    Thanks for this video. I really like to see this kind of content interspersed among the painting videos. It’s always interesting to see artists’ gear and clever DIY solutions. I wanted to comment on the Titanium White you use - I know you have frequently mentioned that you use Winton brand, but I’m not sure if you’ve ever mentioned that it is a combination of titanium and zinc pigments (as is typical with student grade Titanium White.) I think it might be useful to know this when watching you paint. The titanium/zinc combo is actually preferred by many painters since it’s less strong than straight titanium, and I was just reading that Gamblin recommends either their Titanium Zinc White (Artists line) or their 1980 Titanium White (student line, which contains zinc) as the best all-around white. I thought I would mention this since a lot of beginning painters get frustrated by what straight TW does to their mixtures. (I know there is the whole school of thought that one should not use zinc since it gets brittle, but I have read it’s not a big issue in mixtures, plus you use an alkyd medium which increases flexibility of the paint film.)

    QUESTION - Do you ever clean out the old oil paint on the part of the panel where you squeeze the paint out? Or do you just keep a bunch of older drying paint underneath and squeeze fresh paint on top of it like in the video?

    This was a great video! Although I love the painting content, I also very much appreciate the vlog / chit chat / paint talk videos.
    Questions for the QA:
    1) are the videos on your Patreon different from the ones you post on RUclips?
    2) do you oil paint when you travel?
    3) can a person not in your area purchase your paintings?
    Thanks for the delightful content as always!

    I like your easel set-up for larger canvas. I don't like painting small and confined. I think I want to build my paint box with hinged edges. I can't stand blobs of dried paint on my palette like I see with most plein air painters. I like easy scrape clean slick surfaces. I use a completely flat cookie sheet in my studio, it has it's neutral gray color I like mixing on. A large light weight box for wet paintings will be tough to figure out.

  • @annalancaster9357
    @annalancaster9357 Год назад +1

    Great video, thanks you. Gamblin makes a permanent alizarin crimson. The properties seem, to me, to interact the way real AC does with my paint.
    Might be worth getting a tube and trying it out in the driveway as a guest color along with your real AC for a quick spit canvas study. That way you can compare any undesirable difference when the paint is wet and dry.
    I hat noticed a loss of rosiness on some family portraits I painted years ago. I used an indirect painting method for those paintings. So more linseed oil in the upper layers may have allowed more ultraviolet light to affect the pigment.
    I had already made the switch when I started painting live models Alla Prima.

    Thank you always for your tips and help! Love all your paintings. My question is, what do you recommend for me as a self taught (youtube) new painter? Currently I have been painting watercolor and acrylic for 7 months. I have learnt a lot from you and Ian Roberts. I want to continue learning. Recently I went to my local nature park and found an out of the way bench, and sat and did watercolor and my inktense pencils. I took lots of pictures of spots to paint around the nature park also, to bring the pictures home to adjust the compositions so I can acrylic paint them at home. Thank you for any other ideas to help me expand my learning.

    Thanks for going over your set up/equipment. I'm in the market for a new plein air easel because I'm taking my Strada to Maui to leave in our locked closet for when I paint on the island. I really like the one you currently are using for painting large desert scenes when I go out with my plein air group in Reno and am thinking that will replace my Strada. Then I'm going to have to find something to do smaller panels for when I don't feel like painting large. What a dilemma. Decisions, decisions.

    I wanted to make a Gloucester style easel as they are so versatile. I think it’s similar to the take-it-easel design Do you happen to know what the weight of it? By the way you could paint smaller panels - down to whatever size you wish - on your easel by attaching them to an another larger piece of board using screws to grip the painting panel. This is a ‘trick’ I picked up from Mark Boedges. This also works great if your support panel is the correct size for your wet panel carrier as it makes transporting wet paintings of various sizes possible. It’s also easy to make a wet panel carrier yourself for a few dollars from corrugated plastic.

    @paulclarke3086 2 года назад +2

    Thanks for the video. I think everyone personalises their gear and I like the way you make changes and adapt the stuff you have bought to suit how you paint. I've put hooks and screws into my gear (by the way mine is a French box easel) so when i reach for something the brush washer or piece of rag is there in the right place. Since i watched your video on making panels a few months ago, I've started making my own. Its cheaper and liberating as you can make them to you own size. I think over time you have refined certain elements of your approach to painting - we all do.
    the real benefit i get from your videos, is that i can pick up ideas and use them if they fit my style.
    Brilliant as ever - think you need a bigger car. Maybe a camper van? I'm worried your surf boards are going to be multi-coloured and the paintings get lost in a mush of greys. Get sponsored maybe. Cheers Paul

    Cool box palette. Did you treat the surface where the paint is on, to make it easier to scrap off? And if so, what did you do?
    I made my own (kinda inspired by yours) and dumped in some epoxy I had laying around. That works to a point but I not as easy to scrape as, say a , pane of glass. Curious what you did.

    Can you cover use of mediums and drying times. With your plein air process you appear to paint over right away. How long does it take to dry,say the 2x4 ft wave one,which I loved. Big has more impact indoors for sure

    re: making panel carriers. I've used old election signs (taken after election is over, of course) which are the same material as Raymar uses. I've made them with wood sides, but there are directions online on building them by just folding the material itself. Some of my Raymar carriers are 15 years old or more. Enjoying your videos!

    My professor told us not to use Winton because when he did, a client needed him to repair a painting (it was hanging over a fireplace) and the Winton colors changed so much, it was impossible to color match.
    I’ve always wondered why some artists leave dried paint on their pallet? Wouldn’t it cause your fresh paint to dry faster? Is there an advantage to doing that?

    • @chamberlainpaintings
      @chamberlainpaintings  Год назад

      I'm sure your professor meant well but he was obviously confused. First, if he couldn't match the colors that's because he has trouble mixing accurate colors. You should able to match a color regardless of what it is! Especially if you teach painting! If he couldn't match the color that's on him. Second, it's my understanding that Winsor & Newton uses the same pigments (check the codes on the tube) in both Winton and their artist grade paint. There shouldn't be any color change at all over time. Student grade paints often have a lower pigment load so they may not be as saturated or have the same tinting power but they're often the same pigments. Check the color code on the tube. The color change in your professor's painting was because it was hanging over a fireplace! It was most likely the heat and smoke that changed the color. As for the dried paint on the palette, I leave unused paint on the palette for the next painting. The paint often dries a bit at the edges but I waste a lot less paint.

    @MarkEGreen-rf4on 2 года назад

    Excellent set up for plein air painting. Interestingly, you don't include an umbrella in your kit. I find that in the summer a white one will keep the sun off the painting surface. I use a box or French easel which can get heavy, so the Andersen easel seems a good bet; it looks rather like the Hook easel which was invented by James Clarke Hook in the 19th C.
    Regarding Alizarin crimson, l use it, but l believe it can be fugitive, though the modern pigment is probably synthetic and not made from coal tar as in the 19th C.
    Best wishes and happy painting.
