Following the standing-room-only "You Glow Girl" demo at the 2019 Plein Air Convention & Expo, Aimee recaps the principles of how to make stuff glow in oil paintings in this video originally broadcast live on May 4, 2019 as part of the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association Signature Member Mentorship series. (Phew.) TLDR; the glow happens *off* the object.
How To Take Decent Photos of Artwork Using Your Phone’s Camera and Genius Scan For Posting Online

Use your phone and the Genius Scan app to take photos of artwork, such as paintings. Genius Scan is a PDF scanner with a crop tool that will unskew images and allows you to place each corner manually. First, take a photo of the artwork, using a light source that best shows the color. Take it at an angle to avoid glare. We can unskew but we can’t remove glare. Second, open Genius Scan, hit the b...

Subsequent columns on the chart are filled in using different hue families. Strong color is more difficult, and grayed down colors are easier. You can proceed by filling in one row at a time, making sure the value does not change in a given row, or going one column at a time.

Aimee Erickson's Muslin Panels & Famous Golden Tone
Просмотров 12 тыс.8 лет назад
Showing how I make my favorite painting panels.
In the 60’s they used to shellac pocketbooks and magazine pictures on the wall . Is this how they did it ? Wanted to put fashion pics on wall with the shellac but I don’t recall how we did it in school .
For that I would use Mod Podge. Shellac isn’t adhesive.
@@aimeeericksonstudio1463 Thank you!👍🏻
Loved this! Some of the best explanations of color, and light that I've ever heard.
Oh! The background music is too loud ! Difficult to concentrate on what you say!
Hi Aimee, just recently I saw an interview you’ve done and I was very curious. I’m so happy that you have these videos in RUclips, I can’t wait to watch all of them 😊 you have a wonderful way of explaining color, light/ shadow etc. 🎉 thank you so much
Glad you like them!
Can we make this shellac thing at home? Or will gesso work?
Genius Scan is $49.99.
There’s a $49.99 version called Genius Scan Enterprise. That’s not the one I use. Look for the free one “Scanner App Genius Scan.” Or, iPhone has added perspective crop tools to its editing capabilities.
@@aimeeericksonstudio1463 Ok, thanks. I'll check it out.
Thanks, Aimee! I so enjoy your transparency!! Great job - I think that I am learning a lot!!
Very fascinating and creative!
I think this video is about to change me
Thank you Aimee for teaching. You are a such a gem.
Hi friend
Here we are
❤Thank you😊Full of so many gems
Hi Aimee - I was told that Titebond II (which we buy by the gallon for furniture building) is unsuitable for painting supports because it has a pH of 3 and would therefore not be considered archival. But the Lineco neutral pH adhesive is prohibitively expensive. Would your gesso protect or shield or encase the acidic glue and therefore make it archival? Thank you!
Much appreciated! Thank you for sharing your techniques. I LOVE backlighting and you paint it so well!
fabuloud demo and tips
What is the negative if I don't shellac my sketchbook pages before doing an oil sketch? (p.s. love your art and your RUclips posts. Hope you have time to add more posts)
oil paints are acidic so the paint will degrade the fibers over time; its the same principle with oil on canvas, if you want your works to last for a good amount of time there needs to be some kind of "sealant" to protect the base layer.
The oil binder will be absorbed into the paper, so then the paints will lack lustre, with your painting appearing dull/appearing matte. The oil will eventually make the paper deteriorate. Since you can obtain water based zero voc shellac, and it’s so inexpensive plus it dries within minutes..it’s worth sealing whatever drawing, watercolour or plain paper, prior to applying shellac. If your artwork turns out well.. you can cut it out of sketchbook and mount it on a panel, using an acrylic medium or a wheat or rice glue. Handy!
So important to understand. thanks AE. !!
Amy is a fantastic painter one of my favorites. I hope to see her final painting on her website. In the meantime I have a problem with the finish on the man I don’t understand it I can’t see his legs I can’t tell if he’s facing forward I need better glasses, thank you Amy also I have her book fantastic!
I loved this demo so much, I watched it again on my big screen. I learned a lot about how you achieved glow. Thank you. I’m looking at your painting club.
You are so welcome! The club met today and it was so uplifting and fun! Speaking for myself anyway :) but I think everyone was happy to be there
This video is from a few years ago! Please visit my website to see the current list of workshops!
The best demo I've ever seen! I learned so many things!
I am contemplating your paint club. I just love the way you talk about painting. It makes SO MUCH SENSE! I am addicted.
Какие прекрасные картины! Какая приятная женщина! Посылаю вам лучики света и добра!
Absolutely love this!! Wow Aimee rocks 🤩👏great tutorial. Thanks so much for this. Love the info on shadow areas etc
cannot wait to watch this whole thing!
I figured out your September question! This video is from a few years ago. There are workshop listings on my website!
@@aimeeericksonstudio1463I kinda thought that might be the case :( I can't make the ones currently planned so I will make the most of paint club. Thank you for this demo and I look forward to what's to come :)
Fantastic work!! I love it!👋👋
I really wanted to watch this but your music is so loud, I can't hear you narrate without turning it way up, making the music uncomfortably loud. 😢
