I am brand new to canvas painting. I just attempted my 2nd & 3rd yesterday. Every tip you gave was every mistake and problem I ran into. My paint dried out, my canvas was dry, my paint globbed, etc. These tips will be a game changer for me. You have no idea how much you helped. Thank you so much Sir!
Hi Clive. My dad, Joe in Florida, has been watching you from the beginning :-) We watch you together when I am down visiting. Very informative! Love the bits of humor. I am happy to see the ads and obvious more sponsorship-congrats for that! Lived in Newquay (Cornwall) for 6 years and loved it! Thanks for videos!
Extremely helpful! I've learned all this the hard way. The odd part is that no other artists are telling anyone these things. I need to learn how to link your channel on other comments. A big issue that I don't see that explains things very clearly is artist grade paints, canvas types and brushes.
Thank you for tips on looking after brushes..... you are great to listen to Clive, I don’t usually take much in first time round but I’ve listened, understood and and will be heeding all the advise ..... very interesting
today is the first time touching a paint brush to canvas other than one wine and art party. Thank you for the 5 tips! So great to know how to give myself a bit more time to get the paint to work well for me. Thank you!
I have forgotten about my brushes, before, and have had the handles fall off, or the paint, from the handles. However, I never thought about the bristles swelling. These are great tips.
I literally stumbled upon you doing a picture of swans in a sunset but didn't save the location and couldn't remember your name -- I'M SO HAPPY I FOUND AGAIN!
You have helped me so much! I am new at painting and was confused about brushes and all the tips you talked about. Thank you so much. I am going to go to your web site now.
Keep the hints coming love your sense of humour being a beginner I do rinse my brushes as I go in my case I use a lot of brushes trying to get the right one but I wash out paint then into clear water wipe lay flat & when finished painting wash in QV genial wash then clean rinse dry with a hand towel squeezing out water then as you say lay flat & dry over night so I may not be able to paint but at least I do right by my brushes , no your hints are appreciated Clive, all the best Roger from down under Australia 🇦🇺👍🏻🤗
Thank you so much for your advice. I’m trying to reuse canvases that have already been painted on. Do you have any advice for us recyclers? I’m just starting out and broke. Thank you again!
Hi Clive, thank you for sharing your tips and advice. l will look on your website and see what I will need as l am a beginner. l live in Wales too. 😊😊😊😊🐱
I would love a recipe for homemade soap, my great grandmother made soap,but that never got passed down, I've seen other recipes, but I TRUST what you do...thanks!
Great tips Clive. I repeat. Finally got the conditioning process. Use Windex the soap and let harden the rinse Wednesday to use voila. Thanks Clive, love your process and legends and your work but your support more 😁👏👏👏👍👍❤❤
Are the tips you have for painting on canvas that is on a frame the same for canvas bags? I paint bags for a food pantry and I’m interested in do a better job of it. Thank you.
Hi Clive, thank you for all the interesting facts you are giving. I have a question, should I use an isolation coat before adding varnish to my acrylic painting? If so can I make these myself too? I have tried going to your website to see the things you make but it doesn't show all you offer, it is just cups!!!!
Great tips, as usual. Windex has ammonia and alcohol. Is that the same as the product you have in Wales? Hand sanitizer and hair spray also have alcohol and work really well for getting paint out of clothes. If it's dried into your clothes, scrub some hand sanitizer in with an old toothbrush. I even got a small spot of paint off a shirt that had gone through the dryer.
u really deserve and have earned the right to sell your paintings too for profit for you and family! giving to charity is good, but still don't toss. sell them also, even if you do it through a different sourse..
Thanks very much for your vids. Very interesting ones about priming. Can you tell me, if I want to paint on heavy watercolour paper, board or cardboard, do I still have to prime? Also, do you deliver to Spain? Thanks.
Thank you for all your wonderful wisdom. Sadly, shipping from the UK is a bit pricey to the USA, so I wondered if you have any opinion on "The Masters" Brush Cleaner and Preserver?" And if I were using it, would I still want to use the Windex?
Some of the tones in my paintings have too much contrast. Will mixing white gesso and water make a nice transparent layer that will soften my paintings?
So , what I understand from the video is ...we need to use spray on the canvas frequently for let the colors be wet? Or is there any liquid to make the colors wet? And let them be wet for long?
I use nylon brushes for ink drawing/painting. I found hair brushes lasted 5 minutes, even when I took care of them (painting in acrylics). Years of mistakes and mucking around with little reward has scared me off acrylics. The water thing...people get previous about those stupid little tubes, which nobody should use, and trying to mix too many colours in the beginning. What i bought were the ready-mixed colours that are most useful. For beginners, why not forego mixing more than two colours or values? People need to lose their fear of it. Though some find water colours fiddly. I've never had any struggles with them, I find them almost too easy.
Hi Clive - I'm an oil artist & am trying to become proficient in acrylics (big learning curve!) Would you share your recipe for your personal glazing medium? I love the idea of using glazing medium + ? + ? + water. I have an idea of some of the ingredients you could add, but I have no idea of the % formula. Please let me know if your tried and true formula can be share with me/public

