This is the 2nd of 3 parts and it goes through the tools and concepts I am using in the block in stage of this project. I am painting on a piece of linen mounted onto an archival hardboard panel. My palette here is Ivory Black, Raw Umber, Alizarin Crimson, Vermillion, Yellow-Brown, and Flake White.

I am curious about how you prepare the board that serves as your palette and support. DO you varnish it or rub linseed oil into it? I use a piece of ply on my easel as well but I haven't used the surface as a palette.

Hi Kimberly! That is a palette I bought from New Wave Palettes. If I hade to make my own I would probably uses a few layers of sanded shellack.

Hi Stephen. I have two questions for you. First, do you only use a primed linen surface when you paint? I took an online painting class with Susan Lyon and she paints on museum board that has 2-3 coats of polyurethane. This surface is very slick and almost impossible to do the initial drawing with a pencil. I also find it difficult to paint on because it has little to no texture to catch the paint. I'm assuming Susan is not the only painter that paints on a slick surface, but is that commonly used and can it be used for your kind of painting- which leads me to my second question. Would you say that you draw with your brush compared to some painters. I am more into drawing but want to paint as well and would be delighted if I could "draw" with the brush. I hope that makes sense.

Another smooth surface that I've noticed oil painters using is copper and even ceramic tile. Have you painted on any of those?

Hi Denise, these days I paint on two surfaces. Lead-oil primed linen, or PVA primed paper. Neither are particualrly slick but the linen is the slicker of the two. I do draw with my brush and sometimes only with my brush. However, I quite like to draw with a pencil as well.

Hello Stephen, I am a recent Patreon to your site, and totally enjoying the learening experience. This is the 2nd tutorial of yours I am following. (first was painting the eye). I am upgrading some of my paints and noted you use Vermillion as your red. The brand I am looking at is Old Holland. They have a Vermillion Extra and Cad Red Medium Vermillion available. Would you mind sharing which is your preference....your colors look so rich and warm. Thank you!

Hi Stephen I am a new patron of yours and very much enjoying your teaching after only 24 hours. I have noticed your raw umber to be very neutral, it appears almost grey to me. The raw umber I use is a darker brown, much like the red and black you mixed at the beginning of this video. Am I right in thinking your raw umber is different, or is it just the screen altering the colour? Eva
