Then I watch this and in 20 minutes he has explained more, and done it well than all my classes combined. I’m glad I’ve found someone who can actually teach

When I was a kid and pre-teen, I painted with acrylics, oil paint, water color, I drew with charcoal, graphite, markers and everything in between, my dad was a fantastic painter (person not so much). Depression took all of that and more away from me throughout my teen years and well into adult life (turning 31 this Spring). I desperately want to find my artistic talents and skills again and this video was by far the best, most clear and easy to understand video on the subject that I have ever seen. Other videos I watched made me feel like I needed to know every painter that ever existed, gone to art school, had endless amounts of money for endless amounts of supplies, they made me feel like this would never happen for me, that it was too late. This video has done the opposite. I appreciate your simple approach to tools and learning, this now feels like an attainable dream.

I'm 27 and can relate to your story a lot!! just coming out of 4 years of heavy depression (my father was also not the best& it showed it my late teen years) I am now too finding out that I would love to find that artistic side of me.

Same here, I used to paint since I was 8 years old, and I think I was pretty good. especially charcoal. Life and other stuff kept me far away from art. But recently, mental health has brought me back to paint (new in oils) and has helped me a lot. It is such a way to calm down my mind and focus on small projects. Good luck with your journey !

I went through similar stuff, I want more people to share these things, because they happen, and life gets in the way, all my artist friends still do art, still like doing it, I drew since I was a kid, it was a hobby I shared the love of it with my sisters, I was really good as a teenager and I improved quickly, everyone complimented my art, but my depression took that away from me, I just didn’t feel passionate when I drew, and my perfectionism tainted everything I drew, I would not be satisfied with anything I used to be good at, now I’m 21 and every time I draw what I used to draw, it makes me feel bad and horrible, not good, so I thought to myself maybe I’m trying to pick up were I left off because I was “good at it” but it reminds me of bad times, maybe it’s time to try new things, new material, new styles, new ways to express myself and my art (I started journaling in 2021 and I LOVED IT, I didn’t know I could love something so much again!)

I also have paint thinner (turpentine & white spirit) and linseed in my workshop. I just ordered some Winsor & Newton Oils, brushes & medium. I really enjoyed this video and watched from start to finish.

This is a good basic primer. But I would add that paint thinner does not just thin the oil paint. It is a solvent that breaks the polymer bonds of the oil base. Using too much is not ideal. Think of a detergent or degreaser, except stronger. Using too much will make the paint film weaker and more prone to cracking or flaking. Maybe in 10 years, maybe 100. So, perhaps not important to "dabblers" who are doing it for pleasure. But to ensure that your hard work does not fall apart when the grandkids inherit it, there are some things to remember about using thinners and layering. -Underpainting or staining your canvas with a very thinned down wash of turps/oil paint is fine. You can get some great effect from that. And the weave of the canvas helps stabilize the pigment -Every layer after that first thin layer should be thicker than the last. OR alternately, use a stabilizing medium like linseed oil, the gel mentioned or alkyd medium. This process is known as: Fat over lean. -Fat over Lean means start out with less oil paint (paint with thinner) and each layer has more and more fat (oil) until you are using straight oil paint OR a medium that adds "fat" (which used to be literal oil/fat, but which now includes various chemical mediums) Your videos consistently have solid advice. That's why this goes in the studio basics playlist for my beginning painting students.

You need a "first 30-50" small portrait list. Broken down into sections of which skill each one works on and high lights, and what you should be looking to improve over the course of these 5-10, then these 5-10 etc. I think that would be a fairly simple series that people would fall inlove with. It could also help people spot what to look for when finding a reference picture.

Years ago, I started out painting thickly with no underpainting, and no thinners, and this was in Independent Study Art in High School (secondary school), and did fairly well on a 30"x40" Canvas that I stretched on frame myself. I am thinking of returning to what I started out doing, including even thicker with brush strokes.

re: palettes: the best palette is a sheet of perspex or clear acrylic. you can put any color sheet of paper underneath it so you can color check - like if you're working on a black or red background you can use black or red paper. you can clean it with a baby wipe at the end of a painting session, and if you get lazy and let the paint dry, you can just scrape it off with a palette knife or a razor. no need for a new pad of palette paper every few months.

Gamblin's solvent free gel is just linseed oil with silica gel, similar to Rublevs oleogel. So it's pure fat, which means it will actually increase drying time. While your straight paint may be physically thicker, technically paint straight from the tube is the leaner than paint plus solvent free gel. Paint straight from the tube is 2nd leanest after paint + solvent (& paint + adding dry pigment or siccative). For the purposes of alla prima for beginners, I'm sure this way of working is fine. I'm also aware that you probably get more in depth with fat over lean, slow dry over fast dry later on. That said, I'd recommend students premix their solvent free gel into their paint color piles at a 4 to 1 or 5 to 1 ratio to avoid getting too crazy with their fatty medium.
