PLease hit "LIKE"!!! Mr Dufek is kind enough to share his techniques with us, we need to return the generosity!

[@milandufek8151]

Thank you very much, Jim. I really appreciate it.

[@jimmccormick6091]

I have always had a hard time truly understanding the colors. In watching your videos, and seeing how and hen you use each color, I understand a little bit better each time!

[@milandufek8151]

Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

[@willettsfamily-treasure9855]

Beautiful piece! Following your tutorial, what is your drying strategy? Do you thin the paints, let each layer dry etc.

[@milandufek8151]

Thank you very much. There are many myths surrounding oil paints. They stink, take a long time to dry, are shiny...and other nonsense. Mostly from people who don't use oil paints at all... I work with a small amount of paint. The base is always matte (acrylic/enamel doesn't matter). Sometimes I prepare the paint - I suck up the preservative oil. As a thinner, I use linseed oil, AK thinner for enamel - odorless, White Spirit. I let each layer dry for the next day (sometimes more days - it depends on the color used). I'm certainly not in a hurry, it's not a race. Oil paints are about layers. I thin oil paints as needed. Sometimes not at all and sometimes quite a bit. It really depends on what I want to achieve, depict, paint...

[@berniescheid5286]

What type of paint are you using on the green palette? Oils or same ones for the spray painting? Great work!🇨🇦

[@milandufek8151]

The base colour is acrylic and text layer is oil colour.

Mr Dufek hello 👋 to you, one question is it the same dry brush you used for the whole face to do the blending

[@milandufek8151]

Hello Steven, Yes, this is an ordynary flat brush I us for blending oil colour. There is no need to have an expensive brush.

Great tutorial Milan 👏🏻 I’m just curious do you often paint acrylics over oil???I mean like eyeballs in this video 😮

[@milandufek8151]

Thank you. Yes, I dont have problem to paint acrylic over oil layer. It must be dry, but it works :o)

[@zhukie]

I almost fist-pumped when you broke out the greenish tones for the face lol But WHY??? didn't you let it linger on a nice still close up at the end! 🙄

[@milandufek8151]

Thank you very much. Thank you for your feedback. This is a good idea.

[@ihatemath551]

Wow, I never thought about blending the colors with a dry brush. Awesome technique, I should give it a try next time.

[@milandufek8151]

Thank you. Try it and you will see...it works :o)
