Here are some more information for Bone Wood Yellow:

Hamamelis or Witch Hazel are exquisite plants that add an abundance of colour and scent to the winter/spring garden. Plants flower on bare stems in late Winter/early Spring shades of yellow, orange and red and their spidery, striking blooms produce an intoxicating perfume that fills the air. Leaves follow the blooms and provide an equally magnificent show in autumn. This plant really does offer year round interest and value for money.

Hamamelis are quite easy plants to grow and they are sure to reward you fully when established. When you buy your plants you should always try to move them in to their final positions as soon as you're able to. If you cannot plant them immediately you should try to keep your plants roots moist and store them in a cool and bright space until planting is possible.

When planting Hamamelis it is advised that the ideal position is sunny and bright, although plants can tolerate some shade. Plants placed in deeper shade become weak and produce inadequate growth. Hamamelis help to add structure to the back or middle of borders and can also be fan trained against walls to make very attractive features. If you wish to grow your plant in a container you should always make sure that it is watered regularly to stop them drying out and fed as necessary.

Hamamelis will grow in a wide range of soil types and conditions but they always require good drainage. You can improve your soil with god preparation and by digging it over with a garden fork or spade, adding plenty of organic matter as you go. Well-rotted garden compost, leaf mould or multi-purpose compost will suffice. A slightly acid to neutral pH is ideal and you can check your soil pH with a soil testing kit if you are concerned that you may not have the required pH. Apply an annual mulch of organic matter in Spring to help further improve soil structure, retain moisture and feed plants.

As slow growing plants, Hamamelis generally require little maintenance or pruning. Water plants well in their first year after planting to ensure that they do not dry out and that they have the right conditions to establish well. You should, however, be careful not to over water plants. Apply a general fertiliser at intervals in the growing season and mulch in spring. Pruning should be light, if necessary, and only dead, diseased or crossing wood should be removed.

If you notice new growth emerging from the base of your plant it is likely that these are suckers growing directly from the rootstock. Remove these as they appear as they are undesirable, not characteristic of the plant you chose and will eventually weaken your plant.

Art Education: Basic Techniques of Classical Realism Oil Paintings

What is oil painting? Oil paints on the canvas. It's an indisputable definition. I thought that oil painting is more than that.

Any kind of figurative art (including oil painting) is thought of beforehand. The basic rules of studying drawing and painting are very closely connected with the laws of the discipline.

Tip 1. Brushes

You should have many brushes so that not to lose time washing them while working. Take a new brush for every new mix. Use round kolinsky brushes, No.1 to No. 10. To cover larger surfaces, you will need a few #20 to #35 brushes. For final strokes PRIPLAVLENIYE (final blending) you will need a few very soft round and flat average size squirrel brushes. Brushes should be treated very carefully. After every session they should be washed in turpentine and after that in warm water with soap.

Tip 2. Canvas

The canvas should be primed additionally a few more times and in conclusion it should be ground with fine sandpaper. After that the canvas should be scraped with a razor to remove the canvas texture till smooth dead surface similar to the egg's surface is achieved.

Tip 3. Palette

The palette must be made of hard dark wood, best of all, of pear wood. After work wash the palette with turpentine and scrape it with a razor. Before work wipe the palette with linseed oil.

Tip 4. Paper

The

drawing is made on paper life-size to the smallest details. Then it is transferred to the canvas by carbon-paper. After that the drawing is outlined with brown ink because the first oil layer - IMPRIMATURA (transparent coat that is equal to the middle tone of largest, lightest object in painting) - will wash away the pencil, but the ink will remain visible almost through the last layers.

Tip 5. Still Life Objects

It is very important to have objects for still life in the studio. Don't be stingy at garage sales and flea markets, you may regret it later.

Tip 6. Lacquer

The lacquer for

IMPRIMATURA is made of 2% of dry DAMAR CRYSTALS and 98% of turpentine. The lacquer for painting is made of 5-10% of dry resin and 90-95 % of turpentine. A couple of lavender oil drops are added directly to the oil-can. Scientists say lavender oil stimulates the brain. However, I think that old masters added it to eliminate the heavy turpentine smell. The lacquer for the final step consists of 30% of DAMAR CRYSTALS, 3% of linseed oil, and 67% of turpentine.

