Hi Ken thanks for this video! I have a question about mixing oil paints - you say that when mixing 2 paints is not technically *making* a new colour, one should be aware of the pigment load and basically not going over 4-5 colours for one mixture. I'm wondering if we can assume each tube has 1 pigment powder already, for example, Gamblin's radiant blue is a lighter blue and ... should I take this into account when mixing, that it may be comprised of 1+ pigments?

This was encyclopaedic! Thanks Ken.

This class was so helpful! You are a really insightful instructor. I had a couple of questions: 1. How do you safely store and dispose of your oil paint rags & paper towels with solvent/paint on them? I am concerned about potnetial fire hazard in my home and just putting them in the trash. Are some solvents/oils less combustable? 2. If I want to start with acrylic to get experience with paint and then move to oil paint is that a path that you would recommend? I have been more of a pastel artist until now and I really want to learn to paint.

Hi Ken-

Lisa

I have a some questions-I am new to oil paints, and I've never used them before. I wanted to know on my pallet do I need to prep it with something like linseed oil to make it easier to remove the paint at the end of the day? And also, do you have any lessons about just beginner basics with oils? Or do you know a good online resource? i'm just trying to understand the basics since it is a new medium-I am frustrated with acrylics and trying to mix all the color values before they dry out-I did order a stay wet palette but would go to oils if I could figure out how to use them. Thanks!

Thankyou for this comprehensive lesson, I now have a great understanding of materials now, of which I knew nothing about. Well done

Hey, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I love the way you thought process, it's so clear! My question: This video was from 2022, I'd like to ask if you have found the healthier alternative of solvent, since your favorite one is toxic? Spike Lavender and Gamsil were the alternatives, but you didn't love those back then. Also - Is there a reason why you referred to mediums as a Varnish? I need to buy a varnish, but there wasn't any listed (unless I got it wrong, and medium can actually be used as varnish?)

Hello, Ken. I hope you are doing fine! Unfortunately, my shellac isnt as liquid as yours. So I was thinking to seal the surface with either turpertine (I think this is called imprimatura) or guesso and some acrylic painting added on the guesso. Is that possible?

KARINA TAMEZ

Hello Ken!! I have a question about shellac. Do you use it in every type of paper you use? I have the arches oil paper. I usually work with gesso but i want to experiment with shellac.

Patricia Penner

Outstanding! Thank you. You answered a lot of questions I had been struggling with for quite some time. You are a gem. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with us.

Really great stuff I love the way you simplify particularly the brushes wish I had been taught to think that before purchasing my brushes I’ve ended up with way too many soft brushes!

Teresa Siesmaa

Thank you so much Ken. So much valuable information.
