I've just started out with oils. But being forced to paint in my bedroom.. Thinners made my head spin and made me cough like I got tubercolisis😅. So I found out that there was something like water mixable oils. They are good.. very good! And even made by one of the brands that I love so much. What is even better is that here in the Netherlands where the brand comes from. Thinners are getting banned in art academies as well since it is not good for both health and nature. So the brand is thriving and they're evolving every day to get better recipies out etc. Thinners are getting out of fashion here and water mixable oils are becoming a hit. I'm so glad to have found your channel seeing you use this for glazing as well. I love that technique. It is favorite technique.❤ thank you for making this video and teaching others out there

Hi Liz ! Very interesting demo and good artwork. I have a question : Why does the glaze let white marks?
@LizGridleyArtist 2 күн бұрын
Hi Jasmine, I had a look through the video - do you mean at 11:32? and later again on the final painting? What I think you're seeing is the 'wetness' of the glaze creating 'shine' marks on the tooth of the surface (that is any and every raised dot of dust in the primer paint) dotted through the paint strokes, as light hits the surface on different angles. In the top down view theres no marks but up close with sideways light from the window in 11:32 or later on the easel im using a close direct studio light attached to my easel so I can paint at night, this looks like white marks as I paint down? But they arent white pigment, just lots of little dots of shine, these calm down when the painting is dry & is in different lighting situations. I hope that makes sense!

Hullo Liz, a very sweet video and I hope to see more! I would love to see someone work with the Chelsea Lavender products. I suppose they are designed for regular oils but without petroleum bases they should work well with water soluble oil paints as well, right? Ah well thanks for a lovely video.
@LizGridleyArtist Ай бұрын
Hmm honestly I'm not sure I personally haven't used the Chelsea range (I'm a little hesitant as Lavender oils contain a compound called 'linalool' which is toxic to dogs when ingested or (more likely) breathed in over a long period - this has been found more in the car of using essential oil diffusers in the home, but it's enough to make me cautious with my dog who comes into my studio)
@LizGridleyArtist Ай бұрын
My other worry, in terms of using mediums with water mixable oils is if you use mediums that aren't designed with the emulsifier additive (that water mixable brands use in their mediums to break down the oil when walking up with water) then you'd have to go back to washing your brushes with solvent and/or soap to clean up at the end of the session, sort of negating the water mixable effect The emulsifier doesn't just break down petroleum based fast drying components but the linseed oil base of the paint itself. (Which is normally broken down by solvent when cleaning)

If you us linseed, can you use a protecting coat over it?
@LizGridleyArtist Ай бұрын
Yes a protective coat would be a varnish! There are lots of different options, you just need to adhere to recommend dry time for the painting first on the varnish bottle. Traditional varnishes for oils like Damar varnish ask that painting is dry for 6-12 months before varnishing I love using Gamvar varnish(by Gamblin) this is an breathing/open varnish which lets the linseed oil continue to cure through the varnish. It comes in gloss, satin & matte finishes, Artwork is touch dry when you can press your fingernail into the thickest paint but and it doesn't dent.

Thank you Liz, inspiring for a beginner in everything and lovely to see the result from working on paper too. I am aiming to paint solvent free - I learnt recently that odourless solvent is even worse because you can't smell the impact of the fumes in the studio space.
@LizGridleyArtist 3 ай бұрын
The more you can restrict solvent use the better - I still use traditional oils too but I use solvents only for cleaning up at the end of the session & leave the studio with an ajar window so it can vent easily without me sitting in any fumes - as long as you can do the best you can for you, it limits how much exposure you could be under.
