Ol' Dutch masters used to prime the canvas with a brown wash first, then sketched the dark values followed by the light ones. Speeds up the process and a really fun way to work. Also puts colors into an environment already. Might be fun to try that as well sometime.

[@susannebukatz4457]

All the work you put in this paid off. The painting and the video highlight your skills and the love for your art.

[@omnesilere]

Hey SLEW! Nice job. Get yourself some 100% clove oil, add 2 drops to each of your paint piles (seems right for the size) and they will stay open for a week to two. The freezer thing is OK but when you bring them out they get condensation on them and keeping water off your oil paints is gonna better for them. Or at least just make sure you wait for them to condensate and then completely evaporate before using them. Keep up the work. Peace!

[@autecology]

I read in an old beginners oil painting book from the 50s that said to scrape your paint off the pallet onto a small piece of glass and put it under water to store it. Pretty neat idea

[@ramata1962]

Just a wonderful video Slew you did a great job. I loved the you captured the Rembrandt flavor and made it your own. Your choices were so interesting and successful. Dutch Master. Real joy to experience.

[@flamingorock]

Wow. I knew you were academically trained but dude this portrait is great. I'm impressed. I was looking at it thinking how solid it was and then it hit me... It's the limited palette! The palette helps so much man. Great job dude. Keep it up.

[@clauddieghdecoline8099]

Thank you for also sharing how you took the photo in march several months ago. As a fellow artist who has many more ideas than time to execute, its really nice to know that other artists who i look up to, who seem to crank out amazing piece after piece, also sometimes get backlogged by life and that art is allowed to take time. Its too easy to pressure yourself to get every project done ASAP just because youre excited and more ideas keep popping up on the horizon

[@jayly7453]

You Slew are from a long line of ye oldie art apprentices.🧑‍🎨 It’s beautiful seeing the methods from the old masters still having value today. I love how your a KZbin creator into cameras, lights and all the technology, while at the same time loving the old portraiture and everything they did 100’s of years ago. Awesome vid . ❤️🇦🇺❤️✌🏾✌🏻✌️

I really like the style of ur drawing very unique bro.

[@diamondlenasan]

Loved it, and all the work you put in. Tell my students, this is how it's done. A question about your paint in the freezer: When I began to paint, I used a controlled palette, in which 8 or more colors were all mixed into 10 values, like a grid. Needless to say, this took forever,and you wanted to use it for a while. We used clove oil to keep our paint workable for quite a while. Are you familiar with that? Works well, no skin, just a drop or two with earth colors needing more as they dry more quickly. Your enthusiasm for all you do, especially from a young artist, is refreshing. Keep it up.
