Painting Thick and Juicy with Debra Huse

[@lindashaw3805]

One of the best demos on the channel and Ive watched so many! Thank u!

[@yelenafurer541]

I enjoyed watching Delta's smooth panting, her strong brushstrokes, the conversation. Thank you!

[@yelenafurer541]

Debra's brush strokes are so powerful, juicy. She created a gorgeous picture in a short time. Want to see more of her work, it's so inspiring. Thank you!

[@janetmoyer8603]

Thanks for this demo. I've been playing with watercolor for >7 years, and recently started playing with oil. It really helps to see how you apply paint, especially making a stroke and leaving it alone. I'm going to try that while painting tomorrow! Great demo Debra.

Wonderful to watch you paint. Very helpful. Thank you

Cool one, as always, Eric and Debra! Yes, as my great workshop teacher, in Tahoe, years ago when I first started plein air painting (mid-90's), T.M. Nicholas, always said, when looking at our palettes, with "stingy" amounts of paint on them, "Forcrissakes, man, (or woman) Use some Paint!! They'll make More!!" You guys can use that one, if the need arises, as you teach! LOL ;D Also, many years ago, early 2000's I was "on the circuit" of plein air events, mostly in CA, at Sonoma, San Luis Obispo, several years there, and eventually twice at Estes Park. Fun story: that very scene, Debra, I was painting there in RMNP (Morane creek?) and this young guy came around the bend there, wading and fly fishing. So, I quickly "dashed him in" the landscape, I was doing on 8x10 or 9x12, can't quite remember. Anyway, in a few minutes he stopped by, saw my painting, and said: "Hey, that's me!", and I said "yup". Long story short, I sold the picture on the spot, $400 I think. He was from Denver, went home and came back few days later and the painting was ready for him, sort of dry and framed. Actually, his dear wife, who came with him, bought it as gift for him! : ) Prety cool huh. Yup folks, everyone who paints outdoors will have some great stories, as all of you guys know. Cheers! Later! :D

Thanks Ron!

[@ronschlorff7089]

You are welcome. A word about your "gizmo", looks interesting, would be useful especially for urban scenes with figures. I think Eric "hawked" some sort of "value glasses", with red lens, a few years ago. I've had "value glasses" since the mid-nineties, red sunglasses, with wrap around chrome plastic frames, that I got on a visit to Las Vegas from a street vendor for ten bucks. They work pretty well, but it is also difficult to not slip onto a cheesy Elvis impersonation when I have them on!! "Ha huh ha, ha haw haw, ah huh huh!! ..Well thank you, Momma, ...thank you very much!!" LOL :D@@debrahuseressel

[@KEEllinghouse-ze4st]

How exciting! Looks so easy, so fresh and of course juicy! I'm gonna practice 'cause I might be able to do that. Thank you Eric and Debra.

[@janejohnson7006]

I am amazed at how she develops this painting. Not sure l’m into thick & juicy but this is very exciting. USA

[@elizabethvcaffrey6353]

Debra’s tips are so good even though I am using water color I will use most of her techniques to experiment especially liked looking away from view in nature then look back to clarify real colors thanks from The Villages Florida

[@joanspecking5383]

I really enjoyed watching this from Helena, Montana!

Such a great demonstration, I love Debra's painting. :)

[@debrahuseressel]

Thank you Jade!!

[@williamronne699]

I have learned to clean my brushes with cheap veg. Oil for most of the paint. Then Murphy's oil soap or Dawn dish soap and that with some clean water to rinse with. I end up with clean brushes and no mineral spirits exposure. Mineral spirits has caused my skin to break out etc. from 50+ yrs of painting. I thin my paint with walnut oil and use liquin for medium.

[@debrahuseressel]

Great idea!

[@Cristina_C7]

What do you think of baby oil to clean brushes?

[@tacticalskiffs8134]

@@Cristina_C7 A lot of people like it, but it is non-drying so if you decide to use it be sure you get it out.

[@tacticalskiffs8134]

Liquin is toxic so that may be something to keep one's eye on.

[@ronschlorff7089]

yes, it may be ok outdoors with plenty of ventilation, but I would never use it in the studio!!@@tacticalskiffs8134

Do you use medium what kind Tom from Lee, Mass

[@douglasriddle6447]

The Design Finder looks like a great little tool, but the 12.00 shipping costs is a bit steep.

[@debrahuseressel]

Shipping and handling includes bubble wrap and padded envelope for safety :) Part shipping, part paying helper to safely get it to you xo

[@karenwerner6560]

“That’s a hot mess, Debra”. “Well thank you. “. 😂

[@ronschlorff7089]

All plein air paintings start that way; if not, you are likely going to fail! ;D

I thought you can by this by Jackson. The plastic for draw on.

[@McConneyv2]

I would say mix paint with a palette knife you will always us more paint that way

[@jpecci1262]

I prefer generously applied paint. Try not to be afraid to use paint - if affordable. It can be hard to resist reaching to touch one of the juicy paintings in gallery or museum.

[@organicpaul]

Great hour!
