[spitharoo]

Fantastic. You make it look so easy when I know that it's not. Love the music by the way.

[artistdalehammond]

This is the best video editing/music arrangement I've seen yet on YouTube. Very well done. Thanks

[bytonynguyen]

wow

[astorchesrise]

those clouds look great! i have been trying a few things to make the clouds in my piece look nice but they end up looking cartoonlike at best. I definitely need to work n them a bit.

[milliegiftsmith]

Excelente la manera de desnudar una pintura desde su inicio, una muy amena melodía y un gran talento, muy buen video, aunado al muy buen cuadro.

hi i have been using water paint for sometimes and im trying the oil paint , i ve used the georgian oil paint but it seems that it will get dry at all it is been now 2 days but still wet , im i doing something wrong ?please help me .

[GaryGarrett]

Hi... this painting was acrylic... regular oil paints like "Georgian" can take 2 weeks to dry.. reds and white usually take longer. the Alkyd paints (Winsor & Newton "Griffin") can dry in a day or two. You can use "Liquin" as a medium to shorten the drying yime of standard oil paints. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

thanks for your help

Advice from anoher (Dutch) semi-professional artist;

You can use a siccative medium with oil paint to make it thinner and smoother and make it dry faster. However, l only use siccative for detail painting and adding accents. Especially in painting clouds you have to add structure and use a tampon-brush and palletknife to apply white generously and directly from the tube and that takes ages to dry. Advantage of oil paint; you can leave it for a day or so, before starting again.

[gentlemenjack420]

@rasshidd do you have a blow dryer? or you could try leaving the painting in front of a fan overnight. always works for me. i usually do a combination of both. :)

[RandomWeirdoXD]

omg no way...lol no but you are one good talented artist no fair =( hehe

I loved watching this picture develop. Must try acrylics and landscapes again (got rather put off trying by so many "failures" and muddy paint...)

[GaryGarrett]

Hello and thanks for the nice comment. I use styrofoam plates as palettes, if I feel my palette is getting muddy, I throw the plate out and reload a new plate with fresh color. Also, I'll paint different sections to allow time for the acrylic to dry a little, then layer colors over it... and if it gets TOO muddy, just let dry for an hour, then paint over all of it... LOVE fast drying times! You can also use mediums to apply transparent glazes over previous painted areas. Thanks for watching!

[GaryGarrett]

AFTER WATCHING YOU PAINT WITH THE WATERCOLOR PENCILS, i BOUGHT SOME TONIGHT... WILL HAVE TO SEE HOW THAT WORKS OUT FOR ME. FOR THOSE WHO ARE READING THIS, PYRAMIAOU HAS SOME EXCELLENT WATERCOLOR PENCIL TUTORIALS... CHECK THEM OUT BY CLICKING ON HER YOUTUBE NAME. THANKS FOR WATCHING.

[FanOfZipster]

Hey, thanks for the shout-out!!! although I wouldn't call my videos tutorials! I am a LEARNER myself and get so much help/inspiration/support from other YT artists... anyway thank you so much.

[GaryGarrett]

I learned quite a lot from your videos, and expect that many others out here un YT land may benefit from your knowledge also. Take care, keep painting!

[cuttysbaby]
