  • @drphilg49505
    @drphilg49505 Před 3 lety +4

    It's not just the technique that's impressive - it's the overall composition. Being able to get the colors to work together and contrast so well seems equally important as the actual brush skills. Well done!

    Looking at it under the bright light: "Oh, that's nice!"

    I'm impressed at how well that looks under some more regular lighting. You did an excellent job, here!

    Fair warning: Daryll is definitely going to work on his 1983 Trans Am tonight, and he'll be blaring Bad Company and Molly Hatchet on the garage's sound system until at least 3am. He only turns it up that loud so you can enjoy it too.

  • @Abomb1987
    @Abomb1987 Před 3 lety +1

    I have been using oil paints since I heard you and Scott talk about the Dimitri video on the podcast. I immediately bought a thing of Windsor newton oil paint starter set and I have been implementing them ever since . Oil washes are my go to washes now and the oil paint blending has really helped me with non-metallic metal since I can smoothly blend out the brightest white and the darkest dark of the Gradient.
    Thanks for all your content and fun wit to keep the hobby exciting

    This video is really helpful! I’ve collected various paints, inks, and kits for painting across a lot of types of crafting- so seeing you use oils (I have water soluble oils so I will give it try the same way) and acrylic inks (I have calligraphy/ alcohol inks would those work? ) - gives me so many ideas to use what I have and new pigments to use in mini painting
