Oiling out with the Galkyd/Gamsol mixture as instructed worked well. Thanks. I ended up applying a 2nd oiling out coat a few days after the first because I had some darker colors were not appearing as saturated as others. Looks great now. However, after 6 days the surface is still tacky. Should it take that long to dry? I'm concerned.
ОтветитьThat’s a lot of solvent, maybe too much
ОтветитьI used cheese cloth as demonstrated, but natural canvas texture shredded the cloth and left lint embedded in the oil! I would recommend another type of cloth.
ОтветитьThose ears!
ОтветитьI need a little more detail. I'm almost finished with a beautiful painting and never had this issue of shiny spots and very dull spots. I use refined linseed oil as a medium. My paintings have always dried to an even, satin type finish. So I'm stumped . I think some paints now come out of the tube very full bodied and dry while other oil paints are too oily and you get that glob of oil spilling out before you get to the paint. I'm afraid to complete the painting and then oil out bc I don't want to ruin it. I have Gamblin refined oil and Gamsol. can I use a 50/50 mixture over the dry painting to even the surface? help!
ОтветитьShould I still oil out with galkyd if I didn't use a galkyd medium in the painting?
ОтветитьGood Morning
I am using Windsor Newton Artist Painting Medium for for oiling out & enriching dull patches in my paintings which are rich with chromatic blacks. However when the medium has dried over time it seems as if the patches return and also when i try to varnish the paintings the varnish beads and rolls off. this has become a real conundrum and I need advice. I was using Gamvarl as a varnish. Does the WN medium prevent the varnish from "taking" to the surface? if so what do you recommend I do?
Hello , this apply for textured surfaces too?...
Ответитьyour videos are very helpful, my quation is, i used a sprey retouch varnish on my canvas, the resultant is not so good, can I use your technisch now by using linseed oil on the same canvas,,, I mean 2 time different technisch on same canvas, thank you
ОтветитьCan Galkyd Lite be used in place of the regular Galkyd? After watching your video, I was so excited to try this but somehow I ordered Galkyd Lite. I love the idea of this process. As you said, it's so much better than using a re-touch varnish. I know this is an older video but it's new to me. so I really hope you can still answer my question. Thanks!
ОтветитьWhat's in galkyd and gamsol?. I don't use Gamblin paints or mediums but I am trying everything I can find to restore sunken black port parts of my painting without having to redo everything. Rubbing linseed oil with cheesecloth helped some but didn't solve the problem enough. I have mineral spirits and turpentine, and many many oils including walnut, clove, refined linseeds etc. etc. what should I use? Would a one to one mix of Terp and linseed work?
ОтветитьWorks well for watercolors too
ОтветитьHi Scott, I sent a message on the website but I will post it here too just in case.
What should I do with cheesecloth after using it? Do I have to throw it away or is there a way of cleaning it?
Another question, would it make sense to use a large cheesecloth as a painting cover while is drying out to protect it from dust?
I love using this technique. I want to know if it can be used to a painting that wasn't made with galkyd. Like if my only medium was stand oil, can I still use this method with galkyd to even the surface? Can't seem to find anything on the forums
ОтветитьWhat was the medium?
Ответитьgah! My cloth had dust on it! Toh!
ОтветитьIs there an oiling out process for acrylic paintings? If so what is it?
ОтветитьI've tried this on my latest painting. Just one layer so far. It looks a lot better but the painted surface is still slightly uneven. I want to add a second layer so I'm going to wait 24-48 hours minimum before a I do that. Is that going to be ok?
ОтветитьThank you for the demo- I tried it out as shown, and it worked perfectly. Great technique, clear instruction. Thanks again.
ОтветитьThe explanation is good, the presentation is concise, the demonstration is fine, but the videography does not do this subject justice.
The gentleman went to the trouble to paint two paintings (very nice ones!) but the lighting and camera work does not capture the "before & after" effect at all.
I see little (if any) difference on camera even though I am am familiar with this process in practice. There were no close ups to show surface-sheen variations before, nor can we see the beautiful effect of a homogenous "oiled-out" surface.
Great Demo Scott. Thanks!
ОтветитьWell done video!
ОтветитьVery helpful! Thanks!
