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

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!

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.

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!
