Loved this demo

I’ve been using COBRA paints more often

Especially learned from the subtle amounts of paint puddles and bending the color and temperatures

Thanks, Marc, it was great seeing your process from beginning to end. I particularly appreciated your comments on brushes. It’s amazing the difference they can make in a stroke. Lovely painting.

Really loved this demo, thank you! I’m new to oils and learned a lot watching and painting along on a small version straight onto unprimed watercolor paper. Not ideal but it was handy and I learned a ton from you. Thanks!

Thank you so much Marc! I think that paper

and paint would also be great to do portrait studies in life class.

Please keep up your beautiful work.

Once again THANKS for the insight into your working methods. I especially like the use of the palette knives. The camera viewpoint was nice too. It brought me back to when i would watch over the shoulder of one of my mentors along with the conversational feedback. Great job!!

Marc, could you tell me what paper you use to paint with oils. And what ,if any, preparation is necessary for the paper in order to use oil paint.

Your work is beautiful!

Thank you,

I was knocked out over this painting “quiet Zone. Then I saw how big (or tiny )it is and it really blew me away! Thank you so much for the video. I appreciate you so much.

You should get Cobra to put together a set of the colors you use! I love Susan Woolgar too! How do you frame these oils? Thanks for sharing!
