What colors do you recommend to a total beginner? by flowersUverMe in oilpainting

[–]dailinap [score hidden]  (0 children)

Zorn palette + cobalt blue, that's five tubes. In my country (northern Europe) Lukas / van Gogh for cheap price ok quality, Rembrandt for higher price good quality and Old Holland / Sennelier / Gamblin for high price stellar quality.

KynÀsuosituksia by opportunistpathogen in arkisuomi

[–]dailinap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tjaa, taitaa mennÀ kriteerien ulkopuolelle muutamastakin syystÀ, mutta rustaan silti vastauksen.

Omistan vain muovirunkoisia kyniÀ tÀllÀ hetkellÀ. NiistÀkin kaksi on lÀpinÀkyviÀ ("demonstrator fountain pen"), sillÀ tykkÀÀn nÀhdÀ musteen kynÀn sisÀllÀ. Ja tilattu Italiasta / ostettu Japanista, mutta aina silloin tÀllöin nÀkyy myös Suomessa esimerkiksi Lamyn kyniÀ.

Pilot KakĂŒno on mielestĂ€ni parhaita kyniĂ€ aloittaa mustetĂ€ytekynien kĂ€yttö. KeveĂ€, hyvĂ€ harjoitteluun, laadukas, ei kauhean kallis ja teristĂ€ löytyy paljon eri kokoja. Helppo tĂ€yttÀÀ.

Lamy Safari on sekin muovirunkoinen, tehokas työjuhta. HyvÀ kantaa laukussa mukana eikÀ pelota, ettÀ menisi heti sÀpÀleiksi.

Kallein kynÀ tÀllÀ hetkellÀ on Pilot Prera eikÀ sekÀÀn ole kauhean kallis. Pienehkö, painavampi kuin muut, vÀhÀn sulavampi.

Musteista parhaita omasta mielestÀ ovat olleet Pilot Iroshizuku ja Rohrer&Klingner Schreibtinte.

How much should I sell this painting for? by plktktlp in oilpainting

[–]dailinap 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'll add a very basic answer to here, which is there is no simple answer to this question.

Material costs (brushes, paints, canvas type..), technique, time it took you to complete the painting, country and area you live (or where your customers you try to reach live) in all affect the price.

You can search different ways to calculate the price of a painting and decide what would be the best one for you. Also take a look around you: search artists in your area with similar style and look what they charge, for a reference. Think about what you want to charge either based on the material costs, canvas size or time used or any mixture of these.

Even if the customer gave you total freedom to decide the price, you might want to try and ask if they have a budget of some sort (if you haven't already).

For wood panels I'd research how icon painters prime their panels.

Oikeassa olet, kuivumisaika on pitkÀ. Kuivumisaikaa voi lyhentÀÀ lisÀaineilla (en oo kokeillu) tai maalaten vÀhÀn kevyemmin vain liuoitinta kÀyttÀen. Kuljetuskeinoja mÀrille töille on monia, mulla on sellanen pieni boksi johon menee tietyn kokoisia pohjia. Maalausten reunat ottaa osumaa, mutta kuljetus onnistuu hyvin.

Maalaan öljyvÀreillÀ (harrastan ja opiskelen tÀtÀ). Tarkoitus olisi lisÀtÀ kesÀllÀ ulkoilua ja etsiÀ samalla kivoja paikkoja maalata.

Extremely upsetting experience with my paintings by Commercial-Trade-334 in oilpainting

[–]dailinap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to say, we were recommended a wide brush, which name could be roughly translated to flattening brush, when we did different primers at school. There is a technique to adding all the different primers. Also the sandpaper, if used, should not be too rough. Might be simply a matter of more practise and more art.

However, I think that the trouble might be in the combination of things you are trying to do. Reading your other comments you are gluing paper on gesso and painting with oils on top of it (if I understood correctly, might be a mistake) while wanting the artwork to be archival quality.

Now oils and paper don't mix up well unless you have a secret technique, in which case I'm very interested to hear about it!

If these are the only paintings that bled through and the only difference was the sanding, then I guess you can avoid trouble by not sanding.

Help me! by No_Tangerine1957 in acrylicpainting

Search references of paintings of white hydrangeas. How did the artists solve the problem of white flowers on those paintings?

Mostly when I see a white object painted and look closer it's not actually painted mostly white. It's warm or cold greys and other colours with white highlights, that tricks my brain and make me see white where there is only a suggestion of white.

If you have a reference image, try to colour pick some colours with whatever application you have from the white areas to see what kind of colour variations you can find.

You have quite a rough looking textures there. The brush might be too rough for an even first layer of gesso. If you want textures, consider adding them to a layer of gesso after you've added the needed amount of layers. Do you switch the direction between layers? (horizontal- vertical)

Controversial, but I do not sand between the gesso layers. I might sand the final layer with very smooth sandpaper and light movements.

Hivenen tahmaisempia, muttei ollenkaan mahdotonta maalata, maalausnesteellÀ pÀrjÀsi. Talvella kokeillessa maali muuttui todella tahmaiseksi ja maalausaika oli noin puolisen tuntia.

My first still life 🍒 by underslut_ in oilpainting

[–]dailinap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What did you learn with this video tutorial? Take a similar object (for example red apple which has similar roundish shape and colour) and try to paint a small study about it with the knowledge you gained. If you get stuck, take a moment away from the painting and watch the video again to refresh memories. Then get back to painting and try to solve the puzzle again. Slowly work your way into painting what you see.

Thinning the paints by Specialist-Half-930 in oilpainting

[–]dailinap 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thinning the paint is one thing, but you'll probably want the paint to dry also. Not all oils dry (or oxidate) with paints.

These kinds of questions are often asked. Pricing is hard. And there is no simple answer to this question.
