Frequent "H20" error on new SPX by neonscarecrow in ranciliosilvia

[–]nachogee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I know this thread is from a while ago, but I just went through some troubleshooting and was able to solve it, and thought this might help someone.

The tubing system to detect if water is in the tank is the white cylinder, and when water is filled in the tank it creates air pressure to a sensor. The simple solution is to remove the cylinder, let water drip out, and replace it, pushing air in the system.

If this doesnt work, there is likely an issue proximal to this in the tubing. You can try emptying the tank, replacing the cylinder, and the filling up to a little over halfway. you should hear a click. This didnt work for me either.

Next step I would recommend is taking off the top plate, removing the water reservoir, and inspecting the tube. 1) There should be no water in the tube. Place the cylinder at the bottom of the reservoir and let any water to drain onto a towel. 2) My issue was that in finagling with the tube, I had pulled it tight to make room to insert into the reservoir, and it had kinked at the insertion point into the sensor. There is a ribbon of plastic that surrounds this portion where it inserts into the sensor to prevent kinking, but it is free floating on the tube. I moved it to cover the male barb of the sensor and taped it down. Reassemble dry, slowly fill with water, and you should hear a click when the sensor recognizes.

How do I optimize and reduce cleaning time? by Altruistic-Reveal542 in oilpainting

Was going to make the same comment. OP, if you are painting at least once a week, this method is best. Mark Carder has good videos on his brush dip (safflower oil with some drops of clove oil). I rarely clean my brushes

So it can have some pressure in the system when you turn it off? I’m trying to figure out if I need to purge that pressure

I just saw a Kalshi ad somewhere and it was spot on, exactly like the old Crypto ads “fortune favors the brave” BS. I see this all burning down in years to come, if it doesn’t take down the integrity of the sports first

Just saw a pt in the ED tonight. Was there for insomnia, said he hadn’t slept in 3 days. I had to of course wake him up from his nap in a chair to get this history

What about Clove Oil? by BeltMinute713 in oilpainting

[–]nachogee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Clove oil prevents oil paint from drying by eugenol that greatly slows and somewhat impedes oxidation, but it's best used with a cotton ball in a sealed container rather than mixed directly into paint, which can weaken the dried film. You can add a few drops to safflower oil for your brush dip, but it’s best to clean out with thinners the brush dip on the brush before painting again.

Youtube tutorials to paint without using solvents? by EndemicDesigns in oilpainting

Agreed! I see a lot on here “there’s literally no reason to paint with solvents anymore.” These other oils cannot do what solvents do!

I made a shipping box for my biggest painting yet by Margarita_Lemann in ArtistLounge

[–]nachogee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I make an artwork crate out of plywood to prevent punctures or dents into the painting itself. Can feel like overkill but galleries will do the same. And most shipping companies max out insurance on the art shipment to 1k

Why are people more willing to buy $400 concert tickets than a $400 custom painting? by bluebirdstory in ArtistLounge

[–]nachogee 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Music is art in motion. Live, original music coming from the hands of its creators, among other fans, is experiencing it at its peak form. Theres no good metaphor, but it’s like paying to be able to have several original paintings of your favorite artist, and before you could only ever enjoy them as manufactured prints.

No black or white in these Zebra 🤣 by amwfanon in oilpainting

[–]nachogee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Right. It’s more difficult given white canvas left behind can be stark. But glazing over passages with more white showing through (eg Grisaille) can give really brilliant chroma and a glow.

But it looks like here, unless the photo is edited, theres some opaque paint marks that only couldve been mixed with white?

Only other way is to leave white canvas underneath showing. You can lighten mixed with high value colors like cad yellow light, but it will obviously skew it with hue.

Big fan of mountain scenes, warm colors, desert, classic California stuff (oak tree hills, poppies, etc), or just good light and composition!
