The pre-mixing tip was something I didn't know until recently and it's why I didn't try oils for the longest time. I was always told that oils and acrylics can't be pre-mixed and therefore I assumed that they wouldn't work with what I'm used to with dry mediums or mediums that can be reactivated like gouache. However, knowing that they can be pre-mixed to maximize efficiency and that it's a matter of proper storage and preparation has been a huge motivation to explore this medium. I don't mind the time and efforts in pre-mixing. I would rather rake out as muc guesswork as I can so I can focus on learning in the moment.

I agree with everything you teach. But you also made me smile when you talked about beginners and showed a few very famous painters with a red cross through their paintings😂

Hi Nick, those metal tubes are tough to fill, sealing is messy,and hard to find. Jerry’s tends to carry them in bulk; amazon occassionally carries them in small quantities. Suggested solution: buy plastic syringe tubes (i.e. amazon 20 piece, 10ml, $14). There is a rubber washer at the start of the plunger that neatly scapes the paint down to exit. Also comes with cap or you can dip the point into vascline for sure tight seal. Furthermore, the syringes come in lots of sizes making filling easier. I very much like having premixed colors, find three values suffient to start the flesh string of values.

Thanks for the tip! I've got a load of them and have had the problem of keeping ready mixed paint fresh. Never thought of this. Sounds better than screw top tubes.

Hi Nic, I see a ot of me in your desciptions of the mistakes a beginner makes in portraits. I get too tight a become caught up on detail which is not the direction I want to travel in. I don't want to create a photo like image. People say i've got talent and like the imges saying it's like a photo and that's not where i want to go. Alexander.

Great advice all around, but I don’t know if it’s fair to say that you need to elevate beyond what you’re seeing and that not doing so is a waste of paint… that would be a matter of intention. You can be painterly and honest, honesty and truth is beautiful as well, as is the artists perception of what is perfect, which can be two different things

Hello Nick, I did not find this color the Chinese vermilion, does it have another name or a similar color, there is the Japanese orange and the vermilion orange. Furthermore, is this restricted palette of 4 colors only valid for portraits, I would like a palette for still lifes. Do you systematically scrape the whole face with the spatula? Your paint is very creamy, do you add a medium? how not to dirty the colors, you have to put a thicker layer or scrape and put a thicker layer.. do you have to mix the colors with a spatula...I use the translator, also because I am French and I hope you will understand me. Thank you for all that you bring.

the red cadmium light is similar to the Chinese vermillion red color but not as soft brown.

Some of these advices are not for beginners but for advanced artists, especially the using-big-brush one. I’m not saying using big brush is wrong but I won’t recommend that unless you know what you are doing. I would recommend beginners using a small brush at a small scale, finish that area towards the end, and then move to the next area, basically a “scanning” style. Small painting is always easier than large ones.

For health reasons I need to use Water Mixable oils (Cobra by Royal Talens). I’ve used the Zorn Palette before. For this demo can I use Pyrrole red, yellow ochre, titanium white and ivory or lamp black. I can’t seem to locate Mars Black. Also I can use up to 30% regular oil paint without losing the water mixable quality. P.S. I liked this so much, I joined your Patreon page right away. You are a very clear teacher.
