This was very informative and I'd love to see more videos like it. I'd also love tips about using reddit to promote your art.

Very interesting 🙏thank you

Hey, thank you so much for making this video, as a beginner who’d like to avoid solvents, could you tell me more about how you achieved such fluidity in your brushstrokes and structured your process without using g them? Do you use other mediums to modulate the texture of your paint? If so, when/in what quantities do you use them throughout the painting? Thanks a ton for your help, it means a lot

Congratulations Alex, you are a magnificent artist. I noticed that the first layers of color you put are very light. When I put very light colors I can't pass darker layers over them, can you explain to me why this problem happens to me?

[@huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu22]

Lemme know if u found the answers

Thank you Alex. It was valueable to me watching your processa. And congatulatuons. That is a beautiful painting. A right drawing and adorable brushwork. May I ask you a question? When you stain your canvas with the light gray, do you wait It to dry? Therefore, this wash is thin? Thanks again and god bless you with a Nice year! As well keep blessing your craft!

[@alexkasyanartist5942]

@@davirosa my pleasure! I am happy you enjoyed it. The gray ground has to be fully dry prior to starting the painting. I prepare a batch of paper in advance.

[@davirosa]

@@alexkasyanartist5942 Roger that!! Thanks for your reply! It will be handy!! Do you use turpentine just in this stage?

[@alexkasyanartist5942]

Actually no turpentine at all, straight oil

[@claudiavillacorta4536]

How do you prevent pushing the pigment that has been placed in the anterior layer since the painting is still wet?

[@alexkasyanartist5942]

@@claudiavillacorta4536 the answer might be in using the right brush that is not too coarse. I am sharing some new videos of my painting class where you can watch my demo in real time and see the brush stroke application.

[@alexiacerwinskipierce8114]

I really want to see the painting in the upper right corner of the frame, the big one. Idk why its driving me nuts that I cant see it.

[@alexkasyanartist5942]
