This video demonstrates how to use the Winsor & Newton Liquin family of mediums. It compares them to traditional oil painting mediums and explains their individual properties. It also includes a step-by-step guide for how each medium affects the opacity, transparency, consistency and flow of oil colour.
Wow I didnt realise you could use that much liquin original with a dob of paint that size! I was using a tiny amount relative to paint amount and was really going through the paint. Now I think my paint will flow on a lot better and go a lot further. I had been hoping to do a big canvas one day but was dreading the paint cost since I didnt understand how to use liquin. Thank you Sir!
Actually, don't think ur suppose to use over like 30% medium. 🤷♀️
Hi Ken.
Very helpful and informative video. I've just started working at an art shop and I needed to know the general uses and possibly be shown how to use the mediums in order to see what effect they had with oil paints and you just nailed everything I needed to know.
Thank you v much.
Thank you... had NO idea... .always something more to learn. Amazed how you can increase the amount of paint with the mediums!
Till now no-one taught us about these mediums it's amazing
The information is so valuable there are no words to appreciate your work as well as video also...
Hats off to you...
Thanks for the great explanation on Liquin types. I have never known but one type but now look forward to buying some of the others. Thank!
Thank you for the video, I do a lot of large compositions but I use acrylic because I can manage the volume better. I absolutely will buy Liquin mediums and thank you again.
I have learned very useful techniques , about liquin mediums with oil colours .Thanks
I bought some Winsor & Newton water colours, made in England, at the Walmart in Welland, Ontario.
Hi there! Fantastic video - it can be so hard to get reliable information about all this stuff! The last medium demonstrated (the oleopasto that gives volume without adding texture) seemed like it would be great for a tonal underpainting, where I'm looking to cover large sections with nice smooth, even paints that I can paint over a week later. But I was wondering if that medium adds to drying time?
Thanks for the informative video. One thing im trying to find out about liquin mediums (in particular liquin original) is can they be used as a glazing medium over a painting that has been painted without using liquin mediums or cobolt drier. It seems to me that using a fast drying medium as a glazing medium contradicts with the fat over lean rule ie. slow drying layers over fast drying layers. Would be great if you could shed light on this issue.
Illuminating. Thank you.
fat over lean rule (or thick over thin) is adding more medium for each new layer of paint you are adding onto your canvas. cheers :)
its like Art Heaven ! I love Winsor and Newton, best brands ever #forlife.
Now we r really getting to know how oil painting is done turns out great after using liquin
I love liquin impasto! Thanks for sharing this lovely video. Very informative.
No one mentiones how long should you wait to varnish paintings after using liquin with oil paints.
I thank you for your teaching and your tutorials I didn’t know 👵🏼🤟🏻🎨
Excellent much needed advice. Thank you very much
I have started painting for the first time and i have acquired W and N water mixable oil paints. Many tutorials say that we should not use the paint straight out of the tube, they also explain what mediums do etc, however there is no video showing the beginner exactly what to do to prep the paint for use when it comes out of the tube. Wany tutorials show the pallet and the colour mixing process, but I never see them add any medium. Their paint has a lovely cosistancy, not at all like what came out of the tube - but how did it get that way? Can you explain or direct me to a video that explains what to do and how to organise for doing it effortlessly please?
Can I use the impasto medium mixed with paint over a surface where I have painted with liquin mixed with paint? I mean once the layer with paint and liquin has dried?
Gamblin Gamvar is teh way to go. but u still need a week or two for paintign to dry first. i waited 2 days and gamvar took off some paint lol when i put it on. it was still hard to tell. add Gamblin Cold Wax to make varnish less glossy, it looks really nice that way.
Would liquin without paint added to it be a good primer? I'm wondering because I find gesso to be too dry. Love to hear anyone's suggestions. Thanks!
When you use the impasto method do you still have to use the "fat over thin" principal?
I like brush strokes.
Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Ken,Can you add varnish to the painting after using fine liquin? Or can you you using liquin as a varnish?
I have a few questions: Is liquin fat or lean? and do i have to use more and more liquin after each layer? and can i use different liquins in a single painting?
Thanks in advance.
Can i mixed a whole tube of oil paint with a liquin and kept it in a jar with a lid.
I was wondering how long it would last like this?.... Thanks.
Thanks for the info but the volume needs to cranked up.
With so many ''artist quality mediums'' available then why has Winsor and Newton CHOOSEN to supply most of their paints in student quality?
Both their Water soluble and Alkyd paints are lacking those really stable and opaque paints, namely the Cadmiuns, Cobalts together with those exotic colours such as Cobalt turquoise and Cobalt violet.
Recently they introduced a series of hues in the Cadmiums together with other colours also. Instead of stamping their name on the quality of Artist quality paints available they are now in the business of producing student grade paints, well in most of their ranges anyway.
If one is looking for a really quality paint that produces artist grade colours that are buttery from the tube then they really need to take a good look at Holbeins Due water soluble oils. They do produce their paints with some of the best materials available. Not only that, their water soluble paint can be mixed with watercolours, gouache and acrylics. Can WN paints be used with other mediums.
Another company that uses artist grade colours in their Alkyd paints is Gamblin FastMatte Alkyd Oil Colors. They use Cadmiums, Cobalts and other compounds that ensures that the artist is being offered the ultimate in Alkyd paints.
