[@GailBurfoot]

You were born to teach

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Recognizing that was the first time in my life I didn't feel restive.

[@paulamcminn2532]

This is excellent! I have several paintings that needed this and I didn’t know quite how to do it. Now I can begin to tackle the job instead of fearing I would ruin my paintings. Thank you Dianne for explaining to us and giving us the confidence to complete our paintings as you have done with yours. You are such a unique and thorough teacher/coach who also paints very well herself. Love every video you’ve put out

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

New subscriber here, been binging on Quick Tips videos. I appreciate your skill as an educator. Thanks to your Quick Tips, I now have a much more thorough understanding of color mixing. Thank you! But now I also have the theme music stuck in my head as an earworm. um, thanks? 😂

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Yep, that theme really does become an earworm. At least is a happy one.

You’re welcome.

[@sandygardner8611]

Thank you so much- I’m very excited to bring out a couple of old paintings and give this a try! If they are a year or so older should they be cleaned first? And with what…….

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Yes, Sandy. Just clean them with rubbing alcohol applied with a lint-free cloth, such as gauze.

[@sandygardner8611]

@@IntheStudioArtInstruction thank you!

[@suzannezovath7869]

Is it a good idea to create the reflection in water (rivers, lakes etc) with glazing or veiling?

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Any technique that works to interpret anything you are painting is a good idea if it does the job. Techniques in painting are not limited to the subject being painted.

[@cynthiahalewijn6140]

This was again such a helpful demo, thanks so much! What I still don't "get" is: I am a "slow" portraitpainter, layer after layer, work thinly, and never know how many layers there are gonna be..Can I use liquin or another medium same amount every layer, I am so confused about this that it I am not painting "happily" anymore.. Hope you understand what I mean. Could you give me advise about this? Thanks very much in advance!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Cynthia, Liquin's purpose is to speed up the drying of oil paint, so as long as the layers are consistent in thickness, and the general same amount of Liquin is added to each layer, the painting should survive time without a problem. There is entirely too much hype over fat-over-lean. That idea became a concern when the art world noticed that paintings done early in the history of oil painting were cracking. Conservators diagnosed the cause as top layers of paint drying before layers underneath. They discovered that since it is the oil in the paint that dries, if subsequent layers are either equal in the amount of oil they contain or contain more oil than layers underneath, the cause of cracking is eliminated. That assumes no drying agent has been added. Modern technology has corrected much of that concern, first by making artist grade paints in tubes consistent, then by giving us the alkyd drying agents such as Liquin and Galkyd. The upshot of that is that time will be kind to your paintings if your layers dry evenly or if the bottom layers dry prior to the subsequent layers.

@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Thank you so much for your time and effort to answer so quickly and clearly!! I am much more confident now!! Very happy:)!

[@jodiking7983]

Can you use glazing with a transparent cool color to push part of the landscape back - instead of veiling? Thank you. DO love all you share! :-)

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

If it works visually, yes. The advantage of veiling is that the opaque paint in it mimics atmospheric particles in the distance, but sometimes, the atmosphere can appear to be clear.

[@b.comeau2597]

Never knew that veiling was an art technique! Thank you for demonstrating the difference! I wonder although it’s a new term, would the Hudson River School Painters have used veiling to depict the hazy distances of mountains and cliffs so prevalent in their paintings? I have wondered about their gauzy appearance .

[@ATINKERER]

Hi, I ran into a problem a few months ago because I glazed too soon. How can I tell if paint is dry enough to paint over with a glaze?

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

The painting should be dry to touch throughout. The length of time depends upon the thickness of the paint, the degree of humidity and the kind of and amount of oil in the paints.

[@ATINKERER]

@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Thank you!

[@joykalt7551]

Plz explain what flat over lean means. Im guessing it’s a term used with oils which I’m not familiar with, thx!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Please see Quick Tip 200 where I explain that.

[@Sandyt-d6v]

Is store bought walnut oil useable as a medium compared to art store walnut oil...price wise?

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

No. All of the oils we use in painting should be artist-grade. Otherwise, you risk impurities that can cause problems. Price-wise, artist-grade might be more expensive, but it's worth the extra cost.
