As an artist I share my resources for finding great copyright, royalty free images that are also free to use as reference when making art. I cover a bunch of online collections and talk about websites such as Pexels, Flickr, British Library, New York Public Library, U.S. Government sites, National Archives, Library of Congress and more. If you are looking for nature references, animals, plants or man made objects, airplanes, ships, buildings, maps these are great sites to explore. I talk about Public Domain imagery, but as a disclaimer please do your own due diligence when using online imagery. This is not legal advice, just a basic guideline for the online resources I often use as an artist. 00:00 - Intro 00:38 - Pexels 02:37 - Flickr 04:11 - Flickr / British Library 05:48 - New York Public Library 07:06 - U.S. Government / National Archives 08:35 - U.S. Air Force 09:03 - Library of Congress Sites referenced in this video: https://www.pexels.com/ https://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/britishlibrary/ https://www.nypl.org/research/collections/digital-collections/public-domain https://www.archives.gov/ https://www.af.mil/News/Photos/ https://www.loc.gov/ As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. ********************************************************************* Basic Art Materials: Strathmore Watercolor Paper: https://amzn.to/2KZyNhW Wood Panels: https://amzn.to/2CDThcD Golden Fluid Acrylic Starter Set: https://amzn.to/2D1fAZr Flat Brush: https://amzn.to/2W7g3Qh Liner Brush: https://amzn.to/3mXy53a Palette Knife: https://amzn.to/2ZOJPLx Isolation Coat: https://amzn.to/2R0aUXi Varnish: https://amzn.to/2F3g4PY Blue Painters Tape: https://amzn.to/3cxlXn6 Archival Framer's Tape: https://amzn.to/36vUfmK Other Paints: Acrylic Liquitex Ultramarine Blue: https://amzn.to/34G5urS Acrylic Liquitex Yellow Oxide: https://amzn.to/3hkPxLL Acrylic Liquitex Cad Red Light: https://amzn.to/3hf1yC9 Acrylic Liquitex Ivory Black: https://amzn.to/3hfu9r5 Acrylic Golden Acrylic Titanium White: https://amzn.to/2CQisrR Acrylic Golden Fluid Burnt Umber: https://amzn.to/3mPvIyq Acrylic Golden Heavy Body Magenta: https://amzn.to/3hBQrUi Acrylic Liquitex Phthalocyanine Green: https://amzn.to/2EQFOzf Photo / Video Equipment: MacBook Pro: https://amzn.to/2Xiv9mY GoPro7: https://amzn.to/39iDsUr​ Go Pro Extension Arm: https://amzn.to/2WWdpxk Neewer Brand Lights: https://amzn.to/39Bqm6A ********************************************************************* Website: https://www.rld-studio.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rld_studio Society6: https://society6.com/rldstudio Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/RldStudio Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/rldstudio *********************************************************** ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6IqlyLT37k

In this video I walk through the steps I follow to prepare, paint and seal acrylic paintings when painting on metal signs for outdoor use. When I first started making these signs I found the information available online very confusing. This is the best method I've come up with and it has worked well when working on aluminum alloys. I sand the signs and use vinegar and water to prep the surface. I also demonstrate how I use several Rust-Oleum products including a universal primer and an acrylic lacquer clear coat. You'll also see the creative process of me painting the art onto the sign, with a few thoughts on that process. Hope you enjoy.
