Painting so good I thought you were sanding a pump on the canvas 👍

Niceee❤

i thought there was a bump on the paper 😂!

doing nonsense art and backed up by four pages of essay

the pilot really said: "it's not about knowledge to fly, it's about who you are" 💀💀💀

I have watched many videos that speculate about how Rembrandt achieved that impasto texture, And believe me when I say, I have expended a lot of paint trying to achieve what you just achieved with logical brush work.

I always approached glazing like it is a delicate membrane, a veil or an aura. Thank you for showing this technique Nic

You cannot tell me that's not chocolate 😋

Is it different from lead oil ground , in qualities and drying time ..also I always wondered why we should wait at least 6 months till the ground is fully dry...as most artists say ? Can't be considered as an ordinary painting layer and to be touch dry only ? Or that period is related to lead grounds only as I guess to adhere to fat over lean rule ..as lead white not chalk take much time to cure ?? ..iam always confused about that specific point ...thank you so much for your great content 🙏

This is the only ASMR I want

Hi, what about when you thin the oil down with solvent? Like turpentine? Is that making the paint even leaner? And could you let me know if using liquin (fast drying medium) is making the paint fatter? I get so confused. When I paint I use just solvent and liquin but I get confused on the order.

Benefits of oil ground: 1. Oil ground serves as a protective barrier between your paint and sized linen. 2. You can scrape the surface harshly to enhance layers & transparency without needing to worry about damaging the canvas. 3. The slick and smooth surface makes starting a painting quick and easy. The brush will glide across the canvas without the canvas ‘absorbing’ your color or sinking in. 4. The ground is colored to make achieving life like results as simple as can be. 5. Having mid tones already filled in means you can immediately begin to paint shadows and highlights. 6. Having this preparation allows you to intentionally leave transparency in your paint - knowing that it will support you on the base level. 7. Having the color on the canvas from the beginning will set the mood of your painting and create relative contrast.

The mixing in the flour example made it really clear. And yeah that makes sense. Don't put lean on fat

Wat is this plz tell me

First comment

My tubes of oil paint have seeped their medium oil out of the tubes.. I guess the pigment inside is the most pure the most lean possible

Also, u can put a texture under ur paper. As u work in mass (sculpting through adding/subtracting pigment) it will create natural abstraction on the drawing surface.

Every time i trying painting in oil colors it turn out really bad it does not even close to the reference. Even the sketch look as the reference and as mush as i tried to blind the colors to get the right one i fail. Can you give me advice? "I'm beginner "

Yes, bro. Why did you cut the hair???

Do you ever have issues with your ferrules separating from your handles?

I want to make a comment about your work because I appreciate your videos; however, the elephant in the room cannot be ignored. YOU CUT YOUR HAIR. I'm super bummed since it gave your profile the magnificent aura reminiscent of the images found in oil paintings. But if it was time, then it was time. I hope you like it and enjoy the freedom of the short layers :) I once cut my hair from the same length you had (if you straightened it) and went to a pixie cut. My neck decompressed for 3 days 😂. I missed it immensely, but I really hope you enjoy it. Thank you for the content and the teachings!

This is a strainer not a stretcher

Enjoyed this! Thank you, subbed.

you should do this live

Which white? Titanium? Zinc?

I actually thought that wasn’t a flat surface… each shade looks like its own facet.

Modern art is for money laundering

Thank you

Thank you

Is the black an ivory black? Really opening my eyes to KISS, "Keep It Simple Stupid"

Never let bro cook again

Am I colorblind or did you just mix orange and white at the end 😐

"You can just add blue to neutralize it until it's the right amount of--" Muddy blue.

that wasnt a muted orange in the end 😅😂

Ive had this problem for so long thankyou so much

I didnt think cocker spaniels could see in colour!?

get a dictionary.

nice man bun. Poor definition.

Understanding is so easy, yet we let ourselves misunderstand each other cause we would rather judge at face value than take the time to learn something

❤❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I just wanted to say that you seem like a very pessimistic person

Kemana rambutmu, Indonesia translate please

Yeah you know whose drawings didn’t feel alive? Leonardo. His use of lines really destroyed the effect of life and beauty. Your drawings, on the other hand, timid for fear of your medium, are so alive they seem to wish for death.

Can you also make a video on how to use a black paint properly😅😅... Most of the time when I use black colour it turns out to be too black that it doesn't go with the painting. So please make a video on how to balck color that blends perfectly. A response will be appreciated. Thank u😊
