Since you guys were so passionate about paint in the last thread, what watercolor brands have comparable or better pigment content to Qor?I don't know if I can go back after these, but the price in Europe is pretty high.I've tried Winsor and Newton, M. Graham, Sennelier, Daniel Smith, Schmincke, Roman Szmal, White Nights and don't see much of a difference between them, but Qor is noticeably more pigmented
>>7885737I am oil painter, but sometimes i play around with watercolor. I dont get watercolor in tubes, i use pans. White Nights and Schminke are good. Winsor and newtons are not, too hard, too little pigment.>QorNever tried those, so my opinion is basically worthless for you.
>>7885705I love traditional art.
Completed with Holbein oil pastels and framed, also got a huge acquisition for an antique interior oil painting
>>7885756From an art dealer in London, shipped with a second one that’s a sunset landscape impressionist painting
>>7885758>interiornigga, that's a yard, you can see the coach
>>7885756>>7885758You're so cool anon. How did you got in the fine art business?
>>7885756>those prebag handsAI will never be able to compete.
>>7885756>oil pastelsHow do you sell those, don't they stay wet forever?
>>7885791Yeah but who cares, as long as when it ships it is in tact the precariousness of the medium is their problem to solve and not mine. If you break a precious vase is that the vase makers problem for making it so delicate?
Why is nobody ever talking about it, i dried my paintings for years in a complete dark room. Looking back, no wonder some paintings took sooo long to dry.https://justpaint.org/impact-of-light-on-the-drying-of-oil-paints-initial-testing/
>>7885806>WOAH!? THE SUN MAKES THINGS DRY FASTER!????>uhm eckschoolee oil oxidizesnot my problem, nerd
>>7885806the most important thing about how oil paint dries is that added heat doesn't increase drying speed like it would with most fluids. The way oil dries is through oxidization. The best possible situation for oil paint to dry on wood stretched canvas is a dry day in open air with minimal direct light exposure. the air to dry the paint, and the low moisture to prevent warping on the stretcher bars or mold on the canvas, after which most if not all residences, apartments, etc. are already basically equipped to handle art storage with how stale and uncirculated the air is now (thank the lobbyists that got cigarette smoking indoors banned for this). The uncirculated air in most homes now is also a huge reason why chemical fires from art supplies are a non-issue in today's art studios. There's no fresh air, there's no rapid oxidization of flammable substances, there's no fires.
>>7885816>the most important thing about how oil paint dries is that added heat doesn't increase drying speed like it would with most fluidsWell, ekschulii it does. As far as i remember cold temps and very low and very high moisture levels do slow down the drying of oil paint.
>>7885822The thing with oil compared to water is that it doesn't evaporate, right?With heat, water evaporates and thus the paint dries a little faster but with oil it's more a case of solidification that takes place before the paint feels dry.So it's different but with similar results.
>>7886006Heat accelerates chemical processes, haven't you ever noticed how much faster oil paint dries in summer compared to winter?
By the way, i found the best way to save dried up oil brushes so far.I tried regular solvents like sansador, white spirit or turps and the weak, even after days barely anything happens.Ammonia and ultra aggressive brush cleaner from home depot desolves dry paint better, but it completely destroys the brushes as well.Ethanol works the best. Damages the brushes just a little, but cleans all the dry stuff very effective. Not sure why it works, ethanol is not very effective in desolving fresh paint, i tried using it for cleaning brushes after a painting session, it works very bad for it.

>>7886015LA’s Awesome cleaner (yellow stuff from the dollar store) is the sweet spot between weak detergent and paint stripper, dilute to 20-50% and soak after cleaning with solvents (for oil). Only thing that gets freshly dried acrylic, too. Will wreck natural bristles after too long of a soak, doesn’t seem to damage synthetics. Sometimes I use an ultrasonic cleaner from harbor freight for real nasty brushes as well.
>>7886138not him, but I have no idea what you're trying to say either, linear perspective means parallel lines converge, not that trees and bushes form linesyou seem to be conflating perspective and composition, which makes no senseredline it to show what you mean
>>7886328Anon here that made the discussed drawing. There is linear perspective if you look at the trees in the drawing this way . I didnt use a clear VP admittedly but the principle is still damn near the same to communicate perspective since the trees gradually decrease in size, which is a form of perspective in and of itself because the items decrease as they get further away from the viewer
>>7886469nigga, the issue is that the trees and bushes are arranged in lines, it's not perspective that makes them line up, are you genuinely autistic?
>>7886488However it still uses perspective is the point
>>7886499the point of what? nobody denied the existence of perspective or brought your use of it to questionlike what the fuck are you even talking about
>>7886516Alright

