Usually youtube art channels are reduntant. You saw one, you saw all of them. This one is different though. It's like being an aprentice to a master and getting little secrets of the craft that nobody knows. Thank you so much mr. Duchev!
Alex, thank you very much. It was my goal since i started this channel to share my knowledge... or better to say to share my journey as the artist and pass it on to the next generation. Thank you!
I use plywood or mdf panels (I like a rigid support) onto which I glue canvas (i love the texture of fabrics). With this method I have fun experimenting using linen, cotton, jute, burlap (although this one is too much texture for my taste) etc. Furthermore there are no problems of having to stretch the fabric of your choice, of slack canvas and so on
Another great presentation. I would like you to talk about varnishing your paintings and how you select your frames. Not how to frame but what frames do you use. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you Robert! I definitely will shoot a video about how to select the frames and options to varnish the paintings
I usually use MDF panel, but I first apply the acrylic primer to protect the panel from oil from the paint, and then apply a layer of Gesso. I sand to the desired smoothness, depending on the subject.
This content was so helpful ... would love to see how to do gallery wrap, too!
Coming soon! :)
👋👋👋👋👋👋👍👍👍
Would love to learn how to diy the mdf panel please
This is really great- i personally like a slightly rougher surface that pulls the paint off the brush and the paint sinks in a little. I like Ray Mar linen #13 (or maybe 16 I forget)
Great video Vlad, thank you.
Yes, MDF is a great surface to work on, and cradling is a very good idea for larger sizes due to tendency of boards to warp. Going up to 1/4-inch thickness helps too, for larger paintings; no warping up to two feet by 3 feet, I've found. Been doing lot of small studies this year in 6x8 and 8x10 so not much warpage in 1/8-inch panels. Gessoed (that's "Jesso-ed", Vlad! LOL ;D) is easiest but also can also glue canvas/linen to it for a nice surface if that is your preference. If you can't or don't want to risk your precious painting fingers on powered saws (LOL), you can get them pre-cut online at Amazon, in many sizes. They are boxed and "raw" and un-primed, so they are much cheaper than the ones that are "ready to go" paint on. I found one maker by Juvale that is great for the smaller sizes 6x8, 8x10, near 1/8 thick, for about 15 bucks for about 30 of them. They are sightly undersized, in thickness and length and width, but consistently accurate dimensionally, one to another, and fine for "studies; they, being measured in mm rather than inches. From China, I think. Cheers!!
I was hoping someone would tell him how to pronounce gesso, lol. I'm also a big fan of painting on gessoed cradled MDF panels.
@@Catbooks I usually don't cradle but yes, it's a great painting surface.
I don't criticize anyone for trying to speak English as a second language, in fact I appreciate it, muchly, LOL. And "g" is one of those conundrum sounds in our pronunciation rules. I know I could never talk in their "native tongues" or whatever you call that which others speak!! So, Vlad does pretty well otherwise! LOL ;D
@@ronschlorff7089 I agree, the hard and soft Gs are confusing, along with many other weirdisms of English. I just thought he'd want to know. He does do well, and I enjoyed and appreciated this video.
@@Catbooks Yes, Vlad does good stuff, and I like his vids on plein air painting events too; very instructive, as I used to do them long ago when they were first "a thing", early 2000's. I don't do them anymore, but they still look like fun to participate in. : )
@@ronschlorff7089 I haven't seen his videos on plein air painting yet. But I used to do plein air back in the 80s. Not events, just with other artist friends.
Show us how to do this panel and cradle.
Thanks!
Thank you very much!!!
Thank you for sharing :)
My pleasure!
Yes, Vlad I would love to see you make that MDS panel. I’d also like to see how you take those and put them in frame or if you just leave them like that and hang them. Because I do not have the space for all of these canvases in my house I have started using just a piece of tacked or taped down canvas. Then, if the paintings sells, I will then apply it to a panel and frame. However, I have a hard time painting like that because the Canvas, even tacked down tends to buckle while I’m painting on it. Any advice?
You can use canvas glued to mdf, and you don’t need a lot of space for it.
Can you do this using gator board?
With the gator board you can use just Miracle Muck and canvas, or just two layers of MH primer
