Transcripts

1. Intro: Hi everyone. I'm Victoria shooting an artist. And this time I will show you my old technique. It is different. It is not the same as acrylic. Also, I will show you my fourth principle in making art. And I hope this will help your creativity and broaden your horizons in making art. I hope this information will broaden your horizons in making art and your creativity. And I hope this will help you to be inspired more. This video is more for inspiration, but not totally. So let's get started. 2. Thin layer. Main composition.: Hi everyone. I hope you'll enjoy this video. I have decided to make this video a little bit faster. And I will show you how to paint oil. Abstract, white bright, which is not usual form for me. I have some bright, some bright paintings. And this painting is bright. One of the series. Well, what, I didn't know. My plan is to cover the white chamfers of Canada's with the first layer. And it is really important. This is the basis of what will happen next. The next two parts, I use oil and I use simple solvent, wide spirit. Without smell. Of course. Your place where you paint, laws being fresh air must, must come. They're very, very bad for you house to brace with this wide spirit. So hand. Well, I would like to tell you about about what what I paint. I paint abstract. Abstract means no concrete form. But my moving, my hand moves, as you see. I draw something. And this is my manner of paint. Because I believe that when you paint and it looks like you draw, this is the success. After. And the NDRC. This effect of drawing. While I take contrast colors, pink and being orange, blue and green. Pink is for the SCR opposite for green, orange chase for blue. And they are all in harmony. On the surface. I cover all the white blind pieces of Canvas. And in the beginning I use a large flat brush. For the large canvas. She, there should be a large brush. There might be a larger one. But for my compositional ideas and for my, I got cues to these brushes and visit you. You may use larger, larger brush for this size of Columbus. And this video, a smaller more is not for repetition more, but is for inspirational need. The solvent wide spirit is used to make acronym alec effects. And I believe that the contrast of sick layer and scene layer is also a very important contrast. Because our eye is looking at the artwork in it doesn't get bored because different parts of the surfaces looks different. It's seems easy, but it works somehow. This is the simple idea. Well, but it works well. This is how I began. And now you'll see the first layer digitally. I, I add another plus 2 brush. It's more like spatula, plastic. Spatula, not plastic, but rather from DALYs door. I usually use it and when it's not, it's not so expensive. So I usually change. And it's very useful especially. And the first moments of fusing. Afterward, it's covered with paint and it's hard to use. I make some lines here just to practice a little bit. Not, I will not leave them there. And just for Brexit sin and for having more experience in editing, adding some lines. And this is how it works. Solvent once B flat brush and speci are from the DIY store. For orange and opposite I use violet and also green on the bottom. You'll see later the finished artwork. And closer and closer view. You can see my real time moves. Well, this is it. Light and dark is also some really important here. And gradient from the darkest side to the lightest. Well, it's the first part. 3. Accents and contrasts: Well, I go on painting. And this is the second part. And this part, I unite all the colors and all of them. Bart's off the canvas. Combine, combine colors and erase things which I don't like. Erasing and fainting and repeating the same thing. This is the way I put the color on the surface of cameras. Also. This part is about what to add and what to remove from the surface. And it's very important to wait after the first bought till the first layer is getting a bit dryer. As you seem. I add to layer and erase it and I repeat this many, many times. And after that, I can pour some solvent on the surface. And the traces are left. Sousa repetition. And you're removing and adding the layer. This is the main principle. And he night small pieces, big pieces, big bars and small parts. Editing some new colors and new hues. This time I add blue. And what is really important is not editing white in the first part, the first layer, but editing white in the second layer. Now, you see I add some white paint and mix y two with other colors. Because now I can do it. The first layer and doesn't consist of white and white, isn't there? White is not. The right. You know, white. Usually the white paint usually gives us the dirt. And the color is not so transparent. While transparency, this is the main idea of the first layer. And after I add some more and more paint and add and add layers, layer after layer. 4. Details. Uniting main accents: Hi, This is the third part, the finishing layer of the artwork. This, this part is about smaller details and uniting the smaller parts in bigger parts together. This is about how to, how to mix colors on the palette. Well, I would like to repeat my four main principles again. This is the intuition first, when you have some experience in making art, don't hesitate to use your intuition and believe it. Believe yourself in putting any color on the surface. Next is making mistakes. It doesn't mean that you don't learn opposite. Learn all the time where you make mistakes. And when you see his beautiful leave the space on the surface and then you can remove it anytime and cover it again. One more principle. This is about how to Wow about contrast I told you in the first videos. And the last one is about believing in yourself. And Billy yourself is really important because the one and only criteria is you and your mind and your brain. Don't listen to anyone else who tries to give a piece of advice for you. The only true is in your head, in your mind and will end. Also. I would like to repeat about the tools I use. This is, this is first of all, this the silicon rush for coloring the hair. You can find it in. And a sharp for coloring the hair. For cosmetology and so on. And this is very useful for making gradient between dark and light, between small pieces so that they come and interfere one into another. Narrow they're saying is rubber rubber spatula from the DIY store. And it helps you to cover the bigger size of the canvas. And next to the brush, flat, large brush. So I hope you found this joyful and great to look at this video. And don't hesitate to try. And be sure you are the only one criteria. Whether you do better or not. And good luck. Okay. 5. Conclusion: Hi again. I hope you found this video. They're useful and helpful. And as you see, oil technique gives you the variety of what you can do because it dries much slower than acrylic paint. I would like to repeat my four main principles, which I was talking about individual. Well, number one is making a lot of mistakes because it helps to learn. That's easy. Number two is contrast. In all. Contrast means not only color contrasts, but the structures and the layer of paint and so on. Principle number 3 is in case if you have some skill in making art, please believe your intuition. Intuition is right anyway. But this is in case if you have some skill in it. And finally, principle number 4 is focusing on the process, not on the result process. This is the main thing in making art. If you think of the result, you will not have a result. So I hope this video will help you to open your new horizons and help you to broaden your mind and have NuScale. Thank you for watching and see you later. Bye.
