    You should always begin with oil painting first because oil can learn to mix colors much better with oil paint. Oils give you longer drying time allowing basic colors of a work to be mix and then added to changing , values, chroma, and pushing toward a hue change. Oils allow you to learn how to create subtle color changes and brush techniques that acrylics do not allow.

    • @callumworsfold5776
      @callumworsfold5776 6 місяців тому +4

      Interesting take, but I think to a complete beginner, the drying time of acrylic allows for the correction of mistakes a lot more easily whereas what we see as an advantage to oil will work against someone with no skill and likely will result in a muddy looking painting.

    • @timeenoughforart
      @timeenoughforart 5 місяців тому

      I preferred oil because its drying time made it easier to fix my mistakes. My acrylic's looked muddy and seemed hard to mix. I never gave acrylics a serious attempt, but have used it when time was a factor. @@callumworsfold5776

    • @alic6958
      @alic6958 5 місяців тому

      Acrylic paint can do the same with the addition of retarder. The company ‘Golden’ produce a fantastic paint line called Golden Open. It stays open on the pallete for days, and can be blended very well. I think the versatility of acrylic paint is its main benefit to a beginner. Try both mediums, and see which suits your artistic process best.

    • @contemporaryartissue
      @contemporaryartissue  5 місяців тому +1

      Interesting discussion. I believe the use of water makes it feel more convenient and easier to clean up a potential mess. Personally, I believe it is a lot easier to achieve great results with oil paint-but the initial learning curve to simply use it might be just a bit steeper. Thank you all for tuning in

    Phaidon has loads of other books on contemporary painting that are much more up to date, like the Vitamin P series or the most recent one Great Women Painters, I'd highly recommend the Vitamin P series, think there are 3 volumes out by now. Of course I have Painting Today also, but I think that it's a little bit outdated...

    I always appreciate the effort to put to give advice to painters. Having said that, I wish we paid more attention to non-Western born or resident artists in Africa. There is is obliteration of anything African everywhere despite the fact that there is a huge artistic scene in many African countries.Think the Dakar Art Biennale. I'm a Westerner and have a good knowledge of Art history due to Uni days, but where are the African contemporary artists? Where do we talk about them or read about them? The same, but in way less degree about Asian art, unless they superstars; I'm thinking about the Indonesian Afandi, who I didn't know anything about until I visited his home-museum a few years ago.

    • @contemporaryartissue
      @contemporaryartissue  5 місяців тому

      Yes, you're most definitely right. The focal point of the art world is still in the Western world in terms of institutions, collectors, events, galleries, et cetera, but the artists are coming from everywhere. We have a video and article on African painters, so feel free to give it a read/watch!

Like being British where "people of color" are considered just British not Afro-British. You can be very African and be third generation white. Like that's so obvious if you travel. So how many contemporary Senegalese artists are exhibited in USA top-notch Museums and talked about? Or Malinese? Or Moroccan?
