Open Acrylics: https://amzn.to/42eA3Qe How to Paint like the old Masters: https://amzn.to/3IN28ax Semi-step-by-step walkthrough of the process of this painting. I talk about the underpainting and grisaille (grayscale) method that I use to build up the paint before adding color. I also talk about trying Golden Open Acrylics for the first time. Open Acrylics are acrylic paintings that dry slower so that you can blend them more like oils. I was studying this book, How to paint like the old masters by Joseph Sheppard, even though I've been using these methods for a while. I wanted to get a better understanding of certain terms and clarify some things about the process. I walked through the demonstrations in the book, and just substituted my subject matter with the author's subject matter. The book influenced my decision to try open acrylics. I definitely recommend this book if you like the way that I paint and you'd like to learn how to do it. I'll probably go over it in more depth sometime in the future. After the Intro to Drawing Bad Art Course, I'll do an Intro to Painting Bad Art Course. I also recomend trying open acrylics. I don't have much of a background in oil paint. But a lot of people who do, commonly complain that acrylics dry too fast. The open acrylics don't dry as slow as oils, but they definetly stay wet a lot longer than regular acrylics. There are also Open Acrylic Mediums that I'm pretty sure you could add to other regular acrylics, and other brands of acrylics besides Golden, and keep them wet longer. I haven't tested this hypothesis. But I'm pretty sure it would work. The title of this painting, which I say wrong in the video, came from an idea I had of what a hangover is symbolically. Something about intoxation causing you pain as it leaves your body. Something about clinging, because that's kind of what the body doing that causes the pain. Clinging to the intoxicant. I was re watching Mad Men when I was working on this painting. So I attribute that to why I was thinking about hangovers and why I was thinking in these terms about hangovers.