If you're an artist then compare W and Newtons paints against those offered by Holbein and Gamblin and read the reviews. Its time W and N started listening to the artist instead of reducing the quality of the paints they offer.
READ THE REVIEWS BEFORE YOU BUY!!!!
Phil Cole are the bob ross paints any good. Thats what im using. Also i use rustoleum oil paints. They work good for me. Whats youf opinion
I have heard that Winsor and Newton sold to China. I have noticed a great loss in the quality of the canvas and other products. I will not buy from them any longer. Too bad - China has always lacked in any quality. Too bad we all suffer the loss in quality for cheaper items. (2019)
Who cares?
Great informative video!
Can someone please explain to me the Bob Ross style of "wet on wet" painting using liquid white as a canvas primer or a Geso primer. I am new to this style of oil painting and very interested to start painting.
Hi Colin, if you want to learn Bob's wet on wet technique, you probably need one of his books or DVDs. Or if you take a look on youtube, I'm sure you will be able to find some helpful videos. We have one video demonstration using this techniques on our channel: czcams.com/video/8MDjDxcn5mc/video.html
9:09 is where the varnish beginning
is liquin comparable to Maroger medium?
very similar
Volume problems!
which medium do you prefer.some good information thanks.
Thanks, I'll do that.
I've had big problems with Liquin. Over the years it significantly dulls the paint to more yellow brown. Very dissapointing!
pale drying poipl is what you want for the lighter colors. using too much liquin will make it yellow for sure.
hi can you use the mediums after the the experation date ?
Do you have to remove the Retouch varnish before using the final varnish please? Or can you just varnish over the top?
Hi Sarah, after 6 to 9 months when the oil painting is completely dry, regular artist varnish can be applied without the need to remove the retouching varnish.
@@BromleysArtSupplies Many thanks!
Thank you
Liquin is the best there is for oil medium.. I can swear by it....
DOES liquin mediums are yellowing ?
which are yellowing ?
which are not yellowing ? TELL ME PLEASE
label on the back of liquin original states that it resists yellowing
I'm new to using oils. Very informative but how much original liquin am I supposed to add when painting? If the liquin speeds up the drying process does that mean I don't have to wait 6 months to varnish my work?
No, you must still wait at least 6 months to a year before you varnish it. Also, Liquin CANNOT be used as a varnish. Before you try varnishing or using Liquin on a good painting, test all that out on a scrap painting first. Lachri Fine Art has some very informative videos regarding all this. You should check her out on CZcams. Happy painting! :)
***** many thanks for your comment. I will check out Lachri Fine Art. happy painting. www.artyboi.co.uk
wrong, u can use Gamvar (gamblin varnish) as soon as teh painting is dry to the touch. it is the best and now comes in satin and matte finish.
Jon Focker that is completely wrong. You want to wait at least 6 months before you varnish a painting. Some people get away with a shorter time frame, but never less than two months. And that's with very thinned out paint, Ala prima, and painting very thinly.
Gamvar has worked for me many times. but maybe "dry to the touch" is wrong even though its said u can do that. i'd wait a couple weeks.
Can Dammar be used on top of egg tempera?
that's seems like a lot of liquin for that blob of paint. And with this amount of Liquin, won't the paint try too quickly and cause cracking?
Patricia Arquette I've used huge ratios of liquin before I knew anything, but they never cracked. It's very flexible. I've had webbing from too much turp though.
what about Gamvar? can u use that sooner than 6 months? its seems to work for me
Jon Focker Gamvar is an exception to the varnishing rule.
Can you please give a list of mediums you used?
Yeah, I want that too. I want to know which one is the third medium.
Thank You
can two mediums be used together
Thank you!
thank you
Thanks.
Thank you :)
Thank tou very much for this video! very usefull!
great information! Thx.
I like that stuff
Yes the volume is low
Thanks
Thank u sir
can these liquins be used with ANY brand of oil paint?
yes
interesting video. thanks.
by the way, mediums is fine as in plural. The 'media' plural is more commonly associated with plural verbs. This medium comes from the medical medium (noun) which can be media or mediums in plural. So he is right. Eg 2 psychic mediums. I don't think that would work as a couple of psychic media!
Oil painting without oil.
crips dont die we multiply
I was thinking the same thing! He must be a Crip with that blue flag hanging out his left side... well, on his head, but you get the idea. lol
Baaahahahaha awesome
Unable to hear this !! Turn up the freakin' VOLUME. Please. Thank you. Nevermind.
You've mixed enough red paint and Liquin there to paint the walls of the Smithsonian: I'm guessing you're trying to sell a lot of paint! There is no need to mix all of the medium and the paint on the palette. Just dip your brush into the Liquin then into the paint.
That was way to much medium.
How toxic is liquin"
VERY toxic, highly flammable and really bad for the environment. Google the MSDS (materials safety data sheet) for liquin . It's a byproduct from the manufacturing of gasoline and contains some pretty nasty chemicals.
Google it and you will see the safety precautions you will need to take. I have several artist friends who have used it like over 20 years and love it and have no problems with it. BUT they all say you must have good ventilation in the air around you when you use. If you use it in a tiny closed in room it will give you a headache that can last a long time.
Please don't shake the bottles up and down while we are trying to read the labels ...thanks
Miserable 🐮 ..the bottles are also on the table, a bright person clicks 'pause'..
