I tried a wipeout and messed up 3 times 😅

This sounds like a smart technique, reminds me of that study on how human brains register light on dark easier than dark on light Usually refers to text but may work well for visual art

[@bhunyee]

what are the benefits of a wipeout versus, say, an acrylic underpainting?

[@Luna5094]

Good question, I dont see the point of this wipeout technique. I love using burnt umber or siena underpainting

[@cherlove404]

One reason i heard is acrylic can change the texture of the canvas

[@bhunyee]

@@cherlove404 i prefer painting on wood panels

[@Mambo1061]

To anybody in the comments alight with frustration because they need a quick definition of what this is: in somewhat imprecise terms it’s like a charcoal drawing where you erase the mid tones and highlights but with a sketch transfer brushed over with a layer of thinned umber using solvent as the eraser

[@valedro]

Looks like your painting is going to be beautiful! And I’m so jealous that you are so committed and dedicated to your work. I can’t seem to find anything that I want to commit to.

[@ChantelleArts]

this sounds like such a fantastic technique ☺☺

[@bluefox5331]

You say it was too light, but I honestly liked it at the wipeout stage too! The color is very pretty... Looking forward to seeing how this piece will turn out!

Spent 3 years in art school and never once heard about a wipe out technique O_O I even had 7 years of history of arts classes and again never heard of it. Interesting technique for sure, is this common ? moderne ? classical ? I'm just curious, Can't find the alternative in French terms

Do you have solvent on the brush when you're wiping out?

[@HappyDArtist]

I do not have solvent on my brush actually. I find that solvent makes the wipe out marks way too harsh and messy. Because the tone of the panel is still semi-wet, a dry brush that is frequently cleaned/wiped off on a paper towel is enough :)

Yay first here finally! Please do an acryla gouache painting next.
