Gabi Martens Ditto. I haven’t invested in them yet, but I’m thinking if cleanup was easier I would use oils more. I’m a watercolor artist, so I’m used to easy peasy cleanup.
@@ChristinaTodd1970 Windsor and Newton Artisan are great. Only problem is if you use water instead of Artisan medium they look lighter value when an emulsion with water, and dry dark again (as from the tube). If you can cope with that, no problem, but using the media designed for them stops that problem. They look like real oils because they are when dry.
Would def. like to see a painting on water-miscible oils. With the "big" push towards a more environmentally friendly painting procedure, I feel water-miscible oils are the coming thing. I attended a seminar by Jeff Olson, who is the Art Director for Royal Talons. He was talking about their Cobra brand. He said Cobra has drawn up with their Rembrandt brand of oil paints for sales.
I think Water Mixable Oil Paints are the number one most underrated things in the art world today. I predict in the future they will be 99% of what people use to oil paint, and they will look back on the people of today who still use traditional oil paints and paint thinners as old fashioned and behind the times. The way they talk about the invention of collapsible metallic paint tubes and synthetic colors affecting artists around the time of the Impressionists and advancing forward the way artists worked, they will say the same thing about W.M.O.P.'s
Hi Chris! I would really like to see you do a Pet portrait. Im thinking, actually planning on doing my mother’s dog. She’s a Bichon. I would love to see your approach to dog hair. Thank you.
The landscapes you make are so beautiful 💙 Very lifelike . I paint more angry oceans and explosive volcanos than quiet peaceful paintings . I struggle with sea waves though 🌊..
I have quite a bit invested in regular oil paint (I tend to buy 200ml tubes Lukas 1862) so not changing anytime soon but I have been curious about the water mixable oil paints. It sounds so simple and convenient. I would love to see your take on them and you demonstrating them.
I'd like to see more on water soluble oils. I use them for less toxic atmosphere and easy clean up. I understood that you are not supposed to use water as a thinner or medium- only for cleaning. I use walnut oil as a medium.
Is there any danger of the old painting showing through eventually if you paint over an failed painting? I'm sure we ALL have a ton of canvases that we'd love to reuse and save a few bucks. Thanks for a great video!
Wash the surface with mild detergent solution, and, when dry, paint over with white primer or gesso, depending on if it's acrylic or oil. Then start again.
I used to use water soluble oils thinking they were 100% eco friendly... that's until I read the back of the tubes and they say you cannot dispose of them into the waterways, so essentially you would have to treat that water as you would normal paint thiner... at which point I decided might as well use gamsol, since you can re-use it and I had problems with the pigments settling in the water so I couldn't reuse it.
Paint Coach me neither! i think it depends on the pigment of the paint, I know for sure titanium white is one of those that can’t be disposed of into the waterways... which sucks cause it’s the most used color 😅 They have that dead fish symbol on the back of the tube.
Astrid Termaat that’s unfortunate 😔 I only used winsor and newton and grumbacher before and some of the pigments had the symbol. Once I noticed it I immediately stopped... I’m both ashamed I didn’t notice earlier but also happy that my biology degree came in handy at some point 😅
On the subject of less toxic oil painting work flow, tools, etc...I would be interested in alternatives for this but not with water. Like walnut oil, etc. or turpenoid naturals and things like this. Also interested in the water mixable oil painting, but do not really see the point if we still have to treat the water like it is turpentine after using. Might as well use regular oil paint and walnut oil, etc. But I’m learning here, so do not know the words that come out of my brain 🤣🤣
Chris , I believe you discussed water soluble oil paints before. I’m a watercolor artist living in a small studio apartment, and cannot have the smells of traditional oil paints where I live sleep and eat. I’m on the verge of purchasing WSO . It sounds like the answer to my dilemma. Ya think? Brushes the same as for oils? Tallahassee Florida
Sorry Chis did not finish: A former teacher was commissioned by Kobys wife to do a portrait. Paid $15,000. About ten years ago. Your painting is better.
Would you kindly repost the links to sites that offer reference photagraphy with no royalty or copyright restrictions? I didn't see the links on the Paint Talk episode you mentioned them in.
Of course you can! In the end a great painting depends on the artist and skill and not on the best materials. "Expensive"/ artist grade oil paints contain more quality pigments and depending on the brand none to a little fillers, while student grade often contain lots of fillers to make it more affordable. Artist grade paints will mostly have single pigments while some student grade paints will come as mixes to substitute the color of a more expensive pigment like cobalt or cadmium which will often result in colors becoming quickly muddy which can be quite frustrating! But as I said, I saw lots of artist producing fantastic paintings with student grade paints like winton. Quality materials can make to process easier and less frustrating but as I said in the beginning:in the end it depends on the skills and expertise of the artist. Hope this one helped!😊
I’d be really interested in seeing a demo on how you use water soluble oils

That Kobe piece is sick. Looks like a picture.... I’m trying to get to where you are and appreciate all the videos you do.

