I'm James Crandall. I'm here to help you solve your painting and drawing challenges. For decades, I was an advertising illustrator in Los Angeles, specializing in making storyboard and ad mock-ups FAST. Since 2006, I've switched to a second career making paintings for gallery sale... but I bring with me all the techniques for making good images efficiently, confidently, and effectively. I especially like to have fun with all the myths and misconceptions that confuse emerging artist. It's not brain surgery, and it's more really more about technique and method than it is about in-born talent!

James ,what medium is this please?
Thats oil
@@JamesCrandallPainting lol, I meant the painting medium but after another look I saw that it's Gamblin Galkyd Medium. btw Thankyou so much for your videos. I love your art and how you paint. Remeber that trick in GIMP with the perspective tool, it makes it so much easier to line up your image, you just click and drag the corners of the image to fit the canvas.
@@shaun2647 Thanks for the tip. I guess there’s a similar feature, that’s what I normally use, but I do have GIMP on one of the machines. I often use Liquin Detail (thin) medium, seems similar, either seems to work fine
@@JamesCrandallPainting thanks James, I'll definitely order some online.
James what did you do the drawing with? HB or pen?
That’s pencil, probably sprayed with fixative before the first wash
@@JamesCrandallPainting Thanks Brother.
the perspective tool in GIMP is perfect for lining up the projector with your canvas.
I’ll have to check that out.
thankyou James.
the rag technique is a game changer, thanks James.
Excellent job sir
Many thanks
Copying ain't the real thing.
Do as you like
Nice job one thing I would do different get rid of that gorilla glue that stuff is garbage and get some Tite Bond glue
Titebond 3
Excellent tutorial, Mr. Crandall. Thanks for share your knowledege with everybody. Greeteings from Venezuela:
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching
Senin yapacağın işin ben taa @.Q.😂
thank you for this tutorial! very consise and useful)❤ i've used this to prepare a portrait for linocut engraving
Great! That’s a perfect application for a posterized image
Thank you so much! 😀
You are so welcome!
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you James for a clear map of how it works👌
Glad it helped!
Amazing work!! I love the explanations. Such as: sharp edges will not hold the paint. ❤❤❤🎉
Thanks so much! 😊
This looks great! But what do you do with the sides? Do you paint them in one color or cover them with a frame?
Thanks. The edges wouldn’t be visible after framing.
How do you mount the canvas on the wood? I'm also curious what you do with the sides then?
greast demo, thanks!
Glad if it helped, thanks for writing
Do you have a video or advice for adhering linen or canvas to the panel?
Yes
I’ve seen a reference photo used by Salvador Dalí.
Notan has a history beyond being a “hipster term.” Nōtan is a Japanese term that means ‘light and dark harmony/balance.’
My Japanese artist friend tells me that this word is never used in this context in Japan, and that it is misappropriation as used among arty English speakers. I went to Art college in the 1970-1980s (along with several Japanese students) and never heard this word until perhaps the 2000s. That’s why I suggest this usage is a modern invention.
The median tip was especially helpful.
I’m glad if that helped
I’d like to do this. Has you method been time tested? I’m just worried that the canvas would eventually bubble up after a few years. Especially if it was displayed under hot lights or in humid conditions. Any problems like that? How long have you been using that adhesive ? Thanks for posting
I’ve been using this adhesive for many years and am very confident about it. My painted panels are in places all over the U.S. and Canada and I’ve never had any complaints about bubbles. If sufficient adhesive is applied to both surfaces there shouldn’t be a problem. In any case, this adhesive is archival and reversible…so any future problem that might arise can be addressed if care is taken.
Thank you for sharing this!
Of course!
Bruh... why on Earth would you leave a non-functioning part in/on the bike and then go ahead and remove all the additional ABS brake lines? Save weight and toss the cancerous lump. This video should be cited as a prime example of cognitive dissonance!
Because the next owner might want it, it’s not in the way of anything, the weight is irrelevant, and I didn’t want to fabricate a housing for the electronics. This was the SIMPLEST solution and completely reversible (I saved the ABS hard lines)
I know from doing restoration work that “tossing” old parts can only create problems for people down the road.
Congratulations on your OPA Master Signature Member Award of Excellence Yello Umbrella No. 3 30" x 40" !
