Improving my oil painting skills & HAVING FUN 🍄 oil paint with me + a cozy art vlog

I've been focusing a lot on improving my oil painting skills recently, and in this vlog we chill out and paint some mushrooms! Organic, colorful subjects like mushrooms are always super fun to paint, so hopefully you enjoy!
This video is a mix between an art vlog and an oil paint with me kinda video, hopefully it strikes the right vibe and keeps you company in your own studio

bad art is great, its mind freeing, fun and can actually help develop your skills 😀

[@KelseyRodriguez]

absolutely, creating garbage is 100% essential to the process

[@liasineadart]

I saw the mushrooms on the thumbnail and I immediately pushed the video🙃. Thanks for putting this out Kelsey, you inspire me to paint with oils💚💛 Merry Christmas!!!

[@KelseyRodriguez]

awwww!

[@lauram1288]

You have a scientific/analytical mind which I find to be your strength especially among other artists. Continue to incorporate this into your videos: telling us about your subject, talking about your process, etc. You have your own style that I find really different and appealing. Find your own tag line, the "drink water" thing is over played. Your uniqueness will pay off!

[@KelseyRodriguez]

Aww, thank you! Definitely still finding my footing here on KZbin, but the analytical stuff keeps doing really well so I'll be sure to keep it up! Thank you for your constructive comment, it helps a lot

[@sonyasupposedly]

You are so articulate, it's lovely listening to your thoughts!

WOOOOO TWO ALASKA MENTIONS

[@yuadelynn]

Hii, I'm just starting using oil paint but when I paint on the oil color pad it gets clumpy and not smooth. I tried mixing with water and it gets worst 😭. How do I deal with this problem?

[@KelseyRodriguez]

oil paints should never be mixed with water, you need to get an actual oil paint medium like linseed oil!

[@yuadelynn]

@@KelseyRodriguez ooohhh thank youu

[@yuadelynn]

@@KelseyRodriguez can I use turpentine?

[@nyxicide]

I hope the migraines are getting better

[@KelseyRodriguez]

I've been taking a bit of a break over the past two weeks, and it's definitely improved! Less really bright let and stress really helps. Thanks for checking in
