Why don't you clean your palette

Chris Fornataro

When the paint dries on a wood palette you can't really scrape it off without ruining the palette. My laziness to clean it after every time I use it has caused a lot of paint to get built up. I need to buy a new one.

Dianne Parker

If only I could do that with my bathroom- let the dirt build up then get a new one. Love your site

Chris Fornataro

hahah yeah I regret not taking care of my palette. It wasn't cheap. The next one I get I will take better care of.

From watching a little of this I realized just how very little paint you are picking up on your brush. I use Rosemary and Co brushes. A variety of them and use high quality oil paints. I see here is one of my problems. Too much paint.

Really enjoyed this. It would be extra helpful for us newbies if you could state the colors you are mixing throughout the lesson. Amazing how her shoes really do appear to be metalic/satin!

Kevin Brown

Can you show the referance photos more. So we can see the differant values you are talking about. IE reflected light

Piper Lehman

I love this -- backlit figures are probably my favorite subject. Would like to see this painted larger and looser. I tend to lose my drawing when carving in. So frustrating.

Dave Beck

Loved this one until I got to the hand. Ahhhhhhhhh!

Marita Boswell

Hi Chris. Do you have the painting attachment? Thanks!!

Tracey

I can’t open the reference photos

Tracey

Got them opened. 🤪

Hey Chris! I was wondering what filter do you use to see the shapes better?
