This was really helpful! Simple and to the point. I took notes and will post it in my studio as a reminder! 🎨

I really appreciate your shade. Having to justify your value as an artist beyond a viewers experience always feels like BS.

The paintings I bought are on a canvas that’s like half an inch thick, so this wouldn’t work

You mentioned that you could also just gesso the back of your painting? Can that be done to a finished acrylic painting? Would really appreciate your help with this question.. I have a finished commissioned piece that needs an opaque coating on the back and I don't want to damage it. Thank you

This was helpful David. Thank you!

I know it’s not good I wish I saw this video before. I love drawing but every time someone in social media just out does me which made me to strive and get better. I guess that’s why I got a lot better and social media did actually help with choosing an art style but I loved this video. ❤️‍🩹

Have you experienced the gel medium drying completely on the paper or board before affixing them together? I was adhering a large painting to a wood panel and by the time I got done putting the gel medium on, the first half of the application was dry to the touch. I have an even bigger painting that I want to adhere to a panel and now I'm nervous about that happening again. I would love any suggestions you might have for this.

thank you. I really needed this.

Every artist needs to hear this advice from David...and then take it to heart!!!

Thank You for sharing

Smooth yes, for me it didn’t have enough or frankly any tooth.

I have a passion for painting red rock scenes, but I'm having trouble with color blending. It would be really helpful if you could show me (and others) the colors you are using to achieve the look. I've tried all kinds of combinations of colors but I just can't seem to do it right. I paint now with acrylic paint -- I'm totally new to acrylic painting, as I've been doing pastel painting for 5 years now. Thank you for sharing this video with us all.

Thank you David for that information! The painting behind you is beautiful 🌻

thank you for the information. i have Arches watercolor paper on hand will give that a try. i have been making my own canvases, but this will be a real time saver

Congratulations from Brasil. It is so cool that i will teach these techniques to my students. Thanks a lot !

How long do you allow the thick textured gesso to dry be for painting over it?

Wow, great lesson, I had no idea about this.

Nice. Thanks as always David.

Thank you for your generosity I have heard of some of these classic compositions but without seeing examples. Your work is really great.

We're strange us humans, we think everything must have a practical purpose..........there is literally no 'use' for painting, none! When I'm painting however, often times I find myself wondering if my work is going to be any good for someone to hang up. I like videos like this to remind me not to think about the result but enjoy the process. Overthinking is my nemesis, thanks for this video 👌🏼👌🏼

Thank you

Very helpful. Thanks

I've just watched a video by one Dianne Mize (I may have got the name a bit wrong) which insists that Ultramarine is cooler than Prussian Blue; she takes yellow, ANY yellow, as being warm, using a version of the colour wheel which she's taking literally; but it isn't laid out in any logical way.... what effect this has on actual painting I'm not sure.... but when I suggest students take a look at RUclips for guidance, I do need to be a lot clearer about those to whom they should pay attention. Dianne is saying the exact opposite of what you're saying, and in my opinion - she's totally wrong. I wonder what effect these opinions have on actual paintings - do you think it would make a real difference, one way or the other?

Use or recycle large, used plastic jars or buckets stuffed w tightly rolled up newspaper, junk mail, rags, etc. coming out the top like a funnel. Pour the dirty water down the top of the roll which will capture both the dye colors and solids, and helps wick and evaporate the water. Replace crumbling paper (or whole container) as needed, throw discards into landfill trash as normal. This will keep the more toxic or deep staining pigments like the Thalos out of your sinks and water treatment plants.

The painting behind you is GORGEOUS. Thank you for all the tips!

Great video. Very helpful and informative. You provide the broader perspective right up to the professional grade filtering system.

Thank you sir.

I had been using it for art for about a month or two ish b4 i found out it was toxic! I even put it on my skin! I wish they put it on the bottle. I dont know what i should do.

Thank you !

Thanks very much for your video and pdf! ❤

Damn it, the fingers are the best

Is there a final coating that can be used for textured oil painting? To preserve the painting for years to come? Or would you just let it be

Hello question!! Can one use acrylic gesso for oil paint

David, a question for you. The painting behind you seems to have violet, but there is no yellow. Or maybe it’s blue, but there is no orange. Definitely has warm and cool though. Complementary colours are not mandatory then?

Cat litter works well.

Thank you. this video is very helpful. All the best.

Wow! I didn't know about this.

Again, thank yooou for sharing your knowledge.

Wow! Everything you say is so true. Thank you David.

I love that painting behind you. And yes, you are right.

Beautiful. ❤️

You seem to well acquainted with my left brain. lol. Does my head in. 🤣

Thank you for that information.

Thank you David. I always learn from you. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Your an amazing artist.

Wow! Nice

Thank you this it's awesome!

I like the way you explain😂. ❤ from iran

First wipe the extra paint off your brush. Then rinse the brush in a cup of water. Then put the dirty water into an empty milk/ pain container. Let the water evaporate. Dispose of the milk container.
