Painting With Oil Paints Tutorial part 2

Okay here we go part two. Welcome back. I'm going to start by just making the hand a little bit bigger. I think the hand is just a little bit on the small side for me. So I'm going to make that slightly bigger. Let me clean my brush. I still have my same palette. Some of the colours may be gone a little hard but I can soften them as I need them. Okay let me just take some Burnt Umber. I'll take some Burnt Umber. A tiny tiny amount of black and I'm going to start. I just want to make the hand it just seems a little bit on the small side for me. So I'm going to bring it down a little bit further here and then up like that. Okay you know trying to get the proportions just right is very very tricky I think and one thing I'm not good at doing is hands and faces and all that kind of thing. So let me just get it in kind of just very very loosely. Okay just very loosely and I might bring it across here a little bit just to thicken his arm just so ever so slightly. Okay that's all. I may need to make it slightly longer as well. His hand that is. I think it's just a little bit on the small side so let me just extend his fingers a little. Okay just a little. I think that will help with the painting. Let me get some more Burnt Umber here and it's always kind of tricky trying to get back into a scene that you're halfway through especially when you've left it for a while. You know it can be tricky to get back into the groove as they say. Now let me just darken with my brush. I'm going to darken down here like this just slightly. Now this is a very thin wash that I'm putting on just over some of his arm here. Okay just to darken it just a little bit and then I want to soften it up. Okay there we go. I'm gonna take a good look at that now. That's nice. I like that. Okay next I'm going to move on to a little bit of a sheen there. That's just from the light from a window somewhere coming across and catching the canvas. Yeah that's okay. Next let me just make sure this thing is recording here because I'm afraid of my life that something goes wrong with this video. I'd be very cross if something does. I want to round the top of his head ever so slightly okay. Someone did suggest that perhaps the angle of the head was slightly off and I agree. I think it is so I'm going to just round the top of his head ever so slightly okay. I'm going to use my stick now for this and I'm using a small brush which I shouldn't be. I should be using a flat brush really. It does more control with a big flat brush. I think that's a little better. Let me take a look. It's just a little bit more round. I think that's a little bit better and also the angle of his chin is a little off. I can see that so I might just bring it down a little bit more there. It should be a bit higher but look I think I'll leave it because I don't want to spoil my painting okay. Next I'm going to move on to let me put this stick away out of the way. Very handy little sticks those and I'm going to move on to the t-shirt here. Now you can't I can see that on the photograph you can see less of this t-shirt. It's just the way the drawing kind of worked out so I'm just going to go with it. I'm going to make a very very bright yellow I think. Let me just try this out and see what happens. I might put a hint of like a blue or something into this. Let me take a tiny tiny hint of phthalo blue okay. Tiniest tiniest little hint and then I'm going to take some naples yellow and that will thicken it up. You see that's a nice luminous colour now isn't it and it's very very translucent which means the canvas is showing through. I want to thicken it slightly just another little bit more. It's still a little bit on the bright side. I'll go over this right down and it gets really dark then doesn't it. So let's see now what colours can we use for this. I'm going to try some burnt sienna with some yellow first okay. I'm going to use that just to darken this yellow down first as it goes down into the shadows. When using yellows like this you need to be very very careful. Then I'm going to go to some black. Now black mixing that with the yellow will go green okay but that's okay because we're going right down into a very dark shadowy colour. It doesn't really matter as long as we end up with a nice rich dark colour at the bottom. Burnt umber and black look and this is almost going to disappear into that dark dark background all right. Let me get some more of that over here. You know I'm keeping all of this section here very very loose. You know the focus is on really the tap in the water so all of this really can just be um blended kind of into the background really as such if you know what I mean. You see so we're getting very dark down there. Let's bring it up soft and pick up some of the green as you're going and go up here into that darker colour because it's getting slightly lighter as it goes up isn't it. Then go right up here by the arm. Now I want the green slightly later behind the arm so you can see the arm then okay. You can see the outline of the arm the elbow rather. So I just want that slightly later not very very dark. Then as it comes up look I'm going to go slightly into it up there like so. Now the next thing I'm going