Oil Painting: Brush Control and Paint Application - Too Much Brush Cleaner vs. Paint on Your Pallete

In this video we talk about an important and common struggle with controlling oil paint. One key factor is how much paint you have on your palette. If there's too much fluid on your brush, even after wiping and drying it, you might find it challenging to control your strokes on the canvas.
We have another clip on the touch technique, but this video focuses on ensuring you have enough paint on the palette. If you enjoy this, visit our website for more videos, uploaded regularly.
To create realistic paintings, pay attention to the contrast between light and dark areas. When mixing medium areas, make sure your brush is properly cleaned and dried to avoid excess fluid, which can create uncontrollable pools of paint on the canvas. It's crucial to have enough paint on your palette to absorb the fluid, preventing over-blending and smearing.
Practice drying your brush thoroughly and managing the amount of paint and fluid on it. This will help you control your blending effectively. Remember, it's a learning process, and being mindful of these details will improve your technique. Keep practicing and refining your approach to achieve the best results.
