Oil Painting: How And When To Use Medium

I know chronologically when these videos were filmed based on how many Cage's there are in the background

Your channel is an asbolute goldmine as someone who's just getting into oil painting. Straight to the point, good tips, yet you empathize and understand the struggle beginners go through. Thank you!

You can tell you love what you do by the way to explain the whole process to your students, I feel very comfortable listening to you and your hands on experiments which makes it so much easier to understand

I would love to see a video on the specific effects of different undercoats. What colors to use when, how heavy to make them, etc. Would be very useful.

Paint coach thank you so very much for explaining the color wheel more so the color wheel not just the primary colors but all the rest of them. I love all colors but trying to understanding mediums, values, shadows, highlights, secondary, complimentary, split- complimentary, Tetradic, triatic ( color composition), analogue, and monochromatic just to name a few and I hope I spelled them right. I know to rise higher in my artistic skills I need to understand these colors but I feel like giving up sometimes because I didn’t know that you needed to know all that. My beliefs was all you needed was just the desire to be a good enough artist to draw and just paint with simple colors and that was good enough. It’s very hard to understand but i will keep pushing on and hope that my brain will get to gain knowledge of the color wheel. But I truly enjoy the way you explain a lot of it. I will draw a lay of the color wheel and learn to group my colors together and learn more as I see it and understand

Thanks a lot coach for very useful lesson.I was really confused about using mediums in my paint what a relive.Its good to know.❤

I am Buddy Thank you for giving me the awesome teaching me the rule of using Thiner and line ceed oil, I was ready to give up painting THANK YOU!

As I begin oil painting coming from 20 year watercolor journey I know painting I don't know the materials and mediums are incredibly (as you say needlessly) confusing. I am going with thinner and linseed oil you got it. Thanks for the heads up on Rosemary Brushes Got 4 really nice ones picked from the Richard Schmid set for $40.00 awesome. All your presentations are straight forward and I hear you beg people to play and experiment. When I learned watercolor some wise one said prepare to waste a lot of expensive paper! I did but it's paying back now...the pain!! LOL keep up the good work!

Great tips straight to the point thanks man...

Thanks a lot. This is the clearest tutorial I've ever seen about this subject. That's why I'm joining your channel

Thanks Coach, ive watched a few of your videos, ive now subscribed, just about to start my oil painting hobby, its very hard for me to concentrate for long as i was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's 3 yrs ago when i was 59 yrs old, I'm 62 yrs old & I'm hoping to leave my sisters & my daughter's a wee picture in oils as a wee present before i pop my clogs, from a guy who can't draw well to begin with, ive nothing to lose, remember anyone who's reading this, " Everyday is a school day"😊 blessings from Glasgow Coach ❤

Great vid. Clear and concise.

Yes I liked your video until the last minute 😊👍...you're an awesome teacher , bless you sir and thank you for sharing all these precious tips... 🌷🌷

Thank you! I finally found a video that explains the use of medium clearly!

I switched from acrylics to oil just for the blending effects that come with oil. I'll never use acrylics aging lol.

THANK YOU!!! It has been so hard to find a straight forward and usable video about mediums, I am a beginner and this helped so much.

"work thin to thick" no👏one👏ever👏explained👏this👏 THANK YOU 💚💙

Omg!!!! Just the video i was thinking about!

Thank you so much for tackling this issue. The medium/solvent element of oil painting has always made it feel like I'm having to perform some alchemy while painting, making the process very cumbersome.

This was so helpful! Thank you 😊😊
