I never thought before that all oranges should begin with burnt umber. It is really very good experience watching , and learning this technique from you. thank you very much. Wish u all the best and good luck for your paintings.
great video, thank you. ive been looking for a good video on burnt umber imprimatura and this is great! i love your technique with the stick as a resting place for your hand, great idea, i need to try this!
The Mahl stick has been used for centuries, as a rest and stabilizing support for the painting hand, to keep it away from the surface, so yes, it is a great idea.
Thank you for this video. When you start you say you're putting a layer of medium on the canvas/board. I'm assuming that that's not turpentine you're using but actual oil medium, correct?
Maroger has two mediums. The Flemish contains mastic and the Italian has bees wax. I make my own but you can purchase similar medium from oldmastersmaroger.com
I really enjoyed you video btw. Unfortunately i can't afford classes right now so i am thankful for videos on the web like yours to help me get started in oil painting. Thank you.
A strong pet peeve of mine is distracting music, which adds nothing, especially here when the artist can be explaining or describing what is going on, as he's applying the paint. As a practical trick, I found that giving my left brain a logical activity to do, such as explaining, actually frees the right brain to do its thing, instinctively and without rushing or robotic repetition. I try to create a strong value foundation, especially where zones meet, but avoid the contrast extremes, that can be strengthened later, and also avoid strong lines, early on, keeping it as if "out of focus." I like to use weak mix of similar hue, with just solvent, so I can move and lift areas even after it dries. It is very close to a charcoal sketch in that respect, and does not compromise the next layer of paint adhering, once medium is introduced, because it is so thin, and the first brush strokes with paint will merge and adhere just fine.

correct. it's Maroger medium applied just thin enough to wet the panel so the paint flows much better.
What is "Maroger's Flemish medium"? Is this something you buy?
Maroger has two mediums. The Flemish contains mastic and the Italian has bees wax. I make my own but you can purchase similar medium from oldmastersmaroger.com

Tja...
looks like it might be a nice video but not with the music
+Marsha Needham I couldn't agree more. It was my first video and I thought the music would be a nice filler but never again.
The song isn't good enough to repeat. Try some acoustic guitar or piano...
I love you paintings. However your music is to load and not to my reasoning. rather have you talk.
