    Thanks for checking out my book! I have a “painting packet” of a Black-Capped Chickadee available on my website. It has written instructions and step-by-step photos. ( just like the book projects )

  2. Greetings!

    Thanks for the mini video lesson. hope to see some on birds. Please!

    That’s true, it’s totally up to anyone’s particular interpretation. I simply prefer a more realistic interpretation. Being as such, no one can tell me it’s wrong, anymore than they can tell you your black and violet grass is wrong. Make art in the way that feels right to YOU.

  5. in painting THERE IS NO MISTAKES. everything is proper. true artist paint things as he see them. this means artistry. grass isnt green. it’s white, black and violet. stupid-landshaft stereotypes.

  6. @BDJOEcustomvideos I’m not sure what you mean, unless you’re picking up paint from the under layers and it’s mixing into your brush. If that’s the case, thin the paint down on the brush so it will adhere to the underpaint easier and not lift so much of it.

  8. how do you take the colors with the fan brush? This question I ask because when I use fan brush, colors make different groups. This irritates me a lot. I do oil painting!

    For cleaning my brushes and thinning the paint, I use 100% odorless Mineral Spirits ( aka “Paint Thinner” ) The hardware store variety works just as good as anything you’ll find at the art/craft store and will probably cost less.

    thanks a lot, i have one more question, when wasing or changing colors of the brush, are you suing turpentine? its acts like the water?

    You can use your linseed mixed with tube white oil paint to make your own “white” medium. Actually, I am currently working with a manufacturer to produce my own signature White Oil Medium which should be available sometime this year.

  12. hi, i wanna know what medium are you using sir, i have a linseed, can i use it instead of magic white? thanks

  13. @wilsonbickford
    I thought so. I love oil paints, i just don’t have the currency to go and buy them. But thanks so much for your advice, and keep making videos. You’re an excellent teacher.

    These techniques will work with Acrylics, but you’ll need to work at a faster pace due to their very fast-drying nature.

  15. I imagine that this technique along with the cloud shading one, are just as effective with acrylic paint? Seems that oil paint is more exspensive, but i love the texture and color they produce.

  16. Pretty much straight from the tube, unless I’m using a different approach, ( such as “glazing” ), whereby I would thin the paint down with a medium. But, that is not the case with this video.

  17. do you use your colors dirct from the tube or do you add anything to them before painting

  18. What a great oil painting lesson……thank for showing me how to use the brasses drawing those Fir trees….amazing!!