to do is I'm going to soften this kind of just gently to get some of those brush strokes out look. Just soften it right down and you can even soften it into the dark down here as well look. So now it just disappears doesn't it pretty much almost but you know you kind of get the idea. Now let me just stand back and have a quick quick look at this. There you see that's not bad now is it. Now let's take a small pointy brush and let's just add a few little details here and there on this. I'm going to take some of that dark black okay that very very blacky colour perhaps even a hint of crimson and I'm going to just suggest some kind of designs is that what they call it it's just a design on the t-shirt you know what I mean. Just to kind of look a little couple of dots here and there then I'm going to take some of that black and go around here like so and I'm going to go up here and I'm going to put a little piece of it like that so you can kind of get the idea now it's just suggesting little bits here and there. I'm not trying to be absolutely perfect with all of this. Put a couple of little dots around here and there it's just to suggest that there's these little things going on let's put a little piece just down here into the darkness look like that then I'm going to suggest a little bit of light catching down here tiny tiny suggestion of some light a little bit there little bit on the back up there I'll darken it down just slightly look so that sunlight may be just catching it ever so slightly and soften it in with my finger so there that's not bad now is it I'm happy enough with that I'll go with that I'm going to lighten some of his fingers again just a little I'll use a little of the crimson with some naples yellow um I just the hint of cadmium yellow as well I just want to lighten again just here and there okay you see just a hint that's all that's probably even too much but it's fine look we'll just soften them back in now okay let's move on and do our tap I really want to get this tap done I'm going to move to a slightly larger round brush okay and with the tap um I'm going to keep it just simple in that I'm just going to paint all of the tap one color and then start adding lights and darks to that I'm going to go with a burnt umber okay so let's take loads of burnt umber here now loads of this plenty of turpentine in this and this is almost dry this is pretty much dry you see so that's why I wanted to leave it a day or two so I could do this properly I'm going to go up and start putting in the tap and I'm going to start by doing it very loosely with burnt umber a wet wash of burnt umber look even a hint of black a tiny tiny hint of black go right along fill all this in and what I tend to do when doing things like this is I paint the entire thing in one go and then I start putting in the little joints where they meet do you know what I mean that's how I tend to paint stuff like this if it's pipes and all that kind of stuff I like to just put everything in and as it comes down it's going to disappear completely into the black so I'm going to go with just black on its own and soften it down with your finger now you probably can still see some of that I'm just going to soften the base just kind of up and down up and down there we go look that's not too bad now is it I like that that's pretty good now next I'm going to move to a slightly smaller brush my not my very small tiny brush but the next size down I'm going to take some burnt umber and I'm going to just start getting some of these in now I don't want to use very thin paint on this okay because the problem is if you use very very thin paint it's very difficult to get another layer to stick on top because it's just very very watery does that make sense so I'm using almost thick paint on its own because this is already wet remember so I'm going to put thick paint then over that let's just get lots of burnt umber on its own and there's one around here now again you don't need to be perfect with this this is just a suggestion remember remember just a suggestion and put another one next to it here okay there's another one around here like so I'm just going along now doing this all the way around like that so you can see now the idea you can kind of see what I'm doing I'm going to get some brown with some black for the top up here put that in and let's just go like that okay then I'm going to start getting some black okay a little thinner than this some black and I'm just going to start darkening some areas where it might be catching the shadow so for instance um around the top of this here and there underneath that little bit on the sides of those and then the next job is to start adding some lights into this and for the light I'm going to take some burnt sienna we'll go for a nice warm color burnt sienna and a hint of naples yellow okay now I'll try that first let me get my stick I need my stick here and you know what I'm going to do I'm going to take a sip of coffee let me stand back and take a look at this it's not bad it's not bad I'll tell you that no it's not bad let me get my stick and my my squeaky chair I have to oil these these casters this cast was on my chair getting really squeaky right let's go and some light on these okay