Tuscan Village - Winsor & Newton Water Mixable Oils - Gary Garrett painting demo

[deblovetrains]

Very nice painting and what a beautiful place! Thanks so much for sharing!

[Aussiemarco]

I like using water mixable paints because they have no smell whatsoever, and I can paint inside my rented house without the paint and solvents leaving a nasty smell for the landlord to notice! I still prefer traditional oils when I paint outdoors though.

Gary. I loved this video. I would love to paint like that. Where do I start? I adore Tuscany. I hope there are other videos

[GaryGarrett]

Thanks, Steve. Yes they are slower to dry as they are loaded with saflower oil, so I have now move on to alkyd oils which have the luminence and depth of oils, but with fast drying linseed mixed 50/50 with walnut oil, can dry overnight and be ready to varnish in 2 weeks.... mixed with liquin and it can rival acrylics in drying time. I worked on a 22x28 alkyd oils/liquin this morning, went to work, came home... it was dry. Thanks for you comments and thanks for watching :-)

[SteveHovland]

I really love watching this one. It inspired me to take a look at water-soluble oils, but one video said you have to wait 6-12 months to varnish. I don't have time for that. It was also a nice reminder of a recent train ride from Rome to Florence.

[SteveHovland]

great demo! almost enough to make me get some of those paints

[guitaristuk]

Great Gary. You made it look soooo easy. Next time could you demonstrate it a bit slower though, that would be very good. Even if it is just showing one small portion in slower mo - showing the underpainting, midtones & highlights and then speeeding on with the rest. I did enjoy it lots though. Thanks

[anniejlemay]

Gary, this is a great demonstration, good choice of music too.

[RMary]

i really like this one!

unfortunately i only have acrylic, do u think this drawing would work out just as well with acrylic?

[GaryGarrett]

OH YES! acrylics may even work better as you can glaze the shadows and highlights in the same time as it took to do what I would normally do as an underpainting. I normally work in acrylics andwas trying to get back into oils, but so far haven't found a HUGH advantage to oils, the colors can be richer, but then if the acrylics are not overworkd, can have a similar luster. Thanks for watching

This is the 2nd work of yours that I've enjoyed watching in the last 24hours!!!

Tried acrylics 35 years ago - almost uncontrollable: dry far too quickly on the palette for starters - although they are effective for covering up paint splashes on brick-work!!! Your water soluble oils

seem to be easy to handle so I'm going to get some. Whether intended or not, you're also doing another great job marketing for W&N, eh! (tee hee!)

Thanks for sharingtthe pleasure!

[GaryGarrett]

Thanks... one of my purposes was to do experiments on video that EVERYONE can learn something from (myself included). I have several water mixable experiment here... just search "water mixable oils" and they should all come up. Thanks for watching!

[daccasham84]

Fantastic. I like Dean Martin too.

[shelleyekg]

LOVE this painting and it has inspired me to try something new with my water sol oils! Thanks for sharing, your art is a pleasure for me!

[gulfcoastartworks]

Great painting! I've always wanted to go to Tuscany. I'll have to try water soluble oils sometime.

[GaryGarrett]

Thanks! My wife likes the water-mixable oils as they don't smell up the house with the "oil" smell.... I like them as they retain most of the oil richness in coloring, and don't shift the tones as acrylics can do. They take about two days to dry as they ARE REAL oils, but they do have richness beyond acrylics. Thanks for watching.

[allisonprior]

Do you have any step by step video's?

[djcchs2004]

Fantasic painting, I love it.

[MuralbyAldo]

exelent work MAESTRO

[Haoogu]

Bello,bravo!

Have you ever been in Toscana?

[GaryGarrett]

I would like to go there, but never have been. Found this pic on the internet and thought that it would be a great image for my experimenting with these paints. Thank you for your kind comment, and thanks for watching.

[Buckpenn]

Bellissimo!!! What a beautiful job you did in painting the Tuscan Village. Dean Martin's record goes real well with the scenery. To be honest with you, I don't know a whole lot of Italian.

[GaryGarrett]

Thank you... these new oil paints yield a lot of vivid color.

[liwana31]

Beautiful-music,painting and landscape.

[GaryGarrett]

Thanks... it was a great experiment

[liwana31]

Beautiful-music,painting and lanscape.

[liwana31]

Beautiful painting and landscape too.

[GaryGarrett]

Thanks for the nice words. My other videos are acrylics save the oval with oil glazes, but I do like these paints. I have a paintout with friends this Saturday, and am debating wether to use these paints or acrylics. Thanks for watching.

[berryconnell]

WOW! Your painting crew just picks up and heads for Tuscan?!

Dang! I've heard of 'starving artists' but rarely 'wealthy travelin' artists'!

Nice painting!

(So? Did you try Mama's Deli, down in the village?)

[GaryGarrett]

hI... HAD TO LAUGH AT THAT COMMENT.... "yeah, flew over but my arms got tied" ACTUALLY... that's a photo off the internet, and i took a LOT of liberties with it, just testing ideas, layers and color mixes with the water mixable oil paints. THANKS FOR WATCHING!

[retta2587]

every one you do is my fave! so this is my new fave!! and the music...oh yeah this italian girl loves it! volare, whoooooa...lol!

[GaryGarrett]

Thanks Retta! Always did like this song... thought it would go well with the painting. THANKS FOR WATCHING!

[rmpastel]

ahhh memories....you captured it perfectly!

[GaryGarrett]

Thanks... not hard to do with such a pretty place. Thanks for watching

[pyramiaou]

Very nice! Will have to see if I can find those type of paints, I have never used oils of any sort but water mixable might be my way in...

[GaryGarrett]

Thank you! They work a lot more acrylic, but they don't dry while working... take a few days to dry, so a little more planning on my part of exactly what color is going where is necessary. Thanks for watching!

[clubsoda921]

I likes the painting and the song

[GaryGarrett]

thanks it was fun & I like the song too!

[aaronyeokc]

Good job, Gary! One day i'll experiment wif oils too. :)

[GaryGarrett]

These paint very much like acrylics, but stay WET for 1-2 days, so you have more time to do scratch throughs and blendings. They are real oils though, so you have to adhere to some of the oil paint rules. Thanks for watching.
