No, - my goal is for you to be able to complete yourself and use your own creativity.

Yes, as long as acrylic paint is used, you can. If it has been hanging for a long time, wash it off with ammonia water first. Then just get loose.

No this is not recommended. Acrylic paint is generally not suited to be painted over oil.

I almost always use dry brush - and dry sponges.

I might add water to the canvas and the brush gets a little wet but not much 😉

This differs for each person - what is too fast? There is acrylic paint (for example Golden Open which has a longer drying time) Or you can add a medium that delays the drying time. For example: Slow drying Medium or Retarder from Amsterdam

It varies depending on the expression you want. I usually have a minimum of 3-4, often more. I paint until I am satisfied. There is no final decision on that.

Burnt umber + oxide black + titanium white

Burnt umber + primary cyan + titanium white

No - it is not necessary that you have everything I use in the course. Practice using the basics first and add new things gradually as you improve.

If you are going to use a large canvas, you need to use a large and steady easel. These small table relays are not enough. 

That said, I painted for more than 20 years before buying my first easel. I have used bookshelves, freezers - you name it! As long as it's steady then it works. 

You can also (as I often do) use two screws directly into the wall and hang the canvas up.

If you use a lot of spray paint, I recommend having a mask.

Yes, there is a difference on the canvas in terms of price and quality. If you are going to sell paintings, then choose a good quality canvas. They are more expensive, but your paintings will look better and last longer.

Is it painted with acrylic and not varnished? - YES

Is it varnished? Basically - no

Is it painted with oil? No

If it was painted a long time ago - wash with ammonia water first so you get rid of any grease.

This is a difficult situation. First I would try to soak with water (wet cloth or spray) on the back of the canvas - preferably also the frame itself. lay it flat and place heavy books on top. Let it dry for a few days and cross your fingers.

If this does not help, the option is to remove the canvas and make or buy a new frame.

If you can not remove the cloth, I would cut it out and reframe it as the last option.

As long as everything is acrylic you can mix different brands.

You pay for the color pigments in the paint. If you buy paint, for example at Søstrene Grene, it has smaller color pigments than, for example, Amsterdam. It will be different when you mix and the duration of the colors can also vary greatly.

So on paint, I recommend using quality brands like Amsterdam, Winsor & Newton, Golden, Liquitex which are good brands.

Both are of good artist quality. This is the standard I use the most. Expert has more color pigment and is a little more expensive. It also has a slightly thicker consistency.

Amsterdam (available at Tegne.no - + many places)

Golden (at tegne.no and torso.no)

Winsor & Newton (available from Panduro, torso.no among others)

Liquitex (at Clas Ohlson)

Luke 

Lefranc Bourgeois

there are many;)

No, you can not 

No, you can not 

I often paint on large canvas - so I use large brushes. If you paint on sheets of paint or very small canvas, you can consider much smaller brushes.

The brushes are cleaned in water - possibly with a little zalo. If you have been unlucky and they have become a little stiff, try using fabric softener or green soap.

Any brush will do. I recommend affordable brushes.

It's not the brush - it's the painter 😉 

Golden Extra Coarse Pumice Gel (concrete) - turns like sand - sand can also be used

Golden Fiber paste

Golden Crackle paste 

Golden Modeling paste 

All of these certainly have substitutes in other brands.

Golden Mica flake - gold

Yes - this comes in module 7

It should be varnished to preserve the colors in the painting over time.

This is not recommended. But you can try if you want to. Wash it first with strong ammonia water and sand a little with sandpaper.

There are several apps that make it easy for you to manipulate your painting up on a wall. This is great when you are going to sell, but also very nice to see if you are happy with the painting.

Apps vary a bit depending on whether you have apple or android and you get them where you usually find apps for your phone.

I use the Artrooms app - it costs a bit, but there are several other variants and some of these are free.

Other examples are

Picture frame 

Hall frame 

wall picture

This is constantly changing - so feel free to search for one of them and see if there are alternatives. Then you will find your favorite.
