  • is there any way nudity videos can be removed from the list of youtube video preferences....like learning about oilpainting and getting it mixed with video of nude ladies wish makes it uncomfortable to learn well what is needed to be learnt??? please...

  • pallet knives are SO unnecesary....

  • That Black Cat has character!

  • Just in case anybody is confused, Linseed oil is not toxic. Neither is walnut oil, poppy oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, etc,. NONE of those oils are toxic. They aren't much different than the vegetable or olive oil you cook with. Some mediums are considered toxic because they contain petroleum distillates. It has nothing to do with the drying oil used.

  • Great info...I too love the walnut alkyd medium...great.

  • @xNnearNx

    I think your looking at a reflection, btw, peotic licence applies to art too.

  • Hey there's a error in 1 of the background paintings : on the one with a bear the iceberg part underwater should be much,much way much bigger since only 1/4 of the iceberg is over the water.
