Thanks!!! This is so cool. I have more questions if you don't mind. What type of brushes do you mainly use (hog bristle sable)? And do you have any general tips on painting wet into wet? Every time I attempt this method I get very "muddy" colors. And I find it hard to make hard edges.

@neelylb no ask q's is fine as long a syou keep pressing the 'like' button ^^. I start with hog to quickly put a lot of paint in the right places. When I feel I need more detail I switch to ox hair or sable. But I don't use them much. For some tasks I also use a liner. For wet in wet it is best to use A quality paint. I use Old Holland. (muddy problem and edges) You need covering power for wet into wet. When the surface has a fine structure this facilitates removing brush marks.

Wonderful work! Love your technique and videos, so interesting... by the way, after rubbing the support with medium you wait for it to dry or,start painting on the wet medium? Thanks a lot.

@josvanr I have one more question, why are you so awesome?

[josvanr]

@neelylb thnx..... This one was painted wet into wet, but I could paint several days because I used a very slow medium (equal parts stand oil, venice turpentine and linseed oil)...

I'm gonna visit your exhibitions someday to see your paintings in real , and that's gonna be a great pleasure ... keep the great work up

Beautiful technique!!! I love watching your videos. I have a question though. Do you allow drying time while painting these, or are they all done alla prima?
