Thank you for making this video. This is such a niche topic despite it being used by almost every professional artist, specifically with jewellery and fabric designs.

[@LukeDurdin]

Another amazing artwork and video!! Thanks for sharing! You did this in one session alla prima? Do you use thinner?

[@LukeDurdin]

No Problem, thanks so much for watching! this piece took 2 painting sessions of alla prima. I paint in sections when I know it will take multiple sessions so I can still achieve the same techniques and appearance. I have a solvent free studio and use Gamblin's Solvent free mediums. It does thin out the paint but not by much, I only use it to help with paint flow. maximum ratio I use is 20% medium to 80% paint, any more and you will experience cracking with this particular medium. Hope this helps!

@@LukeDurdin thanks! I use Cobra water-mixable oil paint, but mostly use acrylic, can’t seem to get the hang of it with oils 😅 But when I see you paint so peaceful in your videos… wish I could do that. Can’t wait for your next video 🤗🤗

[@LukeDurdin]

I always wanted to try water mix able oil paint but im to heavly invested in my oil paint collection 😅 I find acrylics dry to fast for me, I like being able to wipe away or rework paint. Just keep practicing and you will get there!

[@astridtermaat3854]

@@LukeDurdin do you know the product: Schmincke Medium W ? It can make your regular oilpaints water mixable. And I use Golden Open acrylics, they dry very slow, it’s amazing.

[@LukeDurdin]

Oh thats awesome! I'll have to do some research and check it out! Golden is the king of acrylics 👑

It's scary how long it took me to realize this 😩
