Hi Michael, bravo for your clear and instructive videos from Paris, France! A question: how would you add Dammar gum to your painting medium? Thank you, Adam
Should I oil out before varnishing to avoid any sinking in?
Another great video. I’ll varnish my first painting tonight 😊
Awesome! You are so generous. Best of luck with the varnishing. Please reach out if you have any questions. Happy painting!
ThanK you for all the effort you’ve put in this video. 😊
Thank you! I really appreciate your kindness. I am so glad you enjoyed the video. It was a lot of fun to make. Cheers!
😂Really Enjoyed the entire video!!! Good Job
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you so much! Cheers!
I also had The Lost Boys on VHS. Like this video, it is a masterpiece.
Awesome! I love that damn movie. The best soundtrack ever! Thank you so much for your kind words. I am humbled. I appreciate you watching and writing to me. Cheers!
Beautiful
I am so glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much. Cheers!
Too neat, Thank You! I believe your antics with characters like Skully, & David, would make this instructional that much more fun for children to get into.

I'm using the Liquin original by Winsor&Newton but I can't lighten the black for the underpainting, any advices?
Hello Pytel! Thanks for the question and thanks for watching. If you are using black for the stain drawing layer, you will want to use a little solvent and/or more Liquin to thin out the black to allow more of the white of the canvas to sneak through lightening the black. Or you can always add a little titanium or zinc white to lighten the black. Either way, I recommend just not to apply it too heavy so that it is easily painted over or mixed into the final rendering. I hope that helps. Cheers and happy painting!
@@michaeljohnnolan thanks
This helped so much you have no idea. Thank you❤
Excellent! I'm so glad it helped. Thank you for watching and for the support. Best of luck with your drawing. Cheers!
i have started painting again and sadly my dad is not around for me to ask . thank u .
I am overjoyed that I am able to help in anyway. Thanks for watching. Happy painting! Cheers!
Lucien and Jenny were my art school heroes. I saw one of Jenny’s shows in DC… it was breathtaking. A huge moment in my life. Great video!
So cool! Me too... I was obsessed with their work... still am. :) That exhibition sounds amazing! I am so jealous. Thanks for sharing and leaving a comment. I am so glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers!
O.K., I'm trying it. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent! Best of luck! Happy painting.
how do you make blue??? This video says that ivory black is just dark blue but how to make light blue??? Do I just add white??? Or would it make gray?
All good questions. Can I recommend to watch the full video that explains all that and more. Thanks for the comment. ruclips.net/video/JRMjdK14K_o/видео.htmlsi=yeXqutojhGfjZPrJ
“Art is the evolution of the true honesty”. Thank you thank you thank you. The best advices. Your art is amazing. Thank you so very much for the sharing.
You are so welcome! THANK YOU! I very much appreciate your feedback and kindness. I am so glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Cheers!
This is a treasure. Thank you for sharing sir. Subscirbed. More subs to come sir.
Awesome! Thank you for the super kind words and for the subscription. I am so glad you enjoyed the video. I appreciate your support. Cheers!
Would have enjoyed it more without the creepy commentary.
My name is Michael and I about shit with panic and fear when he said “oh hello Michael”.
You are an outstanding artist and teacher. I have been doing watercolors for a while but I would also like to expand to oils. But so far all I have done is looks at my materials LOL! After watching your videos, I am I powered and I am going to try it now! I mean what can it hurt. Thank you!
Thank you so much! You are very kind. I am so glad you found the video helpful. That is too cool! I hope you love working with oils. Be brave and always allow yourself the grace and patience to learn. The great news is that watercolor is by far the harder medium to use and it translates beautifully to oil paint. Just ask Sargent! :) I imagine you will pick it up fast. Happy painting!
Hello sir do Fat Over Lean matters to Alla Prima?
Hello Kenneth! Great question. “Fat over lean” allows the artist to construct a painting through multiple layers so that there will be less cracking over time and the painting will be more flexible. So, in regards to a layered painting that dries over time, the answer is no because alla prima typically is done in one wet-on-wet layer. Sadly, in part this is why so many impressionist's paintings are cracking so soon. However, there are many artists that create multiple layers of the alla prima method on top of one another. So if you are wanting to create multiple layers of alla prima on top of one another, then yes, you should have your foundation layers thinner than your final layers. Also, it is just a good foundational rule in oil painting to keep your initial painting drawing and block-in thinner than your final marks and rendering. This helps ensure that the artist is not fighting muddy colors and values by over mixing the final marks and rendering with the initial heavy setup. Basically, I try to keep all of my initial painting thinner until I know what I am doing so that I do not have to fight it later on. This makes painting a bit more effective and pleasurable. Pardon the longer answer. I hope this helps. Thanks for the comment / question. Happy painting!
@@michaeljohnnolan hello sir its ok thank you for your explanaton i understand,so it is possible to paint realistically on alla prima method on single layers❤
If the best time to use this palette is when the colors you are painting are all contained within this palette... isn't that just basic color matching skills?
Thanks for the comment. That is true. But I would argue that "basic color matching" is not so basic and needs to be refined through deliberate limitation, awareness, and practice. Getting to know individual colors and color relationships is so overwhelming for the beginner especially if they are not paying attention to naturalist color harmonies derived by light. The Zorn palette limits the colors so much that it forces the artist to intentionally create and more importantly to be intentionally aware of what they are really seeing. Again, through what they are not able to create. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
zorn pallete is the best demonstration on how we actually perceive color.... thing will look more red if you surround it with green, even if you dont use red.. that is pretty much the major thing i learn from painting landscape... everything is a shade of brown..
Well said! Absolutely! The Zorn palette is one of the best tools to force that awareness. Once you see it, you can never unsee it. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching. Cheers!
