[@kathyb5740]

Having never worked with oil pastels I was amazed at how well they spread with the wedge ! Will be trying this....

[@LisaBBoardwine]

I absolutely love the creaminess of R&F pigment sticks ~ super jealous of those LOL And that embossed paper technique revealing the undercolors ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Sherry, they are truly amazing aren't they?! Using anything the is "raised" or embossed makes great texture!! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@judithclendenning4146]

Thank You Lisa.. yet more tools to play with! Thank you. Also like the idea of using embossed paper! ♥️🎨

I have never thought of using the embossed paper. Great idea, great video as usual.

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Thanks for watching Lynn! The embossed papers work great! Give them a try!

Thank you!!!

[@amyhwhitehouse1042]

Thank you for sharing. What kind of tape do you use? I often get bleed-through even though I press tape down firmly.

[@claregodleski1728]

What did you spray the piece with before you wiped it? It created "spots" and nice texture. Thank you.

[@LisaBBoardwine]

I use Gamsol-odorless mineral spirits! Thanks for watching!

[@gailclaypool8391]

Hi Lisa, I can not find my R&H sticks, but found my Sennelier oil pastels. I was wondering if I could use these instead? Looking for my Sticks I found my embossed paper, yea, now I can use it. Thank you for sharing this lovely painting and learning so much from you.

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Gail, thank you very much for watching my channel! So glad you are learning some new things from them! The Sennelier oil pastels are beautiful- but they do not react like the R&F oil sticks. I use the oil pastels for mark making, usually towards the end of a painting, but I use the R&F's all through the painting process. The R&F's are very creamy and can be used for mark making, covering, blending etc....Hope this helps!!

[@gailclaypool8391]

Thank you Lisa, I figured they were not creamy enough. I ordered a set of R&H from Amazon and they just arrived. I will be busy tonight experimenting.

[@moondigit007]

Best I've seen in using oil sticks sparingly with your great techniques.

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Many thanks!!!

[@maryscheel8564]

Beautiful technique, can't wait to try this, I kind of like the blue painters tape on edges would not remove it.

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Mary, so glad you enjoyed this video!! The blue tape protects your border, so you can mat and frame it in you choice after finishing the piece. It is so fun to peal the tape!!!

[@giovannipaul2481]

I realize Im kind of off topic but does anybody know a good website to stream new tv shows online?

[@kevinboone5015]

@Giovanni Paul lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)

[@brocklukas2015]

@Kevin Boone yup, I have been using FlixZone for years myself :D

So cool! What did. you spray on it?

Nice piece, Lisa!

Many thanks Linda!!! xo

[@dianehansma1725]

Do you frame these in glass frames? Beautiful..as always!!!

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Diane, the paper pieces I frame with a mat, glass and frame, and the pieces on panel I add a hanger to the back and they are ready to go! I leave the cradled natural. Thanks so much for watching my KZbin channel!!

I like #2, best👍

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Thank you for your feedback Elizabeth!!!

[@catyeah8592]

Love this piece! Now you've sent me searching through all my scraps to find textured papers. Thanks for this idea! Are you going to do a part 2 on this one? It would be great to see what happens when you apply paint over the dried texture. Thanks and hugs, cat

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Cat, so glad you enjoyed this video! This one is a wrap! No Part 2 on this one. Embossed paper is so fun to work with! Thanks so much fpr watching!!!

[@katmcgee9516]

So this was done a la prima? And was it sprayed. With turpentine for the spotty technique?

[@LisaBBoardwine]

It was done a la prima! I use odorless mineral spirits for my spritz!

[@SangiovanniOmar]

Cool 😎

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Thank you!!

[@arielpustilnik464]

My teacher says, that a work is well done when you look at it in different ways, and it always looks good, and this is the case!

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Ariel, thank you very much for your kind comment!!

[@optitubelive]

Awesome work! Would you mind telling me where you get the embossed paper?

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Thank you Doug for watching! I usually purchase it at scrapbooking supply stores or art stores. It is fun to use!

[@MarinetteMenominee]

I immediately subscribed. I just don’t see why Lisa you would want to use blue tape for your border instead of white or off white?

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Jimmer E, thanks so much for subscribing! I use the blue, low adhesive tape or the white artist tape- just to protect the border while I paint. I always suggest to my students, if the blue tape bothers you visually, use the white. The blue is usually less expensive however!

[@know_Name]

fun :)

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Thank you!!!!

[@carolratcliff]

this looks so fun! Lovely work...Where did you get the Embossed paper to press into the paint?

[@carolratcliff]

Also how long does this take to fully dry?

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Carol, thanks for watching!! I buy paper from scrapbooking shops, through amazon and anywhere I can find interesting papers! The search is part of the fun!

