Great question. When I say a cad yellow light pigment leans towards green I mean that it actually has a lot of green in it. You can see this when you look at reflectance spectrums of the pigment. A cad yellow medium leans more towards orange. A cobalt blue leans more towards green whereas an ultramarine blue leans towards violet. So if you only have those four pigments on your palette, mixing the CAD yellow light and a cobalt blue will make a better green then if you were to use cad yellow medium and ultramarine blue. All pigment colour have the entire spectrum of colours in them, believe it or not. Colour mixing is not about creating colour but releasing the dominant colours within the pigment.
I use a Sirui tripods with a homemade pochade box base on the Daytripper easel. If you’re looking for a good pochade box look into the DayBreak Pochade.
@@MichaelKingArt Thank you so much for replying. Yes I am looking for a good poschade box. I'm just starting out so I take advice from the experts. Thanks :)
Hi! Maybe you can help me? Do you think it would be ok to mix Gamblin solvent free fluid with bleached linseed oil? I find the Gamblin fluid very thick. And can I make second layer oil paint with just oil?
I’m sure you can mix it with additional oil to ‘thin’ it. For the second layer you’ll just need to make sure to use more of the oil medium than you used the previous mixture of solvent free fluid + oil to adhere to the ‘fat over lean’ rule.
@@MichaelKingArt thank you so much for helping me. It sounds like a good idea. I was thinking the same. Gamblin solvent free fluid is made from safflower oil. I was a bit unsure if I could mix it with linseed oil
I tried to use a Guerrilla Umbrella with my 11x14 Ugo mounted on the Ugo Tripod, but a strong wind came and would have knocked the whole thing down if I hadn't caught it. Any recommendations on what kind of umbrella to use, or how to secure the tripod and Ugo pochade in windy conditions? Or, is using an umbrella a lost cause in the wind?
I’ve been there. :)- The trick is to weigh down the tripod with your backpack or large rocks. Many tripods have a hook at the base of the center column to do this.
Michael, Your video would be enhanced if you videoed the issues or items you are discussing, so we can see directly what you are talking about. Otherwise, your evaluation was valuable. Thank you,
Or just use venetian red (the warmer version) + TW to start with, its already dead on depending on the temperature... ajust with the other colors on the pallete
I really enjoy watching these sampling videos. As a noob I would find it really distracting to do the Sampling myself, in an enjoyable way that is. For now I enjoy sticking with my basic pallet playing and learning the colors that I currently use. please keep doing these videos because they are so interesting and informative.
The glue doesn't ruin the integrity of the painting? Sorry if it's a ridiculous question. Just seems odd to use a glue on a painting. I know nothing about this. But I have 3 paintings I purchased out in Guatemala. I plan to mount them myself after finding out how much a local store would charge LOL. 8" x 24", they want almost 200 dollars :) I will not pay anything near that. I'd rather do it myself, but don't want ot mess up!
If oil or acrylic, it shouldn’t. If another medium was used, always possible. 18x24” is fairly large. Plan, measure and go through a few dry runs to make the process smooth. Once it’s glued, it’s not coming off without professional help and $$$$.
