 Okay, so I'm not being dramatic, but this art supply literally scares me because I watched the video once when people are like, getting self-combust and you have to remove these cloths in a certain manner or you can set fire to things. So I've always been like, hmm, I don't really want to try them, but I have to at some point, right? So I went into town and I grabbed myself some lovely, some lovely primary colors and a white oil color. These are so expensive, they're like £10 each, £11.50. There's this new art supply store in town and they pretty much have not too much stuff, but I wanted to try oil because that seems to be what they sell in my town for some reason. Everyone, I don't know why, it's kind of more prominent than other types of paints. I bought some turpentine because I know that you have to use that to sort of water it down instead of water. Not sure yet. Going to watch some tutorials, so don't come for me in the comments if that's not correct. I also bought some new brushes. These are watercolor brushes because I really like the Acroel. I've used one of these before and I really like them, so I just bought some new brushes because it was time I needed some new brushes because yeah, I don't really take care of things apparently. I'm very scattered, so I'm sorry. I also bought this for like obvious reasons. This is an eraser and here's an angry poo, so I mean, I also got this rectangular plastic palette. It was a pound, so which is like, I don't know, a dollar or two because I wanted to use a different palette for the oils. I mean, I don't know how if this is big enough. Probably not. I don't know what I'm doing yet. I just know that I wanted to try oils for a while because it's the only paint that I've never tried. So I had to, I have to. I also bought this the other day. I thought you guys would be interested in this. This is a giant bottle thing and I'm going to use it for watercolours basically because it's absolutely massive and I think this was about six euros in Spain, which is like, I don't know, five dollars. Pretty worth it, right? And it looks cool. So you know, there's a blast of it. Also bought this book today because the bookshop that you see me in this clip is brand new and yeah, I'm going to do something with this book on Saturday. So click the the bell notification. If you want to see what I do, don't worry, I'm not painting on this book. This brand new beautiful, beautiful cover, but I'm going to do something with it. So keep, keep an eye out. So let's get started. Actually, no, I'm going to watch some tutorials because I don't want to set fire to my home. See you in a minute. I don't know why. Autistic. I've done some research and I'm not too scared now. I think what I'm going to do is just use the oil colors by themselves and not use the turpentine because I think that's just for cleaning the brushes. But they also said in the video that you can use oil, oil, you can use water and soap to clean your brushes. And I don't have the stuff to make the drying time a bit quicker. So I'm just going to go for it and test it out really. I have a feeling that the consistency of these will be a little bit obviously oily, but I feel like I could probably use them in a similar fashion that I use gouache without water. So I'm going to test them out. If you guys know any tips, let me know. But yeah, I've got this old canvas I've had for like ages. I'm going to use that because obviously the drying times for oil is hours and hours and hours. So I don't want to use my sketchbook and not be able to shed it. So we're just going to super dive right into just using this canvas I have. And let's see how we how we go with it. Basically, right felt that canvas. OK, yeah, I mean, it is what it is. This canvas is kind of old and neglected. So OK, let's try it out. I'm just going to start by pouring out these primary colors I got. I wasn't sure what red, blue and yellow to get. So this one is just called Windsor Red. Please don't come for me in the comments if I'm doing it completely wrong. Because remember, I've never done this before. So please have some kindness. I probably need a much bigger palette because I was looking online and people are using big sheets of glass, which is very aesthetic and pleasing. But not really ideal when you have a lot of cats in the house because they will just jump up and probably spread that everywhere. I'm wondering how much to use paint wise, because like usually I use a lot of more paints than this. But I'm having a feeling that with oil paints, a little goes a long way. At least I'm hoping. I've also got some refined linseed oil that I had when I was trying to make the inks. I thought I needed this, but I didn't. So I could use a little bit of this as well, I suppose, if I need to. So I've got kind of a hard bristle brush as well, because I think that is supposed to be more useful for oil colors because of the way like the buttery consistency of it, which I've heard is the case. So yeah, let's dive into it. I think I'm going to prep my canvas a little bit here as well. I think I want to use a little bit of linseed oil. I honestly don't know what I'm doing. So I need also a cloth to wipe oil paints on. Apparently this can combust as well. So you've got to be really careful. I mean, I saw somebody say that they could combust, but I didn't really see anything in my research that said that this can combust by itself. I think if you use it with the turpentine or something, then it can be dangerous. But let's see. She's a lovely, disgusting pink cloth, which looks absolutely disgusting. Yeah, I don't know what to do. I think we're just going to go for it. I don't know if I'm doing it correctly. I think I need some medium to thin it out slightly. You're going to make me lose my mouth up in here, up in here. So far, not hating it. I need one of those like, creepy things. Creepy things. That's the technical term for a palette knife. In case you didn't know, of course, like, why would you? Only the most supreme artists know the technical term, scrapy knife. I really want like more pinkies. Oh, why have I done that? I'm not sure why I did that. Oh, the buttery goodness. Apparently oil paints are super forgiving, which is good for me because look what I just did. This was gouache. I would already have the canvas completely full. So that is a point of gouache. I'm going to change the settings of my light as well because it's super shiny. So far, not so scary. Not great, though, either. Not great, not feeling good. Not feeling great. But let's see. Let's see. Not hating it. There's a bit of a shine from the light, but I think there's some, like, really nice textures going on or lack thereof. I don't know. I quite like the way it's looking so far, even though it's just a blue area and me blocking out some certain things in the painting. I think it's looking kind of cool. Yeah, not hating it, which is something I always thought I would hate. I thought I would hate using oils. But yeah, kind of enjoying it, to be honest. Kind of liking, experimenting with a new medium. So I'm going to just delve into time lapse mode and I'll see you at the end for my thoughts. Call it there. I definitely had some issues trying to put the white down and layer that. I don't know if anybody has any tips for that, but when I was trying to layer down the clouds, I found it really difficult. I don't know if I have to wait for it to dry a little bit, but yeah, I don't know how long it takes to dry or anything. But I think that as a first attempt is pretty cool. The windows, I don't like so much. I wish I could go back in with a little bit more detail, but I find it quite difficult to add detail. So I don't know. I think for a first attempt at using oil colors, paints, it's a pretty good attempt. So let me know what you guys think. If you'd like to see me use oils more, I think I'm obviously going to try and use them a bit more because I've invested in them now. But let me know what you think. And yes, it wasn't so scary in the end, but still, I'm not sure if I prefer them to wash yet. I think I prefer wash still, but I have to give it a bit more of a chance, don't I? So, OK, thanks for watching, guys. Please like and subscribe or that jargon. And hopefully we'll see you next time. And also, thank you to my patrons, you guys are the bomb. Thank you. Bye. I just set up my new ring light and I just had to show you guys because somebody loves it. Make a purring, different settings. She really likes it. Ooh, too bright. Do you think mochi? Do you think? Good girl. All right, that's enough mochi camera. That's enough mochi time. Ooh.