just like that and would you like me to zoom in let me see if I can zoom in I don't know if I can zoom in with this camera ah I can apparently I can zoom in as it's recording fantastic technology right let me take some more a hint more naples yellow in this and I'm just going to suggest a few lights here and there I'm actually going to take a little bit of cadmium yellow as well okay a little tiny touch of cadmium yellow as well and I'm just putting in on one side of some of these a little bit of light the piece coming down here I'm going to soften that one in to the dark around it and I'm cleaning the tip of my brush each time I do this okay um I'm going to put a hint there and let's just a little line across there I'm going to put a hint there and coming down the tap stock just there I'm going to put a hint across the top of this and soften it downwards in underneath there look little hint of it there so a painting like this especially when doing a tap and stuff like that it's basically it's a lot of lights and darks that's what I can take from it lots of lights and lots of darks and they really kind of help each other out now down this side I'm going to put some light there okay just for the sun it's coming along and catching that pipe and then put a bit of warmer color as it comes in look just like so and we don't need to do too much work on this all right believe it or not we really don't um I'm going to take some black and I'm going to just put a hint to black just here and there okay I think that's fine I think I might just leave it at that in fact what I will do look is I'm going to just widen this I think that would look a bit better and we're moving on to the water now the water is the tricky one that's very tricky I'm going to move to a smaller brush okay let me see if you can see this nice and close um you can I suppose it's not too bad will I zoom in once more is that better okay I'm going to take some uh I think I'm gonna mix a nice pink I think first a very bright whitish pink I'm taking a tiny bit of crimson and lots and lots of white and a little hint of naples yellow as well okay because the water in this if you see it up close it's actually like a very light pink I don't know if you can see that or not it's a very light pink so I'm going to put a bit there okay uh let me see now I'm going to put just a lot of wiggles coming down first okay bear with me let me get some more um pink I'm going to make a nice warm colour for this some crimson cadmium yellow okay I'm making a very rich orange for this okay then I'll go back to my lighter colour and that colour then is going to come off of the hand I'm basically now what I'm doing is I'm kind of following the outline of the water that's all okay I just want to get the outline done first once that's done then we can kind of concentrate on the lights and darks and all that kind of thing now I'll move to a bigger brush um I think I'll move to a slightly bigger one round brush I'll take some white and I'll take a hint of crimson again I'll take a hint of cadmium yellow tiny tiny hint of it tiniest little hint okay the tiniest little hint it's more pink than anything else really and I'm going to go along here and just put that in like that okay and I'm just kind of focusing loosely on this water is tricky enough paint I can tell you because water is very um unorganized okay water will go wherever it wants to go and it's very unorganized so it's tricky to paint something that's very unorganized very tricky and it goes right in here you know I'm not copying this exactly but I want to really give that nice impression do you know what I mean um okay there's another piece comes off here like that and it just falls down okay how's this coming on so far yeah I know it looks very bright now at the moment but I'm gonna darken it down you see okay I'm just kind of getting some of these um finer kind of highlights done really bright ones and it comes along here and it's sort of dripping from his hand so a couple of like that and we'll have one or two kind of stray ones over here as well just have a bit of fun with it that's what I say down like that okay I'm going to mix a warm color I'm going to take some crimson with some cadmium yellow and I'm focusing more on the pink side of the color okay so a very warm kind of a color very warm pink and there's that sunlit color kind of popping through there's an orange I'm going to make it more orange you take some more cadmium yellow a little crimson and that's a much nicer color now I'm going for this lovely rich kind of a pinky orange okay and I'm going to mix that color then here and there in the water so you can see where it sort of pops in and out of the water here and there you see a lot of that color going on up here and I can see little dabs of it here and there in some of that now I'm going to go to my small pointy brush next and I'm going to get some real dark dark dark colors all right I'm going to go for I'm thinking black and crimson so it's not pure black there's a kind of a pinky undertone to this color let me try see what I mean it's a very very dark pinky undertone and I'm just kind of pulling little flicks of this color here and there it's very as I said you know it's very difficult to