I LOVE your take on thumbnail sketches. I’m just getting started, and I’m a hundred, so it’s just a hobby, but you are REALLY speaking to ME, and you’re being heard and understood. Seeing how you sketch so many images of the simple object, makes it crystal clear and logical, but your humor speaks to me, too. Thank you so much for inspiring me. I’m American, but living in Frankfurt, Germany (for over twenty years), so I HUNGER for really good and entertaining tutorials in English. I’m grateful.
We are so happy to hear that!! You are amazing-- keep up the hard work :) - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Your are a hundred??? YOU ARE inspiring! Big hugs from DA to FFM ;-)
I wish there was more masterclass lessons, it is hard to find stuff out there that isn't geared towards beginners. I am intermediate and heading towards professional level, and don't need or want to hear other youtubers talk about basics. I love your videos, how you make mistakes and go through the process, and just your chit chat in general is so nice. Thanks
That means so much to us-- our content is definitely geared towards passionate artists at lots of different levels, which includes people who are more intermediate/advanced :) If you liked this video, you might also enjoy this one about gouache painting: ruclips.net/video/0I7DnrfskI0/видео.html - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
@@artprofhi Clara, I love this info as not much about water mixable oils online. Also wondering if my support is Square would I be best to thumbnail in a square not a rectangle?.. sounds a silly question but everything I read always say rectangles. Thanks for your great Chanel ❤
I love how you’re so “real”.
"I gave up color around 2004" 😂 I love the honesty and humor on this channel, it's so good for my artist mental health ❤️🎨👌
Haha! Even the pros struggle through the art process, it's so comforting to see - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
My tip. A glass kitchen chopping board makes a really a good pallette, it's more sturdy than glass photo frames as they are heat treated.
I myself use a gray tinted ikea plate. It‘s pretty flat an got a small rim. Pretty stabel and easy to clean. I must commit it‘s not handy for people who like to hold their pallette or like it to stand up. But I prefer it laying next to me
Such a good idea!! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
@@Hope13398 I looked at those but I was too dark for me. I was looking for a value 5 neutral. I now use a piece of glass with gray palette paper under it.
I use old glass plates out of dead microwave ovens . Free at your local recycling dump . Large sturdy and smooth glass surface .
I have never thought of creating the outline by rubbing out the paint. Seems like a fun approch. I am going to try this tomorrow.
Wow go for it! Good luck painting :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Being self taught I had never used thumb nails, my compositions were always really bad, then after a while, when I photographed still life or flowers for example, I would zoom and crop multiple images onto my pc similar to thumb nails, before I decided which image I wanted. I think I will take the time to use thumb nails in future though, a very useful tip. Even using a fast drying medium for these oils, I found they dried much slower. I tried painting without medium and just a bit of water and found it took days to dry , you can also do a wash by just adding water to the paint as well. Loved watching you paint too, love the style, rubbing out etc. Thank you.
Thumbnailing can really help make the rest of the creation process easier! If you have a composition you know you really like, you won't have to stress later on. We're so glad you're getting something out of these videos, thank you so much for watching! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
@@artprof Definitely , your videos are very helpful and I learn something every time I watch one, so thanks again.
I just found you and my misplaced box of water soluble oil paints & this is a GOOD DAY! I never tried oil due to fumes & I really want to learn. I can tell by your voice, personality and method that I’m about to enjoy all three parts of this series & really try these. Ty!
YESS!!! That is so exciting, we're so happy you're feeling inspired! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Prof, - If I knew art was this much fun in college, I would have changed my major to ART! You are a true gem and I hope your students know it. Supportive, fun, modest, very knowledgeable, and a great role model. Who could ask for more? I learned about freezer paper and shop towels, and the thumbnail exercise was phenomenal. I have NEVER seen them and I feel like I can do them. THAT is quite an achievement. lol Subscribed!
Thank you so much for your kind words! -Prof Lieu
I like number one, It fits into the nautical shell. I love that your showing us water oils
I learned soooo much! Thank you for much prof lieu for being so authentic and informative !
Wow, we're so glad you liked it! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Just sat down to paint with my water mixable oils and was looking for something to play in the background while working. So glad This showed up in my feed! Also happy to see her using Prussian blue! It’s my favorite color to paint with, but is quite tacky and drys really quickly. I can’t wait to see her impression of it!
Thanks for working alongside us! I can't find the video, but there's this whole conversation that Clara has with Alex about how every color has its personality and idiosyncracies and how she's currently "dating" Prussian blue. 😂 -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
This is so fun to watch!😊
Clara I love the punk hair 😁 Oh, awesome, I have these colors and have been a bit lost about how to use them, can't wait to watch all these videos, thank you SO MUCH for helping us get there 🤩🥰😙🤗
when i was learning portraits i used color and couldnt get it then i used one color like this and learned then i went back to color you are excellent
i expect to learn and i am thank you!
Your composition is sensitive and so full of apple spirit!
