Question: I have gamsol odorless mineral spirits Can that be used to clean my brushes?
Comment from : Thea Moore

I am new to this, and when I got that painting set my friend told me to be careful because the oil could put itself to fire (not sure what it is called in English) and after that I feel afraid to even try 😱 (don't want to burn down my home by not knowing how to handle the oil)brbr The set I got was with colors, turpentine, and linseed oil brbrI wonder what turpentine is used for, what a paint thinner is, and why wasn't there a thing like that in the set? brbrAnd how about the fire safety thing? Do you have a video about that thing brbrAnd also how to clean up the colors and mediums after the canvas is complete, in an as green way as possible? brbrAlso, I was a bit curious about something called "green for oil" that is less toxic and more green Do you know anything about this? brbrNice video, BTW!

Hi, I just started oil painting again after years of acrylic and water color and was looking for the best medium to use The consensus seems to be what you like as well, refined linseed oil I also bought a disposable palette pad and kind of like it but found it not easy to tear off sheets especially when the are gobs of wet paint on here Do you use a disposable palette pad? If so what brand and how do you use it? Do you tear off a sheet at a time before you start or work on the pad top sheet? Thanks, I look forward to your videos

Help please When using Oil paints on thick cardboard, will it eventually leak and come through on the back side of the cardboard as it dries over time????
Comment from : Ava Ault

How strict do you need to be about fat over lean? In one of your other videos you put oil paint over oil paint mixed with linseed oil Isn’t this lean over fat? What happens to a painting long term if you do this?
Comment from : Karen Howard

You're the man! Thank you sir
Comment from : A*Real*♂️

Thank you! I finally found a video that explains the use of medium clearly!
Comment from : YungChing Hung

So thinner is to clean the brushes between colors and linseed oil is for thinning the paint, right?
Comment from : Joan W

Comment from : Nada Kodsia

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
Comment from : Patricia Teacher

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

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
Comment from : monelle

When you put your brush first into the paint thinner to clean brush It seems that there is still thinner on brush which makes the paint not as thick Also How do you go about getting enough pant in a large painting ? Thank you
Comment from : Pamela Williams

How to protect the oil painting from the fungus?
Comment from : J 4 JMR (painting artist)

Maybe a good approach for blocking in is to use paint thinner and not medium? Thoughts
Comment from : Jen Chase

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 $4000 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 nowthe pain!! LOL keep up the good work!

Paint thinner gives me headaches even with a ventilated area I still use it but every time I feel gross by the end
Comment from : MWA Angling

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

These could be great without the unrelenting crappy background music
Comment from : thepowderriverfarrier

Thanks for the encouragement, but I don't think I'll ever be able to paint!
Comment from : Irene McNamara

Thanks for the helpful videos I am an acrylic painter but just bought my first (albeit cheap) oil paint set to mess around with to see if I like oils better I was wondering if there is any non-toxic paint thinners to use? I don’t want to use any with toxic fumes as my art room is in my family kitchen and probably not well enough ventilated Anything I do in there with paint thinners will stink up the whole house

Thank you so much coach!!!!!❤️
Comment from : Arwa

okay no hate but this doesn't match up with other things I've read but I'm still trying to figure it all out I thought "fat over lean" meant that bottom layers have more paint, less medium and higher layers have less paint, more and more medium until the top layer has the most medium Can you explain?
Comment from : Bethanie Bailey

Love your workim a beginner and was wondering is there a non toxic paint thinner you would recommend
Comment from : Ro Jo

Around a week ago I attempted my first oil painting I didn't want anything grandiose, I just wanted some easy clouds I prepared my paints, my oil and turpentine as the art store told me And it was the worst painting experience I've had so far The fumes were awful and working with the paint thinner was horridbrNow I'm intimidated even more by oil painting I decided to buy oil paint I can mix with water instead and water mixing medium in hopes it will be beter Any other advice?
Comment from : Terra Nova

Thanx this helped a lot just got passed down my Grandad’s set
Comment from : Ruby Churm

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!
Comment from : Alvaro FloresTheflores4

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

Comment from : Dimush

Are stand oil and linseed oil the same
Comment from : Sayeenath Patil

Thank you!
Comment from : VNN Video

Can you use flaxseed oil as a medium or does it need to be boiled linseed oil? They are basically the same thing but I am curious if they are actually interchangeable
Comment from : Clay Green

A great explanation, Chris You really understand the problems faced by beginners I’d like to join your Patreon page just wondering if you have any deals for Canadians because of the exchange rate 🤑

Question: how do you clean a glass palette? Is it difficult? I use a paper palette and just throw away the paper when it's full But I can't really pick up all the paint from the paper with my palette knife

Hi Chris, this was helpful Should I prime with gesso my Oil prime linen panel? Thanks
Comment from : Maria Rodriguez

My paintings appear quite bright when they are wet After two days some brightness is lost, and after the painting dries there is a considerable drop in brightness I use linseed oil when I need to spread the paint is there a solution to this problem?
Comment from : madhava thyagaraj

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

Very helpful video! Question, why do you not use palette knives to mix your paint? Im just beginning and nervous about wasting paint and was told I may be able to avoid some of that by being able to control amt of paint more by using a palette knife for mixing Also that it may make my brushes last longer
Comment from : _anniekat

Thanks so much for the advice! :)

Would you please make a video on painting black and white/monochromatic portraits? I have a couple of OLD black and white/sepia pictures from my grandparents that I would love to paint but I don't want to try and colorize them
