  • Here are some fun painting ideas for everyone! These ideas range from beginner to advanced. From simple to more complicated color schemes. There's a wide variety of painting ideas in this video for you to try, however the ideas aren't anything "new." You can think of these tiny painting ideas as "prompts" if you want!
    I'm using oil paints in this video, but you can use whatever art supplies you want or have. Usually I use acrylics or gouache for painting ideas videos, but I wanted to switch it up today and use a supply I haven't touched in a while!

    Have you ever considered doing a series based on a prompt book such as "Wreck This Journal" or "Create This Book"? You're so talented, I'm sure they would turn out amazing! 😊

    We smile every time we watch a Mira Byler video! She shows how art can be serious work and joyful play at the same time. And, yes, we would love to see a brush cleaning video! If you do one, though, fair warning, we are a little obsessed about brush care and maintenance, and we might get a little chatty in comments. People have been known to make excuses to leave early when we're talking about brush cleaning. Funny how many doctor's appointments, family reunions, weddings, and court proceedings seem to just come up suddenly while we're talking about brush cleaning.

    Create because we want to create. I never thought about art that way. I mean that sometimes I get caught up in the idea of the finished product and that adds unnecessary stress. I'm going to try and remember that the act of creation is the part that is enjoyable and fulfilling. I think when I go for painting something comforting I go for Mark making and patterns. More abstract rather than a specific subject. I think I will try painting clouds and things I have around my home. Really enjoyed this video. Thank you

    @kittenslitteone8269 Рік тому

    My go to thing to paint or draw is eyes, eyes are something I can easily call to mind and apply to canvas without a reference. They can take me anywhere from 10 minutes to 3 hours depending on how inspired I'm feeling.
    If someone wants me to draw them something I can generally come up with a decent sketch of an eye in about 2 minutes.

    @ceilinh6004 Рік тому +2

    I do different things depending on the media I'm using. I like doing landscapes with acrylic (and sometimes watercolour.) I also really like drawing faces; usually with ink/watercolour, and also with pencils/pencil crayons. If I'm doodling with fineliners, I tend to have a cartoony illustrative style. When/if I go back in to add colour to that stuff, it's usually a mix of markers, pencil crayons, and watercolours.
    Watercolours are basically my favourite thing.

    Hi Mira. Once again I am in awe of your talent. Suggestion - I would love to see you paint skies but use different mediums all on the same video. You are so proficient in all mediums - would be interesting to see and hear your process when you move from gouache to coloured pencil or acrylic. Again. Loved your video.

    I use water mixable oil paints and there is VERY LITTLE fumes especially because you can “clean” your brush with water. And they don’t reactivate. Genuinely LOVE them.
    ALSO! They do make “extender medium” or blending medium for acrylic paints so they take A LOT longer to dry. It makes them behave more like oil paints.

    Still intimidated by painting in acrylic or oil. However you are so encouraging. It seems that I love to scale up whatever I draw. So painting on a small canvas does not seem like something I should do, but because I am still intimidated, I think it would be a great idea to paint on smaller canvases. Thank you, Mira. Love your videos.

    No offense Mira, but folks please, pleeeeeeze rinse the gum Arabic out of your brand new brushes! Especially watercolor brushes which are more fragile. Bending the fibers on a round brush while stiff and hard can ruin the tip. You paid good money for your brush, don't ruin it before you've even started painting! 💋💋

    Hi Mira, I love all your tips about using oil paints. I started painting in oils in the spring. I stopped because I don't know where to discard my dirty water as you know we cannot throw away on the sink. I may however take it to my community college and discard it there. Thanks for the perfect reminder.

    My go-to is doing rainbows of all the colors that I have. Don't really put them in any order just long lines of various colors or doing little squares of various colors sometimes blending the edges together to see what kind of color it might make. Love my watercolors. I especially love intense. I have been coloring with them on bags made of canvas and making circles upon circles upon circles. I thoroughly enjoy how once one layer dries putting another layer on top of it where the colors will intertwine in different ways and adding a little bit of white to kind of give it a little bit of a glow or an iridescent or a bubble look. Alas, it's almost always accidental when it looks amazing. Someday I will be able to consistently do that on purpose. :-) Someday I might Branch out into gouache it's calling my name. Have a question what is a water-based oil paint? As in how can an oil paint be water-based? It's not something I can wrap my head around in the present moment. Can you give an example?

    What is the biggest difference between working in oils vs acrylics? Would you say it is the blending because of the slow drying? I haven't tried oils yet and I'm curious.

    • @MiraByler
      @MiraByler  Рік тому

      Great question! Yes, oils are super creamy and dry slowly. They’re also thicker in consistency, so if you want to build up texture you can do so, or you can thin it out with walnut oil or other additives for a smoother appearance. I love both types of paint! Cleanup with acrylics is easier, so I tend to use that more for smaller pieces, and oils for larger pieces that take days to weeks to finish.
