@NissieTc My teacher told us to use linseed oil too. I think you just use it like you would use water. Like have it in a little container and dip your paintbrush in and then into the paint to thin it out and make painting a lot easier and your brush flow on your canvas more easily. Don't take my word for it though, I'm also a student lol.
nice video, they arn't water based oils though.. they are water miscible oils.. meaning they clean up with water however they are not water based at all..
a lot of people are being misled into thinking they are a water based paint...
@jhaley12 you always block in your darks first, that's the first thing they teach you when you paint direct.. take a class and maybe you will learn something... if you listen he also explains that he does it to get an idea of the where values will be placed..
hey that is some really good advice for painting with iol paints. im just starting with painting with iol paints on the canvas so this is really helpful thank you
im used to watercolor, oil paintings are hard!! gosh oil pqints are so atubborn compared to my usuap :L

i don't understand why you even bothered to put the first darks in because when you go back over them with black that covers them all.
