How to Paint Silver

[@jordanfalkum9204]

Hey. This was amazing and super helpful I also watched your brass and gold demo and thought that was also amazing. I love that you actually go over what colors to use and how to use them. thank you so much.

[@walcottfineart5088]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching :)

I have missed some of your videos but this is very educational and valuable information. Your videos are su a great source of inspiration. Keep up the great work. Blessings and all the best for 2023.

[@Love2pnt]

Enjoyed the simplicity of your demo. Very clear and concise.

[@sammykach2727]

Hi Jason, Hope you’re well, Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to teach, love your videos which I keep going back to and watch again and again, I was wondering if you’re doing any more on KZbin or anywhere else I can find you❤, a million 👍

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks so much for the nice comments on my videos and channel! I'm so glad you've found them educational. I stopped making videos during the pandemic lockdown and don't know yet if I'll make more. I do have a website/newsletter you can look at here: www.walcottfineart.com/newsletter-archive Enjoy! :)

[@ldypepper]

I could watch all day, so quick is not in my repertoire, thank you for your wonderful teaching skills...

[@cherylarmon2626]

This was an extremely helpful lesson. I struggle a lot and sometimes feel like just buying "silver" from the tube. But, I don't and keep on trying. I am going to try what you've shown me right now. I wondered, are you using acrylic or oil?

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you found my video helpful. :) Painting silver with actual silver paint won't work... silver looks the way it does because of the colors and values it reflects. Once you learn to really see those, it's much easier. I am using oils here.

[@davidgibson1342]

I just watched 3 of your short videos and they are the best online for easily painting metals. I was studying so I could paint metal roofs on barns and cabins. Thanks for sharing your talent in the most easy to understand video.

Jason, I continue to learn a lot from your presentations. The painting I won from you still has a prominent place in our living room, and I love it. Happy holidays to you and all your loved ones!

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks Brian! I am so happy you are enjoying my channel! :)

[@sebaez_]

Awesome video! Thank you very much! I’m starting to paint again after over 10 years and decided to try putting a silver tray over there in my first canvas. This help was tremendous!

[@Delta888ful]

Wondering if you have a suggestion or a video on the subject of mediums that can easily smear/create a powdery-like effect, like charcoal. I understand there are sprays used as "fixers" but all the ones I've found are more like a spray glue. Do you have any recommendations, have a particular brand you like, or have a video you can point me towards? Thank you!

[@walcottfineart5088]

In my own video on "Which Medium Should I Choose?" a portion of it talks about pastels which is a dry powder medium like you mentioned. I will be doing some future videos on just pastels, but I won't get to those for awhile. If you are interested in drawing media like Charcoal or Graphite, check out smoothie77. He's got some really great videos on those. For actual materials, take a look at Pan Pastels which are like pastels in cake form that you can apply with a tool. A great fixative I have found is the Degas SpectraFix. I've also heard good things about Lascaux. You can look for those online at Blick or Jerry's Artarama. Hope that helps!

[@Delta888ful]

+Walcott Fine Art Very helpful, thank you!

[@beckyholt]

Thank you Jason for taking time to out of your busy day to reply. Your work is much appreciate and I always leave with knowledge I never had. Looking forward to the next.

[@advocatesp7559]

I mainly use Payne's grey for silver. Coz Its a very cool grey. Am i wrong?

[@walcottfineart5088]

You can certainly use Payne's Gray in your mixtures as silver tends to have a bit of a violety tone to it, but you'll need more than one color to capture its look. The highlights and darker tones are usually a bit to the warm side.

[@advocatesp7559]

Walcott Fine Art Sure..will keep that in mind. Thanks Sir

[@HanaaAbduallah]

Thank you so much

[@keyuripalav]

Hey Jason thanks for the video! One question though 😳 can i use ultramarine blue as a substitute to phthalo blue?

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for watching! I think in this case you could probably use the Ultramarine. Silver has a slightly violety cast to it so this could work.

[@keyuripalav]

Walcott Fine Art thanks again😊

[@nevans859]

Beautiful, you do a great job explaining too. Thanks again!

What color do you use to tone the paper? Nice videos!

[@walcottfineart5088]

The tone is made with Gamblin's Raw Umber. Thanks for the nice comment and for watching! :)

[@drbob528]

Many thanks Jason. I still find it remarkable that the combination of so many dark colours with white can produce the beautiful lustre of silver. Clear and concise.

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed my video.

[@parvaiznaseem8831]

Was just planning a Chef Painting. This Silver and Copper Demonstrations will be of tremendous help. Thanks!!

[@nathanmeier9971]

Again Jason, the music you use makes this video almost unwachable. it's annoying and distracting. perhaps just lower the volume if you can't bear to part with it, but you REALLY don't need music. Also, you should set your camera's exposure and leave it. Every time you move your hand across the frame, the automatic aperture adjusts and your painting gets overexposed. Sorry to sound so negative, I'm really just trying to help.

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for the input! I will try to improve what I can. The camera is an inexpensive webcam so it has limited capabilities. I will play around with it. I am hoping to get a better camera at some point.

[@GodHammer227]

How do you get that semi-brown, almost rusticated look in your painting background? I'd love to do some work with that style of background, but I have no idea how to get the effect. I need a copper-ish brown tone. Any suggestions? Thank you so much!

[@walcottfineart5088]

It's really easy! I just take some Raw Umber and thin it down a lot with thinner. Thin like watercolor. Then you just scrub it into the canvas with a brush to tone the surface and let it dry for about 30 min. Working on a toned canvas is great because it gets rid of the glaring white and helps give to a mid-tone against which you can judge your colors. I'll do a video on it at some point soon. If you don't have any Raw Umber you can use a mixture of Ultramarine and Burnt Umber or Burnt Sienna.

Thank you!! Could I please Request you to post references on your videos?

[@walcottfineart5088]

I do typically try to post a reference photo in my more recent videos. In this case, I felt like it was more about the colors and paint application used to capture silver. You can apply those tips to any silver object of your choice :) Thanks for watching!

[@incredibleniharika]

Hello sir. I just love the way your videos make things so much easier to understand. And I’m a huge fan of your channel. 😃😃😃 I’ve a question also sir I often remain confused with what kind of colour I should use as a background for my paintings. I can’t help but notice that in all your painting tutorials you have used similar kind of background. So is there a technique that we have to follow here? Kindly help.

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks so much for watching and for the nice comments! I'm so glad you've enjoyed my videos. There are really no set rules for background colors, but you can start with a simple guideline like dark subject, light background, or light subject, dark background. Also in general, if your subject has warm colors then so should the background and same with cool colors. Although again there are no hard and fast rules. I do have a video on background colors that I posted awhile back. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHuynHingryhbKc Enjoy! :)
