I am enjoying your videos and finding them tremendously helpful. When you use the term 'liquid' are you referring to straight linseed oil or linseed oil mixed with turpentine or just random medium in general? Can you discuss mediums in your demos if it is applicable to the artist? I find mediums very confusing and complicated. Can address how these great artists used mediums in their work?

Hi Sherry, Traditionally the two mediums used to thin paint are linseed oil and turpetine. They are used to creatte a finish. If you just use turps the painting will dry matt and the colours will fade. If you just use linseed oil the painting when dry will have a gloss finish and the quality of the colour is retained. Most painters, including myself prefer a sheen fonish with the same kind of sheen as skin orvegg shell.To have this finish you need to mix turps with the linseed oil with 3 parts oil and one part turps. I now use Zest-it istead of turps. As Zest- it is stronger than turps , to get the egg shell finish you need 5 parts of linseed oil with I part Zest. Any medium you use is used the same way as a watercolourist will use water. See my Cezanne video as a example of how important the medium is. i hope this is clear and I will talk about this more when doing the videos.

I think he uses a more runny paint. He does watercolor studies before his paintings if I understood correctly.

Yes I agree. If I did it again I would use a bit more linseed oil mixed with the paint Thanks

Could you do a tutorial on skin tones is there a simple way to differentiate different skin tones?

you are not the first person to say this but it maybe to do with the sound of the film being a bit sharp. No one has said this to mebwhen I am teaching
