How to paint loose in oils: Painting a teacup with oil paint

In this video I am taking you step-by-step through my process in creating a loose oil painting of a classic floral teacup (Royal Albert).
The focus lies on not getting lost in details, but painting just enough to give the viewer the impression of looking at a floral cup.

🖼️The surface I’m painting on is a small MDF panel by the brand “Muspaneel”. They are very smooth, so I always add a layer of gesso on it with. This creates some extra “tooth” and a lovely texture! After that, I put a thin layer/wash of burnt sienna acrylic paint, just to get the white off.
👨‍🎨The paint I use is a special oil paint (Cobra, from Royal Talens) which you can thin by using water instead of spirits. Other than that, it's the same as regular oil paint.
🖌️ For brushes I use the cobra brand brushes, and for smaller sizes I use Mus brushes.
🎨 On the palette for this painting:
- titanium white
- permanent yellow
- yellow ochre
- carmine red
- ultramarine blue
- burnt sienna

Thank you very much for this tutorial and I love that you can see the palette and how you mix it, for the different shades, and that you can see the entire process without cuts, as a beginner I appreciate it since it helps me improve, the Most of the videos I have seen are very fast but your tutorials are the best, thank you very much.

First let me say I am really enjoying this . The colour you are creating from a small palette is incredible. My question is regarding your water base oils. Is the drying time the same as regular oils or do they dry like acrylics?

[@dennispfeil]

Thanks and glad you like it! Drying time is roughly the same as with regular oils 😊
