Ok I will tell it again this week.

You mentioned how the varnish makes colors pop, I noticed that especially on my poppy paintings and also things that are somewhat dark like the mouse or the row boat painting. You might want to add that if you are going to photograph it take the picture before varnishing with a glossy varnish because it makes reflects light more too and your pic may have shiny spots otherwise.

@gingercooklive

7 жыл бұрын

Good point I will mention that tonight. If you have already varnished the dark colors cause a glare in the photo graph, but if you go out into the bright sunlight you can often over come that.

Beautiful really!!! I would LOVE to see you do your version of Georgia O'Keeffe's floral paintings. Like the white rose or the white hibiscus. Thank you for this lesson, it is amazing :)

Ginger look at your palette!!!! really? how do you paint tulips and rosebuds in your palette ?😍

@gingercooklive

7 жыл бұрын

Well you would want either magenta or napthol crimson and white. Cad red could be used with white and if you mix it with magenta you get a really nice shade of pink. However you are never going to get a real bright pepto bismol pink. Sometimes because red is a primary color, you just have to buy it. Matisse has some #7 colors that are over $35 a tube for their high end reds. I show those in the Van Gogh poppy video. I have a tulip video on KZread also; here is the link. kzread.info/dash/bejne/iHajspesnLnApKg.html

You will not get the same result with a basic paint. I am using a professional acrylic paint.

good idea. Normally on our site we use the same colors over and over. Magenta is most always in our flower paintings, but the cad yellow "light" is a new color.

What about oil varnish, like liquid ?

@gingercooklive

Жыл бұрын

you can use a an oil and acrylic varnish. Solvar. You must have the Liquitex acrylic varnish on your painting and it dried for a week. If you put the oil finish varnish one that can be used also for acrylics, it need a solvent to clean your brush, and I do not like the effect of this and its not necessary. Oil painting need to be varnished after 6 months
