  • really like this

  • @ocossa

    Thanks -I am glad you enjoyed. The new painting - Sunrise with Morningstar - is uploading right now. Enjoy, and thanks again!

  • Great tutorial and work.

  • Awesome! I'm basically just starting on trying to make realistic artwork and actually working on moving up from just little sketches in a notebook to using an easel and not just watercoloring. What type of paint did you use and what is the backboard made of?

  • @TheWisher182

    Thanks for the comment. The paints are oil-based and the board (for the Birch Leaf) is an Ampersand gessoboard. Enjoy!

  • lol i cant see shit

  • waiting for the sequence :)

  • Nice video... cool music... And I am lucky. I seem to get away with just a barrier cream with oils. I tried the gloves, but they made my hands perspire and softened my guitar calouses!

  • Thanks for the vid, really nice. I used to paint using a damar varnish medium, but then I got completly uneasy with the turps and skin contact. Watching your use of gloves makes me think I could do the same. By the way, what did you say you were using as medium, I did quite get it at the end...

  • Thanks for the comment; check out the "Phases of Venus" painting as well, though it's less on technique and more on science. For the medium on this layer I used a combination of 70% Odorless Mineral Spirits ("OMS") and 30% linseed oil. It varies from work to work, of course. I also use some poppy oil with whites as it's very clear, compared to the linseed's yellowish hue. FOr the gloves I just use cheap latex gloves from the pharmacy. Wash them after you put them on to remove any powder.

  • Jeff- Amazing! I'm really impressed with the color graduation of the blue sky. The way the light reflects off it is just awesome. I see in the video, a painting of what looks to be from inside a Greek palace against a distant background. I love that painting. That is something I want on my wall.

  • Hello Pauchen,

    Thanks for the great note - I really appreciate it. It's really a glazing a study, so the color is made up of multiple transparent layers over one another.

    The background painting, well, is not finished. Perhaps now that the easel's free I'll be able to finish that one! You can see more of it in the background of the very silly "Princess Purina" video on the New Lyncean channel.

    Thanks again - Jeff

  • awesome

  • Thanks- glad you liked it.

    There's a new one with more detail entitled "The Phases of Venus;" let me know what you like there as well.

    Thanks for watching!

    Jeff
