I like the idea of having the painted paper under the clear glass. Being able to stick the reference photo under the mixing surface is an awesome idea! Thanks! And it led me to the idea that I wouldn't be limited to just a neutral gray paper under the glass. I'm thinking that if I toned my canvas with, say a yellow ochre, I could stick a painted paper under the glass that would match that color. Could be helpful if I'm doing a drybrush scumbling technique where that undercolor may peek through. Thanks! You've inspired me!
And that's a thing that I never thought about, good idea! There was a time that I had to make two paintings on very bright blue canvases, it was very confusing and hard to mix colors, this might have helped!😂👍👍👍
Hello! Thank you for your fun videos. I have a question. Which black is best to use to make that gray for the palette? I have Mars Black, Ivory Black and Lamp Black. I have not found a regular Black color. I am using Windsor & Newton paint.
That's a good question! Every black pigment has it's own characteristics. In this case you could use either Mars or Ivory black. Mars black is rather neutral to slightly cool and Ivory black is rather neutral as well, but has a slightly warm bias. These differences in temperature don't matter that much in the end, most important thing is that a kind of middle gray palette is way better than white. By the way: Ivory has a low tinting strength and Mars has a high tinting strength. So with the Mars black, gradually add small amounts to the gesso, because it changes the white gesso rapidly. Good luck with creating the palette, it's sure to turn out great!
🤣🤣🤣 But... let's say you didn't tape it on purpose to scientifically examine scratchmarkpatterns in painted surfaces, only very intelligent people do these kind of things!!!
Again, an informative video. How come you get to have a studio with all that room, huh? And, you don't have family members bothering you....oh, sorry,...I meant, family members checking up on you because they miss you and cannot seem to get along without talking to you every few minutes! Do a video on setting some boundaries.....I dare You! Just (sorta) kidding Toon
Hahhaahahah, you got me there and besides the family thing I also have two cats at home, who would love to run through wet paint and climb curtains after that.
Hi Toon. I am new to acrylic painting, having only worked with watercolor previously, and I LOVE the way you present information to beginners, and you have such a great personality! Can you make a palette by framing a piece of gray-toned sketching paper in the frame, instead of painting on glass? Also, does it have to be a glass surface as opposed to a clear plastic surface?
You're the only art vlog that makes me laugh out loud. 🤣
That’s great!😂👍
I love your personality!
This is very useful.
Thank you for sending me here!

That's great! I guess you'll gain a lot of inspiration there! Have a great time👏👍👍

It was useful and funny😂
As you can see, art is a very serious matter!😜👍
I use a glass cutting board for my pallet, no sharp edges. 🎨
That’s a good one, I never thought of that!👏👍

Thank you for your input... greatly appreciated.... @@toon-nagtegaal
Taping the back also protects the painted side from scratches and chipping. How do I know this?
🤣🤣🤣 But... let's say you didn't tape it on purpose to scientifically examine scratchmarkpatterns in painted surfaces, only very intelligent people do these kind of things!!!
You're so funny!
The way he doesn't care about precise taping 😂
Sorry 😅
@@toon-nagtegaal haha not a problem..

If I had a family that looked like that portrait, I'd be hiding from them too. 😂 In a studio far, far away...