Thank you very much! The award was unexpected. It was “Member’s Choice” though, which is very nice
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
And it worked fine without swapping the brake master cylinders? I've read conflicting reports. I'm about to attempt to remove a faulty ABS pump unit from my 2003 R1150RTP and replace it with the bypass unit I bought from Motorworks in the UK. The bypass unit is basically just a metal frame that joins the original steel lines that go in and out of the pump, so there's no need to remove them and install regular braided-steel lines. The bypass unit was pricey, but I think it will be the quickest and cleanest way for me to remove the pump, and allows a pump to be easily installed later. Oh, and Motorworks shipped it from the UK to east coast USA within 3 days of placing the order online! For the electronic bit, my plan was to 3d print a cover, but the Motorworks unit is shaped for the electronics box to mount to the side. From the several videos I've seen on this subject, I'm confident in tackling this job - just curious about performance without changing the master cylinders. No affiliation with Motorworks - I just thought other viewers might find the bypass unit handy. Maybe I'll try to record my swap over the next few weeks. www.motorworks.co.uk/servo-abs-removal-unit-bra90000-1.html
Very helpful, thank you@!
You're welcome!
That was very helpful. Love you painting!
Thank you so much!
I'm not gonna lie, I was looking for picture frame routing videos, but I'm so glad I stayed through. I did not expect that frame to come out that beautiful, you're a master of the craft, and I hope to get there one day!
Glad you liked it! As I think I said, this moulding is bought from a mill - I don’t have the machines that would be required to make it. I sometimes have made simple mouldings on my router table, but with multiple passes there are multiple opportunities to have a little glitch- I always seen to ruin a significant number of pieces and wonder if if I’ve really saved any money!
Fantastic video, thank you SO much for making this! I just picked up a mint condition 1994 1100RS with 20k miles and a full service history. My last bike was a Honda GL650, so with the increased speed and power, I can't wipe the grin off my face. I got to know my 650 REALLY well, but now with this RS as my first BMW, I am learning a whole new platform. Thank you again for making such a great video!
Have fun! Know that if it’s a little too much of a struggle getting the battery in or out in this tight space, it’s really not that big a deal to loosen the tank and lift it up (I found this out later)
Genius! I was thinking of doing it this way as well and you just confirmed that this is a good idea.
Glad it was helpful! Yes, I didn’t see any point in removing the part, or something that would require fabricating brackets or housings
way better
thank you!👏🙏🏻
You're so welcome!
People don’t realize how much work, time and planning goes into making a hand made frame. So glad you are showing them. This frame is just beautiful! I want to start making my own frames, (it’ll be a long time til I could be this good!) and I just love watching you build this. Thank you for sharing your work process! 😊
You are so welcome! Thank you for writing and good luck with your own endeavors
What is the glue that you are using? Is it archival so that acid from the wood doesn’t damage the painting?
It is identified in both the video and the description
Excellent video
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much ❤
You're welcome 😊
Thanks for taking the time to let us know your secrets. It is so much appreciated.
My pleasure!
Great video! Can I make these without using nails, and just wood glue?
Yes of course! Just leave the pieces clamped longer. Overnight would be good
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! Hope it helps
I love to paint but don't enjoy the drawing part of the process. This explained a lot. I just bought a projector and tripod. I can't wait to try it, accelerate the drawing phase, and paint sooner...Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Good Job Sir and you are a Living Master
Love the flush trim router. Perfections. Assuming you then prime or gesso the wee beastie?
Thanks, yes, this will get gesso
Feels warmer and sunnier now. Much improved. Fun to watch!
Thanks very much
Been wanting to project on art surface for long. Posterizing the image is brilliant. Makes some easily traceable value delineations. Thanks!!
Maybe it will help I hope so
@@JamesCrandallPainting I think so. Bought a cheap projector and now working out how to focus it much closer than it is designed for with diopter filters.
how much could you sell that frame for?
I don’t really know because I just make frames for my artwork and my wife Nancy’s. I just know it would cost a lot to buy something similar… much more than I like to spend
@@JamesCrandallPainting Thanks for your honest response, I am starting a canvas printing bussines and a good fram can really add quite a bit to the product value, frames that size go for 200 and up online so your video was really helpful.
This is fantastic! Unbelievably fantastic!
I hope it helps
Thank you for video- well done !! ;)
Thanks for watching!
