This is exactly what I needed -- I'm moving from watercolor as it was a much more affordable and safer way to get into painting, but oil can be so overwhelming with all the materials! Looking forward to your other videos :)
I think that must’ve been a cupboard. Sometimes I put my paints in the freezer in case they are likely to dry on the palette but i don’t store anything in the fridge & I make sure to keep the studio above 10 degrees Celsius.
Yes, the varnish makes the work shiny but most importantly it is a separate, removable layer on your painting. So varnish is important to protect the painting for the long term so that after a long time the varnish layer that’s collected all the dirt can be removed and a new one reapplied.
Hello so apreciat your video. I am starting with oil. If i dont varnish at the end of a picture and i want to get back to the painting in a few weeks or so i could just paint over with oil paints ?
I was confused from what you said because I hear so many artists say that alizarin crimson has low lightfast and ultramarine blue has high laugh fast I feel bad for Bob Ross@@dorisroseart
Not a good idea to put any kind of color in the Sun for long periods of time. Not just because of how bright the light is but because of the ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light is a kind of high energy light. It can be useful to help lighten oil that have yellowed when drying especially if they dried in the dark. And it helps a lot! Good luck with your painting, and by the way that was a very good question to ask!
No it doesn’t if it’s well sealed. I just do this on all my art supplies these days to make it easier to keep track of my materials & remember when I got them etc.

I'm glad it helped! 🤗

You're welcome! 😊 thanks for watching !! 🩷🩷
When we paint solvent free what we must do with the brushes when we want to change colour?😊
You can clean the paint off using oil medium & a rag or paper towel.
Thank you very much for your answer and for sharing with us your precious experience
Thank you - that was marvelous. You explain everything so well.
It looks like you keep things in a fridge or it is just a cupboard?

Ok thanks - I thought I had seen wrong🙄😜😖
Should I still varnish when I’m finished my painting even if I added liquin to the oils to make it glossy? Thanks ❤😊

Isn't more lightfast=longer it'll last in the sun?
Hmm I think you’re right!! it’s whichever one is NOT good lol aka fades in light more!

Does Gesso get bad easily that you keep the date on the pot?

Thanks for sharing merry christmas
