New hoodies and beanies......?!?!
yes please!
Noticed the New haircut
Yes!!!!
YESSS
I noticed.. i love the simple design. Really works!
“if you’re new i’m slew” should be your new intro
I tried oil painting once. I tried painting a wee landscape for my Grans Christmas one year. It was so hard but I tried my damnedest to make something look half decent. Then after it was finished I sat it down in my living room in front of the radiator to try and dry it and my cat walked across it leaving green foot prints all over my house. I had to wash the cat in the bath and it nearly ripped my arm off. That's a true story BTW so I'm hoping after watching this video it will be a better experience. Thanks man 😂✌️❤️
Good lord, your cat didn't want you to be great lmao....I hope it is better next time!
@@Dayolddoughnuts that cat gave me more grief about being an artist than my Dad did 😂🙀
I hope you got rid of your cat? I think cats are evil 😬😂😀 Oh dear!! Hope you give it another try next time. 👍
@@alsanova it was cheaper to just wash that cat than buy a new one 😂
tip: drying with heat works for acrylics, not oils. Oil paint must undergo a chemical process to "cure". To speed the drying time you would have to add drying medium into the paint. When I finish painting I put it somewhere out of reach for my cat, also I don't lay it on the back but on the side to reduce the amount of my cats fluffy hair that will stick to the paint.
Something about acrylics would be great too ✌️
Started oil painting this year, was never really into acrylics, did a bit of watercolor but oil paint made me fall in love :)) hahaha. Idk why but the fact that acrylic dries so fast just freaks me out
Great video, you say you’re not a teacher, but I think you’re doing an amazing job teaching :]
the advise can be even applied to art in general!
Good info bro. I appreciate these episodes as they help a lot! Cheers from Vancouver Island 🌴🤙
Another good one! Thanks slew!
This video inspired me to get back into my passion: painting! Life gets so busy but I need to make the time for it and this video truly moved me to make that push
BELIEVE IT OR NOT my guy, When I talk about the artists I watch, My list of names sounded a lot like yours, but your name is definitely on that list.
I'm so excited to watch this video
I love your videos Slew!!!!!! You put your thoughts into easy to understand form and I really appreciate it!!!
Thanks for the helpful tips. I'm just beginning with oils and really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Love this painting and all your other pieces!
best natural teaching I have ever experienced! Thank you I love your work and your style.
I’ve learnt so much from watching your videos! Love your work!
Really cool to watch your progress ☺️ . I'm applying many of your lessons in my art there's an while, and i can already see the difference. Practicing is the key 🎨☕🤓!
Great video. It makes perfect sense about balance between obtaining knowledge and actually putting the brush to a canvas.
Great video man really appreciate the content
Your passion... I love it.
You are so real, thank you! it help me a lot to learn 🥺💘
Dope video! Sick work
Good tips here. I enjoying listening to Bad Friends and YMH while I paint also. Enjoy your channel a lot. Also enjoy all the other youtube artists channels you mentioned. I add in Paint Coach, he's got a good one and is pretty informative/teaching specific. Keep up the great work Slew. I've got 5 paintings in the works right now, you inspired me to stop procrastinating and get some work done on those.
It looks so good keep it up.
Love the artwork... absolutely amazing!!!🙂⭐🌟💙
Ive been waiting for this dope
I am learning how to use soft pastels to paint! I always thought that you used pastels for drawing but if you want to create real artworks your “painting” with pastels! I have been a working artist for years and working with pastels is a wonderfully new experience! Thank you for sharing your oil experience! I enjoyed watching your video and I am looking forward to seeing you create future content on your oil painting journey!
u are an amazing artist 👁
I really like that you did something like this! I think it could be a very easy trap for people to accidentally fall into if they think that only knowledge matters - rather than both knowledge and experience. Excellent work my friend
The most simplified explanation and kinda aesthetic. Loved your video.
thanks for making this video I have been struggling with oil painting
I've been using Acrylics for years, just recently started working with oils. Focusing on getting better with them primarily for portraits, where I need longer drying times. But also practicing using oils with my landscapes too, just to get used to the feel of them, etc... Nice vid!
Yo dude all Im saying is you’re gonna do great things. For sure. Love your videos!
Love your vibe man
I love you
I LOVE SLEW
C'mon Mark don't be stingy!
