Portrait of Derek Jeter (How to Fix Painting Mistakes)

LINK- http://merrillk.com/?part=fineart&articles_id=8651&act=artist1&artist=69&collection=114 In this video, I (Merrill Kazanjian) tried to do a dry brush color portrait of New York Yankee Captain Derek Jeter.....I messed up! But, I was able to recover with a little creativity. This video will show you how to fix mistakes while oil painting.

Mediums Will it work?
Oil paint over acrylic paint? Yes- Works flawlessly
Acrylic paint over oil paint? No- Will peel off in time.
Color pencil over oil paint? Somewhat- Color pencil over a single layer of oil paint will work, but if you have several layers of paint layered on a surface, pressing hard with the color pencil will dig up some oil paint.
Oil paint over color pencil? Yes- Works flawlessly
Oil Pastel over Oil Paint? Yes- However, oil pastels do not dry unless if you add Liquin or Fixative to them. So if you plan to add another layer of paint, be sure to mix some liquin in or spray the fixative on top of the pastel after you add it atop your painting.
Color pencil over oil pastel? No- The sharp point of the pencil will carve in to the soft oil pastel.
Oil paint over color pencil? Yes- My FAVORITE combination
Illustration marker over any other media? No- It will ruin the marker
Illustration marker under any other media? Yes- Works flawlessly
Color pencil over acrylic paint? Somewhat- Color pencil over a single layer of oil paint will work, but if you have several layers of paint layered on a surface, pressing hard with the color pencil will dig up some of the acrylic paint.
WHEN IN DOUBT........ 1.) Scan 2.) High Quality Print 3.) Use any of these media atop the print.
Medium Pros Cons
Color Pencil EXTREME accuracy. Decent Mixability Limited blendability. Color pencils cannot be layered.
Acrylic Paint Dries Fast. Extremely opaque (covers well). Does not mix with oil based mediums. Blending abilities are better than color pencils, but inferior to oil paint.
Oil Pastel Great mixability, decent accuracy. Does not dry without liquin or fixative (cannot be layered without liquin or fixative). Is not as accurate as color pencil.
Oil Paint Superior Mixability. Superior covering power. Can be applied in multiple opacities (Transparent, translucent, opaque). Dries slowly....TRIGGERS MY ADHD!!!!!!
Illustration Marker Fast way to add transparent color. Cannot be used OVER other media.
Scanner/Printer/Photoshop Sometimes a paper can be saturated with color and unworkable. Scanning and printing will let you start from where you left off. No texture remains after you scan and print. Mr. November
