Oil Painting Lesson snippet clippet with Michael Thompson

[AicentBlaichez]

So do you put oil on the canvas when you paint ? I've heard some artists do that. Do you put anything at all on the canvas before painting ?

[creativecolour]

@AicentBlaichez yes I put a base medium on it usually a thin ,very thin oil paint or linseed oil.

i have a few fanbrushes but when i dipp it in paint the bristles stick to each other i think it is because the bristles are syntetic ... what are your brstles made of?

[creativecolour]

@avinavin15 I use Natural hair brushes it is a stiff bristle, China Bristles

the liner I use is synthetic it is a 4050L princeton, and I use #3 and #6 princeton 5200 fan brushes.

i'm new to painting and have so far just painted a base layer, blue sky and green for the lower half, on here im going to paint trees and some barn type buildings in the back-mid ground, and a horse and a large tree in the forground. however i feel my sky blue is far too saturated, is there anyway to make it look much paler without painting a lighter shade over the whle thing?

[creativecolour]

if it is not dry just add white or a lighter shade of blue to the blue you have. there is no other way that I know of to make it paler with out painting some type of lighter color either mixed in with it or if it is dry over it like a glaze.

Regards, Michael

[MrHappyfood]

thank you. I will try soon!

love the painting. the sky gives it a little mysterious effet because u didnt really color the whole thing which makes like misty and stuff. the evergreen and the grass really stands out which u want cuz they are one of the main subjects. perfect technique for the greens. and the foreground shouldnt stand out which u did too

[zeeshac]

Excellent.. I love the painting.. It looks so easy in the video.. I have just started oil painting, and when I go to do it, it doesn't seem half as easy and doesn't look half as good.. but I guess am still learning..

Thanks a lot.. the video is excellent.