paint water because it's it's reflecting the dark and the brights so it's a tricky enough subject to paint actually you can just use pure white on its own if you wanted that would work as well okay let's keep going let's just tip away now with this and put a couple of blacks on some of these bright ones down here and then I'm going to move to my palette knife okay I'm going to go to my palette knife in just a moment I'm going to put a nice dark under here like that okay and actually what I will do as I'm here I'm going to take some very bright color I'm going to get some white on my brush and I'm going to just go in there and just here and there put little touches of bright just here and there and redefine some of these ones here okay we have a very bright one here and a very bright one around here so you can see I'm just kind of literally putting on lots of thick white paint with the tip of my very pointy brush I put a couple down around here look just one or two and I'll put a few in around very like that I don't think I even need my palette knife to be quite honest and I'll put a few um one or two real bright ones under here like that and up here put perhaps one or two just little marks that's all they are really it's just kind little marks and I put a tiny amount as if sort of running down his arm you see just a tiny tiny amount now I need to straighten this slightly it's kind of going on a side angle you know water supposed to fall vertical isn't it so I'll just widen it slightly like that I won't go too wide because it'll spoil it um go down here perhaps just lighten some of that make it kind of slightly thicker and I think I'm going to leave it I don't want to kind of overdo this now I want to I don't want to go crazy I'd be afraid in case I spoil it so let me let me just stand back and take a good look at this it's not too bad now is it I like that water drop under the tap that's quite nice it's difficult enough to paint all of these this water it's it's something that you'd really want to be taking a lot of time to do um it's just that type of a subject you really want to take your time on something like this let me get a little bit of that warm color and just put it there and perhaps one or two dabs of it there uh go right down with some of these and I think I think I'll leave as it is let me just take a get some more of that pink color with the orange so a pinky orange again I'm just going to go in here and cover some of that dark with the pinky orange okay and my friends I think we'll leave it at that let me take some color and sign the end of this and let me zoom back let me just zoom back down first with my camera it's not bad is it like I'm down here on the sign it look S Conway and I'm going to make a frame for this because I'm very very happy with this I am really really happy how this turned out uh let me see now as well so I can just change a few little things I'm going to take some black and I'm going to go up and just add a little shadow just here and there to some of those okay uh let me see where else let me see let me see take a little bit of the orange pop a little touch of as if it's reflecting the light from the sun do you know what I mean okay just like that um maybe a little bit more up there okay not bad and I think I think we're done I you know I don't see anything else that we can improve on let me just take some of the black and some of the brown and let me just bring this arm just out ever so slightly like so okay and I'm going to call it finished my friends I am very very happy with this I think it's been a huge success nearly had an accident there huh how about that there we go a huge huge success I'm going to put a hint of that light pinky color just up here okay and maybe a tiny hint of white there and a little there as if it's kind of coming down and the tap is leaking okay there how about that and we are done my friends finished let me zoom in and show you what we have created isn't that wonderful a nice simple but effective painting and there we are I'm going to take a sip of coffee to celebrate I'm very very happy with that let me turn the camera now so you can see myself oh there did you enjoy that thank you so much for watching I'm very happy with that I think it's I just tried to keep it simple I didn't overwork the water because it's very easy to overwork something like that and you'll end up having it on half of your painting it can go everywhere so trying I think less is more sometimes if you're worried about painting water like that you could just use white on its own just white little dabs of white you don't have to go to the extent of putting little shadows in and stuff like that but I just thought the shadow would kind of help show the water a little bit better but you could just use like a very light pink on its own as well if you wanted okay so yeah I'm very happy with that thank you so much for watching I'll be back next week with another tutorial and um I am I don't know I might do a nice sunset I'm thinking sunset so I won't be long uh do subscribe if you haven't done so already thank you again so much to my patrons for all your support means a huge amount to me and um god bless you all happy happy painting and I'll see you next week
