I love your painting and I may try a looser style. I just started painting with oils and decided to paint one large rose. My colors while painting looked vibrant but once dry were extremely muted.

Thanks so much for your tutorial. I love your loose approach. What colours are you using in this painting?

[@LiviaDiasStudio]

Hi Jane, I used burnt Sienna, yellow ochre, ultramarine blue for background. Cadmium yellow, titanium white and primary magenta (Maimeri Puro) for flowers, plus reflections from background colours. Full tutorial available from my website. check the video description for more info! cheers

Beautiful tutorial and demonstration, thanks!

[@lisengel2498]

Is it water oils? You block the first part in with very thin and runny paint

[@LiviaDiasStudio]

Lis Engel I make a lean medium mixture of 5 part of mineral spirits to 1 of linseed stand oil for the washes. It can be done with the water mixable oils as well, by mixing water with it.

[@lisengel2498]

Great demonstration - I would like to watch it in normal tempo - like a meditative observation

[@LiviaDiasStudio]

Lis Engel thanks! I've been working on some online courses that will launch soon. There I'll have normal speed videos, lessons and very detailed, explaining every thought and principle behind what I do. Coming soon! I'll keep you posted.

helpful!

[@timsmith6119]

Loved your technique, loved the way you started and ended!!!

[@lisengel2498]

But then I have one question more, when you paint the petals with your wonderfull free moving brushstrokes, do you then use the oilpaint without medium?

[@LiviaDiasStudio]

Lis Engel I work from thin to thick and wet into wet on that painting. Every time I create a new layer I decrease the amount of medium. So the last and thick layer I don't use any medium, just paint. So, if I have three layer of paint on an area, first is like a wash, second I use just a bit of fluid mixed with the paint, and on third layer no medium

[@safi456]

Hello, I'm really keen to follow along with you, but Ive never done oils in my life. I dont even own any. Im a watercolourist, and have recently bought acrylics because Ive seen them used to look like watercolours (by adding water or medium) as well as oils (by painting them thickly). May I ask, could I follow along using acrylics or will I get a totally different result?

[@LiviaDiasStudio]

Hi Safi, you can use acrylics, no problem. you can work similar to watercolour if you want it to look like it. Or you can work with acrylics thickly to mimic oils. If you mix bigger piles of paint and paint fast, there is no issue with acrylics. Have a go and let me know how it went! Best wishes!
