Good morning Conny. I watched this video so many times for I find it inspirational and instructive as well as I find the product is an admirable piece of artwork. Thank you for sharing it. A question that has been nagging is: when and how often do you use oil pastels taking into consideration that acrylic an oil don’t work well together?

[@ConnyLehmann]

Hello Salim Thank you very much for the kind and motivating words. I am very happy that you like the video. Now to your question: I don't use oil pastels at the beginning of a painting. Only for the next layers do I use oil pastels. So far I haven't had any problems with it, since I only draw lines or scribbeling with it. It will certainly be a problem if you paint areas with oil pastel and then go over them with acrylic. I hope that helps. Kind regards Conny

Hello. It´s a fantastic work. I like to know what materials you use. Is just white or white with gesso. And you use other materials..! Thanks.

[@joseluispinto5732]

You didn´t answer me..!

[@ConnyLehmann]

Hello José Luis, thank you for the kind words. In this work i use the titanium white heavy body from Golden Acrylics. I rarely use gesso. Mostly of my colors are from Golden. For markmaking at the beginning i use ArtGraf ( www.gerstaecker.ch/VIARCO-ART-GRAF-wasserloesliche-Graphitkreide.html ) and Art Chunkys ( www.gerstaecker.ch/CRETACOLOR-Art-Chunky-extradicke-Zeichenkohle.html ) . I've attached the links to you. Both are very powerful and water-soluble. To make them waterproof, I take a brush together with Golden liquid satin and mix the traces. Then i use some spatulas, brushes and several pancils like chinamarker and Derwents. I hope that helps you, otherwise get in touch. Kind regards Conny

Beautiful! So happy I discovered your channel! Can you tell me what shade of blue that is? It’s gorgeous! 😊

[@ConnyLehmann]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm glad to hear that you like my channel. The dark blue is SCHMINCKE PRIMAcryl® Fluid Prussian blue. I love this dark greenish blue. Hope that helps. Kind regards Conny

@@ConnyLehmann Thank you so much for your response!!! I have never heard of that brand before but will see if I can find it! ❤️😊

@@sheripalmer3192 Hello, It is a product of germain. I look for a link in american: www.dickblick.com/products/schmincke-primacryl-finest-artists-acrylic-paint . They have only the thick paint, but the Prussian blue is the same. Here is a link from england: www.jacksonsart.com/de-de/schmincke-primacryl-acrylic

[@sheripalmer3192]

@@ConnyLehmann You are so kind to go to that effort! I was able to find it through Amazon. I purchased the heavy body and the ink in that color. I typically use Golden ,Liquitex or Nova. I also discovered I had that color in Golden brand. I can’t wait to try out your technique and color scheme to come up with a creation of my own! You have really inspired me. Thank you again. 😉

[@ConnyLehmann]

@@sheripalmer3192 I'm glad to have helped you. I have a video titled color mixing for the next abstract painting. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpmypWVshL-NZrs There I also use the Prussian blue. I also really like using the brand Golden. Unfortunately, I was not able to discover such a beautiful deep blue at Golden. KInd regards Conny

[@AX1A]

great -- but as I often do, you seem to be avoiding [confrontation/commitment/interaction, etc with] the epicenter. Is that purposeful for you, as for instance, drawing attention by leaving space?

[@ConnyLehmann]

Hello and thank you for the comment. I always paint intuitively and without intention. There are also paintings of me that don't have that much free space. Check out my website: www.aquarelle-connylehmann.com I start a picture and just react to what shows up on the paper. Unintentionally. My motto is that I have fun while painting. The end result is secondary. Hope that helps. Kind regards Conny
