regular oil paint with water based oil paint ?
Al, yes you can. WMO’s are OIL paint. They are not water-based; they just have an additive that makes them clean up with soap and water.

Following along in watercolor from Minnesota. Oil fumes knocked me off my game :/