Tip 7. Canvas Cleaning

Before each new layer the canvas (ideally dried during 7 weeks) is carefully wiped with a half of an onion (in order to prepare the dried surface to absorb better) and then with linseed oil. After that the canvas is wiped with a soft piece of cloth.

Tip 8. Mixture

IMPRIMATURA, or the first paint layer. The canvas is covered with a liquid mixture based on Red Ochre, Yellow Ochre Light and Ivory Black (the mixture should have an olive hue).

Tip 9. Basic Set of Paints

The basic set of paints is the following: "Rembrandt" oil colors: Flake White, Yellow Ochre Light, Red Ochre, Burnt Umber, Raw Umber Ivory and Lamp Black (7 Basic Colors), and 4 extra colors (when necessary) which I use in the last layers: Flake Yellow (instead of it also can be used Cadmium Yellow Deep), Madder Lake Deep, Chinese Vermilion, Prussian Blue. But be careful to use these last 4 colors very sparingly.

Tip 10. TEL'NII PODMALYOVOK

The

first and the second TEL'NII (flesh tones: main life colors) PODMALYOVOK (5th and 6th layers). The first TEL'NII PODMALYOVOK is made half a tone lighter and two tones lighter in colors; and half a tone darker and two tones lighter in shadows. The same is true of the second TEL'NII PODMALYOVOK.

Tip 11. PODMALYOVOK

The dead layer - the fourth PODMALYOVOK - is made with white lead, light ocher, red ocher, and burnt bone. The aim of this PODMALYOVOK is penumbra. The picture must look as if its objects were lit with moonlight - olive cold gray color. Colors are applied thickly, half a tone higher, shadows are very transparent, half a tone lower.

Tip 12. LESSIROVKA

The seventh layer --- LESSIROVKA : Details of textures, thickly applied highlights, bright reflections, and signature. In this layer you may use additional paints: Prussian blue, red cinnabar, yellow flake (cadmium yellow deep), madder lake deep.

Tip 13. Shadow PODMALYOVOK

The shadow

PODMALYOVOK (the process of creating intermediate layers) is made with Burnt Umber in two layers (2nd and 3rd layers). In the second layer all details are made excluding the texture. In the third layer LESSIROVKA of the main tone masses is made with a big brush.

Tip 14. Music

Many painters get an energy charge from music. Stop listening to any modern music and begin listening only to classical music. Try to begin loving it.

Last, stop looking at modern art and stop loving it. Modern bright colors and hue contrasts destroy the subtle vision of the painter who took risks to study classical painting in our time.

From the 16th century to the beginning of the 20th century artists used the seven layer technique. Like music where there are seven notes, seven keys, and within each there are seven more. 7 days in a week. 7 Layers of Paint. Each layer in oil painting must dry for seven weeks. The energy which we receive from old paintings in museums, like ghosts in old castles with old paintings, is related to this magic figure.

do I need oil base or latex
I am lost please help
Sherry H I love your answer thank you so much! YOU ROCK!
what was the brand of paine bob villa used?

the last time I painted my house, including shutters & downspouts I used Weatherbeater Ultra from Sears. Its top of the line & latex.

Paint the house, then paint all your trim, windows, overhang, gutters and downspouts.

For the shutters I recommend spray paint. It is so much easier and faster. Buy the right brand of spray paint made for the material your shutters are made from @ wood, plastic, metal, etc.

The brand of house paint I recommended is higher in price than most of the rest. I bought it 13 years ago when Bob Vila was recommending it. My house still looks as freshly painted today as the day I painted it. No peeling, flaking or fading! I have repainted my front door a couple of times just to freshen it up do to wear and tear, its a steal door with leaded glass in it. Used an enamel paint by a different manufacturer. I painted my house victorian blue, trimmed the shutters and front door in burgundy and painted the overhangs and guttering white. It was then and still is the prettiest home on the block.

I want to say before I used the weatherbeater Ultra paint, I had to paint my house every 3-4 tears due to peeling and bubbling of the paint. My house is wood.

So even though initially I paid more for the paint, in the long run I have saved lots of money and hard work because its lasted 13 years and looks like its going to last a lot longer.

Have fun, do it right, then sit back and enjoy!!!
