Thanks Colley! I’ve read these tips from you in the past. It’s nice to see them in action! When I do oils I’ve always used paper towels but I think I will try the cloth rag next time.

Easy to see why you are a good teacher. Loved the "painting DNA" comment.

I wish I'd seen this video when I started painting! Thank you.

[@augustasilvis297]

Thank u so much for the info

[@edberti5720]

Thankyou! this has been one of the most informative videos i have seen about all the aspects that get overlooked. Anyone can match a colour but the tips about the amount of paint and medium will change my practice.🙏

[@tammygoodrich3074]

Great suggestion for color mixing exercise. Thank you!

[@rockyh9630]

You are a great Teacher 💪💪

Mixing colours with a palette knife is also a great way to keep your colours really pure, as the knife is so easy to clean.

Nice tips! Thanks.

[@johnjohnston6648]

Great tips simple but really useful.

[@grahamhickmott1957]

Some handy tips, thanks. May I offer a tip of my own? Try wiping your palette clean with a wet wipe from Woolies or Coles. The alcohol content in them cleans it really well. Not trying to teach an old dog new tricks though LOL Cheers. Graham

Thanks for the tips Colley. Interested in your palette colour layout. Normally I would group the reds and other colours together

[@chompers11]

Helpful thanks

[@dgoberna]

nice, thanks for the tips! lots of wisdom that passed the test of time. Could you write down the mediums you use? I'm not sure if I got the names right, sorry.

[@3253222]

What is the medium you’re using?

[@saraev31415]

Ultramarine or Cobalt blue?

[@rockyh9630]

It's not a Magic Wand 😅😅 Amen... Preach

[@patrickvaughan1834]

What’s the name of your odorless medium?

[@esarchiart]

I'm a little confused as to how he dispenses with turpentine and goes to the right color just by wiping the brush. Explain it to me, please.

[@stevietv321]

Do I understand correctly-you wipe your brush off with a cotton cloth instead of rinsing in a container of mineral spirits? This would save me a lot of time and effort.