I paint miniatures with acrylic and I'm about to branch out into oil on canvas. Helpful video and I love that the language of art is universal. Thank you!
I loved the video! ❤️
Good job mate 👍👍👏
Excellent ! Just what I needed to see and hear - Well articulated and a great piece.
Instant Sub √ Thanks
I love you slewww!!!
New haircut! Looks good! I've watched almost all ur vids, keep it up! Im a beginner! Your videos inspire me to paint more! My aunt is an artist so she teaches me. I got 1 oil painting under my belt! 😁
Excellent mind set on getting the xp experience points for 3-6 months at a time! I’m in my forties and recently started myself!
Very well done video! I'm a pinstriper/sign painter by trade so working with oil enamels is familiar, but not necessarily in this capacity. Definitely inspired me to jump into some legit oil painting.
New viewer and subscriber. your illustrations, drawings and paintings are so amazing. thank for sharing
Thanks for the advice sweet art
holy fkn shiaaattt i think i’m in love ( ur art is so beautiful 🥺)
Love it! Thanks for beeing ma hero slew! I paint tomorrow again. Failing to success!
Greetings from Argentina
! Excelent video (and channel)
Love the colors in this. Makes me want to break out my paints.
I love Slew
Hey! gorgeous painting, you always motivate me to get up and paint. I wanted to ask what podcasts do you enjoy listening to while painting? I finished all the ones I listen to, and am looking into starting something new.
bought oil painting materials and this popped up in recommended 😎 complete life saver
Love it still....ty
Fire!! 🔥
I JUST WANTED TO START! and look at that my favorite CZcams posts a tutorial
Nice! I love Bad Friends and YMH while drawing and painting as well haha
Love the painting and you cut your hair, looks great
Very nice👍👍
Great video man , love your content. Quick question , did you prepare your canvas before painting with oils ? If not I would suggest you do it , apply a layer or two of acrylics before , really helps with the process after. Keep on painting!
Would love to see you paint a landscape!
Man those painting are all awesome ! You nail portraits . I'm practicing with pencil currently cuz I'm awful in portraits :)
Btw dude ana mural painting in future ?
Try to flip the canvas for 180° so you can see the proportions of the face in a better way. That trick helped me A LOT.
Really enjoying your content! Keep going!!
THE HOODIE. Also the painting and the
Love the vid . I have to try harder to get through the ugly phase and finish anyway . I often stop or just paint something else because I think the paintings not working . Thanks for all the tips .
❤️🇦🇺❤️✌🏾✌️✌🏻
Thanks for this video, its very detailed. Having got involved in the stock market and made little profits, i still greatly believe in bitcoin trading mostly as the market is very bullish at this point in time. I strongly advice us to get involved in DAY TRADING properly guided by a pro traded with a working strategy/daily signals. For me it's been very successful because i was being guided by a pro trader called Mr Richard whose strategy/daily signals has proven to be so accurate and well analyzed. Trading and growing my portfolio from 0.9btc to 5.8btc within 4 weeks is so awesome and credible. Don't you think this is the right time to grow the little we hold ahead of more bullishness ? Mr Richard can be reach via Insta @richard_brucefx* for inquiries into profitable trading systems......
Omg i've never been this early 😍🥺
You are so smart
Thanks for the 14 day trial.
Saw some Winsor Newton paint...around here it is on clearance at Michaels...also at a Michaels in Canada. May want to check them out if they are close to you.
That intro was great 😂
I miss the ASL. Maybe when they reopen Ill see you there.
You have great taste, Jeans
hey SLEW! since you read fantasy novels, did you know that "slew" is an actual past tense word? example: they asked you a slew of questions and you mercilessly slew them down expertly. haha.
keep up the good work, Its pretty dam entertaining to see how many different ways you've come up to basically say the same thing. Its commendable to have willingness to help out, even if it seems redundant. Truly you are a patient young man and your awesome artwork is placed by a worthy hand indeed . keep on slewin it
I'm actually watching this at 12:40am and decided to give skillshare a try. I just signed up at a great discount for $69. for the first year. Not being sponsored by skillshare, however I am totally excited with starting my adventure tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes. Can't wait.
Shot Slew for the skillshare hookup and the tips ✊🏽
Just curious as to why you sketched it and painted it from the sketch as opposed to just skipping the sketch and just painting it from the photo as the source reference.