I am turning on auto-generated captions! Hope that helps.
What kind of craft paper is this please? Thanks do much
I like your painting, too. I just bought a can of clear shellac on amazon with a gift card that almost paid everything. Better than rabbit skin glue.
Game changer! 😅🥳
Great, thanks, Aimee. Will def try this!
I have a question I bought paper for oil painting, but if I apply sellac to the paper, will it have a similar effect to applying Jetso?
Paper prepared with either Gesso or shellac is good for oil painting, but they have different qualities. Gesso is water based and makes a coating which adheres to the surface of the paper. Shellac soaks in and coats the paper fibers. The main thing I like about shellac is that it doesn’t warp the paper. It also preserves a papery texture, which is nice to paint on
@@aimeeericksonstudio1463 The reason I asked this question is... I purchased paper specifically for oil painting. This was because the paper absorbed too much paint. It absorbs too much, so I use a lot of medium oil and oil paint. Can I reduce the absorption if I use sellac? I've been stressed about this problem for a month.
@@starbucks1971 Ah. Yes. Shellac will solve this. Try one application, and see if you like it better. If it's still too absorbent, apply a second pass--this time it will sit on top rather than soaking in, and will be much less absorbent.
Downloading Genius Scan thanks to your video. Thank you!
please can you elaborate the purpose of adding indian yellow? You mentioned that it is not true neutral without it, why is that? Thank you.
In a triad palette, combining red and blue gives you the purple. A neutral color by definition does not have a strong hue identity. Adding the yellow pulls the hue away from purple and towards gray.
thanks so much. much appreciate it.@@aimeeericksonstudio1463
Very helpful Aimee thank you!
I know this was posted a year ago, but I just purchased your book from Amazon (based on other books I’ve bought). So I looked up your videos on YT. Your explanation has been the most helpful with value and chroma for this lay-artist’s greatest struggle with understanding. Thank you!
Your book is fantastic, by the way!
good to hear! thanks for the comment :)
Great explanation. this is first time I heard to build scales & look at interval to match values. Love it!
I am amazed at all information and techniques you know and share. Thank you so much..
Do you find that oil paints adhere well to shellac over time?
Hi Aimee, I have just watched your shellac video, never thought of it as a barrier base, used modern gesso or rabbit skin glue sizing. One question, I always thought that shellac when dry was quite brittle and wondered how the substrate may handle cracking over time, from handling before framing maybe. If it does not crack in the way I am thinking, it would be a great way to go. Cheers Paul , ps subbed btw
It soaks into the paper and stays flexible.
Does this app cost money? Thanks.
Thanks Aimee, I just bought some muslin online to prepare for a class with you, but it seems to have no texture whatsoever and I really like the looks of the tactile texture of yours in this video. Do you have a recommendation or brand. (I just bought on Amazon). Brand? Link? Thank you!
The reason a lot of people use linen, other than marketing, is that it is much stronger than cotton and therefore one can use a finer weave, for a finer finish. When mounting to a board, the strength is irrelevant, as the board will carry any loads. So muslin is perfect. On could argue that a smooth surface would be better still. That comes down to taste, and feel. The Mona Lisa was painted on wood, not even plywood, which is very stable. So one can certainly do good work on smooth surfaces.
Depending on your medium this _mostly_ true. If using oil paints it's best to size the fabric with some acid free glue. I'm not entirely sure if using wood glue is technically a neutral ph glue but after the sizing completed, as long as you apply a few coats of gesso you're good to go. If using acrylics you practically can just paint on the wood and be fine, us oil painters always got to work harder for our art. Then again our oil paintings tend to be admired much more! 😅 Personally I've always adhered my linen or canvas(want to try muslin soon) to a rigid support makes for a more responsive stroke plus it never will lose its tension. I've heard polyester makes a good surface as well as nylon if you can find these fabrics in a strong enough weight, worth giving them a try.
Hi, Aimee. I really like the organic look of these muslin panels, but am wondering if you need to wash the unbleached muslin first, or do you use it straight from the bolt?
I have never washed it.
I prefer the "before"
thank you so much this is so helpful
Any idea how archival shellac is … how long will it last?
Could you do this on a panel that already had a bad painting on it?
I don’t think so
Aimee can I use this for acrylic sketches?? Thanks for sharing Your paintings are just beautiful
Joann, I don't have enough experience to give you a definitive answer. However, I have tried it out and my one experiment worked really well. If you try it, let me know your results.
Hey I’ll let you know Aimee!! This is such a great idea thank you 🙏
Why can't I find the step 1 video?
Would you say that many of those high chromas tend to be middle values?🧐 Wow 😅I have a hard time reading value on those high intensity colors!! You add a little white and it helps sooo much. Thanks Aimee your paintings are a colorists dream….🙏🧑🏻🎨🙏
Hi Joann, yes. In general higher chroma exists in the middle values. 🤜🤛