We're so happy you think so! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Thank you so so much for your amazing channel and all of your endless effort! I'm binge watching and learning so so much! Love your oil painting with the lobster! Just outstanding. Greatly appreciative!! THANK you!
You are so welcome! Thank YOU for tuning in with us :) We hope you like the vids! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
I thank you for sharing, very inspirational. I have been doing thumbnails, each in their own separate rectangles. But I wasn’t changing perspective. Brilliant! I appreciate it
You're so welcome! Thumbnails are a lovely way to go crazy with composition in every sense :) - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Water mixable oils are normal oil paints with a medium added to make them water mixable. You can make your normal oil paints into water mixable oils by simply using something like Scmincke Medium W.
Great tip! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
No, most are not. They are normal oilpaints where the oil has been modified on molecular level. Theres no additiv in it, except for a few brands.
Interesting, I will try it. I have a few bottles of that medium, got it on clearance. . Yesterday I bought four water mixable oil paints and I really like it a lot.
@@MattiasWirf now that chemically meaningless ‘molecular level’ sounds so much like marketing guff, like cosmetics ads- “don’t worry your pretty little arty head about all this complicated sciencey stuff!” They just used an emulsifier like you always do to mix oil and water.
There are actually two methods used (alone or together). One involves adding an emulsifier. The other does indeed involve a molecular change to the oil molecule making it more hydrophilic.
Your a really good teacher and get your point to where I can understand
That's perfect! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
this was great! im very happy with my first tut non tut i loved it all questions answerd
It's so much fun learning with you❤️. I was listning to you while I was painting, and it felt like I was being guided at every step😅😅... So much funnn...❤️❤️ And you were so right about paper towels leaving behind fibers.. that was one of the reason I switched to using rags.👍
This is so awesome, we're glad you enjoyed it!! Hopefully your painting went well too :D - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
It is going amazingly well😁. I'm not a fast painter actually, and with oil paints it gets a little difficult to keep up the pace. I'm definitely gonna use some liquin next time.👍
I’m painting with water mixable paints as I listen. Enjoying the company.
That's so awesome! Happy painting :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Wow, this is so helpful
I found this art supply on sale and I bought it without knowing how to use it so I'm very happy to find a vid about them
Oh that's awesome, we're glad this helped! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
This was fun, I always learn the most on this channel 👍 can't wait for the Cathy Spiranza video 🤩
We're happy you liked it! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
You should do more paint alongs and draw alongs in the future, you definitely get a lot more views on these types of videos. They are very entertaining
Yes! We are trying to program more! -Prof Lieu
To me this technique is like the kick you need to fall in love with your painting and start it. It's like you are looking at a blueprint of your painting..👍
So true!! It's a way to ease into it smoothly :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I have had instances where, while painting the piece it looks horrible. I'm working on a couple of pieces right now and I do just a little bit at a time. Today I added to both the pieces, then had other things to do. And, my goodness, when I got back home this evening and went in to look at them I was blown away. I still have more to do to them, but at this time they are both making me very happy.
That's incredible!!! One of the best feelings in the world is returning to a piece you've been working on and feeling that overwhelming satisfaction :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I just have to say that I love how you make us feel like we're right there with you in the ups and downs of creating. The struggle is real! It is so refreshing to know that it happens to everyone - even someone as amazing as you!!!! It really is so encouraging! Thank you for being so open and honest as you work through the creative process :) (ps: I don't think this type of paint is as slippery on canvas as opposed to a panel)
Interesting... I would have gone with #4 - rule of thirds weighs heavy with me. I love this tutorial, this is the first I've seen where someone explains thumbnails really well, thank you so much!
You are so welcome! We're glad you watched, thank YOU! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
In the clearance racks at Hobby Lobby, all the Windsor Newton water mixable oil was on closeout for 2.90 a tube.
Awesome, thank you for the heads up! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
*1 because i like to paint big, with the whole box. it suits my interest.
when i can bring emotion in then i know ive got it i did a bowl of cherries that was great

I'm planning on trying oil paints for the first time and have been reading about these water soluble paints. Some people say to be careful not to add too much water as it will affect their longevity.
Good to know! Thanks for watching :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Grelt thumbnails - and I like nr 1 best because I like close ups and The asymmetrical lines - and the abstraction of forms that come from close up
We're so glad you liked this video! It's so fun to mess around with abstraction in still life paintings :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I use walnut oil for a medium and brush clean up.
I love walnut oil!! Thanks for watching :) - Mia, Art Prof Staff
A "literal" rectangle as apposed to a conceptual rectangle.
feels like a sculpture'
thank you ill be back
Thank you so much for all of your lovely comments, and for watching!! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Unless your using it with turpentine or gamsol. No need for ventilation. Also the oil will kinda behave differently when you use water or a solvent like Safflower oil to dilute the oilpaint
Ventilation is good to have when using any kind of paint, except maybe gouache or watercolor. It might not be necessary, but in the long run, it's better for your health! Thank you so much for watching :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
GESSO BOARD THANK YOU
The Windsor and Newton website has a "safety information sheet" about the Artisan paints on their website that says (way down at the bottom of page 4) that you should "dispose of in a safe manner in accordance with local/national regulations" and to "avoid release to the environment." It sounds to me as if you shouldn't dump it in the sink.
