    Your period story was incredibly relatable; making a "diaper" out of toilet paper, waiting for the gush of blood, praying that you don't bleed on the chair, etc! Been there, done that!

    as someone with a B.A. in painting, your first oil painting is amazing!! to answer some of your questions, you do not need to add more gesso to the canvas if it is pre-gessoed. for paint thinners, i think what you're using is perfect. linseed oil is what I've always used and prefer, but i think you should just test out different thinners to find what works best for you! and for sealing, it isn't completely necessary to do so, but if you want to, you should wait 6 months. i love using a spray varnish for sealing, just in case there is any doubt about it not being completely dry. you could even do a mixture of a light coat of spray varnish and then go in with a thicker coating of a bottled varnish. again, a lot is just trial and error and finding what works for you! hope that helps!

      @AlanBrownArt 11 дней назад +6

      You can get a pre oil primed linen canvas, or put a thin layer of oil paint on the gessoed canvas, (painting that first layer will spread a bit easier). Gesso just soaks in that first layer of oil paint -- The Masters Brush Cleaner and Preserver Soap is good for cleaning brushes. Just first, wipe the paint off the brushes really well with paper towels or rags. -- And if you want to even the shine of a finished painting: use GamVar, not Damar. GamVar can be cleaned off easily. Watch a RUclips video on application. They say with GamVar you only have to wait 2 weeks but I'd wait at least a month. Good luck!

  • @rainbowcancoon7049
    @rainbowcancoon7049 11 дней назад +98

    just something to watch out for with oil painting is the rags you use while painting, if they are bundled up they can make their own heat through a chemical reaction from the solvents and spontaneously burst into flames, so to be safe its best to keep them i a fire proof container incase they catch fire so that it can stay contain in the box, also letting them dry/air out before butting them in there can help minimize the chance of something like that to happen. stay safe and your painting turned out so good, i love it

    Your painting is gorgeous!
    Long reply for your art q's:
    I have a BA in Art and Animation but of course you don't need a degree to knowledge share. I just spent a stupid amount of money on school LOL ❤ You will want to wait 6 months before varnishing. If you do it too soon it will crack or cause discoloration. When you varnish you will want to consider if you want the colors to change on your finished piece. If you want the darks to look more bold then choose a gloss. But gloss creates a lot of reflection if you're going to hang it on your wall. If you intend to hang it like a gallery piece a matte spray looks better because you can read it from further away. A spray varnish will dry faster and is easier. Just practice on a piece of cardboard first so your spray is even. If your painting isn't totally dry and you do a brush varnish, you could smudge your painting. Matte or shine, brush or spray, they're all personal preferences and you can do no wrong. The only thing that can go wrong is not waiting long enough for it to dry. 😊 Air and heat won't make it dry faster, so patience is key. Don't forget to put it someplace dog hairs won't go. (I have 3 dogs. From experience). Can't wait to see the varnished version! Go for brand Winsor and Newton for the varnish. They're elite in the fine art world because their products have been around for a long time.

    oil painter here! I use Gamvar varnish by Gamblin. It comes in gloss, satin, and matte finishes and can be applied once the thickest part of the painting is dry. I usually pour it into a dish and then use a varnish brush to apply a thin layer. Your painting is beautiful! Can't wait to see what you paint next!

    This painting is so gorg!! Wait a few months - I would say 2 - 3 is enough. I like Winsor & Newton Artists gloss varnish. Make sure you wipe any dust off the painting before you varnish. Then lay it flat and apply it with a varnish brush (you can buy this at the art store too!) Also you can always test out varnishing another little painting first so you're confident in it!

    Hi Claudia, Art Talk in a sec but first thank you for being so honest about your period! So many of us have been through this (apart maybe not on stage!) the teenage me could not imagine feeling safe and free to talk about it with anyone, so thank you! So onto painting... lovely work btw, I really like the composition and use of juxtaposing textures, pattern, abstraction and angles.
    Oil painting can be intimidating for a reason, it is very technical but you can also use your instincts a bit too. My mum (although we had few rules) insisted I wait to paint in oils till I had a proper teacher. Still I applaud you trying it out for yourself. Firstly You are right to question the canvas. One's in packets usually they are not very well prepared, and might need more layers of gesso (a chalky acrylic primer for painting). You can tint it and add a couple of thin washes or you can choose an oil based primer too (but I don't) A good art supply shop will make their own, which are much better quality and worth the investment and give you good advice too. Ok, in terms of painting: You have good instincts, doing light brown wash as the underpainting is great! I do the same. Here is the basic run down. Oil painting is usually about layers working from 'thin' to 'fat' eg thinner (solvent) to linseed oil. (solvents are an important topic -more on that in a sec) You can either mix your own, as I do, or buy them as premixed 'mediums' (usually numbered in order). Working 'thin to fat' is the most important rule in oil painting: think about it this way you need to work from thin to fat so that the layers dry properly before you add another, as adding linseed oil makes the paint take even longer to dry.
    Having said that there is another way of working called 'Alla prima ' which is when you work 'wet into wet' the way you did for most of your painting. This is a great way to work to keep things fresh and loose, but can be hard to gain control over details and can lead to 'muddiness' too. You were smart to use different brush sizes and to use the solvent to wipe off painting. It's great to use that way.
    The approach to oil painting has changed over the years. It's really important to be aware of the health and safety aspect. I always paint outdoors for this reason nowadays. The main risks are the toxins and heavy metals in some oil paint (earthy colours are generally safest) and in solvents. People used to wash their brushes and paint in turps (turpentine), these days there are safer options. For washing brushes just use olive oil soup solvents. For painting use gum based not mineral turps, or orderless turps. There may be other products I am not aware of that you can get over there. All solvents are bad for you, (can cause headaches etc. the heavy metals in the paints are more concerning, but you can just where gloves too) So only use in a well-ventilated room, wash your hands really well and don't eat or drink at the same time. I always use an apron and change of clothes, but I work large and messy!
    Sorry, it's an essay and my computer is lagging, I almost didn't reply as I knew I wouldn't be able to stop myself once I started. If you ever want more advice feel free to reach out to me (I taught I art for over ten years and have a masters of art etc etc) Side note: you can add a variety of other things too including gell etc. (which adds body and can be used for glazing etc) but that's another story.
    Good luck wth it all Claudia, it's so lovely to see you glowing and having fun. Xx

    my recommendations as a professional artist/painter, I like to gesso over the pre-gessoed canvas and then sand it down to get a nice smooth surface. You might also really enjoy working on wood panel (you have to gesso it though). You are definitely safe with the original base layer of gesso already applied to the store-bought canvas. I use a combination of odourless non-toxic mineral spirits and linseed oil to get various glazes and thinning capabilities, and for a good clean I use the "Old Masters" soap. Oil paint usually dries in about 2-4 weeks (especially smaller works). Some colours take much longer than others (ex. titanium white, cad yellow, etc.), but I would say 4 to 6 months is certainly overkill. Happy painting!
