Thank you so much this is the video I’ve been searching for. I walked into the craft store yesterday was so overwhelmed I left without buying anything because I didn’t know where to start.

[MrNyuntshwe]

I have bought some paints, brushes, and canvases and I think those items were what I need to start oil painting!!! What a fool I was then, but now I know I have to buy a few essential items to fulfil my childhood dream of painting by my hand. Thank you very much for your lucid tutorial!!

The style of this video, the manner of presentation, the quality of the shooting (angle, light, camera stability, pace) no blah-blah, the complete absence of narcissism that most of the authors of such videos suffer from (especially men), all this is a model that should have been followed by other tutors. I went to the link and looked at the pictures. Liked. Highly. Good luck Halie!

I like how much attention you put into making sure that the things you use are cheap but work well. You don't waste money and material needlessly. Every part you presented in your video from the materials and tools you use contains CHEAPER, TIME SAVING, MATERIAL SAVING and of course SAFETY when talking about toxic materials. Of course, there are expensive and better quality materials, and oil is probably the most expensive medium for painting, which many cannot afford, and those are the talents who would like to do it. I enjoy listening to you, because you go step by step, simply and comprehensibly. I agree with you about everything in the video, but it was the first time I saw that toy for squeezing the paint out of the tube😆👍🏻 It's actually a really cool thing. Thank you for sharing and I wish you much success and happy painting. I share my love❤

Wow. You are full of amazing tips and I really appreciate it!!!!

[giugiu]

Many thanks for your honesty. Looking for bargains, cheapish places and what you really need

Halie....YOU are a work of art. :) Bedankt!

[anonymousfellowindian]

Practical sensible tips. Thanks. Suggestion- use 4mm or 6mm Aluminium Composite panel, scuffed (sanded), gessoed with oil primer.

This was super helpful, thank you. I'm just starting out, and finding good (read: non-gimick-y) introductions on the basics was touch & go for a while there. I got a lot of of this.

thank you for sharing! love your work and energy, so inspiring

[allanbucher]

Your work is original and groovy. I have a bunch of cheap brushes... Including daughter's makeup brushes lol. They're great! I've played with oils before, but, trying to get serious about it now. Got a set of the Winton oils yesterday. We'll see how it goes. P.S. your last vid was not that bad.

[ShannonCase]

Awesome!! Makes me want to get back into oil painting 😍

[garywestlake]

I don't clean my brushes thoroughly anymore. I just rinse them in my odour free mineral spirits and wipe them off with a towel. Between uses I store them in a ziplock bag with saffron oil from the grocery store. You can just wipe them off and start painting. They stay fresh for a long time.

[ChuckLeeMBM]

these are great tips!! I hope using them helps my paintings and grows my channel!!

[joycelofton]

Great, practical suggestions. Thank you.

[notboverd]

its good to see you back, love your work its fab :}

[garywestlake]

I also use walnut oil alkyd medium. It doesn't smell. Not sure if there are harmful vapours.

[ashadowintime]

a bit random but your voice has amazing effects on my anxiety. it's soft and sweet.

[marvelousayodeji]

You are doing well in your painting, am an artist but am still learning painting but what advice can you give me in painting, what I should be doing and what I should not do 🙏