Omg I laughed so hard at this! I love it!!!
Wonderful!!!!! That made my day. I am so glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the super kind comment. Cheers!
I love this video. I've been painting with oil paints for some time but since I left school I needed to become more conscious about what to do with art waste. I too have recycled glass bottles for the used solvent as for disposal of collected paint waste I've learnt that I wasn't being eco-friendly or safe. I am excited to watch your other videoes. This video was both educational and brilliantly entertaining. Thank you!
Wonderful! I am so glad you enjoyed it. I was the same way since graduating art school myself. Healthy habits mean we can paint for many years to come. And I had some terrible safety habits during school... yikes! Anyway, I really appreciate your kindness. Thank you for watching. I am so happy it was helpful. Cheers and happy painting! :)
Beautiful <3 you are in my neck of the woods, and it just makes me appreciate everything you do even more. Love the AZ landscape!
Hello fellow Arizonan! That is too cool. Thanks for watching and for the kind comment. Arizona is just so diverse and beautiful. Some of the best painting in the world. Cheers!
I was just looking for a normal video with some tips on how to recycle the turpentine and found this masterpiece, thank you for this, your videos are awesome!
Awe... thank you. I appreciate your kindness. The video was a lot of fun to make. I am so glad you enjoyed it. :)
i learned some new things ! thank you 😃😃
I'm so glad! Thank for watching and leaving a very kind comment. Cheers!
Decent tips. I just clean my brushes in turpentine in a Silicoil jar. I don't wash them with soap at all. If they are stiff when I go to use them again, then I will soak them in turpentine for a few minutes, and they will loosen up and be ready to go . This works even if the brushes have sat for years without use.
Thanks for sharing! Appreciate you giving a view and comment. Cheers!
I can feel the sheer quality of this video through my bones!
Excellent! Thank you. I am so happy you enjoyed the video. Cheers!
My favorite reference video when painting, that being said….Please make more videos using the Zorn palette. 😅. Sincerely, an artist struggling with zorn palette 😅
Jen!!!!!! Your wish is my command. I have a few more lined up. I will be starting to crank out videos again in just another week or so. Thanks for your support! Always good to hear from you. <3
@@michaeljohnnolan (happy cry) 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 hope you are still teaching! May need a refresher from the best!
best tutorials out there, thank you, you need more recognition !
I really appreciate that! Thank you so much for your kindness. I am so glad you enjoy them. Cheers!
Thank you for sharing your gift.❤
Thank you so much! That was very kind of you. Thanks for watching. I am so glad you enjoyed the video. :)
The problem with Zorn is that Ivory black has none of the blueness that the actual pigment (made of charred Ivory) used to have. It is just carbon black in a different tube. All the colors have changed over the years. To make maters worse, while the Zorn palette has gained in popularity on RUclips, I once contacted a very experienced paint tech, at one of the top companies, and asked him which colors he recommended for the Zorn palette. He had never heard of it. So were aren't going to get much support from the paint companies. The first company that cracks the code, will probably gain a lot of support.
Great info. Thank you for sharing. You are so right... I should've made mention of the modern "Ivory" Black, but I thought the video was long enough. That is so wild about the paint tech not knowing about the Zorn palette. Looks like we are on our own. Thanks for watching and commenting. Appreciate you!
So wonderful to see Arizona Plein Air painting videos. I sat by that creek and at the Wine Bar and painted oo. I enjoy watching how you build up your painting and add texture. Love to see more paintings
So cool! That is the best spot to paint and drink. Haha. I am so glad you enjoyed the video. That was such a fun video to make. Thank you for watching and leaving such a cool comment. Cheers!
we use OIL TO REMOVE MAKEUP so it's a good thing. I use clove oil and safflower oil to COAT MY BRUSH after wiping and I don't "clean" the brushes until i'm done with the painting. These coated and hanging on a horizontal wrack can last weeks!
Thanks for sharing!! Good to know. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
i've learned that with clove oil and safflower oil i can coat my brush and KEEP THEM COVERED with oil after wiping paint off so they KEEP FINE on a wrack if i'm painting within 2 weeks and just keep some brushes for lights and some for darks and so i do NOT HAVE TO CLEAN UP EVERY DAY, which is a pain and abuses my brush.
Very cool! Thanks for the info and sharing. Sounds like a great system. Thanks again for commenting. Appreciate you! :)
@@michaeljohnnolan it's HELLA COOL to not have to clean up each time. I learned it from a fine artist here whose work is exemplary and I doubt great masters cleaned every day...so i tried it and surprisingly easy, even after a week of not painting. I don't know if FREEZING them like you do with oil based housepaints works but this is easy peasy and i only use a few brushes at a time anyway.
This is exactly what I do but I use walnut oil. So much easier
I'm a beginner and your video fills me with enthusiasm. Such high production value, great humour, and so much quality information without going into useless details. I'll check out your other videos. Thank you!
Wonderful! I am so glad you enjoyed the video and welcome. Thank you for the kind words and happy painting! Cheers!
can you answer should ı use turpentine for brush before hit to oil paint? thank you. ı mean to make it wet.
Yes you can! I start that why all the time. Thanks for watching and for your question. :)
@@michaeljohnnolan thank youu❤️🙌🏻
Great video! Thanks for the help! I have a question, do you use the solvent + linen oil in all steps of the paint, or just for cover the first layer of paint? Again, thank you!
I just found your channel. First - I freaking love you. Second - these videos are priceless! 😂 I will be using these frequently for reference. I'm new. The way you explain things is so clear. I appreciate how much time it takes to make a video this fun and informative. I wish you could do this full time and be paid what you deserve. You are a BRILLIANT teacher! Thank you for helping your fellow artists. ❤❤
