Brilliant work! i love your technique. how many brushes and what size brushes do you use for a single painting this size?

[imshingo]

@tamtheartist Thank you. I was about 4 brushes, from size 2 to 12.

[XXLBritish]

Fantastic work. How do you stop the oil colours from turning into a grey when you're doing wet on wet?

[imshingo]

@XXLBritish Mix less.

Hi, what's the song? It's nice

[Evildemon612]

Thanks, this video really helped me my my GCSE coursework. Your pieces are amazing and am inspired by your work ^_^

[imshingo]

@Evildemon612 You are welcome, glad it is helpful.

[curlykale]

Brilliant! What did you mix with the oil paints, linseed oil and turps?

[imshingo]

@curlykale It was mixed with refined linseed oil only.

[curlykale]

@imshingo Thanks, what is the drying time? Once again I'd just like to say how impressed I am with your work, please post more paintings. I love the burt sienna against the flesh tones of the head. Thanks for the info!

[imshingo]

@curlykale A thin layer could be dry enough for more layers after 2-3 hours. But since I often painting wet on wet, it doesn't matter for me.

[calin4thewin]

Fantastic colors, I subscribed right away :)

[greatistartist45]

Was this made in oil paints?



[imshingo]

@greatistartist45 Yes, it was created with oil paints.

Im so sorry Lloyd but the worst thing someone can say to an artist is his work is good when it is not. In your case I hope you run out of Red paint very soon. Thks for the reply

[imshingo]

@Vanna6345 Thank you for your feedback. The viewers have the right to appreciate the artwork or not, as much as the artists have the right to paint and express how they feel and what they have observed from the surrounding atmospheres, as long as not personally attack on anyone. The reddish color wasn't red, it was burnt sienna.

[calin4thewin]

@Vanna6345 So do you paint yourself? Where are the uploads with your paintings?

Just curious :)

[imshingo]

@calin4thewin Yes, I do paint myself, I used to have the painting on my website, I have some of it on my facebook since someone took over my website.

[calin4thewin]

@imshingo Hi, oh that comment was directed at Vanna6345, the person who said it was a cartoon with too much red. They have no painting videos of their own that I could see, so yeah, I thought I'd ask :)

Will there be more uploads from future demos?

[imshingo]

@calin4thewin There will be more demos, when I have time to compose more.

[Vanna6345]

[imshingo]

@Vanna6345 Don't worry, none taking.

[Vanna6345]

@Vanna6345 Once again I have returned to atone for my awful comment. Obviously you have worked very hard to present your views in an artistic manor and I have run over your works with my clumsy swine. I shall do better..

[imshingo]

@Vanna6345 It is a different opinion, you have the right to say what is in your mind. We all make different comments, it is a way to learn to live, and live to learn. We all shall do better in the next time. :)

[imshingo]

@imshingo Cheers!

[MrWeus]

Love your work! What program would help me put a sequence of photos of my paintings on You Tube? I'm not asking for extra fancy quality. Is there any simple program to do this? Thanks for any help. 

[imshingo]

@MrWeus I was using imovie to compose the videos, hope it would help.

[eyepoo]

As someone raised all digital, pure analog skill like this blows my mind. Much respect!

[imshingo]

@eyepoo Thank you! Between digital, I still prefer old methods. 

[WASSIMLENS]

@WASSIMLENS Thank you, I believe anyone can do the same as I can, just matter of time and experiences.
