Green Aurora Borealis Mountain Waterfall Beginner Oil Painting Tutorial

Today we painted on 15x30" Black Canvas using Thick Oil Paints with Liquid Clear. Colors will be listed below. I look forward to seeing your painting! Send in pics via Facebook Messenger to / paintwithjosh
Colors : Phthalo Green, Sap green, Phthalo Blue, Alizarin Crimson, Midnight Black, & Titanium White
Tools : 1" & 2" Brushes, 2 Fan Brushes (Size : Whatever works best for you. One needs to be larger than the other), Palette Knife, & a Script Liner Brush.
Canvas Prep : I took a 15x30" Black Canvas from Michael's or Hobby Lobby out of the pack and put it on my easel. When it came time to paint this scene, I applied Bob Ross Liquid Clear to the entire canvas and then wiped the excess off with paper towel. I added Phthalo Green and Sap Green in different areas across the whole canvas, and start painting. I show you everything else on screen

Thanks

[@LollyGaggler]

Thanks for the details about Kneading the tubes the beater bucket the liquid clear any mediums and stating what you use for cleaning aka odorless mineral spirits etc I do have a question I just made what I think is a great beater bucket 5 gallon bucket lined with a plastic kitchen trash bag and a metal raised plant stand grid thing to beat against... here is the question... do I need anything else in the bucket to absorb the beaten thinner ? or just let it pool in the bottom? does it evaporate? do I need a lid on bucket when not using it? I think this is the video I am going to try with my Meeden paints ... wish me luck!

[@PaintWithJosh]

You can cover it. It will evaporate and leave the solidified paint in the bottom. You'll have to change the bag every so often. And covering it is a good tip

[@janajana1345]

How can I make my aura like yours? Yours is so shiny and realistic with the way the white blends with the other colors. I've tried to do it many times just like you did, but I can't make it super shiny. Can you help me?

[@PaintWithJosh]

Wet paint underneath and drag the white across it

[@ArmyOt7jk]

Would it be this smooth if I paint this with the acrylic paint?? It’s looking easy to blend and not gets dry easily like acrylic paint.

[@PaintWithJosh]

Acrylic doesn't work the same as oils do

[@mariejohnson6316]

Would water mixable oil paints work with the style of painting you teach? I want to do some of your tutorials, but my space isn't well ventilated, so I thought maybe the water mixable oil paints would be less toxic. Thanks!

[@PaintWithJosh]

Yes. I know Bram uses water mixable and they're vidry similar

[@mariejohnson6316]

Thank you!

[@abbybrown3068]

This is probably a dumb question but is the canvas already black or did you paint it black?

[@Asuna-de1yg]

it's so pretty , what is the suze of canvas

[@PaintWithJosh]

It is a 15 x 30

[@LaMinh-bj1de]

Hey can I paint a white canvas black and wait for it to dry instead of buying a black canvas? 😢

[@PaintWithJosh]

Yes. You need Liquitex Acrylic Black Gesso. Dries in 10 mins and then add clear and start painting

[@FatimaAhmad-qh5uv]

❤

[@PaintWithJosh]

🥰🥰

[@hatrithu5125]

Can you tell me what solution you dipped your brush in at 12:08 pls

[@PaintWithJosh]

Odorless Mineral Spirits

[@hatrithu5125]

​@@PaintWithJosh We need to dip to be able to pull the aurora like minute 15:18, right 😢

[@jaemontano1063]

Jae .what size is that canvas .?

[@PaintWithJosh]

[@423theresaable]
