This week I tried one with a calm, quiet composition. As I mentioned last week, I am finding that I prefer the sticky properties of the liquid clear over the smooth, blendability of the liquid white. This painting uses a mixture of both. Overall, it was fun to paint.
Fantastic! There's a serene, soft, and almost mysterious sense of lighting here. This looks like a good place to go and meditate at dawn. Once again, great work!
Great work! I look at your work, I think that you are a very meticulous person because it is carefully do to the finest details.
I've tried mixing liquid white and liquid clear a several years ago.
Not all of them have changed color over time.
Maybe if you use a lot of liquid clear, I think it is very possible.
Thank you everyone for the kind words, I appreciate the encouragement!
@Jin7 - I do find that my paintings tend to get quite detailed, though I try to hold back and not let them get too precious. It's a struggle.
Have you ever considered trying to record one of your painting sessions and sharing it on a platform like Youtube? I, for one, would be very interested in watching your method as you paint.
@Dracula I'm sorry I didn't notice your comment. I tried several works, but after about a year, yellow spots appeared on the canvas. I tried to find two of them, but I don't have it at the moment and remember that one was fixed, but discarded another. Also, there were some that did not have any problems, so I think it was a problem with the mixing ratio .
I plan to try this one either tonight or tomorrow when I get home from work. Any suggestion on the mixing of the liquid white and clear for the sky? This will be the first time I have used liquid clear, and I see from everyone's comments on Dracula's (awesome) painting that it's a bit challenging. Dracula: this is absolutely an amazing painting, I love it, and I love your level of detail.
Thanks a lot @doggymommee8301, I appreciate it!
Yes, I think the things to remember when using Liquid Clear are that it is much gooier and stickier than liquid white (which I prefer) and it reacts very violently to paint thinner. I recommend using linseed oil or some other medium to thin you paint when working with Liquid Clear. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
@Dracula thanks for the advice! It was a spectacular fail, and I ended up scraping the whole thing off. I was out of larger canvases, and I think that was the biggest problem. Going to buy some more 18x24s and give it another go next weekend.
That's a masterpiece Dracula! The foreground tree looks so real. From the bark, to the shape and the shadows... sublime!
fantastic, simply love it!! this old tree in the front and the beautiful evergreens ! the whole atmosphere is touching my soul!
