Wow, only three minutes into watching your video and I'm impressed by your creative idea. Hold on a moment; I have to go hit the "Like" button. ❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Everett White they don't show the actual lesson because the cam is so far away...and angles off cannot see what she's doing ..more so if a beginner wanted to learn from.
What a excellent video ! I love the tip for toning the canvas with liquin!! I’ll be doing that now instead of using Gamsol ! Why do you clean your brushes ???? Have you ever tried brush dip ? Draw mix paint has a product that saves your brushes for weeks with out drying out. I never clean my brushes ….and if I’m using liquin to tone my canvases, I probably never need Gamsol again ! I can completely eliminate it from my studio! Thanks for the great video
I now use Neo Megilp to tone my canvas. It's safer for your health. I use it because it dries harder than just using gamsol. I don't want that layer to lift in the painting process which can happen if you use just Gamsol. I clean my brushes when i know I'm not going to be painting for awhile. If I'm going to paint the next day or in a couple days i just dip the brush in Turpenoid Natural.
@@ElizabethRobbins Neo Megilp that’s a new one ! I love gamblin product, so I’ll definitely be checking that out. liquin is pretty toxic but hard to beat it fora great medium . I’ll be looking into it. Thanks again for all your tips and advice. You really are amazing.
@@ElizabethRobbins Sorry I have one more question. I like to draw out my composition a lot of the time and using proportional divider also. I use a white /black charcoal pencil. Will that work on that surface once it’s dry.?
Hello, thanl you for sharing all your technic, it is super interesting. Please, I was surprised about a thing. Why would you avoid to have terpenoid natural in your paintings ? Does it agress the colors ? I always use it, and I am curious to undestand if there could be a problem. Thank you so much for looking at my question, but I eally understand, if you don't have time. Warm greatings from Paris :)
Turpenoid natural is only for cleaning brushes. It is not meant for using with paint. It breaks down the paint molecules so you should not use it in your paintings
hello elizabeht I write to you from Peru I look at your videos and I would like you to tell me what color you paint your shadow box because you say green; It would be nice to know which tone has the exact color. thank you very much
Thank you very much for passing on your experience :-) Concerning the lighting - do you use 4 bulbs of each 100 Watt, i.e. 400 Watt in total? And who is the manufacturer of the lamp/brand name?
there are 4 bulbs in the light box and 100 Watts each. here is a link to the company. www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?A=details&O=&Q=&ap=y&c3api=1876%2C%7Bcreative%7D%2C%7Bkeyword%7D&gclid=CjwKCAiAqIHTBRAVEiwA6TgJw96OOHPO9Od5fV8XGGHA8EOAv9tAK8xoRexIljMv6m2HErzM8QFWHxoCwoIQAvD_BwE&is=REG&m=Y&sku=1133031
I have several videos on Inspired to Paint that show you how to paint all kinds of metal. Copper, brass, and silver. Please check it out. inspiredtopaint.com
Bellissimo! Scusa, Elizabeth, non riesco a capire che prodotto è quello che usi per dipingere nel video? Very beautifull! Sorry, Elizabeth, I can't understand what product is what you use to paint in the video?
Here's a link. But you can also just use the 5000K daylight bulbs from Home depot. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1538316-REG/westcott_404l_c_ulite_led_2_light_collapsible.html
My opinion on using weasel hair for brushes is moderate. When it comes down to it, killing an animal to make paint brushes in the modern era when brushes can be made with other materials does seem cruel. On the other hand I also understand that some of these trappers may have been trapping for generations and if the trapping is done on a smaller scale by individual hunters that practice seems alright. What I don't agree with is hunting these animals in massive quantities. In the modern era we need common sense regulation where the government doesn't over-regulate individuals out of business. I actually took the time to research if brushes are linked to animal cruelty.The hair is obtained from the tail of the kolinsky, a species of weasel rather than an actual sable. The finest brushes are made from the males, which is not surprising since the male gender is obviously superior to the female in most animal species. Lol. The weasels are primarily found in Siberia where Russian and Chinese hunters do hunt the weasels. The weasels are not endangered and are supposedly abundant. This 'matter' as Loretta Lynch would call it, is a great example of the hypocrisy of European countries when it comes to environmental issues. When it comes to the Kolinsky weasel, issues for animal rights have been brought up which has caused regulation of the practice. This involves Russian and Chinese hunters getting licensed and fulfilling reporting requirements. This bureaucracy that has sprung up around kolinsky weasels means the hunters either turn their attention to other animals or they sell their kolinsky weasel hair to European countries that don’t require certificates of export. So in the end, the United States actually acknowledges the regulation and holds up to the standard, while European countries aren't. This seems to be related to the Paris Accord where the US President got lampooned by Europeans and the American mainstream for taking the US out. Could it possibly be that the US was going to be forced by the media to live up to the regulation, while smaller European countries could talk a big game while technically be doing nothing? Facts: - Weasels are hunted for their hair mostly in Siberian Countries where they aren't an endangered species. - Hunters sell the hair to European brush makers - Hunters don't sell their hair to the US because of regulation involving animal rights
A most enjoyable artistic,intelligent,master. Thank you so much Elizabeth.

What is the wood base for your palette glass?
It was a small drafters table that I bought at Michaels
Bellissimo! Scusa, Elizabeth, non riesco a capire che prodotto è quello che usi per dipingere nel video?

The brushes I use are synthetic. The aren't real weasel hair brushes.
It was nice and informative indeed. Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful skills
