In this video I use Golden Open acrylics to paint a still life of a glass of water, a knife, and a lemon. I like to use slow drying acrylics or acrylics with retarder added to them so that I can create soft edges and smooth gradients.
The colors that I used in this painting are Hansa Yellow Opaque, Quinacridone Magenta, Pyrrole Red, Ultramarine Blue, Carbon Black, and Titanium White.
Music: “Hurts So Good Blues” by “Unicorn Heads”
Beautiful painting. Interesting techniques for the highlight.
Thanks! Wiping out the highlights with a rag is an oil painting technique but it also works with slow drying acrylics.
Interesting tests. You save us all lots of time and paint with your GREAT demos. Thanks Chris!
You kill it every time.
The music cracked me up with it in the best way.
Fantastic artwork, fantastic stilllife
Amazing technique! The lemon makes a great contrast with its blurriness
Fun to watch AND listen to this great demo!
A joy to watch!
I flatter you not; you are really, really good at what you do. There is often a tendency to think that the "masters" belong to a bygone age. I say there are many today among us, quietly producing great works of art. Bravo! I'm going to try to reproduce this because I have a sense of humour. I envision that it will be relegated to an obscure corner of a kitchen wall...
This is educating my eye 100%, thank you!
This was so soothing
You're extraordinary.
I love this so much ❤️
Beautiful painting😍
Great painting, Chris
Glad you like it!
I came here to learn...I'm a novice acrylic painter...but that music made me pick up my guitar...I'm so conflicted...great tutorial... thanks...I think...on the lesson and the groove...
Thanks! I try to select interesting music for my videos. 😀
Love it😍
Great painting! Keep it up! Liked and subbed
Your video is very helpful sir
Hi! Very nice video and demonstration. Can i borrow your wisdom for a bit? I want to upgrade my paint set and I keep bouncing back and fourth between Goldens OPEN / Fluid / Heavy Body. Between OPEN and Heavy Body, I keep thinking that I prefer wet on wet techniques more then wet on dry... Im new and I've only had the experience with Liquitex Basics and I didn't like that feel of wet paint coming in contact with the dry canvas, it seems that i'm disturbing a finish painting or something, always creating a harsh line. Because of that, my current plan is to focus my main colors in OPEN, (maybe buy only a small tube of HB White and Yellow for the max opacity when needed) and some strategic Fluid colors to do underpainting and finishing detail. I hope that makes sense. Can you help me? Thanks a lot and congratulations on the art 👌
One stroke painting? 👍👍👍 Perfect 🙂
Could you please explain how you mix all that colors?
Here's a link to my color mixing playlist. I have a number of color mixing demos ua-cam.com/play/PLJWwgoBXxzb3L1WQHDj6VTYM0iqrU8ESB.html You might also want to check out some of my short videos where I match the colors of objects.
Do you have a full length slower verison of this demo? I qm a beginner, this is too fast for me to follow. Thanks.
I think I only have the time lapse footage from this painting. Some of my more recent videos are more in-depth. Look for the salt shaker painting, or the one of measuring cups. 😀
Nice work! What's the blues piano/guitar music playing in the background?
Thanks John! The song is “Hurts So Good Blues” by “Unicorn Heads”. You can find it in the UA-cam Audio Library.
Hii!! So I want to ask, I see that there are some artists who always paint the canvas background first with 1 color, for example burnt umber. but there are also those who use bright colors like red, blue, or neon green and then overwrite them with actual colors like gray, blue or so on. So how do we as novice painters determine the background color? Is it to our heart's content or are there rules to make it look more attractive? because I just wanted to learn still life paintings so this confused me. I mean this 0:12
I think I learnt this-
for example, if you’re doing a sky background, that’s where a neon blue would come in handy, then you’d paint _over_ the said color with other contrasts like darker blue or white / light blue for clouds
it’s about choosing a color you wouldn’t use often (ex. how Chris used a denim blue in this video) or a brighter / darker color and adding the necessary highlights or other colors to make it look natural
How do you tone the canvas like oils?do you added water ?
I think I added some water to thin them out. They’re golden open acrylics so the dry slower, which allowed me to wipe some of the paint off with a rag.
Could someone help explain to me why he painted in the background that way?
I started with the burnt sienna to tone the canvas. Then I just drag the brush with the gray paint to create a dry brushing effect so that it has texture to it. I let some of the burnt sienna show through so the background has some interest to it, rather than being just a solid gray.
Do you use a damp rag or dry when you wiped off the orange???
I use a damp rag when I want to remove most of the paint, or when the paint starts to dry and becomes difficult to remove.. 🙂
i think i have the same knife at home
