I am not attending art classes in school so people like you are my teachers, thank you for the time you spent sharing valuable information

[marilynbarker]

I love your helpful hints! And I’m so happy that you have no distracting music playing. So many videos are ruined with annoying music! Thank you!

[marcyclark]

Thank you so much for the tips and lessons. I recently took up painting in acrylics but can't afford classes. You are very appreciated!

Just a minor word to the wise, technically tempera is made with egg yolk, egg white is used to make glair. A drop of dammar varnish helps preserve tempera mixes on the pallet and the painting. I did a lot of mixed media work with acrylics ~40 years ago I mixed in all sorts of things, and I still have some of the samples. I was a printing ink chemist / painter back then. I can tell you that using a lot of polyol eg glycerine can increase drying time to be unacceptably long and it can migrate via the substrate. PVA glue varies in quality, some I tested tended to go orange around the 2 decade mark. I found that with care you can introduce drying oils into acrylic paint and make it more compatible with oil paint; despite the old artist's rule of 'fat over lean' my oil/acrylic mixes are still looking new and flexible after 40 years! My best tip: A small amount of benzyl alcohol helps really thin acrylic paint flow from the brush to the canvas but don't over do it.

I'm charmed by your modest tone and low-profile introduction to out-of-the-box thinking in artistic painting.

I hv been using glycerine with rose water 50:50 with a few drops of lemon to lighten the skin tone and remove dryness. This is my mother's old recipe.
Amazing that I can use it in acrylic paints too!
Thank you Clive.

8:40, right above your left shoulder (upper corner) several flying light orbs around you!! It was rather amazing to see.

These videos are amazing. Love you and your channel, Clive.

Hi Clive, a very interesting video, thank you. The vegetable glycerine might come in useful for glazes as a traditional egg tempera painter. Egg tempera is made from the pure yolk of an egg that has been diluted with either water or white wine. If using white wine it also serves to preserve the tempera binder. Egg white is not used in the tempera binder at all but can be used as a glaze over the top of a tempera painting or as a base when painting Cyrillic lettering over gold leaf gilding. It helps to stop the tempera on the gold from coalescing into beads which can be very frustrating. Cheers!

Would be nice to know how they perform over time, will they get mold, crack, peel, etc

[salpaloz]

You are brilliant! I have not painted for 20 years and now Im inspired to start again. Thanks for your videos.

[scoutxr]

Clive, thank you. Not only is this fun and useful but I feel more relaxed and ready to work after listening to this. I'll be looking to learn more from you, especially how to lighten up and enjoy myself.

[kellyphillips]

Clive...greetings from Hornbrook California. Thank you so much for inspiring me again. Just loved these awesome tips and as usual laughed and loved your wonderful sense of humor. Had back surgery 6 months ago and can finally paint again without pain. You have kept me inspired through it all. A huge thank you for all you do. Kelly

[reglindiseckhardt]

Clive, I truly enjoy your instruction. This clip is wonderful. What is great is that these products an be used within the same painting.

[michellerobertson]

I've been wanting to experiment with flow improvers. Thank you for sharing these ideas to work with. You're the best!!

[DreambigGabriela]

This demo was so cool. I love the glycerine oil and the egg white, the best.

[rontocknell]

I gave up on acrylic and went back to oils a while ago. The main reason being the rapid drying, which doesn't give much time for blending. But this might be worth trying. Thanks.

[desireeglowa]

Wow wow wow!! I am new to your channel and I absolutely love and appreciate your "tips"! The gesso tip was an eye opener!! I did my first big abstract painting yesterday, and struggled with blending and blending too fast. I painted with white acrylic first, I should have done with gesso. "Good to know". I have been a closet painter/ draw /sketcher because I never took lessons but never thought I was "good enough". So now I don't care, I want to be better for me. Thank you for sharing! I love your channel thank you your one of my faves! ❣❣❣

[nancydjor]

What a strange coincidence! Just today I talked to a professional painter ans he suggested flow improved and there u go and give me cheaper options! Thank you!

[TayshaPalmer]

you are the bee's knees! Great tips and demos and pleasant company to boot. Thanks :-)

[lauriemclean]

This is wonderful information. I had no idea I could use these products this way. I am so thankful I don't have to spend a lot of money buying an expensive product from an art supply store. Thank you so much for sharing this.