Your intro caught my eye when you were painting in front of the colorful houses. It reminds me of Kinvara Ireland, where my cousins live.

I think you can lay a few layers of gesso over it to cover the picture and gives you a “new” canvas.

Does using a stay wet palette contribute to the overuse of water in acrylic paint?
I love the way you treat your brushes as if they were kittens :)
No not really as it does not come in to direct contact with the paint
Are the tips you have for painting on canvas that is on a frame the same for canvas bags?
I paint bags for a food pantry and I’m interested in do a better job of it.
Thank you.
Could work not sure never paired on bags
Thank you!!!
I have heard that synthetic brushes are considered better for acrylic? I always said either those or bristle, personally!
Hi Clive, thank you for all the interesting facts you are giving. I have a question, should I use an isolation coat before adding varnish to my acrylic painting? If so can I make these myself too? I have tried going to your website to see the things you make but it doesn't show all you offer, it is just cups!!!!
Thank you for your helpful tips.. does you wife know about the kitchen towel??
No don't tell her
CLIVE5ART Your secret is safe with me, thank you for replying. Deb.
Thank you for great tips. So I’ve learned where some of my mistakes are being made. As I’m new to painting I needed to know......
Soo much information, thank you! Don’t tell my wife that I got her stretch wrap, she’ll get me. 😂 LOL. TOO CUTE!
Excellent information. Thank you.
Thank you
Thank you very helpful Clive :)
Thank you

Hand sanitizer and hair spray also have alcohol and work really well for getting paint out of clothes. If it's dried into your clothes, scrub some hand sanitizer in with an old toothbrush. I even got a small spot of paint off a shirt that had gone through the dryer.
I guess that’s why it works I believe the ingredients are the same
If you don't have a spray bottle is there another way to wet front ant back of canvas?
very good course
New fan!!! Subscribed

Thanks very much for your vids. Very interesting ones about priming. Can you tell me, if I want to paint on heavy watercolour paper, board or cardboard, do I still have to prime? Also, do you deliver to Spain? Thanks.
Yes to Spain...and no to paper it's already absorbent

Some of the tones in my paintings have too much contrast. Will mixing white gesso and water make a nice transparent layer that will soften my paintings?
Do i need to add water for every paint I brush with
Is there much difference between a $6 tube of acrylic & a $12 tube?
So , what I understand from the video is ...we need to use spray on the canvas frequently for let the colors be wet? Or is there any liquid to make the colors wet? And let them be wet for long?

@@CLIVE5ART totally understandable - if I had figured that one out, I would sell it myself :o)
Question: If I Gesso the front of the canvas so the paint doesn't get absorbed, why do I need to spray the back of the canvas with water?
Can i not use turpentine? Or thinner or alcohol?
Just stumbled on this page today. Unfortunately the web site doesn't seem to work any more. Anyone know why?
Clive could liquid soap be used as an alternative to a bar of soap?
