BEST WAYS to use OIL PAINT! Useful Painting TIPS!

[@lobitohusky2448]

Wow, I've been painting for 40 years and I'm telling you, I've never seen anyone try so hard and honestly to make their technique understood by amateurs and I'm telling you, everything you say is crystal clear to me, but it will take a long time for most. I love your work.

[@Kokoh15]

I feel exactly the same way!!!❤

[@lyndawoodruff7625]

I have learned more watching two of your videos about painting techniques than I have watching 50 other ones. I am getting ready to binge watch all of your videos. You are now my go to channel to get good useful information without any fluff! Thank you so so much!

[@PaulineMitchell-b9x]

Thank you for a fantastic tutorial.

[@SusiLuuna]

Thank you! This video taught me so much! I’m very new to oil painting and sometimes it gets very frustrating when the paint isn’t doing what I want it to😅

[@nikkiswenson54]

Sure glad you are teaching again, Scott. Hope all is well for you and your beautiful family. You are an outstanding oil painting teacher, and I know many! All the best for you, and I enjoyed your video very much today.

[@giovannisiano574]

I guess this is one of the most comprehensive guide to which materials to use with the best possible results. 10 out of 10!!

[@stephentravis2250]

Brilliant information Scott.

I bought an old glass computer table in a charity shop for £5.00. The top is the right height for me, the slidy shelf is where i keep my scraper, gloves and baby wipes for cleaning. The bottom shelf is useful for storing tubes in a badket. It even has wheels. Just brilliant. I painted the underside of the top with neutral gray. UK based.

[@Jay-bw3fl]

Thanks for all your awesome videos. You really are a great person for sharing.

[@janlee47]

Wonderful information- thank you Scott

[@anniestone4010]

Hi Scott, Love your work! Discovered your channel last month and I'm hooked. Already watched about 10 so far. Started painting about 4 years ago and moved from acrylic to oil in March this year. Your videos are so easy to follow. I've fallen in to the trap of watching too many different KZbin tutorials, most saying to paint loose. But I now know after watching your tutorials that my developing style is more realistic than loose. Many thanks and I will be joining your Patreon page. Keep those vids coming!

[@Danny-isauniquehandle]

The most useful advice for beginning painters ever. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@richardnagele5877]

Hey Scott love you’re work and videos, I use Artfix, all their linen’s are very absorbent, even their acrylic primed, i think your confusing them with Claessens, which I’ve used a lot in the past and their linen’s are almost nonabsorbent with a little absorbency. I’ve never tried centurion and plan on buying some next week, thank you again for sharing your experience and knowledge and awesome skills

[@bahumdinger8361]

Thank you Scott

[@AndyDePooter_Art]

The importance of the choice of painting surface can't be overstated. This year I've oil primed ACM and wooden panels in bulk, leaving me with slick surfaces with nearly no texture nor absorbency. Painting on them with this workflow was a nightmare. Terrible coverage, very hard to blend anything properly. After a few paintings, I tried staining the surface with a thicker stain to create some texture before starting the painting, but it's just not the same as linen. If someone comes up to me and asks me about learning to paint, the first thing I would talk about is the painting surface. From here on out, I'm switching back to oil primed linen and even acrylic primed cotton for some paintings. Anyway, thank you very much for covering this in great detail and confirming my findings!

[@cd2028]

I did a painting on a wood panel that I covered with a layer of gesso first. I've only done 1 painting ever so I have nothing to compare it to. Do you think the gesso would have given you enough texture?

[@AndyDePooter_Art]

@@cd2028 Hm, yeah, I mean, you can basically sculpt your own texture with gesso. For example, if you apply a thin layer of gesso, with a broad bristle brush, in a horizontal direction, let it dry, and then apply another layer in a vertical direction, you can somewhat mimic a cotton surface texture (also sand it lightly with a 220 grit once it's dry). On the other hand, you can also apply layers with a taping knife, creating smoother than glass surfaces, sort of speak. In that case, the smoothness wasn't so much the issue, it was the absorbency of that particular gesso I used. It was very difficult to work it, at least, if you want to achieve a result like Scott has. So overall, no matter how you apply gesso, it will have more texture than an oil primer, but it will also suck the oil out of the paint faster, making the paint dry faster, thus making it harder to work and blend with. Note: This has just been my experience so far.

[@sherylhatcher8881]

I primed a cotton canvas with red acrylic , then a layer of gold acrylic to mimic gold leaf. I then blocked in with a thin layer of oil paint and let it dry. I was really surprised at how easily the oil paint blended and covered when I worked on the Klimt/ icon portrait.

