Hello dear friends, today’s video is part 1 of a 2 part series detailing my most recent oil painting. This one focuses on the beginning stages from concept sketch to trace over to a wipe out! I know I normally don't do trace overs or wipeouts (and instead go for sketching the blockin with paint followed by a monochromatic grisaille), but I thought I'd try a new technique for a change just to challenge myself and boy did I run into a few hurdles along the way 😅 But that's the point of learning a new technique I guess!
Thanks so much for watching,
Happy

This sounds like a smart technique, reminds me of that study on how human brains register light on dark easier than dark on light Usually refers to text but may work well for visual art
what are the benefits of a wipeout versus, say, an acrylic underpainting?
Good question, I dont see the point of this wipeout technique. I love using burnt umber or siena underpainting
One reason i heard is acrylic can change the texture of the canvas
@@cherlove404 i prefer painting on wood panels
this sounds like such a fantastic technique ☺☺
To anybody in the comments alight with frustration because they need a quick definition of what this is: in somewhat imprecise terms it’s like a charcoal drawing where you erase the mid tones and highlights but with a sketch transfer brushed over with a layer of thinned umber using solvent as the eraser
Spent 3 years in art school and never once heard about a wipe out technique O_O I even had 7 years of history of arts classes and again never heard of it. Interesting technique for sure, is this common ? moderne ? classical ? I'm just curious, Can't find the alternative in French terms
Looks like your painting is going to be beautiful! And I’m so jealous that you are so committed and dedicated to your work. I can’t seem to find anything that I want to commit to.
You say it was too light, but I honestly liked it at the wipeout stage too! The color is very pretty... Looking forward to seeing how this piece will turn out!
Loved this. It’s gorgeous.
Would love to see an updated life update ✨

Yay first here finally! Please do an acryla gouache painting next.
Do you have solvent on the brush when you're wiping out?
I do not have solvent on my brush actually. I find that solvent makes the wipe out marks way too harsh and messy. Because the tone of the panel is still semi-wet, a dry brush that is frequently cleaned/wiped off on a paper towel is enough :)
This was fun to Watch! Love u 🤍
