Learn to Paint FLOWERS like this!! A NEW AIRBRUSH PAINTING Tutorial (part 1)

[@TheDarkArtist66]

You killed this painting and your art history lessons are always great. You teach us something new and old which is cool. I had never heard of Clara Peter's but that painting of the flowers is just plain awesome. Yours was my favorite because that's what I'm into. See you next time

[@theartworkshop]

hey thanks so very much for the kind words! I never heard of her either until I saw that painting in the museum years ago. I bet there must be many thousands of great artists through the centuries that we never hear of. There is just so much incredible art out there though!

Great video, Mark. I enjoy learning about art history and which paintings you are inspired by. Keep it coming!

Thanks so much, Michael! Greatly appreciate it

[@maquismark5852]

So excited about this lesson Mark! Fantastic choice! I really enjoyed your brief art history discussion and I am in love with that painting of Clara Peeters. I will be checking out more of her work for sure👍 Thank you for bringing her work to my attention. Cheers mate👍✌

[@theartworkshop]

Thanks Mark! It's a fun one to paint. I never heard of anything about Clara Peeters but saw that painting in the museum years ago and thought it was just incredible. She's an awesome artist.

Really great video. I like to hear your art history musings. I had a bit of an altercation with my painting this week. I think the wrong surface and a subject i was not really enthusiastic about. I think a nice flower still life may well be the antidote.

[@theartworkshop]

Thanks Ken! I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes the enthusiasm isn't there for a specific painting and it make the whole process a challenge. You have to go for the things that get you excited about painting!

Mark- how have you been?! so glad to hear you enjoyed this one. It's a fun one to paint. Hope you are well my friend!

[@marcogutierrez8669]

My fairly new interest in airbrushing is why I was drawn to your channel. I am a 60 year old male with an enthusiastic love of art yet little experience in its production. Usually more of a dirty greasy hands mechanical character. To my own surprise I am finding extreme satisfaction in attempting artistic creation . One question please. An obsessive trait that lives within me has led me to quickly try different art media. Logic tells me that I may be bitting too much at once . What are your thoughts on delving in different media at once . BTW really appreciate that you share your thought process so clearly and the historical bits are great .

[@theartworkshop]

Thanks so much Marco. So awesome to hear you getting into art- I guarantee you that your mechanical background will serve you well in art/painting! I've jumped from one medium to another constantly when I started out. I think it's the best way to find what you love. No medium, technique, or tool is better than any other- I'm a firm believer in that. Find what you enjoy using, what you like to make, and enjoy that process. So many amazing mediums out there.

[@dredfxcustompaint]

Brilliant information as always thanks for sharing

[@theartworkshop]

Thanks so much Rob!

What?! Thanks so much! I just got on youtube now and haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I'll check it out now. @@dredfxcustompaint

[@marcogutierrez8669]

Thanks!

[@theartworkshop]

Marco, that is so nice of you! Thank you so very much for this!

[@louisliguore7199]

Great tutorial, and I love the art history. I have Gessoed several canvas panels using your technique and it produced an amazing painting surface, the only problem I have had is that the larger panels have a warp when they dry, how can I flatten them? Or how can I prevent the warping?

[@theartworkshop]

Thanks so much! I just love the gessoed surface so much. What type of panels are you using? That's the reason I prefer canvas over panels- since you stretch them, they never warp. I found panels to be amazing for smaller works (under 4ft) but once you get larger the panels need to be supported and cradled by wooden bars so that they don't warp. Higher end brands like Ampersand make some amazing larger panels, but they get so expensive! I made a few 8ft panels in the past and it was a fair amount of work build the supporting frame.

[@louisliguore7199]

@@theartworkshop Currently I am using Asani canvas panels, the biggest I have used so far is 11X17, but I hope to get to 18X24 in the future.

[@arthurdeleniq]

can you just answer me a quick question ?? can you make some videos about respirators ? what you use ? thanks

[@theartworkshop]

You need to reach out to the paint manufacturer for the right answer on this. Any good paint brand will tell you their recommendation for a respirator and how to use it their products. That's what I would recommend.

[@arthurdeleniq]

@@theartworkshop thank you i will

[@SwiftSlots]

Hello, Have you ever tried Schmincke Airbrush paint (ink) I have been asked to use it to paint a model and never used it before. I can't find any info on the net about it. Thanks .

[@theartworkshop]

No, but it is one of those paints that I've heard such great things about. Supposed to be high quality paint. The only reason I haven't bought them is the price. They are expensive!

[@SwiftSlots]

@@theartworkshop Well, I have many models to paint with my newly needled and sealed Eclipse, and I have been given about 40 of these paints, so I will report back to you 🙂 Thank you for the reply.

[@theartworkshop]

Yes, please let me know your thoughts on them. I'm curious about how strong/wear resistant they are. I'll pick them up one day for sure@@SwiftSlots

[@mikeszczutkowski3066]

Can you use an airbrush to lay down gesso

[@theartworkshop]

too thick for that. I'd go with an hvlp or lvlp

[@imrozgill9711]

same thing happened with me but different sade of colour .. i guess u can blindly trust and assume that the paints will be perfect

[@theartworkshop]

I'm not sure why that is either. Every now and then you'll just get a bad bottle of paint- happens with every brand. Color is off or doesn't spray well. It is pretty rare with the big brands like golden, creatx, and liquitex though
