Honestly, I loved the original version! But when I saw the result, I thought it was much more vibrant! I need to go through all my paintings I wasn't satisfied and redo them! Thank you!❤
It's a good idea to repaint the alrady painted subject! It gives me courage when I am so disappointed aboit what i did on the canvas. With more knowledge I can paint it all over again!! Thanks Malcolm!
I like the warmth in the 2nd painting over the coolness in the 1st version. Once I've declared a painting done, I tend to go on and paint it again on a new canvas if it really bugs me. But before I get to this point, I've usually fiddled with the 'original' version several times. I have some paintings that I messed with, generally repainting the same canvas, over a period of several years!
I actually liked the first one but I can see how the variety of colour especially of the same value has given the second one more interest. I have tried to overpaint but I don't use thick enough paint and also choose transparent colours without realising and they don't cover too well.
Thanks again Malcom, I will try doing this with my paintings that are blah. I always thought it was the composition but a value change may also be the answer.
Thank you for showing us this demo. I have tried fixing paintings by touching up areas, which usually looks like an afterthought, but what you have done is recharge the whole painting so it is harmonious. 👍🏻
Personalmente pienso que siempre es bueno, retomar antiguos trabajos al igual que tú, y por los resultados nos demuestras que si se pueden enriquecer aún más, gracias por compartir 🎨
Thank you for this demonstration! You changed the beautiful painting from a little boring to a really vibrant work of art. Both paintings are good, but the changes you have made really improved it! Your ideas are such an inspiration!
I’m awed by this video. Myself, I keep my rubbish paintings to work out what has gone wrong, but I guess I could o k on a hem once the puzzle has been solved!
Hello Malcolm! I'm afraid I'm going to have a lot of work to do!😆🤣😂 There are very few paintings of me that I am happy with. Thank you for this video!Have a nice weekend !
Yes definitely love the second version , very vibrant and lively One question did you have to put some linseed oil over the original first before you painted over it
It is a good idea as long as you wipe it down to avoid it being too slippery. In this case I did not use any oil - the surface was quite rough with previous impastos so I had no doubts about getting the paint on.
I especially enjoyed seeing you use the bigger brushes…I would probably get out the 4 to start and go down from there…I’ll try harder! Thank you ! I also wondered about putting oil on the old painting first or at least using a bit of oil in the paint to satisfy the “fat over lean” principle? Cheers!
Thanks, yes you can lightly oil the dry surface. In this case the old painting was dry so it was like painting on a well primed panel. Completed in one go so no danger of irregular drying.
Thank you for sharing, it is always nice to watch your videos; I admired the definition of the cows in the back ground at the end with so few inspired strokes; 👋 I like both versions; they are different and both interesting 🙋👨🎨
The first had a lot of good things, but the color notes were not clean and that removed the vibrancy. Some prefer the more subdued palette but I like painting to stand out more.
I agree with a few of others Malcolm both look good. However the newer version, looks very good. The colours look even more vibrant after the paint over. Many thanks for sharing. I was wondering, would I be correct in saying that the suggested time of day with the later painting be late morning?
Thank you for another excellent and inspiring video! I have a question: I want to refresh a painting I did but I have already varnished it (with satin varnish for oil paints). Can I paint over this varnish and then varnish it again in about six months or should I give it a miss? Thank you very much
Trying it now, I stopped painting for 10 years, trying again. Thanks for sharing.
Good luck!

It's worth it to do so a few times a year. You will be suprised by how you artist's eye has changed.

Yes, try again and see what happens 😊

Thanks, yes this approach helps us learn and grow as well.

Yes transparent color, like "permanent" colors instead of cadmium leads to frustration in this case.
Malcolm, both of your paintings are lovely. You are very inspiring and I love your style.
Many thanks
Thanks again Malcom, I will try doing this with my paintings that are blah. I always thought it was the composition but a value change may also be the answer.
Have fun Kathy - its surprising how we adjust over time to different color and vibrancy.
Thank you for showing us this demo. I have tried fixing paintings by touching up areas, which usually looks like an afterthought, but what you have done is recharge the whole painting so it is harmonious. 👍🏻
Yes, I have noticed that touch ups lead to more work. Often best to the whole painting..

Yes it is very interesting to paint over an old painting. You can also take advantage of the colors below.
True, good tip.

Thank you Selma!

Sure, it saves on storage space too 😄
I really prefer the new version. More vibrant color, and more interesting with the water.
Thank you!
Hello Malcolm!
I'm afraid I'm going to have a lot of work to do!😆🤣😂
There are very few paintings of me that I am happy with.
Thank you for this video!Have a nice weekend !
Yup, same here - not enough days in the week it seems, but pick one and see what can be done.
I find this video both interesting and educational. I will follow your example, and repaint some old paintings that I need to redo. Thank you!👍😊
Glad it was helpful!
Yes definitely love the second version , very vibrant and lively
One question did you have to put some linseed oil over the original first before you painted over it
It is a good idea as long as you wipe it down to avoid it being too slippery. In this case I did not use any oil - the surface was quite rough with previous impastos so I had no doubts about getting the paint on.
Oh wow! That painting has come alive! It’s so inspiring to see. Thank you so much for your videos!
Glad you enjoy it! thanks
Thanks Malcolm, I like your video on overpainting. Maybe it can also be a way of showing one's improvement.
True. Things look different with more experience.
Big difference! Both are actually nice but I do prefer the reworked one. Good idea to do something with some of my own old paintings! Thanks Malcolm.
Thank you, worth a try 😉
You are an inspiration to all those artists who have a long way to go. Thank you.
😊 Thank you!
Much better. Thanks for showing how you do it.
Glad to help, thanks

Love the second version…. brilliantly done
Thank you!
Really enjoyed this.
Awesome, thank you!
I like both, but this rework certainly does make the painting glow for daylight.
Thank you Ruth
Oh yes! Beautifully done. Thank you.
Thanks Bonnie
Entertaining 👍♥️ from Frances uk
I can’t put my finger on it as to why , but I prefer the first one.. Could it be because you wanted to paint looser with more light? Thanks!
The first had a lot of good things, but the color notes were not clean and that removed the vibrancy. Some prefer the more subdued palette but I like painting to stand out more.
What a great way to see improvements as you go along. I may have ‘just a few’ unhappy paintings that could do with a revamp 😂 Thank you for the idea!
I'm sure you will save a few that way.
Fabulous painting
Thanks very much!
@@MalcolmDewey I am really very interested for doing some online courses from your painting school
I like the old one but the new one feels warmer like sunlight
I agree with a few of others Malcolm both look good. However the newer version, looks very good. The colours look even more vibrant after the paint over.
Many thanks for sharing. I was wondering, would I be correct in saying that the suggested time of day with the later painting be late morning?
It was about 2pm. Although the reworked one is pushing color more for my expressive goals.
@@MalcolmDewey thanks for confirming Malcolm. Ok so mid afternoon, interesting. The colours do look amazing.
Love it😀
Thank you Joy
Thank you for another excellent and inspiring video! I have a question: I want to refresh a painting I did but I have already varnished it (with satin varnish for oil paints). Can I paint over this varnish and then varnish it again in about six months or should I give it a miss? Thank you very much
I have done so myself without problems. A light sanding to give a little more tooth to the surface is a good idea.
@@MalcolmDewey OK I will try it - thank you very much!😊
💯👍❤️❤️❤️
What is this style of painting called?
Painterly or contemporary Impressionism.
Spoiled,thickly painted,muddy canvas can we use to paint new one.