I watch a bunch of your videos and I always notice that we watch the same podcasts when we are painting haha
Excelente, y se cortó tu pelo?
Does this work for acrylic?? If not could you do one for acrylic? Also have you ever used gauche
actually oil paint is much more user friendly than acrylic.. oil gives you more time to refine your paint because it dries much longer, though there are substance you can mix in the paint to fasten the drying period. or mix that substance in linseed oil. linseed oil is good especially if you are blending, if you dont want heavy strokes esp on the face then you need linseed to wet your mixture. it also refine your strokes, sometimes you get a lot of bad strokes because of that dry brush,a bit of linseed can fix that.
Baby face slew hit different
Do I need to cover my canvas at the end of the day (before painting is finished).
Can you draw or paint more Star Wars related stuff?
You should teach
I love Natalie and I really like her on your painting tho
YMH!
That intro alone got the like

Your moms house podcast is the best. I cant watch/listen to it while I paint though, it's too distracting. Anyway, good video as usual.
What’s his moms podcast?
C'mon Mark don't be stingy!
I wanna try oils so bad, my dad used to paint with oils. Seems a little daunting, but this video definitely eased a lot of stress
I paint with acrylics and do my best to replicate what most oil painters do. It’s a complete definite process but is still extremely enjoyable and still a great skill
@@loganbooker1084 done quite a bit of acrylic painting myself haha my problem with acrylics is the speed at which they dry
You might consider water soluble oil paints, I must stress that you use water for clean up! Use medium to mix and thin the paint!
@@Doginthesleep look into getting a retardant if you haven’t already. They’re not over expensive and slow down that process. I 100% feel that though. It can be more than frustrating
Alpay is also a good master painter
Yes! I watch all of his videos also!
Omg slew got a haircut
It is padme ?
Who knew Slew was a fellow Mommy :D
Am I trippin or did you get a haircut? 🤔
Chopped a bunch off recently hahah!
@@slewp good for you!
Haven’t done an oil painting in 3 years, I wasn’t very good because I tried to draw my paintings
We want OG SLEW
Wallpaper(s).
Still waiting for that ymh shout-out
I am 1 hour late again! Oh welp at least theres a new video to watch!!
Slew is the GOAT
.....girl stop
Wiggling around and manuveuring around is so tedious that the pay off when it clicks is dull sometimes, to me
Not sure how the video helps inform new painters on how to actually improve which is what the title states. The only tips seem to be: just paint, set smart goals, what alla prima is, who to go watch on CZcams to learn about painting, limited palette is better to mix colors.
If you make another video I think it would be helpful to talk about mixing/drying properties and tendencies of oils vs acrylic. Most people struggle with this right off the bat because they’re likely familiar with acrylic drying quickly and layering over earlier stages. I would avoid any recommendation to think about color and instead use just black and white, or white and another color. Monochromatic palettes would allow new painters to first get used to the “thin vs thick” balance and timing of the paint.
If human portraits are the goal it would also be wise to think about big shapes vs small shapes. Details of a face will never look right if the underlying proportions and forms are off. I used to tell my students in drawing courses to squint their eyes when looking at their reference because it helps to simplify the shapes and values. It’s weird to do at first but eventually it can assist in reducing those enticing details of our subject and help us to see mass shapes and forms which are the basis in creating volume and the illusion of 3D form.
I think it’s cool that you’re bringing oil painting into an accessible place for beginners and people who have felt intimated by it, but I would be more aware of the “how to improve” title if there’s little to no info in the video on actual steps to starting an oil painting and why those steps are good/helpful for beginners. CZcams and social media are poor representations of “how to paint” videos, at times, because viewers are seeing videos from artists at so many different levels. IMO it’s important to help beginners find their starting place. Also it’s obvious, but to remind beginners that they’re paintings won’t look like the trained artists on CZcams because they’re just starting. Painting and drawing can be frustrating at first and that’s okay. But to help a beginner start out it’s best to state the obvious that it takes time and drawing or painting for an hour a day will accelerate their results faster than once a month. Also expanding our pool of figurative painters helps us see the range of interesting painting. Looking at as many examples of figurative painters through history will help expand the definitions of “good painting”!
Happy painting everyone!! 🎨
Thanks for the thoughtful comment
