Yes, I do that quite often, actually. But, I also approach many paintings using strictly Oils. It all depends on how much detail I wish to achieve and to simplify the process. Obviously, I can get more refined detail working on a drier background. You need to check out my “barn” Dvd, which is available on my website. It utilizes both Oils and Acrylics.
Do you teach any acrylic based oil painting techniques? Painting the base colors with acrylic, letting it dry, then using oil paint to give depth and value.
hi Mr Wilson, can you please tell me how we can get this magic white in Spain? I have tried to find but maybe here it has another name, thank you
I will be filming some new lessons in the very near future. I already have some subjects in mind, but maybe koi could be another lesson in the future.
Hello, Mr. Wilson
I’m a high school student from Thailand
and I’ve just started learning oil painting … kind of self-studying.
I really love this making cloud tutorial.
It’s very helpful and I’d try to make one too, hopefully.
If it’s possible, would you mind to make a tutorial of how to paint a koi using oil paints please
Oils are a very popular medium because of their “forgiving” nature. They can be corrected very easily. Since they dry so slowly, subtle blending can be achieved. Acrylics dry much faster, so it takes much more experience to get proficient in blending them. These aspects are actually advantages to both mediums, depending on how fast you want them to dry. Personally, I paint quite a bit with Acrylics, too. Please refer to my website for details regarding my instructional Acrylic book.
hi, I want to ask to you, why almost the artists do their paintings with oil and not with acrylic, what kind of possibilities it can do in more? thanks I hope to became an artist like you! 
I love your art!
I’m glad it was helpful to you. Hang with it. You’ll find that your skill will improve with practice.
try again…I don’t think my comment posted. I found this video very helpful. As a beginner I liked to see your technique with your sweeping, quick movement to get the color on the canvas. Your commentary is very professional, too.
Well, that is one of the nicest aspects of art, everyone sees things differently. Yes, I could have forgone the final white highlight if I was looking for a more silhouetted interplay of the sky and clouds. But, in the interest of the lesson, I was more intent with showing HOW to develop the clouds rather than express any certain time of day. It’s ultimately up to the individual to decide what mood they wish to convey.
May I mistake, but till the white color (8:26 on the time line), was clear for me to fix the moment during a day: nearby the dawn.
Then you add the white color and the picture loose the syncro between time and color, cause, I think, the white light on the top of the cloud doesn’t match the atmosphere of the general view. Try to replay the video and pause it at 8:26, then thn slide the photograms. Find the rotatin of the light point. I think that at 8:26 the picture was already perfect.
Hi,
The only place you can find Alexander Magic White is either through an Alexander Certified Instructor (one who sells product) or directly through Alexander Art. You can go through their website or simply call 1 (800) 896-4630.
They no longer market through retail stores. The Slo-Dri Blending Medium you mentioned definitely sounds like it’s an Acrylic medium and not what you want for this. In a pinch, you can take some paint thinner and thin down regular tubed White oil paint and use that.
Wison, Tracy here. Thanks for your prompt response on the Sunset Cd! I have looked everywhere for the Magic White. (AC Moore, Michaels Crafts, & cant seem to find it! I did however buy a Liquitex slo dri blending medium. Will this do the same trick if I apply it like you did with the Alexander stuff? I am looking forward to the April release you have mentioned! I think you are the Rebirth to Bob Ross, and enjoy your videos. Cant wait to share my stuff with you soon. All my best, Tracy
I’m not sure what you mean by a “DHMW Paint holder”. If you’re referring to the particular “palette” that I’m using, it’s a white plastic one which is manufactured by Utrecht.
“Magic white” o tambien conosido como “liquid white” es una base para mesclar mejor las diferentes capas de pintura cuando estas pintantdo con base de aceite. es como un secreto que te alluda ha mesclar los colores mucho mejor. Suerte
From what I can gather, I assume you’re inquiring about what Magic White is and where you can find it. It is an oil base coat which allows subtle blending on the canvas. You can purchase through the Alexander Art website. Google “search” Alexander Art.
Impresionante!!!……
Lamento no hablar ingles me hubiera encantado poder entender todo lo que dices….
¿que es “magic white”? ¿para que sirve “magic white”?…..
Gracias
thanks for the lovely lesson !
anyone who would like to take up oil painting may also find the book “Oil Painting for Dummies” useful. it teaches what you need to know about oil paints, solvents, and pigments; brushes, palettes, and painting surfaces; and how to keep costs down at the art supply store

When I mentioned “tubed” White, I simply was referring to paint that comes in a tube, versus the White “medium” that comes in a jar or can.
You’re welcome. I’m happy that my lessons were helpful to you.
Well, you’ll improve if you practice and the better you become, the more people that will be interested in your work. I firmly believe that anyone can be good at art, but it just takes practice.

How is it that just anybody can write a blog and get as popular as this? Its not like youve said anything incredibly impressive –more like youve painted a pretty picture over an issue that you know nothing about! I dont want to sound mean, here. But do you really think that you can get away with adding some pretty pictures and not really say anything?

So much so that you made me want to learn more about it. Your blog is my stepping stone, my friend. realy thank you for the heads up on this subject.
What did you do, just say whatever it is you wanted to make people mad?! You cant just say something like that and not give any backup for it! Youve got to at least give me a reason to suppose that you know what youre talking about, otherwise, you just sound like some kid with a grudge!

For instance, while you’ll target for “art dealer” in your blogging and article marketing efforts but that may have you competing with several other internet pages a ton of traffic, but the odds that you may be on google page one for that keyword are slim and none. A far better plan is to amass an inventory of your high one hundred long tail keywords. Begin a blog and article selling campaign armed with the keywords that can get you seen on those google pages quickly is infectious you’ll see the power in it and then you may intensify your content writing whether you are doing the writing or handing off that list of your best keywords to a blogging and article writer. Blogging and article writing also can’t be tame it completely cannot sound “outsourced” like thus abundant of it does your blogging and article writing desires to passionately pull individuals to your resource box and compel them to learn more about you.
I’m impressed, I have to say. Really rarely do I discover a blog that is both educational and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head.

I appreciate you for posting such a wonderful website. Your weblog was not only informative but also very inventive too. We find very few bloggers who can create technical articles that creatively. I keep looking for information regarding something like this. We ourselves have gone through many websites to build up on information regarding this.I will keep coming back !!

I can’t believe the e-cigarette exists, I am still completely thrilled about it. Especially that it is the only thing to help me quit smoking cigarettes and begin an all around healthier life style. I am 23, I had smoked for TEN years when I started the e-cigs. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to switch to these. Hopefully more smokers will know this IS an option.
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I suppose that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is great site. A great read. Ill definitely be back.
