Fishing Boats Awaiting High Tide - Oil Painting Demo - Gary Garrett - Winsor & Newton Water Mixable Oil Colours

Please click "WATCH IN HIGH QUALITY"

20x10 water mixable oil painting using Winsor & Newton Artisian colours. I used white, prussian blue and raw sienna in the background, with a "hot" color palette (mixed with a little of the prussian/sienna mix) for the boats and fishermen. Painted from an internet photo Aug 22-23, 2008 during the torrential downpour of tropical storm Fay... at those times when the power was on. Power went out during this video 3 times. I thought it would really be obvious during playback, but it is not.

The oil stays wet as opposed to acrylics, reflecting my lighting in the video more than the smaller 8x10s I was experimenting with earlier, and my ceiling mounted camera pod has a narrow camera view, so the 20x10 canvas was moved back and forth under the camera to keep the area I was working on in frame.... I hope this movement was not too annoying or confusing.

Taped using a Sony DCR TRV-25 camera set on 1 sec per 30 sec mode.

what medium do you use?

[GaryGarrett]

@xizi891108 I was using fast dry linseed oil with walnut oil 50/50, but have recently been using Gamblin's ALKYD LITE mixed 50/50 with walnut oil. I hope this helps

Winsor&Newton oil colour is my favorite one in painting instead of acrylic. What your idea if I use it with gesso as primary layer on my canvas? Is it take a long time drying after painting?

[GaryGarrett]

@SENTUF Watermixable oils are NOT compatible with acrylic products such as gesso. To be water mixable, they use safflower oils in their formulas. They are real oils and will mix with regular oil paints. The safflower oils slow drying times, so they take longer to dry. Alkyd (resin-based) oils dry (over night) as close to acrylics as oil paints can get. good luck, thanks for watching!

Lovely painting!

[stuckigs]

Love this painting ( all your paintings) I struggle at putting people in my paintings but I always put birds... colors are great I love vibrant paintings

[wyelenak]

Very well done. I would have left out the birds. A little of a distraction away from the focal point.
