Woooow, @Joel Pilcher! Nice comeback!!! I got a lot of mixed emotions and anxiety after you put brown paint and decided to smudge and I was like, "Oh no, here comes a disaster, he should'nave done that!". But then, the outcome was AMAAAAAZING!!!
Did you use anything to get the bubbles out of the varnish, or did they just go away? I'm working on a 36 x 48 acrylic that is the largest I have ever done. The varnish part has me a little uneasy.
I have been giving this process a try. The repeated steps definitely create depth and soften the blending at the edges of light / dark. It increases the sensitivity of the piece. If it is not your thing, ok. Personally, I am with Joel all the way :)
I don't understand how youtube works because you should be getting a ton of viewers and subscribers for your videos! Such fabulous work!!!
Absolutely stunning work! Simply amazing and captivating to watch. You are so brave with each step!
Thank you for sharing your gift.
I try this method in a oil painting of my nephew and it works like a charm

Once again...WOW! The work you do is so incredible!!!❤🎨
Thank you very much!
yikes! Got scared again with the oil glaze. Beautiful outcome. Fun, like a roller coaster ride though.
Another Beautiful piece of art Joel ! Love it.
Love it, you inspire!
This technique is amazing. Do you have a video explaining this process? Maybe the dos and dont's too
I like
What is the oil used. Would you mind explaining. Thank you. Looks amazing
Looks great. How did you prep the charcoal for glazes in oil? Thanks!
Amazing..did you use linseed oil with mineral spirit?
Amazing work. I love your whole process. What do you make the oil glaze with? Do you just mix linseed oil with the oils? Our some other medium?
Thank you! Oil paint thinned with mineral spirits for the glaze.
How much time do we need to wait before varnishing? By the way you did amazingly great job😊
I usually give it an hour or so. Probably less would be fine. Thanks!
Amazing as always.. Is that water your spraying??
Acetone (nail polish remover). Thanks!
How did you substract the glaze with the intricate detailed areas like the horn, fur...since the video was in timelapse mode, unable to understand it
I use a combination of Q-tips and pastel tools to remove the oil paint in the more detailed areas. Thanks!
Joel, what did you use to fix the charcoal and prepare for the oil glazing? Great work as always. Thanks for sharing!
I sprayed the charcoal with Krylon workable fixative before applying the oil glaze. Thanks!

They went away. I always do a test before the final art if any part of a new process is making me nervous. Thanks!
I have never in my life seen so many needless steps. Dude, just draw the damn thing.