Thank you. Old but gold content.
Awesome dude thanks for the note on retouch varnish and dry times. I always want to varnish to early.
Glad to help

I would love to see a segment on wso especially what to do with the dirty water as it can't be dumped down the sink. What did you do?
Thanks for your advice, Chris. I think I’ll buy both books 😀

Yes do a vid on water soluble oils pls! Cheers. Ps end of the video was very funny
Will do! Thanks

Thanks Coach.
I’d love to see two identical (or similar) paintings done, one using water soluble oils and one using traditional... thanks!
NOTED: trick to getting looser brush strokes is to have caffeine induced anxiety lmao
Amazing you are so informational
Glad you think so!
A video about water soluble oil paint would be great!! I never used regular oil paint, started directly with Cobra Artist
Hi Astrid do you use only water to built the paint in layers or how do you use them? Im also new to cobra.
@@sokkoart hi Pelayo, I mostly use water to clean the brushes. I use the cobra mediums
@@astridtermaat3854 thanks for your reply.
Please lets hear more about water mixable oil paints!
I do in my video coming out tomorrow!
Is there any danger of the old painting showing through eventually if you paint over an failed painting? I'm sure we ALL have a ton of canvases that we'd love to reuse and save a few bucks.
Thanks for a great video!
I don't think so. Especially if you sand down the painting first
@@paintcoach thanks for the sanding tip! You may have just put Michaels out of business with all the old canvases I got!
Wash the surface with mild detergent solution, and, when dry, paint over with white primer or gesso, depending on if it's acrylic or oil. Then start again.
Do you have some tips for portrait paintings on smaller canvas?
I used to use water soluble oils thinking they were 100% eco friendly... that's until I read the back of the tubes and they say you cannot dispose of them into the waterways, so essentially you would have to treat that water as you would normal paint thiner... at which point I decided might as well use gamsol, since you can re-use it and I had problems with the pigments settling in the water so I couldn't reuse it.
I did not know that! Thanks!

Add a little Murphy's oil soap to your cleaning water. I only have to change out once a month.
I did not know that either! I checked my Cobra tubes and on the titanium white back there is a dead fish symbol 😳
Astrid Termaat that’s unfortunate 😔 I only used winsor and newton and grumbacher before and some of the pigments had the symbol. Once I noticed it I immediately stopped... I’m both ashamed I didn’t notice earlier but also happy that my biology degree came in handy at some point 😅

Yes everything is the same with WMO. You can even use linseed oil and any other mediums with them.
Please do tutorial on taking face measurements
A former teacher ( pastels) had a commission by Koby around 10 years ago she was paid
Sir, i have a finished oil painting and i would like to ask if i can use a water base varnish.
do you take pictures of your paintings before or after varnishing?
Sorry Chis did not finish:

Thanks!
Can you use a varnish after using artist retouch? Say in.... 6 mo or a year down the road?
I would think so but I am not 100% sure

do u have a video or a tutorial of that kobe oil painting ,im a airbrush artist switching over
Super Sic-o not of the Kobe but I have a few portrait tutorials on my Patreon. www.patreon.com/paintcoach
What are the main differences between cheaper oil paints vs expensive ones? Can you still achieve great results with student oils?
Of course you can! In the end a great painting depends on the artist and skill and not on the best materials. "Expensive"/ artist grade oil paints contain more quality pigments and depending on the brand none to a little fillers, while student grade often contain lots of fillers to make it more affordable.

But as I said, I saw lots of artist producing fantastic paintings with student grade paints like winton. Quality materials can make to process easier and less frustrating but as I said in the beginning:in the end it depends on the skills and expertise of the artist.
Hope this one helped!😊
Andrew Tischler has a great video on varnishing. Check it out.
Yeah I've seen it! He's the man
Im so early.
Could you not find a better subject?
Than what / whom?
