Wonderful. Yes, please do an ocean version of this process technique

Thanks for sharing this Kevin. I'm one of those people who always takes multiple days to complete one of your tutorials. Several of the issues you highlight are things I struggle with.

I cant call this a tutorial if he skips some of the parts :P

I've been following Kevin for years and have never once finished a painting in one session. I deliberately let it dry at certain points because I prefer the crisper colours you get that way. Not once have I "oiled out" before starting a new session. If you follow the fat over lean rule, you don't need to. Fat over lean means use more oil (the "fat") and less drying thinners (the thin") as you add each layer. That is, is that you only use thinners that are also driers, such as odourless mineral spirits in the first layer. Kevin's gel has an alkyd in it so it dries more quickly than if you thinned with just oil to make the paint slick.The gel is good if you are going to finish the painting in one go, with no other layers on top but I don't use it because I don't like alkyd in my lower levels. I'm a layer painter and I find it's hard to paint more layers over an alkyd as the paint can bead up (tiny beads of oil on the surface, with the next layer. It looks like the paint is sweating). I use a 70/30 mix of odourless mineral spirit/linseed oil instead, enough to make the surface slick enough to blend nicely and dry more quickly than thick straight oil paint, but stay slick long enough for me to play with. The next layers need to have way less drier and more oil with each layer so it dries more slowly. In effect the bottom layer has less oil, ie it's lean and the top layers have progressively more oil, ie they are "fatter". All oiling out does is add the oil to the canvas instead of the paint, so the subsequent layer is oilier (fatter). I find it harder to control though. Instead of oiling out you can use tiny amounts of linseed oil added to your paint, but using more oil with each layer. Some people use a mix of alkyd, such as liquin, and oil mixed together to thin upper layers to slow down the tacking up that happens quite quickly with alkyds, but again you risk the issue of beading up. Have I had a painting crack? Yes, twice, but I suspect it was from using very cheap, no brand paint from a dollar store that caused it as it was slick, slimey paint which means more oil, but most likely cheap industrial grade linseed oil that has added driers in it. Lesson learned.

One thing i always do before starting on a dry painting is oil in rubbing in ny medium which feeds the dry paint and gives a wet look

Yes a ocean lesson would be good thank you for sharing I appreciate all your ideas and lessons thank you again kathy

I love You and your art works so much Dear Kevin.🥰😍🤗

Beautiful Kevin! Thank you.

Love your artwork, your style of painting is something i have been looking for.

Really nice painting Kevin. I love your attention to detail which makes the painting come to life.

Thanks for sharing, Kevin! Your tutorials always take me multiple days to complete, but they're worth it. Many of the issues you address are ones I personally struggle with.

Yes, yes, please I would be very interested in more videos like this. This brings us people that are under circumstance stances from engaging with your lessons. This brings us to the artist more than learning. I appreciate this a lot thank you ❤️

Please tell me this is going to be a full length lesson for sale! Absolutely love this painting! Other vids with this process would be appreciated as well. Seascape fixes would be especially awesome!

Kevin. You are an artist virtuoso ❤

Beautiful painting Kevin. I've never tried oil painting but love watching and listening to you. You are very talented ❤

Magnifique peinture,j'adore !😊❤❤🇨🇵👍

Love to watch you paint . God has blessed you. Thanks for sharing your gift. 😊

Very pretty Kevin, I have been watching you paint for years.

Fabulous painting!!

Brand new here. Been looking for a teacher (or a patron) to follow. Our styles and understanding of oil painting mixes well. Can't wait to watch through more videos. Been debating on painting to sell in the future.

A very good landscape, pretty !

Admiro seu trabalho. Parabéns, artista!

Amazing

You give good painting advice.

Thanks a lot for this free 37 min video. Love this painting. Now a days your videos are bi weekly 😅 I know because you're tied up with multiple channel and patreon, live stream and stuff but plz do post KZread videos every week.

I don't use oils, but love to watch you paint. I'm a acrylic artist and do have your acrylic paints. ❤

another great video like this, please :).

J aime votre style.....la façon de peindre...aussi la technique

I rarely finish a painting in one session, so if I know that I won't have the time, I'll paint in sections. Normally Kevin instructs to paint the underpainting for the whole canvas, but if I know I have time only for the sky I'll only paint the sky and make it complete, and anything that needs to blend nicely with the edges of the sky. But you do need either a clear picture in your head of how you want everything to look like, or to like making it all flow well together as you go. It might not work for all kinds of subjects or working processes, but it's how I'm used to doing it

Thanks sir❤😌

I'm interested in all of it 😃

Great effort broh.

I would like to get some of your lessons can I watch them on the tV

Это прекрасно!

I don't have any oil paints can I do these in acrylic instead? Limited income prevents me from being able to afford dearer paints. Love you work.

Hey Kevin what do you mix the acrylic paint with while your painting I have a hard time like painting the clouds seems like it gets to thick and dries to fast doesn’t look smooth I am new to acrylic painting

What is the gel please you use on the water?

I'm sure this painting is inspired from Edward Harrison Compton!!

Hello, I am trying to get information about how to get to buy Kevin's DVDs. I sent an email many months ago but never got an answer from Kevin. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I live in the Republic of Ireland. Thank you.

❤

Meisterklass 1👍👍👍♥️

That's what I do all the time it takes to long for one sitting some time it takes me a month or more lol

dang, so i've been dry brush blending quite alot on my paintings

Please draw a volcano!

You are the man Kevin. Thank you bro for this.

Hi Kevin. Is it ok for me to sell a work I did via your tutorials?

👍

👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌❤️

12:47 Stopped watching at this point when no mention was made of oiling out! This is pretty essential to see the actual colours and tones on dry areas that have gone flat and dull, especially dark areas. The oiling out also makes the new paint glide on slightly better as well.

I don't ever oil out and it's fine. If I want my paint to glide, I add a little oil to the paint so the slick paint is only applied to the bit I'm actually painting. It's way easier to control that way. I often use the dried textured dull areas to dry brush paint across to add a more realistic touch to the texture. It's all a matter of the way you prefer to work. One is not necessarily better than the other.

🦊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I just put liquid clear all over the canvas if my paint is dry. Then continue painting. It works for me.

For the best of both worlds, try gouache.
