The way you encourage experimentation and intuition makes painting feel less intimidating and more enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your talent, Florent! ❤
Hi, Liquin: my large bottle has formed a thick cream crust top of fluid in bottle. Could I remove the Liquin under the crust and paint with it? It's so expensive! Please advise. Excellent videos Kathy xxx
Greetings. I've spent many months deciding on a teacher, and I've decided here with Florent is the best match for me. I've joined the discord, and will appreciate anything you can tell me about where to learn to start in order to start learning. I said that much better on discord. I will find you in your pages soon ish. Here's my first thank you for being you.
Florent, while I super appreciate this video as an aspiring future oil artist, do you have any recommendations for how to paint at home if you don't have a dedicated studio space? My biggest barrier to learning oil painting is ventilation. I've heard that oil paints can be kind of strong-smelling, and though there's low-scent thinners/etc, you should still use them in a place with moving clean air. My home is very small and I can't easily open the windows. My boyfriend and I both get migraines from strong chemical smells, though he is much more sensitive than me (I can't even use nail polish at home), so I would hate to wreck his day every time I want to paint! I picked up some gouache to compromise with myself, but my heart tells me I need to do oils so I am torn.
The paint itself doesn't really smell. It is oil like linseed oil and Pigments. You don't HAVE to use thinners. Some use one oil, or oil medium. You can clean brushes when finished with water and soap.
Go for small alla prima projects with just oil as a medium (I have several videos on this subject). You can also check out plein air easel to paint in a corner of your house and pack everything up at the end of the session.
I am also very sensitive to any solvents, even the odorless ones. I have had success with gamblin solvent free gel. Solvents are most commonly used for the underpainting or base layers so you could also use acrylic for this and then when this is dry continue with oil paints on top. I have also been experimenting with water-mixable oil paints and so far I have found these to work really well so there are plenty of options until you are able to have a dedicated studio space.

Very great video for beginners! Probably will you make a video about oil mixable with water that I buy because they are not smell in a little room?
Brilliant!
