WOW! Thank you for the lowdown on all these materials!! I've been so confused about which and how to use them! SO excited to try out these helpful suggestions! You're the best, Anna!
Anna, I wanted to mention, since you like working on Aluminum, that you can prime as mentioned, but you can also get annodized Alum. and then use any medium or paint on them. I grew up in a fam. biz. in sheet metal industry. The annodizing will make it higher in price, but you get to work on the actuall surface, which as mentioned, get that reflective effects. This is seperate from the dybond product, as it is not layered materials like them. thought id mention for you. The anodizing makes it able to work on, if I didnt make that clear. hahaha Stay Smilin'
Thank you so much for providing this in depth information about painting surfaces. As a new oil painter and art student this definitely made knowing how to properly prepare and select surfaces less overwhelming ❤
I was so excited about the aluminum! Then I went to a yard sale this am, and bought a piece of aluminum flashing bout 10" x 4 feet long!!! Then stopped at a thrift shop and got some sheets of hobby aluminum 13x18" for 3$ !!! I have some high density foam sheets so here come some testing!!! I already knew about the watercolor paper on aluminum - didn't know about for oils ... THANKS! I figured out making shaped panels for acrylics by covering blue builders foam with fabric and gesso - won some prizes with them - shapes like animals and birds and even text ... facebook.com/photo?fbid=10224460632413636&set=a.10208079143686656
Nancy you can mix in some powders that help with making it not as slick, just want to mention as experimenting is all the fun for me, hahaha. But gypsum plaster, or any stone dust, like marble or others. Im a texture nut, and add anything and everything, ha. hope it helps
Thank you SO much Anna! Any advice for paintings that were done early in my painting career on inexpensive cotton canvas, that have one awards (and I’m hoping they will last as long as possible)? Also, I recently did a painting on a surface that I’d done a pretty extensive drawing on, and someone suggested using transparent acrylic gesso (Liquitex) and the sinking of the oil paint has been a HUGE frustration. Hence the earlier question about oiling out that you were so kind to answer. There may not be a good solution for preserving the paintings done on inexpensive canvas, but I thought I would ask. Also, with this video, I know now how to proceed with more archival options. Blessings for sharing! 🙏💕
Hi, sorry to ask another question, as I know you must be extremely busy, but may I ask... can I use gac100 to seal wood panel and then use an oil or lead based primer on top? thankyou
Copper and aluminum are pretty soft in terms of a surface, if you drop it, it does not take much to bend a corner and totally ruin the panel... Acrylics will shrink over time, out of phase to that of oils. Not something you can reverse as with RSG.
thankyou! When u say that natural pigments are best for glueing your linen onto wood panel... may i ask .. what are these natural pigments, .. as im going to be preparing oil panels and need to know all the things i need to buy
Hi - here is the link to the Natural Pigments adhesive I use. www.naturalpigments.com/mounting-adhesive-32-fl-oz.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwqNqkBhDlARIsAFaxvwx9Kd_tQzIXYf0kkbjaLpIGYxqCkZ4mDw0GUmr9C8a1CaWCH195hf0aAv5mEALw_wcB
Yes, options, options, too many to choose from, and then you stand in front of some white infinity and don't know what you want to paint - called the big blanc - I remember art class as a 7 year old next to me this sweet little girl with a big peace of white paper in front of her and so afraid to ruin it and in the end, all she managed was a tiny little flower in the right corner - she gave the teacher a lot to talk about - "that she needs to express herself" - she doesn't paint any more she writes books.
'acrylic products - no animals are harmed in the making of them' u should take a look at how oil is refined. im gonna go out on a limb here and say that plenty of animals are harmed at some point during that process lol
You are the most learned , experienced and intelligent artist i have ever come across , iam so fortunate to find you, you are absolutely amazing
That is very kind of you, thank you! Some of these techniques I was lucky enough to learn from my college painting professor, Sam Knecht.
Cool editing flipping through all those surfaces! Great video! Can't wait to see the next two!
Why thank you! :-)

I’ve always wanted a peek behind the scenes, so this video is a treat and so helpful!
Thanks, Elizabeth! Glad you enjoyed. The next two videos are going to go a lot more in depth so stay tuned!

You're very welcome!
EXCELLENT! Thanks for this - can't wait for the other two!
I'm excited about these! Lots of info in them. Thanks for the comment!

Just ordered the MH primer!
@@Shuvah2Him you're gonna love it! And the aluminum too!
So much information and can't wait for the second part 😍 love your paintings 😍🙏🏻
GREAT video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Great information and very well presented
This is so helpful as I am still struggling to find the perfect balance between too slick and too absorbent. Thank you!

Just keep those paintings stored safely. They should still last as long as they are not being jostled around/constantly moved/re-stretched. :-)
Very Very nice your shared video Congratulations on your sharing
thank you for Sharing Thank you for the .sharing please Stay Connected ....💞.💞..
Hi, sorry to ask another question, as I know you must be extremely busy, but may I ask... can I use gac100 to seal wood panel and then use an oil or lead based primer on top? thankyou
Hi, absolutely you can!
does the non-absorbent primer by Harding feel similar to painting on PVA glue?
Yes, I’d say it’s pretty similar.
Copper and aluminum are pretty soft in terms of a surface, if you drop it, it does not take much to bend a corner and totally ruin the panel... Acrylics will shrink over time, out of phase to that of oils. Not something you can reverse as with RSG.
