    I saw someone soak their paint brushes in murphy's Oil soap and the paint softens up and comes off the paint brushes, but I love your finger paintings the most. So maybe scratch the murphy's soap idea. Keep up your creativeness!

    Very informative Josh. I learned about Chief Yellow Hair and his wrongful death while watching you paint this beautiful tribute to him. This painting is a fitting way to give him back some of the honor and dignity he deserves.
    Not bad for a guy who’s not even really an artist.

    Dear Joshua Alexander.
    👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic again and as always. I'm still not able to get my head around this (although I've already seen you doing it many times). How in the world is it possible to paint so incredibly well by using relatively thick human fingers!? The painting looks simply stunning. Congratulations 🎉 for being so talented. 2) Maybe using distilled water to thin your paint is better than normal water out of the tap?
    3) Maybe the great Bob Ross is able to help you posthumously. He and his viewers always had great fun when he beat the heck out of his brushes after cleaning/rinsing them. 😁 ;-) By the way: If I want to use a brush or a paint roller again the next day or some days later, I simply put them in water. For the same reason I put paint rollers and long or big brushes in freeze bags and add a little bit of water to keep the paint moist. Of course I close the bags as good as possible with a piece of wire and/or adhesive tape. This method has always worked fine with me. Maybe it could also work for you?
    4) I'm quite shocked that this relatively small canvas already costs almost 50 CAD. I wonder if you have ever considered to fabricate your own stretchers with canvas? You're a very experienced wood worker and a role of canvas/fabric shouldn't be too expensive. If you try, please use those special tiny nails (tacks?) to fix the canvas on the stretcher. Please don't use staples because otherwise Julian Baumgartner will have nightmares. 😁 ;-)
    As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
    Best regards luck and especially health to all of you (including all the animals).

    If you want a smoother surface, take gesso and spread it with a paintbrush. It will fill the weave. I love your no fear approach.

  • @lindyashford7744
    @lindyashford7744 11 месяцев назад +2

    The issue is not because of the canvas, it is due to an unstable paint film. The dilute spray with watery paint over the undiluted white acrylic has little medium to adhere it to the white. It’s not the hemp. You could adjust your watery spray so it adheres better by adding some acrylic medium to stabilise it. The textural differences are just what they are and unrelated to the paint film. Hope this helps.
    Nice painting, btw.

    • @JoshuaAlexander138
      @JoshuaAlexander138  11 месяцев назад

      Thankyou for the info! Though the texture is laregly due to the paint jnderneith letting go. It would be smooth if that didnt happen. I have many paintings where it so.

    • @lindyashford7744
      @lindyashford7744 11 месяцев назад +1

      @@JoshuaAlexander138 try gessoing first before your white base coat. Your acrylic base coat will be a bit thick. Alternatively thin the base coat before applying. The gesso those canvases come with is not that great.

    REALLY nice work. 🙂 I wonder if Leonardo Da Vinci did similar testing as he was painting the Mona Lisa. 🤔
    Last week I bought an optical illusion mat (on Amazon) to see if my dogs would be fooled enough to avoid stepping on it. They weren't. But, if the muse strikes, I'll bet you could have some fun doing an optical illusion painting. 🙂

    From knowing natural fibres, hemp is similar to linen/flax, both are long fibrous plants that absorb water quickly as the part used is the inside of the plant that is built to move the water from the roots to the leaves. In comparison, cotton is a short fibre in which the water is moved more slowly because it's the "fruit" of the cotton plant.

    I found that there are different types of gesso. The one you need for the acrylic paint is acid free or archival. The type that you probably got was for painting with oil.

    do you seal the painting after it is completed? I recently watched something when they were restoring a painting and were saying that over time water based paints flake off if not sealed. oops should have waited til the end to find out before asking the question.