I tried out oil painting this weekend in a studio with a life model. It was both a fun and frustrating experience.
>>7886730Cool man, I know what it's like. How long was the pose?
So, I am convinced that planning the correct reflection -rfraction- translucency is a science itself, and, needs to be done effectively. How would refraction be done? I am having hard time doing how shapes are refracted. Also percentage of color in translucency. Basically, a whole composition and it's supposed colors and values, renders, based on realism and it's own materials. What do I do. Or how are things best planned?
I followed a tutorial today. I'll do some more tomorrow

Any of you thought of making your own paint? Does it make sense?Seems incredibly cheap if you want high pigment content and not really complicated or high effort/investment. Is there a reason it's not more common?
>>7889681Some pigments are very hard to mill. Milling in general is very hard, it takes forever.You rather mill a little every time you paint, or you do a larger amount once. By large i mean 20-30ml, which takes forever. At least 1h, realistically more. Toxic pigments are in fact really somewhat dangerous, unlike toxic paint.The quality is alright, but not perfect. If you are a consistency guy, like i am, youre better of with premium paints.It can be fun, but its not very practical for every day use.Well the cost is a factor as well, good pigment isnt really cheap. In the end you will safe at best 50%. It hard to know how much the paint will cost in the end. Pigment is sold by weight. Paint is sold buy volume. Volume of dry pigment is different compared to paint, the volume shrinks. So as i sad, its hard to know how much the pigment really costs compared to paint beforehand.
what advice can you give me if I'm /beg/-tier at drawing and have never painted before but now want to learn to paint?thinking about starting with acrylics, probably gonna pick up a starter set from Michael's
>>7889706>thinking about starting with acrylicsIf you can afford oil, start with oil.
>>7889689>Milling in general is very hard, it takes forever.I've watched a guy on youtube making oil and acrylics and it doesn't seem that bad, something you can do in between shitposting.
>>7889741It depends, some pigments are very hard to impossible. But lets say you take an earth pigment, they are most of the time quite easy.You can just mix the paint with a palette knife, it will be shit.You can mill it for 5-10 minutes, like a small amount, 5ml maybe. And it will be probably okey, depending on pigment, but it will fall apart after 30min or a couple of hours. It work when you use it immediately. Still you need at least 5 pigment for a palette, that will take at least 30 min.But you cant can such low quality mixtures, it will separate. You will have to mill for at least 30min, probably more to be able to store. Even then you will most likly need to use some wax or something else to make the paint stable.I mean do it, its fun, you will learn a lot in the process about paint.Just dont think its a glitch for free paint or something.
>>7889757>some pigments are very hard to impossible to mill
>>7889681It would be incredibly hard and inconsistent. Unless you practice it for years.https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/why-the-recipe-for-an-old-master-might-include-egg-yolk-180981901/
>>7889757what size muller do you use?
>>7889766I use a granite mortar, but i dont put pigment in it, i use the whole thing over a piece of glass. The diameter of the bottom plane is about 13cm
>>7889765Using egg yolk to stiffen the paint, is not that complicated.
>>7889777Aren't the glass and muller supposed to be sandblasted for a fine tooth? From what I'm reading, the pigment is already finer than you can actually grind by hand, you're just breaking up tiny clumps of pigment, kinda sounds like you're making it difficult on yourself with inappropriate tools 2bh
>>7889785Granite is already cross, frosted glass supposed to work better, yes. But you are theory fagging too much for my taste, make some paint, get some experience, then we can talk.
>>7889793>crossLol, not sure what that supposed to mean. I think rough would be a better fitting word.
>>7889793You don't actually have experience with what I'm asking about, though, you're smearing paint around with kitchenware. It's like a finger painter having opinions on brushes. Have some self awareness, buddy.
>>7889793Nigga, you're decrying mulling as very hard to impossible when you literally don't even have a muller then getting butthurt when you're suggested that that might be what's making it difficult for youLike in what world is a tool with a handle specifically designed for mulling comparable to using what is basically a pot?If someone talked about hammering nails being difficult and taking a long time and then explained he doesn't have a hammer and hits them with a pan, you'd call him retarded
>>7889803>you're decrying mulling as very hard to impossibleOh, you're a retard, with comprehension problems. Do the genetic pool a favor and kys.>a tool with a handle specifically designed for mulling Good goyim, just dont use the ergonomic designed handle for your butt.P.S. the amount of retards this thread is pulling on a regular basis, is quite astonishing. Must be the fumes or something.
>>7889837>Milling in general is very hard, it takes forever.>some pigments are very hard to impossible to millBe honest, you're the cramp tard aren't you?
>>7889850Why yes, but ive never had cramps while milling, desu.Many modern pigments are not specifically design to be milled by hand.Natural Pigments do give recommendations for which pigments are suet for hand milling and which not.

