Tuscan Village - Winsor & Newton Water Mixable Oils - Gary Garrett painting demo

Please click on "WATCH IN HIGH QUALITY". My 2nd 8x10 canvas panel experiment painted July 29, 2008 using Winsor & Newton Water Mixable Oil Colours. This studio test is for layering and manipulation of wet color using the water mixable gloss medium. I have always liked the "Volare" song performed by Dean Martin and thought it sounded appropriate for this internet view of a Tuscan village.

THANKS FOR WATCHING

Thanks, Steve. Yes they are slower to dry as they are loaded with saflower oil, so I have now move on to alkyd oils which have the luminence and depth of oils, but with fast drying linseed mixed 50/50 with walnut oil, can dry overnight and be ready to varnish in 2 weeks.... mixed with liquin and it can rival acrylics in drying time. I worked on a 22x28 alkyd oils/liquin this morning, went to work, came home... it was dry. Thanks for you comments and thanks for watching :-)

i really like this one!

unfortunately i only have acrylic, do u think this drawing would work out just as well with acrylic?

[GaryGarrett]

OH YES! acrylics may even work better as you can glaze the shadows and highlights in the same time as it took to do what I would normally do as an underpainting. I normally work in acrylics andwas trying to get back into oils, but so far haven't found a HUGH advantage to oils, the colors can be richer, but then if the acrylics are not overworkd, can have a similar luster. Thanks for watching

This is the 2nd work of yours that I've enjoyed watching in the last 24hours!!!

Tried acrylics 35 years ago - almost uncontrollable: dry far too quickly on the palette for starters - although they are effective for covering up paint splashes on brick-work!!! Your water soluble oils

seem to be easy to handle so I'm going to get some. Whether intended or not, you're also doing another great job marketing for W&N, eh! (tee hee!)

Thanks for sharingtthe pleasure!

[GaryGarrett]

Thanks... one of my purposes was to do experiments on video that EVERYONE can learn something from (myself included). I have several water mixable experiment here... just search "water mixable oils" and they should all come up. Thanks for watching!

Great painting! I've always wanted to go to Tuscany. I'll have to try water soluble oils sometime.

[GaryGarrett]

Thanks! My wife likes the water-mixable oils as they don't smell up the house with the "oil" smell.... I like them as they retain most of the oil richness in coloring, and don't shift the tones as acrylics can do. They take about two days to dry as they ARE REAL oils, but they do have richness beyond acrylics. Thanks for watching.

Very nice painting and what a beautiful place! Thanks so much for sharing!

[Aussiemarco]

I like using water mixable paints because they have no smell whatsoever, and I can paint inside my rented house without the paint and solvents leaving a nasty smell for the landlord to notice! I still prefer traditional oils when I paint outdoors though.

Gary. I loved this video. I would love to paint like that. Where do I start? I adore Tuscany. I hope there are other videos

[SteveHovland]

I really love watching this one. It inspired me to take a look at water-soluble oils, but one video said you have to wait 6-12 months to varnish. I don't have time for that. It was also a nice reminder of a recent train ride from Rome to Florence.

[SteveHovland]

great demo! almost enough to make me get some of those paints

[guitaristuk]

Great Gary. You made it look soooo easy. Next time could you demonstrate it a bit slower though, that would be very good. Even if it is just showing one small portion in slower mo - showing the underpainting, midtones & highlights and then speeeding on with the rest. I did enjoy it lots though. Thanks

Gary, this is a great demonstration, good choice of music too.
