Sketching with oil paint π¨
🕑 Added 2023-05-14 18:23:46 +0000 UTCIn todayβs video Iβll walk you through the process of painting a little eye sketch.
Also, Iβd like to share some news!
Iβm possibly hosting another painting retreat because I would love for us to meet each other, explore some wonderful destinations and have some painting sessions in person.
Itβll be perfect for all levels since Iβll be giving everyone individual attention. Just like the last time, thereβll be painting classes every day and the remaining time weβll be enjoying local cuisine, exploring new places, doing all sorts of other activities and having a good time!
If youβre interested, please fill out this quick survey so we could pick a destination.

Hey! Only if they dry with some paint in them. I stopped using solvents a while ago, and I usually wash my brushes with soap and warm water (at the end of the day when the paint is still wet)

Hi Daria, Do you still use solvents or a paint thinner to clean your brushes?
Daria Callie
Hi Devan! Thanks. I stopped using solvents or paint thinners in my painting process a while ago. I just use linseed oil as medium. I dip a brush in it every now and then either before picking up a new color (in case I want to make it a bit more fluid) or before wiping the brush with a paper towel. I like to pre-mix some tones in advance before painting, I donβt add medium to the mixes. Oil paints I use are quite oily and fluid straight from the tube so I donβt need to do that, they have a nice creamy consistency.

Awesome. Are you utilizing linseed oil from the get go or start with thinner or just straight out of the tube here? If so could you elaborate ratio wise? Thanks
