Oil Painting Demo - Nuthatch - 5"x7" canvas panel

For this video demonstration I edited about 6 hours of video down into about 10 minutes, and overdubbed a simple commentary for it. The painting was completed over the course of three days; I was able to film for about two hours each day. I'm using a basic canvas panel, which I primed with two coats of Golden N5 Neutral Grey acrylic paint.
For the demo I'm using Rembrandt Artists' Oil paint. My palette includes Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna, Titanium White, Cadmium Yellow Light, Cadmium Red Deep, Permanent Madder Deep, and Ultramarine Deep.
I'm using brushes from Escoda, Grumbacher, and Royal & Langnickel.
The reference for this painting was generously provided by Russ Bridges.

    You did have a great talent. I am an avid bird watcher and that is an awesome painting of a nuthatch. You are to be commended on that beautiful painting.

    Hi David. Thanks so much for this video. I watched it again now after a year of starting painting and it means even more now. So is this the alla prima method as supposed to the layering method with the robin above? Did you do another layer over this nuthatch?

  • @davidbrancato5339

    @davidbrancato5339

    2 жыл бұрын

    This wasn't alla prima, no. It took me a week or so to finish it. I completed it in about four sessions I believe. Maybe three long ones. It is, however, all in one layer. The robin is done in multiple layers over the course of several weeks. I don't use any mediums to speed drying - I like to let it all dry naturally and that means allowing a week or two to pass between layers. Speaking of time passing I really need to finish that robin haha.

    You could paint this in acrylics, but you'd have to paint it with a totally different technique/method. Acrylics simply won't allow you to paint the way I do.

    I'm glad to hear that you have at least attempted to do this. Don't worry if your work doesn't look the way you expected it to. It takes time to feel out how things work and how you can manipulate the paint to do what you want it to. I didn't structure this video as a tutorial per se, so following along with it is going to be challenging regardless. Don't be hard on yourself while you're learning. Save that judgement for when you do know what you're doing and you make a mess anyway. Now, I do have another bird painting up here on KZread that is actually constructed as a walk-through. It's contained within a playlist. I have most of it finished but the last couple of videos are still in the works. It's very slow-going because I'm not charging for it. You can definitely get started with it though. It's much easier to follow because I'm giving a free step-by-step walkthrough from the very beginning.
