What a simple but indeed helpful technique for the newbies in oil painting. Starting from thin to thick is a good way of combining your colors or painting over it where it it doesn't look dirty and you got the combination you wanted. Wiping your brush well on a paper towel, and stroking your paint brush lightly so you could build another color on top of it without messing it up is really helpful. Using this technique where you only need a paint brush (a specific type of paint brush), paint thinner, and types of colors you can now make an art.

Even the mess you've made on the paper towel turned into art! That was really helpful thank you!

EDIT: I am TOTALLY WRONG. This is because I misunderstood what the person "teaching" me about fat/lean was trying to explain. I'll keep my original comment so others realize the wrong I was stating, BUT directly below I will now explain "Fat over Lean" in the way it's properly applied: "Fat over Lean" refers to mixing other substances in to your base tube paint to get different consistencies. You want to have the bottom layers to be Lean, then progressively get "fatter" as you add more layers. This is because when all the layers of paint cures/dries, it'll prevent long term cracking and other issues. For Lean, you use spirits (turpentine, solvent, etc) so it thins out the paint. Proportions of the "most" you can mix in is left to interpretation, but most say no more than 20% Lean spirits compared to a given amount of base tube paint. This mix will give you runny watery oil paint, and it'll lose some of its pigmentation becoming duller. You want to use the "Lean" layer to lay down directly on top of your totally dried gesso and/or acrylic underpaints. Compared to Fatter mixes (and even base tube paint), Lean layers dry very fast, usually a few hours. For Fat, you use oils like Linseed or Safflower oil (as well as other mediums). The highest proportion you can add to this is anything you want, BUT too much oil will wash out your pigments a little, and will make the painted layer dry MUCH slower (maybe a few days to a week!). You want to use "Fat" layers as the later layers most on top. So the idea is: Lean layers dry first, then fat layers dry last. If the Lower layers dry slower than top layers, it'll tear the top layers apart, causing the cracking I talked about. We don't want this. Some suggestions in terms of layering suggested is this, very unfortunately-long and time-consuming painting schedule. Times vary, so experiment: + Canvas: bottom most structure + Base Layer: Gesso. Apply, wait to dry (about 24 hours), sand to smoothness with 600-800 grit paper & wipe off dust, apply Gesso again, wait to dry, sand to smoothness, apply one more Gesso layer, wait to dry, optional sand. + Layer A (optional): Acrylic paint. You can optionally apply acrylic paint under oil paint, but you need to wait until it completely dries. Usually wait a full day after you paint the last acrylic paint layer. Do NOT use glossy mediums. Ultra Matte and Flat mediums mixed in the acrylic paint is fine. + Layer 1: Lean Layer. Mix around 20% Lean in to base tube paint. Put it on the canvas. Consider this your background layer, or an undertone layer. Allow to dry, probably half a day. + Layer 2: Less Lean Layers. Depending on how many layers you want, you can mix less and less Lean in the base tube paint. Either let each layer dry to the touch, or mix together so long as original color layers are not obstructed. + Layer 3: Base Tube Paint Layer: Take paint straight from the tube mixing nothing inside it. Paint on, and mix or place down paint as you see fit. This layer takes about 1-3 days to dry, maybe longer. + Layer 4: Less Fat Layers: Now begin slowly adding more linseed oil in to the base tube paint. Do this each layer. Note that the more linseed oil you add, the "thinner" and more "transparent" the base paint will seem. Good for blending, but takes a LONGER time to dry the more linseed oil you use. For these layers, it'll take about 3-7 days to dry. + Layer 5: More Fat Layers: This is where you mix way more than 10-20% fat in to the base tube paint. It'll take about 4-10 days to dry. Note: What's not specified is usually a "new" layer can be applied when the prior layer is "touch dry." So gently press your finger or something on the layer of paint. If it feels like dried plastic and doesn't leave too much of an oil paint mark, then it's "dry touch" and another layer can be placed on. Note the inside of that prior layer of paint is not totally dry, so over time it will slowly continue to dry, which is why Fat over Lean method is so important, because it takes this in to account and prevents cracking. - One thing someone told me was to use something called fat. Doublecheck my advice, but from what I understand, if you have color 1, put down a thin layer of fat, then put down color 2 over where you put the fat, itll somehow block layer 1 from mixing with layer 2. Not sure if you need to wait for layer 1 to dry first, or if you can't put multiple layers of paint fat over each other ex. layer 1, fat, layer 2, fat, layer 3, etc etc, but its something someone suggested to me for oil painting and preventing mixing of two colors. -

Yes you could do that, but 1. Typical oils take so long to dry that it might not be feasible (although eg some landscape painters will block in background colour then wait a day or more for it to dry), and 2. If you wanted to blend the edges of your top colour with your bottom colour, then you couldn't do that because your background colour would be dry Acrylics dry much faster than oils though, a wait-to-dry approach would be much more convenient with acrylics

Hi! I want to ask a question, but it may take some time to read it in video, so I'll be very-very happy if you сould answer me here 😳. Sorry if I did a mistake, because English isn't my native language, but i tried hard to explain the situation correctly: The artists I know say that they never feel the difficulty, but only the pleasure of painting(they're not very famous, not very experienced and wasnt learning in art schools; theyre painting in naive style, but its still a huge work that brings them money). When I paint with oils(more realistically), I always feel like I’m pushing my limits. It's almost physically difficult, I feel like my brain is boiling. And my work is almost always divided into stages: 1) shit 2) shit 3) I thought it couldn't be worse, but here we are 4) maybe all my previous 'wins' was just a randomness? 5) *some magic happens at the 90% of process* 6) perfection, it must have been drawn by the spirit of Leonardo da Vinci, which had taken the control over my body when I was at that 90% Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I don’t feel that the process of painting is getting easier, I work hard and it rarely gives me pleasure (only at the end). I love the result and I feel really satisfied by the work I did, but where is the pleasure and lack of difficulties that everyone is talking about? Ty so much for attention!

He's done a video (I think) on the "ugly stages of paintings". All the layering, planning and prepping makes for something that's not gonna be pretty through the entire painting process, thus that 90% point. And as for not fully enjoying it, maybe take a different approach to painting. Unlike the paint coach, try mixing lots of paint beforehand with a palette knife. Ooooor do it all in one sitting, go faster, try different approaches. Or maybe oil isn't for you at this point of your life. Acrylic, I feel, has treated me well once I knew how to manipulate it.

Doesn't using transparent paints make it more difficult? I was getting the same effects recently but I thought the reason was the transparency of the paint, I tried adding some opaque white (since the color was incidentally also orangey, though on somewhat dark red, not dark blue). The yellow I have is really transparent. I don't want to buy an opaque yellow now because I have too much paint for my needs anyway. (Also I'm using water soluble oil paints, it's a modern invention, it's not acrylic paints as one might think. I think my lack of experience is more important than that detail though: they were made by experts to be as oil-like as possible, after all).