[@AndyDePooter_Art]

@@sherylhatcher8881 Interesting, I gotta try that!

[@KayInMaine]

My glass palette is one of those irritating glass cutting boards where one side is textured. I cut off the rubber stoppers with a razor blade and use that side (the smooth glass side) as my palette. Works amazing!

[@claraedouwesdekker6389]

Brilliant, as always! Thank you, thank you, thank you!🌷🇿🇦

[@saki3693]

Love your videos🙂

[@briankuehn5379]

Thank for this video!! I really enjoy your content!! Thanks for your time and effort!! A quick question about color choice. What is your take on using more toxic colors like the Cadmiums and lets say Cremnitz White. Why use them if there less toxic colors available of more or less equal quality? I would really like to hear what you have to say about that.

[@itsshepherd5618]

To absorb oil, I squeeze paint onto cheap white index cards (vs paper towel)

[@Broody58]

I take a new tube & tap the bottom on my palm over & over, packing the pigment to the bottom, raising the oil to the top. Turn the tube over on a paper towel, squeeze slowly from the bottom of the tube & the excess oil comes out. Works for me. You can make the paint very heavy the more you tap.

[@mythnow]

what a lovely video thanks!

[@sunilyadav-iv1cy]

Your work is so beautiful. Sir please tell the colour name also

[@LaoZi2023]

I like Windsor and Newton, recently I have been using Williamsburg paints, which are a wonderful consistency, and some colors that I haven't seen elsewhere.

[@jasonconn9551]

Great explanation 👌 👍 👏

[@Benwtradarchery]

Learned a ton from you and I appreciate ya! Wish I could leave a picture of a portrait that I've done, so you could see the improvement that I've made because of you!

[@plantagenant]

Handy tip from Louis Velsaquez to stop absorbent surfaces ( if you want to) is to paint with SKIMMED milk..you can do this on an unprimed masonite or any surface that has already been coated with an acrylic gesso. This is basically a watery protein that will dry hard and is archival. I've tried it and it works. I've also found Rowney Artist (professional) oil the easiest to work with from the tube... I believe they add a little wax to their formula but I like them , very buttery.

[@AnthonyGeorge-w2t]

Frank Slater,N.Rockwell gave great written painting lesson s.

[@Artinstruction4u]

I couldn’t understand what brand of synthetic brushes. Was it Dick Blick?

[@susanmaywald7589]

Yes. He said Blick round ..Their blue handled ones.

[@div6005]

Gosh from start of video watching the way you paint. I realized I work the same way. No art school or tutorial experience here

[@polly1141]

Hi, can you tell me if your paint is Winton Oil or artists range from Winsor and Newton? Thanks. Great video.

[@peacockandfig]

[@dr.truthteller9768]

Have you ever worked with Geneva paint, Mark Carder's brand?

[@-dougdoug-5181]

15:47 Have you tried preparing your palette with several coats (untill it stops absorbing it) of hardware store linseed oil? Usually over a couple of days.

[@Broody58]

I've been having a heck of a struggle putting paint on paint. It keeps beading up! I cannot figure the reason out. The only thing it may be, is I'm using boiled linseed oil from the hardware store. If i were to add oil to thin, say to get a nice flow through a needle brush for eyelashes...it beads & breaks apart. Any thicker, & i cant get that fine line to flow in one stroke. Anyone know? Spirits added still bead. Mainly micheal harding & winsor newton paints being used. Some m.h. i have to loosen up with oil, but it seems to happen on all colors.

What games do you play Scott?

[@RichardPhippsArt]

Hope you are feeling better now :) Are you going to describe your tips for painting in your style using Acrylics?! ;)

[@Danny-isauniquehandle]

What blue color is on Scott’s palette? I see it often in his videos but I don’t think I ever heard him mention it.

[@vinace1463]

Cerulean Blue by the look of it...I may be wrong

[@giovannisiano574]

The color is King Blue but I don't see it in W&N charts. You can make King Blue with Ultramarine, Titanium white and a very little bit of phtalo. I use manganese blue with white, whcih gives very similar results.

[@Danny-isauniquehandle]

@@vinace1463 Looks like you may be correct, in his how to paint the eye video he identifies the blue he uses as cerulean blue.

[@roughlyEnforcing]

how does painting compare to playing video games: which is more frustrating , rewarding or expensive ?

[@isabeedemski3635]

I plaY my game of 15 years for maybe $10 a month. I have many hundreds of dollars and time into painting and bading supplies. Many gammers spend more. Depends on your project sizes and production.
