Thanks for the video. I've learned to love the muddy colors because they make the clear color pop! One thing I need to do is turn my painting more often, that was eye opening 😂❤
As a starting "lean" oil painting medium I use roughly 2 parts Gamsol to 1 part Refined Linseed Oil. (Or you can also do 3 parts gamsol to 1 part linseed oil). As I layer my paintings over and over, and over the duration of time and when paintings are in the final stages where parts of the painting have thicker layers of paint, I modify my medium to become "fattier" where I am adding more refined linseed oil into my medium mixture. The proportions become more like 1:1 ratio. If I am wanting to paint over thicker, impasto areas of paint my medium becomes even fattier to be 1 part gamsol to 2 parts refined linseed oil. The nice thing about starting with a simple relatively "lean" recipe of either 2 parts gamsol to 1 part linseed oil or 3 parts gamsol to 1 part linseed oil is that you can easily modify it to become fattier over time, when you want to build your painting "fat over lean". In my courses I talk more about this, as well as other options for medium mixtures. I hope that helps!
Cameron is truly lovely to watch. Wonderfully expressive teacher.
Really enjoyed listening and learning about her process.
Loved her enthusiasm for her art thank you 😊
She's amazing. Such a good, clear communicator.
I'm so glad my communication came through! Thank you for sharing!

YES, exactly! We need duller, less saturated areas in order to accentuate the vibrancy of our other color notes in the painting, and vice versus!
Hi, could you tell us the ratio of linseed oil and Gamsol in that medium thank you in advance