There was an illustrator from like the 1800s to the 1930s who made drawings that looked like they were literally in the middle of moving. He would use speed lines on the entire figure. The ones I saw were in black and white. I remember one piece being a guy spinning. Does anyone here know who this guy is???

what kind of paper/sketchpad should I get to learn how to paint?preferably something cheap because I am going to be shit at it
>>7893933Just draw, zoomie, no need to consume first.
>>7893936okay I'll draw in the meantime before I get brushes and whatever but you can't paint on normal printer paper right?
>>7893937Okey, just paint then.
>>7893937get paper that is at least 300 g/m2You'll get the hang of it soon and you will learn what works and what doesn't
>>7893937There's a "canvas-paper" that's cheaper than stretched canvas that has a simmilar texture, and is designed to be painted on.I'll take a picture of it when I get home.
>>7893937assumin you mean oil paint i highly advise painting on gessoed cardboard, just any old piece of cardboard. longevity is not so great but still decades and like you said your paints wont be greatif you mean acrylic paint then i recommend you use a LGBTQ flag as a painting surface cause that shits for faggots
>>7894042But acrylic painting guesso-cardboard is awesome anon, that's how I made this >>7893797I mean it doesn't look like much since I really don't know how to paint, but the surface is plenty paintable for a learner.
>>7894042Acrylic is alright for quick sketches. The drying time is annoying as fuck but everything else is bretty gud.
>>7894042>use a LGBTQ flag as a painting surface cause that shits for faggotsSuch edgy. I wonder what flag maga is painting on?
>>7894049i’m not MAGA. national socialism is way better than that shit>>7894046>>7894048acrylic has multiple downsides discussed at length on trad before, but it may be useful for monochrome underpaintings. acrylic paintings are super gay and bad tho. i’m a much better painter than both of you so take my word for it
>>7894053I will NOT take your word for it.Acrylic is annoying for how it changes hue but it makes up for it by being cheap and you can paint on everything, including in sketchbooks.I am also team oil painting for everything else though. I would NOT recommend acrylic paint to a beginning painter despite all of its advantages.
>>7894053>national socialismYou know only brown people fall for this meme?>i’m a much better painterI'm doubting it, pajeet.
>>7894057oil paint is just superior in all ways, mixing, handling, no color shift when drying, more pigments available (cant find lead white acrylic paint anywhere). no acrylic paint has thixatropic properties its also cheap just use earth tones. or get anjob. my tube of old holland cadmiu red lasts eons cause of how pigmented it is. its almost digusting how rich it is. the bullshit shift when drying is a dealbreaker just on its own. also i noticed female artists gravitate towards acrylic - bad news. anything making femingroids paint more is bad, they are probably painting black lives matter signs. they need to be in the kitchen making me a sandwich or preferably just chucked into a volcano. so yeah acrylic is woman coded. touching it makes you a retard who complains about MAGA on /ic/ apparently. this is a fascist thread you libtard
>>7894064>oil paint is just superior in all waysNot in drying time and being able to used easily in a sketchbook. Also, get your head out of your ass.

