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!
Hello, just to complete (correct me if I'm wrong), the already prepared canvas often have only one layer of gesso, so sometimes the texture of the canvas is still very present, which can be annoying / less confortable to paint / not the look we want. It doesn't seem to be the case here, but if you want a smoother surface, you can still add one layer of gesso or two, even sanding it down lightly between layers. I like doing that as it's a lot smoother to paint, and the details are not deformed.
@@juliejane1080i saw some canvas with only one layer of gesso on but some are triple primed! I learned the harness way that only one layer of gesso is a no 😂
Billie giggling is the most adorable inclusion. I'm really, really happy you spoke so openly and freely about your period issue!!!! These stories are sonoften treated with shame and hidden, but sharing about them is how we normalize something half the population experiences! So refreshing to see!!!
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
you are so talented at everything you do, it’s genuinely insane. your eye for design/decor/fashion is amazing but I love when you show your own art 😭 the IS THIS IT piece, the falling angel, this one!!!! an artíste!!!
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.
I love choosing once color from within the painting to paint the edges of the canvas! I think it adds a super nice look. Like the green within your pool would look nice along the edges of the canvas.
The epitome of creativity I adore you videos and you trully influence me to be more active in terms of sports but also LIFE! Seeing you pursuing new hobbies, trying out different forms of entertainment is so inspiring really
Wow Claudia! 👏🏿🙏🏿🎨You are so talented! Oil painting is my favorite, although I’ve only painted 2 pieces with oil. The convenience of how quickly acrylics dry is why it’s my go-to.
You simply cannot be this talented at filmmaking. The impecable editing, wonderful shots, unmatched storytelling and the fact that you are still relatable!!! Love you girl
first of all i just wanna say that i really love your content. your videos give this comfort feeling. i love your energy and your videos. i love you and finneas. i just love your content and i really look up to you.. (its really funny to see finneas sign the cds that i literally pre-ordered like 30 minutes ago..what a timing)
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!
Loving your creativity in all your intro’s this year! And watching you paint this month has made me want to pick up a paintbrush. Thanks for sharing and inadvertently inspiring a desire in me to want to create again! 🌻
Thank you for sharing your period story. The amount of times that has happened to me, I’m sorry you went through that! But I’ve been there and it’s so nerve wrecking, you looked amazing!
so shes beautiful AND talented? her vlogs are always so entertaining. you and finneas are so amazing billies little giggles in the background are so cute ❤
Hey Claudia!! I have so much to say about this months vlog 1. intro was on point 100/10 2. Finneas, im also left handed! crazy to believe that one of my favorite people is also left hanged! 3. Im super excited for the album the mv was AMAZING especially with claudia! (also if u go on tour i reccomend coming to nc) 4. billie is the best camera-women! her baby voice is adorable 5. the oil painting turned out amazing!! totally share more paintings with us!
I remember when you moved from Illinois to California. Just a young hopeful girl. You have flourished into a talented, creative, vibrant soul and I thank you for showcasing your positivity and life in general for us to see. You are very inspirational Claudia! ❤
I swear the period story is every uterus owners worst nightmare but also something we all have experienced in some way and we figure it out! You will forever carry 10+ pads/tampons with you at all times 🤣 also cinematic excellence as always! Also Claudia please please consider making artwork that you want to sell I would love something you made to hang up in my home 🏡 much love 💕 🫶🏼
The whole period Story was so real which i loved and you absolutely nailed it pretenting nothing went wrong. Your vlog is lovely to watch and the painting is insanely beautiful 🪷💕
In my painting class in college, our prof. made it mandatory to print our inspo pic out on paper and I think this make it so much easier instead of looking at phones! You can tape it to your easel
18:43 that brush is perfect for when you seal that kind of painting, but if you ever try to paint a textured painting I would recommend using a spray type varnish (don't use brush!). and you HAVE to seal it, go do it!! your painting looks amazing to not be protected :")
As someone who learned how to use oil paint in high school I could’ve never done something as amazing as you did on your FIRST TRY. Amazing! A true artist.
I still remembered the first video that I saw from your channel when you was still in your parent's home making haul for beach outfits. Since then I always love your energy and how humble you always are. Glad that after all the success that your are building around your career you are still the same sparkle girl since then always bringing happiness throw the camera, I wish other people that are trying to build a career though RUclips can be also such a good example for young generation that see you as a role model ❤
I adore your oil painting so much!! It’s incredible for your first time aswell , also with the canvas I would recommend adding more gesso as it really makes a difference but it varies between canvases from my experience I’ve never watched your videos before but I love this so much and I will definitely be returning !!
your vlogs are therapeutic , the way you took us on the oil panting journey, I got emotional towards the end when it was finished , well done claudia your killing it ⭐️
CLAUDIA! You’re one of my favorite RUclipsrs! Your creativity is always so inspiring and you just seem like the best person to have as a friend! Your painting is BEAUTIFUL! You are so talented and down to earth and I SO wish we could be friends IRL!
The fact that you’re casually this skilled at painting speaks VOLUMES
i swear you have the BEST intros in the wholeee world
TRUE
AGREEED. Lol i just watched the intro and stoped to comment that
AGREED
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!
Benn there done that!
I’m so happy she talked about this! I’ve been called disgusting for telling my mum that I was using toilet paper as a temporary pad 😭😭
“For those of you who paint” girl you are the artist here, this is literally the prettiest thing I ever seen in a minute
Right I’ve been painting for 4 years and she did better than me

girl. okay. that painting. photorealism gold. go off
"i really enjoy painting, I never do it" is sooo real
buying new art supplies is one of the greatest joys in life 🥰

Omg this needs more likes so that she'll see it, that's scary
Your painting is amazing!!!!!
