J'adore vos vidéos , très bien faites, explications simples, claires ....super. On ressent que vous aimez partager votre amour de la peinture !!! Les meilleures vidéos sur la peinture que j'ai vues jusqu'à présent !!! Et d'ailleurs, je mets un " j'aime", avant même de les voir, tellement je sais qu'elles sont parfaites :-) . Merci I love your videos, very well done, simple explanations, clear .... great. We feel that you like to share your love of painting !!! The best videos on the painting I've seen so far !!! And besides, I put a "like", even before seeing them, so I know they are perfect :-). Thank you Brigitte
SUPER helpful, took notes (which I refer to often). I have even made color charts on canvas paper with many of your tutorials. Thanks again Jason, you've changed my life in not fighting with the medium anymore, LOL! Much love from New Mexico USA!
@@walcottfineart5088 The classical music in the background is really distracting to my ears for some reason like it's competing with what you are saying. Voice is better without the background noise.
Thanks Jason, a very useful and timely video as I'm just starting to learn to paint still life. A coupe of questions...do you normally try to use a complementary color scheme in your background to the main color in your foreground object? Do you usually use a cool or warm background? I thought cool colors recede so wouldn't you always want to use cool for your background or no? Thanks!
Sometimes, but most of the time there is no deliberate choice to use a complementary colors in my backgrounds. More often than not I will use a warm background unless the light is super cool. Cool colors do tend to recede, but so do transparent and muted colors. Thanks for watching!
You’ve inspired me to try a still life. I’ve never painted a still life but since seeing your still life paintings I want to try. Im excited about it! 😀🤞🏻lol
Thanks for the video! Hey Jason, can you do a quick video on cleaning your brushes?? I just noticed how clean they are! They look brand new. I wash my brushes in keroscene or baby oil. It gets all the paint out but the brush hairs don't look super clean - your brushes look brand new!
Thanks for watching! I actually did a video on this already! ua-cam.com/video/TqQPawWgNI4/v-deo.html The baby oil is fine to rinse the paint out...just make sure you wash it thoroughly after with soap and water to remove all the baby oil. If it gets in your paints they won't dry.
Thanks for watching! I actually did a video on cleaning your brushes awhile back. You can view it here: ua-cam.com/video/TqQPawWgNI4/v-deo.html Enjoy! :)
This was very very helpful thank you so much for doing this video as I am looking for a background to paint a dog and this really helped. I subscribed to your channel.
Rembrandt brand. Pr264 or pv19? What are the differences? Pr255 is warmer in Rembrandt brand? I don't know what pigment I will buy because I have always used cad red medium and carmin. HELP!!! Jaja . Thank you a lot
I have only used th Rembrandt PR255 a few times so I don't know how it compares to other brands of the same color. I typically use the real Cadmium Red Light on my palette. PR264 which is Rembrandt's Permanent Madder Deep is an excellent and far more permanent substitute for Alizarin Crimson. I love that color. It's warmer and redder than PV19 which is Permanenet Rose. PV19 tends to be more pink.
Kind of yes actually! But with the Burnt Umber/Ultramarine combo you can adjust it for warm and cool as you wish. I think I showed that in my video on mixing grays. Thanks for watching!
@@walcottfineart5088 thank you Jason. I try to get a limit palette. Burnt umber,burnt sienna Quinaq. Rose, yellow lemon, ultramar, phalho blue (green shade), black and white. What's your opinion? Is it enough?. Excuse my english.
Jose Luis Rojas Montiel I understand that. I often use either Burnt Umber or Burnt Sienna and hardly use my Phthalo Blue, unless I feel I need it. My guilty pleasure is my Yellow Ochre that I just love javing on my palette. I generally have a base colour selection of White, Yellow, Quin Rose, Ultramarine, and either Burnt Sienna or Burnt Umber. I habe a few other colours I sometimes add or swap out one blue for another as I feel it useful too. Working with a limited palette really works best for me as I get to learn my colours and how they work.
Thanks for watching! If you have Phthalo Blue, add Black to it and a bit of Yellow Ochre. You can also make a similar mix with Ultramarine, Black and a light bright yellow like Camium Yellow Light. Keep it much more towards the blue-gray side...don't add too much yellow.
I love the neutral choices you use and as someone who is not a great painter (meaning me, not you:) I LOVE the way you teach because it made it so much easier for me! Thank you so so much.
Dear Jason, I am a beginner and use a mixture of equal parts of linseed oil and turpentine. I have always heard about the "fat over lean" rule for oil painting. Does that simply mean adding more medium in the successive layers or it means increasing the proportion of linseed oil in the medium in each successive layer?? Please clarify.
Fat over lean just means you want either the same or more oil in each successive layer and less thinner. As long as you used the same medium in each layer you would be fine. Just don't add more thinner. If you need the paint to be more fluid at that point, add pure linseed oil to it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching! Using vertical strokes in the background can help minimize shine. Also the way the painting is hung when finished can help. Be sure it tilts slightly forward at the top.
Jason, I’m a recent subscriber. Your videos are so helpful, practical and clearly stated (and visualized). Many thanks!
I'm so glad you've enjoyed my videos! Thanks for subscribing and for the nice comment. :)
Great video Jason! I do paint in the old masters style and sometimes struggle with my background color mixes.
Glad this video proved helpful! Thanks for watching. :)

Thanks for such a nice comment Brigitte! I am so pleased that you are enjoying my videos. :)
Thank you again!
very nice video, can you specify which medium you add to the paint to make it more fluid? is it regular turpentine? thank you

Great help in getting started in Acrylics!
Yes! I am using oil paint in the video, but these mixtures would work perfectly with acrylics too. :) Thanks for watching!
Dear Jason Can you make video about oiling out ..? and What is the successful medium for oiling out ?

soo can you read minds?😂 i've been thinking about starting a painting but i'm stuck trying to figure out how to do the background haha, thanks!😀
LOL Thanks for watching and for the nice comment!
I appreciate your videos Jason. Can you tell me about cleaning up your brushes and maintaining brushes little bit longer? Do you use brush soap?

Perfect. Ty!
Great video and very timely for me as I am working to improve my backgrounds. Thank you. How about a video on foreshortening?
Good idea! I'll eventually do a video on foreshortening as it also relates somewhat to perspective. Thanks for watching! :)
I am big fan thank you so much for your help 🤗🤗
Glad you enjoyed this! Thanks for watching. :)
Super helpful. Might be good to show some of your paintings demonstrating the background recipes.