>>7894064Nah, acrylics isn't good for sketching eighter.How do you manage the palette? Water color is more compact. Actually I know barely anyone using acrylics in a sketchbook. Actually i know barely anyone painting anything decent with acrylics in general.
>>7894073this is just AI generated.>>7894064Acrylics can be washed out easily, removed easily with water, are almost all non-toxic, and you can easily slow down their dry times with additives.I personally use open acrylics, which might I add, can be touched up the following day when really globbed on like you're supposed to do.What I really dislike about them is you don't get that texture and literal depth on the canvas/ cardboard/ whatever.Everything else about them I like, get em on sale and it lasts forever.Pros and cons, anyone saying that one is better at everything than the other is just wrong.

I will continue to have fun with acrylic paint in my sketchbook and you can't stop me :^)
>>7894218trannygouache is better for sketchbook if you must, thats why james gurney does tons of gouache plein air work
>>7894291>appeal to authoritylow T behaviorforce your own way
>>7894296that’s not even an appeal to authority. if i said gouache is better because james gurney uses it, it would be. paper just really isnt a suitable support for acrylic paint. your sketchbook is going to be lumpy as fuck unless you paint very thinly. you also have to carry more equipment when painting on site compares to gouacheanyway im gonna seize all your freak artwork for the next degenerate art exhibition when the trumpenreich expands globally so who cares anyway
>>7894300I'm not even the sketchbook anon but you really don't need more stuff for acrylics than you need for gouache. Both use water as medium, both need a brush. I hate acrylics as much as the next guy but you use the same amount of equipment for them.
>>7894300>>7894307Also I would even argue that acrylics are suited to most kinds of paper, as acrylics adhere to any kind of surface much easier just because of its plastic binder. For gouache you want paper that is at least suitable for watercolour.

going to wait for this to dry, then glaze in some colour and go in with full colour
>>7895451Not bad, but you need more control over transparency >>7895453I like the bird. But this plan>then glaze in some colour and go in with full colourdoesn't make too much sense. It's a modern American misinterpretation of historical techniques.
>>7895061Cartoony face, value focal point on the sheets, anatomy is pre-bag, left thigh is extremely long, feet and hands are blobs, that's some pre-school shit, brushwork and texture is random, without any intention, color is random. Its a tranime face and tits combined with some random scribles.That's some uintessential leftoid retard-art. Which isn't even true. Several years ago an old fart knocked on my door to sell me little postcards painted by actually disabled people, i gave him some money, now he comes every year and sends me stuff... whatever, the art is quite good, people without arms and with single digit iqs produce art that's much more appealing and on a higher technical level than yours. I will not mention any solutions, though, i don't need another visit from the politruk.
>>7895498Thanks anon, I’m glad you like it so far. Painting is always a daunting undertaking for me. I know the Dutch and Flemish tradition do it differently, but I am following the process of an artist I admire for this so I’m gonna stick with that for this one.

Starter painting with gouache again, after years. I've forgotten how strange it is. It has a very long body, it's very stringy, as well. Feels like the same acrylic, mus be the same stiffener they use in both paints.Is there a short bodied gouache out there?I don't know what it is, in the last 5 or 10 years it started to appear everywhere. Soap, food, cosmetics... they cut the good stuff and put a thickening agent into it, to cover it up.
>>7896745gouache is a fake non-medium, you need to look at the actual composition to know what you're dealing withdextrin gouache behaves nothing like gum arabic gouache, which again will act widely different based on extenders, fillers, opacifier etc
>>7896750>gouache is a fake non-mediumI can see that now, wasn't experienced enough back in the days, to notice.I use mostly Horadam and Holbein. Horadam behaves more like regular watercolor. I have a W&N white, thats very strange. It's like a gel, very unpleasant to work with.
>>7889681for earth pigments in oil just buy the paint.it makes more sense for egg tempera, for historical methods, or for pigments that are not common/stable in tube paint. >>7889757as fresh paint rests, the particles become more efficiently coated in the oil, leaving you with paint that seems more oily than it was at first. you can then add a bit more pigment.
>>7897143>as fresh paint rests, the particles become more efficiently coated in the oil, leaving you with paint that seems more oily than it was at first. you can then add a bit more pigmentThat happens with some pigments. Ultramarine is a good example for that. You mix a paste, let it stand for a couple of hours and its liquid again, so you need to add more pigment.I think its a different effect, though, it gets liquid after a while, but if you mill it again without adding more pigment, it gets stiff again.
>>7897159erbium oxide does the opposite. It seems to harden in the tube quickly.
