      @@artprof This course was really so good. For me, the parts on actually painting and were the most informative. This is because I've been painting with oils for about 18 months now, but I'm still learning the actual painting techniques and the section on layering was extremely informative and helpful for me. I usually darken my colours with brown, so I'm going to try using complementaries to tone down my colours and see how it comes out.

    This 2 part video is such a godsend.
    I had 2 different teachers for my oil painting classes. My first teacher taught me to do blocking exactly like this. And it was so easy and made so much sense. My second teacher went with a dark to light method instead, and I wasn’t allowed to paint the other way. Trying to relearn everything after I took a 5 years break from painting and these videos are making me feel so much more confident to start again. Thank you so much 😭

    For those of you watching this tutorial, please know that our approach to filming this tutorial was to provide very basic information on oil paint for someone who has little to no experience at all with this materials. (thus, the "for beginners" in the video title. Since it is impossible for us to know what each individual person watching this video has access to in terms of a place to paint, (whether it's in a home studio, outdoors, at a local arts organization) we err on being conservative and cautious when presenting information on toxic materials and being responsible about safe disposal of materials that cannot be poured down the sink or placed in a regular trash can without causing harm to the environment.
    There are probably some of you who do have that circumstance or facility , but we felt that it would be irresponsible for us to make the assumption that everyone watching this video does. There are certainly nuances and complexities to the toxicity of certain materials, (not to mention so many manufacturers and pigments, each of which are different!) but our point is for people to understand that oil painting isn't a practice that you can casually maintain the way you could if you are doing a pencil drawing.
    I'm sure there are some of you watching this video who are much more advanced in your painting practice, have logged many more years, and have tried out many more different materials that we don't mention in this tutorial. Beginners in oil painting have a lot of hurtles to deal with when they first start painting. As you progress and find which mediums and techniques are right for you, and develop preferences for your own customized painting technique, you may have different experiences than we talk about above.
    Please feel free to share your experiences and techniques in the comment section so we can all learn together. See our other acrylic & oil tutorials!

I totally understand how you feel:) I've been using acrylic for years and I think it's going to be an adjustment from that but I'm ready to try this again.

    hi! first off this is the most helpful art channel i’ve ever seen and i have learnt so so much from you. one question i have though - how long does a layer of oil paint take to dry to the point where you can add a second layer? i’m a complete beginner to oil paints by the way i mainly work with watercolor so this is a huge switch and i am trying to be as careful as i can to minimize errors and such. thank you!

    • @artprof
      @artprof  4 роки тому

      So glad you found us! Dry time can vary tremendously. Factors like the paint brand, the specific color, whether you are thinning the paint with solvent, or oil medium, a drier like Liquin, etc. how warm it is where you live, etc. all play a part. Wait until it's dry to the touch, then you are good to add another layer on top. After you've worked for a while, you'll be able to get a sense of what the dry time is for your purposes. -Prof Lieu

    I always wait to judge my painting to next dat and when I look with fresh eyes and I stop if “it makes my heart sing” - and if it doesnot I continue and try to feel what is lacking but I think there is a great possibility that you can spoil a good, fresh painting if you only goes for cpntrol. For me its about subtle balance and a feeling that the painting moves me in some way. A still life is a very interesting painting exercise. It can make you wonder what a deep experiemce of a moment is. And I also think a still life has to do with things that means spmething to you .... it can open into the multidimensionality of ethe mystery of experience.

We have this video where we talk about different signals or approaches to trying to figure it out: ua-cam.com/video/H7aI2oceTDA/v-deo.html, Totally know what you mean about the objects in a still life; so often people think still life is boring, and 9 times out of 10, it's because people don't have a personal connection with the objects in the still life.

    Thank you for making that point about realism = copying vs. interpreting. I am BRAND NEW to painting and so I've been watching a ton of tutorials on YT. It feels like the gold standard, or what everyone is striving for, is to make their paintings as real as possible. Some look like an HD photograph. In my judgement, that's a technician's work vs. an artist. So, onto another topic. I know this sounds bizarre, but I don't practice all that much because the cost of these panels and canvases, not to mention the paints, can really add up. Do you have any suggestions for how newbies can get a lot of practice without chewing through supplies? Would you suggest small studies vs. big paintings at first? By the way, I tried that canvas paper and it was so horrendous that I threw it in the garbage. Thanks! Love your videos! P.S. I'm right around the corner from RISD! Just went to the phenomenal museum a month ago.

    while waiting for your painting to dry between layers each time, Do you need to re-mix all that paint every time you start again? or is there a way to "keep" the mixed paint still wet

    • @artprof
      @artprof  4 роки тому +1

      Usually oil paints will stay wet for 24 hours, but you should store them in a cold, dry place, cover the palette, and they should still be wet after 2-3 days (depending on the amount of paint, a small dot will dry every quickly). If there are large amounts you want to save, then using airtight jars is a good option. The drying time may also depend on the colour.

      If you watch Part 1 of this tutorial (ua-cam.com/video/dPw8J2G7cqI/v-deo.html) you'll see that we do a light wash of burnt siena, thinned out with Gamsol which is rubbed into the white canvas first. Then we use the burnt siena which is thinned down to sketch the outlines. You can sketch first with a pencil if you want of course, but I prefer to stick with the paint the whole way through.

    So, I understand you believe that oil paintings look best when done in multiple layers, but what is one supposed to do when landscape painting/plein air painting??

    • @artprof
      @artprof  4 роки тому

      Depends on the artist, but some artists will take multiple trips to the same space, others shoot their own reference photos and work from those in the studio. Others paint it all in one go, whatever works best for you! -Prof Lieu

    How long would you say you have to wait between layers before you can start the next one? And how much paint would you consider to be one layer? ...By that I mean, when do you know you’ve finished a layer and you can’t move forward until that drys? If you can be very specific I would love that. Thank you. For this video.

    • @artprof
      @artprof  4 роки тому +1

      Hi ! It really really depends on the paint brand, the color, what you are using for oil medium, etc. Before starting the next layer you want to have it dry to the touch. Hard to be precise about how much paint per layer, everyone is so different! I consider a layer to be when there is noticeable progress from the previous layer. -Prof Lieu

    I so agree with the professor's comments on photo realism! In my own experience I've noticed the people that are greatly impressed with photo realistic paintings have been people with the least experience and knowledge of the history of painting. Also I really don't understand the minds of modern day artist's devoted to photo realism. Maybe they're dealing with some obsessive compulsive behavioral problems or something else along those lines.

    You keep laughing at the guy for using paper towels rather than rags. Can you explain why? Also are the rags flammable/toxic after being used on solvents? Is there a special way you should keep or dispose of them? Wash them in washing machine?

    • @artprof
      @artprof  4 роки тому

      The problem with paper towels is that they are too thin and therefore you have to go through a LOT of paper towels to clean even just one brush, so it's super wasteful and on top of that, doesn't even do a good job of cleaning your brushes. Yes, after cotton rags have solvents in them they are a fire hazard. You don't want to wash them in a washing machine, they really cannot be cleaned. I keep them in a fire safe disposal container so they aren't a fire hazard. -Prof Lieu
