[@mwebb-01]

Wel done Mark! As usual to perfection as well.. Im tempted to pick up my brushes again. its been over a year with out motivation to paint. :(

[@theartworkshop]

thanks so very much! I know it all too well. What I like to do is just go back to basics- graphite pencils and a nice sheet of drawing paper or hot pressed WC paper. Find a simple drawing that someone else did and copy it. Or better yet, a master copy of someone like Leonardo or Ingres and draw it out yourself. That usually gets me back into the swing of things and usually motivates me to pick up the paints again.

[@mwebb-01]

@theartworkshop ahh i see what you mean by back to basics. Very good idea. Thanks Mark

[@jc2200]

⁠@@theartworkshopI have to agree with you! Since I have not airbrushed in a while! I have also went back to the basics! Which I love to do as well.. Pencil Drawing!! Which water color paper is your preferred brand? Which is your pencil brand? Specifically for hyperrealism portrait. Thanks !!!

[@theartworkshop]

@@jc2200 drawing is just the best. I really like the tombow MONO pencils the most. I always find myself coming back to them over any other brand. I do love the staedtler ones a lot too. Recently I've been working with the mitsubishi Hi-uni which are very nice, but still so new to me.

[@jc2200]

@@theartworkshop oh wow nice ! I have been using the Faber Castell art pencils which I really like. Funny thing to mention is that I just purchased the Mitsubishi hi-uni set and the Faber-Castell Pitt Graphite Matte Pencils Set. They claim the shine does not show. What’s your favorite paper to draw on? Thanks

[@TonyMount-sq3hi]

Unbelievable piece of art mark I’ve learnt so much h from watching your videos great to be a member

[@theartworkshop]

Thanks so much Tony! Great to have you here. How's the terminator/chrome painting going for you?

[@TonyMount-sq3hi]

Not long shud be finished I think it’s ok will let you be the judge 😊

[@theartworkshop]

@@TonyMount-sq3hi we are often the harshest critics of our own work. Chrome is a lot of fun to paint. Looking forward to checking it out!

[@louisliguore7199]

Great video, incredible artwork, you are a magnificent teacher, thanks for sharing!

[@theartworkshop]

I really appreciate that, Louis. thanks so much! any news/update on your infinity?

[@louisliguore7199]

It has been 18 business days since I first emailed H&S about the problem with my new 2024 Infinity CRplus, 11 business days since my second email, and 2 business days since my last email, with no response from them. I haven't been able to find an email address for Warwick, to let him know what is going on at customer support. My Infinity works best at 32 psi. It will paint at 30 psi, but will not spray below that. I am currently trying to paint an entire portrait using only it.

[@theartworkshop]

@@louisliguore7199 Oh man, I'm really sorry about this Louis! Hopefully they get it sorted out soon. If it makes you feel any better, I'm going through the same thing with my Badger gold sotar 60th anniversary. I can't use it because it arrived with a damaged packing seal. They said they were sending me replacement parts over month ago, but I haven't received anything. I don't know what's going on, but it's frustrating since I've had this airbrush for a few months and can't use it.

[@louisliguore7199]

Sorry that you are having a problem with Badger support, these companies need to reevaluate how they handle customer support.

[@kevinchwin1181]

Do you sell any texture shields if not you should . Always looking forward to your next video absolutely the best on KZbin 👍👍👍

[@theartworkshop]

thanks so much! I don't sell shields, but who knows maybe someday. I'd rather focus my time on painting- that's what keeps me going. really appreciate your kind words.

[@PastaDNA]

Unreal! Duh!!!! Why didn't I think of that. I have those boards... How does the ClayBoard compare to the "super heavy gesso" surface? And have you tried Apersand's GessoBoard? I've been using the Super Heavy Gesso exclusively lately - it's very smooth and forgiving but a pain in the rear to prepare. Are the Ampersand Glay or Gesso surfaces compatible? Thx bud.

[@theartworkshop]

Thanks so much! The gesso setup can be quite a lot of work, but I love doing it. It's kind of relaxing for me to setup a few canvases. But I hear you on this and it's one of the reasons I made this video. Clayboard is fantastic and a very high quality surface to paint on. It's very smooth ( a bit too smooth for me) so paint easily removes off the surface. Their gesso board has too much texture for me so I don't use it for airbrush stuff. But their primed smooth "Artist's panel" is fantastic though. It's a gesso panel sanded very smooth. I like that one and their claybord the most!

[@johanfalzon9192]

Beautiful work thanks for your tips ,did you seal your paintings with some kind of spray ? Thanks and keep up the good work 👍.

[@theartworkshop]

thanks so much! I use a gloss varnish made by liquitex and spray it with an lvlp spray gun. I made a video about a year ago on how I varnish my paintings.

[@mifabrec]

Great video as usual! One question about the skin texture stencil, where can I get it? Thanks for posting the best instructional airbrush videos!

[@theartworkshop]

thanks! I actually made this one myself with a laser cutter. Just messing around with it to see if I can use it for future paintings

[@Cheddar-420]

I'm stuck between the new CR Plus 2024 and the GSI Creos 771 custom. Opinions would be appreciated. Is H&S's new .28 better than their old .2 like they say? Or should I get the last gen CRplus for 25% less upgrade it to the new setup in time? OR spend a bit more and get the 771... ARGH!!! Decisions Decisions :)

[@theartworkshop]

2 absolute monster airbrushes!! Best of the best imo. I can't decide either because throughout this entire painting I kept switching off between the two of them. I found the new .25 and the entire airbrush design of the 24 infinity to be a huge improvement over the previous generation. It's fantastic.

[@danmaher7947]

Mark, you mentioned the Claybord not being very white. I was wondering if you ever prepped a Claybord with Autoborne sealer white before you start painting?

[@theartworkshop]

Hey Dan yes, I have sealed a claybord before but it kind of defeats the purpose of working with it. It's a very unique surface to work on so I just use it as is. They make another awesome product called "artist panel" or something like that. It's a pure white surface prepared with gesso and much cheaper than their claybord. Very very smooth too. It's a good option if the claybord isn't your thing. Their other panel called "gessobord" has too much texture for me personally.

[@danmaher7947]

@ thanks. Yes I’ve used those before. I got them from hobby lobby. I like them. Take care.
