New Art Techniques- Glazing Oil Paint Over Markers and Color Pencil (Time Lapse Demo)

[9serenity99]

there are ink products that are archival. They make several pens and markers that willl last and be permanent and I am not talking about sharpies. Some chinese and japenese art has been painted in ink and has lasted for centuries. So to say that you should avoid markers like the plague is really a dramatic statement. I do think color pencils are a better tool than marks as well as pastels but thats because I prefer their blendability over markers harsh lines.

dude sounds like Tony Soprano!!

[dynomax101]

Why use markers? They're made with soluble dyes and are likely to ruin the work, sooner rather than later. At least, that has been my experience. Pencils? Personally, I'd go for pastels if I wanted to start off with a dry, full color medium. They're comparatively easy to use and should blend in with your oil paints quite well. And most pastels are archival. Same results, same basic prices, and the painting stands a good chance of being permanent.

@dynomax101 I hear you and you are correct about permanence! I never felt comfortable with pastels, the markers are more of a "fit".....I found a way around this though....When you have time, check out my video (from a year and a half later) Contest Prize- Oil Portrait of Orangemonkey92 HD Thanks for the comment! :)

Howdy, I was hoping you could answer my question. I'm trying to make a shined look with a colored pencil such as a light reflecting off of something. I still haven't found a way to do so and i figured asking someone would be the best route. By the way this is a great video and the old lady is hilarious !

Hi, I'm a shity drawer. Sorry for my language and do not remove this comment please. But you're relly good. I want to go to art classes for a couple of things. Getting better at writing(letters, numbers/ printing) And drawing definetly, also origami. Byee!

[kazanjianm]

I have used 100 lb paper before but now I use Borden and Riley #234 Bleedproof Paper- It is 108LB- thin enough to fit through a printer and thick enough not to be affected by oil (that is, as long as its primed by gesso or color pencil). Best of luck!

Have you run in to any problems using Prismacolor markers with oil paints? I used a black Prismacolor marker once to create a value drawing, then painted over it with oils. In areas where there was a lot of black from the Prismacolor marker, the colors ran really bad.

[kazanjianm]

Yikes!!!

Sorry! I didnt see that you left me a comment until now! I have had that problem. The solution is to use either clear (transparent) gesso or add a layer of color pencil as I did in this artwork. I prefer the pencil because it has the same mixing qualities as wet oil paint. Having that said, I think that the method w/ the color pencil is not as permanent as oil/gesso/canvas or panel...but the museums are filled up anyway! :) Thanks for commenting!

what dies gesso do?

or what is it rather..

[kazanjianm]

Gesso (Italian word for gypsum) was used to prime canvases before painting- Oil paint on canvas would otherwise have a similar effect as potato chips on a napkin (the oil soaks through and ruins the fabric). Traditional gesso is opaque and white but now it is available as a transparent liquid. In the case of the marker and paint (above), adding the transparent gesso would separate the markers surface chemical layer from mixing w/ a layer of paint.

[dynomax101]

@kazanjianm The museums are filled up???? What does that have to do with anything? I know you're joking, but having no concern for the permanence of your work will not help you make sales. Yes, I have run across customers who want the art they buy to last. And it's actually not that hard to use permanent materials. Markers? If you care about permanence, even short term, avoid them like the plague. Even the permanent ones are fugitive and will often bleed through whatever is put on top.

[NYCity99]

Very awesome piece of artwork, as always.

The before and after shot was perfect. The glazing does improve the tones greatly.

Great grocery store scene at the end also. I wouldn't want to run into this lady in an alley that's light or dark.

What type of paper (support) are you using for something like this? Clearly something that the oils do not bleed into.

Peace, Dan

[kazanjianm]

Hey Dan,

I am still going to add the spinning hat video to your playlist. Thank you for the kind words and for taking an interest in my work! I use 80 lb drawing paper (About 4x as thick as printer paper). These techniques would not work on 20lb paper. I have noticed that the wax from the pencils protects the paper like gesso (similarly...but not exactly the same way). I use minimal amounts of oil paint and it is mixed with a good amount of Liquin- which blends so well with the wax.

[NYCity99]

Thanks Mr K. I will take a look at 80 lb paper on my next trip to the art store. I'm curious to see what it's like.

Peace.

[boscobear33]

Can you use acrylic paint over the markers and pencils? Great job.

[kazanjianm]

The wax from the color pencils do not blend as well with the acrylic paint. I think that the long term bond would not be as strong (think of wax paper and cookies). Wax has been used in the past as part of a medium for oil paints so I knew that it would work with oils. I have noticed that acrylics do not glaze as well as oil paints. Let me know if it works for you (and I might try it as well). Great question and thank you for checking out the video and commenting!