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Carol, drying time depends on several factors. Temperature and humidity can play a part in drying time, as well as how thickly or thinly your layers are. But usually they are dry within 3 weeks or so.

[@marymary5494]

Inspiring Thank you 👌

[@LisaBBoardwine]

So appreciate you watching my videos, Mary!!

[@marilynkleinhans8221]

How long does it take these paints to dry on canvas over acrylic? i used them as marks and accent lines and now have no idea when they will be "cured".

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Marilyn, The R&F oil pigment sticks are made with natural wax (beeswax & plant wax), linseed oil, and pigment.Therefore they will take longer to dry than the oil paint mixed with cold wax on our palettes. But depending on the humidity, temperature, airflow etc. they should be dry or at least setting up within a week or so. Also it depends on how thickly or thinly you apply them.

[@delhyde2]

Oil paints are tactile dry in a few days-week, that is dry enough to apply another layer of paint over top but it's not cured. Curing takes much longer. Oil paintings can take up to a year or more to dry fully. Oil paint can even still continue to 'move' after a year, it is just the nature of the paint. Please do not varnish anything before about a year has passed as the oil paint will continue to dry underneath and your varnish will crack and dull your painting. If you work in layers there are some lovely tricks like polishing a tactile dry layer of paint with an oil medium applied to the whole painting with a soft rag, oiling out. This is to bring out the vibrancy of the oil paint's colour and even out the shine of the paints between layers that way you don't neccessarily need to rush to varnishing to enjoy those deep rich colours. There are also drying mediums like Liquin to speed the drying time. Worth looking into different ways oil paint is applied to understand the impact on drying time like; fat over lean (starting with thinned layers of painted followed by thicker and thicker layers), impasto (applying thick layers of paint) and alla prima (doing the whole painting in 1 to 2 layers only) etc.

[@abdelfettas6089]

Hello Lisa, am a big fan of your art and technique. In one of your video you said we can use oil paint over acrylic paint but not the opposite. We still cannot use acrylic over oil paint even if the oil paint is dry? Thank you for clarifying the matter.

[@LisaBBoardwine]

abd, Thank you so much for watching!! And you are right! You can Never use acrylic over oil!! You can do a complete under painting in acrylic -then paint on top with oils or oil/CWM. Hope this helps!

[@abdelfettas6089]

Lisa B. Boardwine thanks for your reply Lisa, what i meant is can we paint with acrylic over a very dry oil painting, like for example a small cat in acrylic over a dry wax oil painting. Thank you.

[@LisaBBoardwine]

abd elfettas abd, I don’t recommend ever adding acrylic paint on top of oils!!

[@delhyde2]

@@abdelfettas6089 Usually you don't paint acrylic over oil because acrylic is a water based paint and the presence of oil paint underneath might prevent the acrylic paint from adhering to the surface. It can impact the archival longevity of the work, but if you want to experiment go for it. I have painted acrylic over oil and it's still holding up after 11 years. I wouldn't go overboard and there are a few things you could try to help it stick. If you know exactly where on the painting you'll be applying the acrylic you could experiment with lightly sanding the exact area. Make sure the oil painting is dry so give it a year to dry completely. Still not something I would do for a commissioned work, more a personal project.

[@carolineullrich7323]

Can you combine wax on top of wet oil, or will that was just end up coming off, falling off. Somwhere along the lines of: oil/ acrylics or acrylics/oil?? Oil/wax??

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Caroline cold wax can be mixed with oil paint to give it more body, make it dry faster and give it a matte finish. It also extends the paint and gives emphasis to texture. You can use clear cold wax as a final varnish also, let completely dry then lightly buff with a soft cloth for a sheen.

[@delhyde2]

Generally you don't mix mediums like cold wax into oil paints directly on the painting because due to the nature of the ingredients of oil paint you have to really work it in to get it to combine. That might prove a bit too rough for what you have painted underneath. In this way it isn't as forgiving as acrylic paint which you can blend things together on the canvas.

[@lilianacurzi1289]

Excellent!!!!Is that a stamping paper?do you do it?Thanks, Lisa!! It's beautiful!!!!

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Many thanks Liliana!! It is embossed wallpaper!!

[@TheJudy1230]

which colors were cold wax? do you color your wax with oil paint? love this I needed something new since I have been blocked lately

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Thank you for watching Mollie! I used oil paint- mixed with cold wax medium- in a 50:50 ratio. The R&F oil pigment sticks have a certain amount of wax in them as well, so you can use these at any time during your painting. Using oil paint mixed with the cold wax --helps speed up the drying time of the oil paint too!

[@bobworthy7001]

Does a piece done on the MultiMedia Artboard require framing or can it be mounted onto a panel like the Arches Oil paper?

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Bob, You can mat and frame them , use a spacer and a frame, or mount them on a panel! Different ways to showcase works on Multimedia artboard!
