Thankyou lovely 💕

💕💕💕

thankyou!!

yep the instructor asked the model to be inpired by venus de milo <3

💕💕💕 that would explain the lack of sense 😅

@@LizGridleyArtist yes they are often far from relevant 😂

No idea what you mean by this 👍 good job

😘 I'm pretty sure I spun it that many times in the studio 😅

Apologies I'll work on that in the next one

I did thankyou!! I hope you're well!!!

Thankyou for watching & commenting ☺️

Fantastic!! Have fun with them 💕

Me too ❤️

I did! This one, getting a weird painting done in one sitting was so so satisfying! I need to do more of these smaller goals I think 😅

Send me a dm on Instagram with more about what you're doing! Just need to work chatting/messaging around everything else and that should be fine 😊 thanks for asking so politely

woooooah thats so interesting! I wonder what pigment they used for it that sounds so weird, especially for a brand like Golden! Glad the black at least didn't give you trouble

No more than other oil paints, don't smell of nothing but they don't smell as much as acrylics

We ended up logging off and watching RUclips, your daily doodle diary is such a mammoth undertaking!! I wish the paper was thicker for you 😭 so tricky

@@LizGridleyArtist ah thank you for watching it! yep sometimes it can be hard to work with certain materials, noted for next year, if I do it I’ll be getting a fancy diary 😂

I get the metal chemically treated with a conversion coating to passify the oxidation process - it's the same technique they use to paint aluminium boats etc 👍

There's lots of great painting on metal info at Goldens just paint.org if you're interested ☺️

Thankyou!!! I am too!!!

Yeah was a fun one 😊

All kinds! I'm a fan of a smooth surface - this one is painted on a gesso and acrylic primed wood board 👍

😘

Thankyou!!! That was such a fun stream I'm itching to paint more 😅

Awesome I'm going to answer in a few seperate replies to get the different questions a bit of breathing room.

Firstly the oil mediums: these are only needed to be used when the colour straight from the tube isn't behaving as you would like (might be too thick, too slow drying, too thin etc) my main aim with mediums is to keep it simple. If I'm painting a piece with an average 2-5 layers I like to use a medium that dries fast and just helps the paint spread a little bit. Linseed oil on its own with no additives will do the job and I normally use a small shot glass to dip my brush in, wipe it on the edge of the glass then pickup paint - it's basically using enough to keep the brush moist, this gives me a good consistency of spreading the paint if from the tube its a bit thick. If I don't add any solvent to my Linseed oil I can use just that for the whole painting but I need to be sure each layer is quite dry before doing more - so this can take a week or two between layers. Liquin(fine detail) or Galkyd are both fast dry mediums I like that have similar consistency to Linseed oil but dry faster. If you are very concerned about yellowing (the amount of medium I use to keep the brush moist doesn't cause me yellowing concern) you could try Safflower oil instead which is much less yellowing. Yellowing happens over a very very long period of time (50 years +) and is normally dependant on how the painting is hung/stored too

Glazing medium in general has a much higher oil content than general painting mediums, which allows it to spread thin so well but also have a very slow drying time 👍 I use it specifically when I know the majority of the painting is complete but I want to do considerable colour 'tinting' of what's there and I don't mind the slow dry time - every tool for the right job 👍

The Gamblin website and RUclips channel (made by the company themselves) is pretty great with introductory info on every medium so definetly check that out but in summary: Neomegilp is thin gel medium, a good all rounder with much less yellowing than traditional mediums, it will feel like it has more body on the paintbrush than a liquid medium Cold wax will give a matte effect to your paint and thicken it, it's interesting but less is more in my experience - often it's easier to buff some wax over a finished piece with a lint free rag than paint 'with it' though so you have a more consistent finish and drying time Galkyd lite is a thin (less oil) version of normal Galkyd the Gamblin fast drying liquid paint medium. If you are starting a new piece it's often advantageous to do your first 'sketchy/block in' layer in a thinner medium so the paint flows very well and dries faster, then when working on detail or the guts of the painting switch to a medium with more oil content to give yourself more control and a longer dry time to get it right 👍

Completely agree with the safety of oil paints comments - the word toxins doesn't really suit the conversation - the majority of danger is either 'ingesting pigments with heavy metals such as cadmiums or cobalts' Note: they specifically are harmful when ingested, don't eat your paint! Or the evaporation fumes of solvents being harmful. Solvents can be used much more minimally these days, I only use them for cleaning at the end of my session rather than throughout 👍 maintain good ventilation and or breathing protection (I use a filtered face mask when doing a lot of cleaning or varnishing)

They should!!! Especially with how urgent their products drop always seem 😅 I got this one gifted to me for Christmas (love it when family knows the artists wants new weird art supplies) so sadly have no idea about the shipping side of things - if you want a sneak peek I watched a huge video by @stuffbysunshine reviewing a bunch of the more recent 'Blackest Black' stuff including 4.0 (but you might also want to wait to experience it yourself first!!)

Thankyou it was heaps of fun! Exactly what I needed at the end of today 😊 I hope you're well!!

<3 <3

Thankyou!! 💕💕

They've been so fun! Loving the momentum even though I can't stream again until Friday, such fun chats 💕

Oh thankyou that's so nice!

You can definetly try and find equivalents to your normal oil palette - probably the best place to start considering your diverse subjects. But I'd say palette helpful paints would be raw umber, yellow Ochre, ultramarine blue and pyrrole red (with titanium white) 👍 everyone is different though!

@@LizGridleyArtist Thanks

Thankyou! I tell you what though if he turned out awful I probably would have refilmed 😅 every artist has good and bad days when you take away helpful tools like sketching or guidelines, so remember that when watching online stuff 💕

@LizGridleyArtist I can well understand the feeling. If I were you and he turned out not up to scratch, I wouldn't show him to anyone.

It did!!! Got the background base down on a life painting and got some lovely conversations 💕 best part of Livestreams!

No worries ☺️

We worked out the bugs 😅 that was the best outcome for a mini test stream I could ask for! Feeling much more prepared to announce a proper one now

It was so fun! A few sounds issues (OBS had deleted my microphone from every layout) but a good time still ☺️

Yay!! Have fun with even two colours to get a feel to start, thankyou so much I hope you enjoy them 😊

Next painting, then make it pink again 😂💕

From memory it was liquin fine detail by Winsor and Newton

@@LizGridleyArtist thsnk you :)

Oh my gosh thankyou chuck 💕💕💕 make me blush!

Oh too kind thankyou!!!! Working indirect/in layers are definetly my fave when it comes to skin haha

Oil paint on primed paper is a cheap and easy way to do studies, I use either my own gesso to prepare the paper or I buy Colourfix smooth which is a pre-made version available in multiple colours. The gesso must cover the paper fully so no oil penetrates through to the paper fibres then it's fine Big artists like Cesar Santos even prepare art journals this way and put glassine paper over the pages to protect them once dry.

@@LizGridleyArtist okay thank you very much for your info 🤍it does make sense and I'll put it to practice for myself too😇

Oh thankyou so much Jennifer! I definetly think these are a great way to give oils a go, I've recommended in another comment just pick two colours and start (a darker colour and a lighter) that will let you play and have a feel for the paint without the pressure of colour mixing as much 💕) good luck!!

Honestly dive in with just two colours 💕 a dark and a light and have a go it's really so much less stress than watercolour (at least for me 😅 oils you can always wipe off or go back, watercolour once it's there it's there - I find that so stressful! 😆)

Also I just did a sequel to this video where I do a black and white underpainting! That might be helpful for seeing them paint so easily with just two tubes! 💕