I’m going to speak to W&N, because while those safety sheets are helpful, they are often not concrete about the precise way to practically do disposal. Thanks for the info! -Prof Lieu
im preping
just got water oil paints now can you paint on canvas or paper ?
i usually paint in acrylics cause i like fast
I totally relate to that! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I think thumbnail #2 has light side of the box and oranges. The other thumbnails are shadow box color or no box color.
please let me know if it takes a long drying time?
what are you working on? paper?
The Winsor and Newton does not contain any emulsifier, they have modified the oil - not added some new, weird ingredient. No, not even eggs! ;)
The only brand I can think off that does that is Holbein Duo, but maybe there is more? Lukas Berlin adds beeswax, but that is also in their traditional oils... for the consistency I think.
So far I have tried W&N Artisan, Cobra and Lukas. I think all of them work great so far, but I'm just getting back into oils after 20 years of acrylics and drawing. I would like to try Daniel Smith, since I like their watercolours, but I have not found their WMO available in my country yet.
You can add water, but it will change the colour slightly, better to use the Thinner from W&N Artisan who does not change the colour. If you want to make your own thinner, I have read from an uncertain source that it is made of half propylene glycol and half distilled water, but take that "fact" with a grain of salt since I only got it from a forum post.
Wow, this is all such great info!! Thank you so much for sharing-- good luck with your painting endeavors :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I find starting a painting exciting, but procrastinate at finishing. I also tonk off excess paint with printer paper as I like to paint in thin layers, I found painting in thin layers harder with these paints. I think they are probably better suited to alla prima painting.
Finishing a work of art can be sooo difficult, I experience that problem too. Sometimes if I set it aside for a while, picking it back up again isn't that hard! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
@@artprof Yes, that’s true .
I could not find out how to enter the live chat. I could see it and read it but not see where to write a comment. I like to use water mixable oil paint - and I like to use a bit of fast drying medium and sometimes a little bit of stand oil. I use rags or paper towels to clean the brush while painting - and occationally water - I like gessoed panels but I also like to use fine quality linen
Water mixable oils are nice to use and they behave like ordinary oil colors except you do not need to use gamsol or the like.
Hi Ms Clara! You give one of the best tutorials!❤ Just want to ask if these mediums are safer than oil mediums? I mean, in terms of inhalation and keeping them? I heard some rags with oil mediums burn on their own😅
What about using gamsol solvent free as a medium? Tbh, I have that solvent free here, but I'm scared of it's smell so I never opened it. I have sinusitis and rhinitis so I'm a bit hesitant.
Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤
For oil mediums, most of them aren't a problem (like linseed or stand oil) but I have found that Liquin (helps speed the drying) has a pretty strong odor so you need good ventilation for that.
Yes, you have to be careful with oily rags, I have a fire safe bin that I keep my rags in so that it's safe.
Gamsol is the lowest odor (imo) of the solvents you can use for oil, but, it does have an odor. Which is why having ventilation, like opening all your windows is important. If you really worried about all of this, water mixable oil paints is a good option for home studios as opposed to oil painting. -Prof Lieu
@Art Prof: Create & Critique Thank you so much, Prof Lieu! I am quite new to your channel, and I really appreciate the tutorials and I'm thrilled that you have responded 🥺❤
Guess I'd have to find water mixable oil paints in my area. I didn't go to art school so your videos are heaven sent!🫠💖
Ok at 7 mins in and already my thumbnails have improved with the tip of cropping and enlarging...ok got to get back to the video.....👍🏼
Awesome! I'm glad you're already seeing improvements! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
how quickly is it drying!!
4 it is a summed up picture
Ooh that's a good idea - Mia, Art Prof Staff
I think it would have been less slippery if you tried an Acrylic primed linen panel instead of gessoboard since it isn't as smooth.
I don't think it was the surface; I've worked on panels in the past with traditional oil paints and it was a pretty different feel. -Prof Lieu
for me i find somewhere in my paintings sculpture im not picky
o snap i’m early, this was posted a minute ago, lol!!!!!
Woah, winner! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Are these brushes from winsor and newton
Yes! They are Winsor & Newton's Artisan Brushes: amzn.to/3n69vgq (Amazon affiliate link) -Prof Lieu
Hmmmm..... I'm beginning to see the usefulness of thumbnail sketches. It not only trains your hand in creating shapes but also trains your eye to focus on lights and darks. Kind of clues you into those aspects as you paint, saving some trial and error time.
Oops! Commented first and then the exact point was made. I'll just be quiet now and absorb information ;)
For sure!! Thumbnails are really useful, it always saves me SO much time in the long run - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Oh, monochromatic. #1
I haven't painted in 30 yrs. I have no idea what you are doing and why your doing it.
