Standard Edition: Portrait Painting, Part 3, Sasha
Added 2019-12-02 16:08:00 +0000 UTCIn this video I have taken all of the portions of the tutorial where I am only painting, not talking, and sped them up 5500x. This means that the entire video is about 30 minutes rather than 3 hours. In this way I hope to make the information in these tutorials more accessible.
This is the third of three parts and it goes through my use of oil paint to make this painting. My palette here is ivory black, alizarin crimson, vermillion, yellow-brown, and flake white and a medium of linseed oil.

This is what I do with one thing added. After washing dry them with a. bit of paper towel. Then... spit into your palm and swirl the brush in that (I know, gross). That proceed to shape the bristles to the desired shape and let it dry. This will help the brushes keep their shape.

I've been using linseed oil followed by brush soap/water so as to not leave linseed oil drying in the brush, but I feel like my brushes lose their shape/splay very quickly. I'm just curious how you'd approach cleaning them if you don't intend to use them the following day. Thanks so much!
