A Week In The Studio • Finishing Two Paintings • ART VLOG
Welcome to my weekly art vlog. Follow along in my week as I try and complete these two paintings. (SUPPLY LIST below) - Snippets of real-time painting and ponderings while I work through colors and composition. This is over the course of about 4 days in my studio. I also share why I use workable fixatif (fixative) as I work to keep watersoluable media in place before I do an isolation coat and then varnish.

•Degas Workable Fixatif (non aerosol, this stuff is awesome and doesn't smell, the pump on the bottle did break but I like filling up smaller fine spritzer bottles instead) - https://amzn.to/4ep3ZA4
•Krylon Workable Fixatif (super stinky but effective, do it outside or in a ventilated space and before you leave for the day) I try and do any aerosols right before I leave the studio - https://amzn.to/3zuyi9A
•Gamvar Varnish by Gamblin - I use the Satin finish, it's quite matte actually, but still brings a vibrance out in the paint. The matte is a too dull for my preference, and I typically leans toward matte, just not here. - https://amzn.to/47TKRrB
•I'm using acrylic paint & neocolor II wax pastels (i love these! i can wipe off if I don't like, use them like watercolor, super flexible) - https://amzn.to/3Y0xoej
