Quick Tip 222 - Oiling Out

A subscriber's question about bringing back the vibrancy of a painting using the oiling in (oiling out) method caught art teacher/artist Dianne Mize's attention.

Excellent Quick Tip! You once again solved a significant problem I have had. Now a few of my older pieces may have new life! Many thanks!

Thank you for all your informative videos. I have painted with watercolors for many years and only recently started painting with oils. Your videos are giving me the instruction I need to do it right. Please don't stop doing your videos!

Thank you Dianne! I can always count on you to explain art issues completely and understandably!

This Quick Tip was like an "Aha moment" for me! I never had any formal training when I was using oils, and always wondered why there were shiny spots on some parts of the painting. Now I know! I assumed it was a characteristic of the paint itself, that some colors were shinier than others! LOL! Thank you for your excellent information! Wishing you, and all the viewers, a happy day!

Dianne this was a wonderfully informative video. Thank you! New to oils, I used far too much solvent. However, you gave me the confidence and skills to restore the sheen on my artwork and I can now confidently varnish in a couple of months without the fear of a patchy final work. A delight to watch and hear a teacher with obviously many years of experience behind her.

The beauty of your videos is....I need the instruction yet did not know what I needed. Thank you ma’am. 🧑‍🎨

This was exactly the help I needed. Thank you for explaining and demonstrating this method of oiling out with pure linseed oil🙂🙂

[ANAHATAJADE]

Most of my paint in tubes that I purchased from Michaels were not at the proper consistency for painting. I had to add a little linseed oil to get it just right. Also I did layers upon layers, wet on dry. Auhhh, when I added the varnish I can definitely see the inconsistency in the varnish on the painting. I am happy with the finished painting but was not happy with how the varnish seemed to have ruined my painting. Thank you for that great advise.

I must've watch hundreds of various tutorials over the years. Invariably, your are the best! You explain perfectly- you answer questions that are in my head that weren't even asked of you yet, like drying time of the oil. You are my main source of information now and I thank you so much. I'm working on a commissioned piece and so much of the blue where I added black to it sunk in badly, while the straight ultramarine blue with a dash of oil looks too oily. So I really need to fix this. Thank you so very much!
