I thoroughly mixed the gesso and modeling paste together, then poured small amounts of it onto the panel at a time. My painting surface was prepped with a 50/50 mix of Acrylic gesso and modeling paste. I spent a good amount of time working up a detailed drawing from the reference photograph using my grid drawing process, which helped me solidify my composition and learn the subject, as well as get the most accurate drawing possible. I think of it as an equine still life, rather than a horse painting. I planned out a composition of a horse, but with a focus on the buckles, straps, and shadows near the horse’s eye. My painting surface for this demonstration is a 6×8 Masonite board. I highly recommend giving the Flemish Method a try at least once, however, even if you normally prefer Alla Prima painting or like to work wet-into-wet. Traditionally, each layer was allowed to dry for a minimum of seven weeks, so it’s quite a long process. The Flemish technique is also known as the 7 Step Method. However, the technique I describe can be used with all types of oil paints and acrylics, as well. For the style of painting I do, this is a bonus. The only drawback to walnut oil is that it dries more slowly than other traditional oils. They can also be thinned with walnut oil (and you can even clean your brushes with walnut oil), so if you have health issues with standard solvents, you can use these paints without solvents or mediums. They age without yellowing and very few of the colors are opaque, which makes them ideal for Classical layering methods.
I also use a brand of oil paint that’s ground with walnut oil instead of linseed, safflower, or other oils. The process I now use most often is a personal adaptation of the original Flemish technique. I have tried it as described by various online courses, but an allergic reaction to Damar Varnish, which is one of the ingredients of the painting medium used throughout the process, necessitated alterations in the process. I’ve always been a fan of Classical art, but I first became aware of this technique ten years ago. This method develops a painting from a detailed drawing through seven stages to the completed painting.
DRAWIT DRY ERASE PAINT SERIES
The method of painting I’ll be describing in this series is based on the methods of Flemish Masters of the 16th and 17th centuries painters such as Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck. This project is best completed over a weekend rather than piece-mealing it bit by bit like I did.By Carrie Lewis in Art Tutorials > Painting Tutorials Total Cost: $200 once I return everything I didn’t needĪll told, it turned out awesome and I REALLY love it.

DRAWIT DRY ERASE PAINT HOW TO
A quart of Zinsser brand peel stop clear primer.Borrowed Ford Explorer from mother-in-law to transport wood.4’x8′ 3/8″ birch veneer plywood cut down by Home Depot staff to 4’圆′.I could dispense with the panic of trying to paint a surface with clear gloppy paint or I could trick a member of Cohere into helping me apply a sticker. who turned me on to Writeyboard’s clear dry erase STICKERS. After the 4th trip to different hardware stores AFTER I researched all the clear board paints like IdeaPaint, ReMARKable and DrawIt I really had to lean in to get this board done. Other times, I get SUPER frustrated at how corporate everything looks and then do something dumb like believe I can DIY it for 1/8 the price in a week. Most of the time I’m happy to click three times on Amazon Prime and have what I need delivered to Cohere’s coworking doorstep. All whiteboards in the whole universe are literally the worst looking things ever or cost many hundreds of dollars. A whiteboard that was more decoration than utility but still did its job when required. I needed a new whiteboard for our revitalized ConferEssence room.
