So many viewers (100,000 and counting) watched my last demonstration video from two weeks ago, I decided to do another. I elaborate on the video from last week on mixing greens and add not just the long form demonstration but show in advance how I am thinking about color mixing.
Here is a list of the pigments: titanium white, cadmium yellow lemon, cadmium yellow medium, yellow ochre, cadmium orange, cadmium red light, alizarin crimson, dioxazine purple, ultramarine blue, chrome oxide green, phthalo green.

I think that “long demos” are not good, they are FANTÁSTIC!!! Thank you so much!

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 2 года назад

OK Roberto, fantastic is good. Thanks for letting me know.

@jacquelinewoolbright3146 2 года назад

This is so great for those of us who need instruction , but unable to participate in in-person classes.

@IHS333 2 года назад

Mr Roberts if i can ask you how do u attach your canvas to the easel board?

@watchmanonthewall77744 Год назад

AGREE

@susanhepburn6040 2 года назад

Yes, I would greatly appreciate a long-form demo once a month, Ian. Really helpful, and thank you very much.

@donaldwarren8891 2 года назад

I agree with the longer demos at least once a month - they are quite helpful. I often think that the 6-7 minute videos are a little too short - they seem more of introductions to topics. (I didn't want to scroll all the way down to the end to type this comment.) OH! Now I see I could have made my comment at the beginning, but I don't know where it would end up in the listing of comments.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 2 года назад

Thanks so much Susan.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 2 года назад

Hi Donald, thanks on your feedback on the length. It's true 6-8 minutes means crafting something pretty tightly on topic and letting all kinds of related ideas hung. I suppose until another later one. At the same time I hardly ever have time to watch something a good deal longer. What's that line about public speaking, close while they still want more. Not sure. All the best.

@enamary1 11 месяцев назад

Oh, my gosh! An excellent tutorial! Demonstrating while explaining is so helpful. Thank you Ian.

@livaloha247 2 дня назад

I agree. I've learned so much about mixing color simply by watching!

@myalee108 2 дня назад

Yes, we haven't seen a new full demo for a long time, please at least once a month to light up in the winter south world with your more demos!😃

@apianarosa 2 года назад

Long demos are great, anytime, lovely to see you painting and explaining.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 2 года назад

Thank you Albertina.

@jolakedra2998 2 года назад

Demos are always nice but it's quite likely way more work for you. Thank you for posting for free for all of us who want to learn but not necessarily can afford classes.👌❤️

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 2 года назад

Thanks so much for your appreciation. Means a lot Jola.

@marystrickland5748 2 года назад

Love your videos and the fact you display the ref photo and explain the colors being mixed to achieve end results, in addition to the technique used while painting. These videos are at the top of the ones most helpful. You stick to the point and don’t stray from the subject matter. Most helpful demonstrations! Thank you!

@kathyries День назад

Longer demos are great!! You add more tips with more time teaching. Thank you so much!

@peterpower6397 3 месяца назад

Action speaks louder than words , More demos please , Love your teaching style Thanks Ian.

@pusheenlover5535 Год назад

I too love the longer demos. It gives me more detailed information which is super helpful! Thank you!

@SuperPiano1234 2 дня назад

That was brilliant, but particularly because you add so much understanding with your fluent commentary. Also well edited for time so that it stays interesting all the way through. Thank you so much. Please keep the demos coming

@maryphillips6273 2 года назад

Yes, a longer demo is always appreciated! Thanks so much for this, Ian. I thought the color wheel explanation was a great reminder for me when mixing colors.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 2 года назад

Glad you enjoyed you enjoyed the longer video Mary. All the very best to you.

@maryatkinson4884 2 года назад

I will watch everything you do, too! So glad to have found you!

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 2 года назад

Thanks Mary. You are great!

@Kate-mo8lh 2 года назад

Love this demo! I would like to see something similar on sky’s/clouds.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 2 года назад

Thanks Kate. Will do one on clouds. Be a few weeks.

@joycehuguenin1012 2 года назад

I loved how you showed all the different greens, but Kate is right: one on clouds/sky's and even water, waves, sea I would love to see.Thank you Ian for showing these wonderfull demo's

Yes, a long demo is a great idea. Thank you for your time in making these.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 2 года назад

Thank you!

@kathyriggs2308 2 месяца назад

I love the long demos--I find greens challenging so your video really made color clearer. Thank you.

@lindabriggs1411 2 года назад

I concur that the longer demo is very helpful and watching the process of color mixing helps get us out of the "fearful" closet! Great teaching!

@marybenton9898 2 года назад

What a gift your free instructional videos are for many of us. Would love to watch some over and over but actually find it challenging just to keep up your impressive weekly publishing schedule.

@jauharacare2679 2 года назад

A longer demo of actual painting is very helpful

@cindorcatnip 2 дня назад

I would love a long demo once a month! Thank you very much for all the details and explanations. I do learn a lot and appreciate very much how generous you share your experience.

@helenlee2269 2 года назад

Ian, I've enjoyed watching your long demos. I learned a lot from you. Hope you'll produce more long demos. Thank you so much!

@normclark7497 2 года назад

Mastering composition is my go to reference book, I’m really appreciating your videos both short and long. This video was so helpful Thank you Ian👍🏼

I just discovered you ... I wish I had discovered you a couple of years ago when I started painting! Yes please, more long demos!!!

@scottseary2276 2 года назад

I'm learning more from this than from years of browsing other lessons 😁👍

@jaymade211 2 года назад

I will definitely be watching your long-form demos, repeatedly, and taking notes.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 2 года назад

Thank you.

@sherylsilberman 2 года назад

This was so helpful, not only for the mixing of greens but the relaxed process. Thank you!

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 2 года назад

That's great Sheryl. Thanks for telling me.

@user-fh9vi6pe1l 9 месяцев назад

This study/demo was very helpful. I would enjoy a monthly demonstration-your offering to do so is very generous.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 9 месяцев назад

thanks so much. Glad you enjoy it

@joeirvine3398 День назад

Great to see this one again…I learn (or have reinforced) something from each of these videos. Thanks Ian … and Robin too!

@burlingtonburnaby5356 2 года назад

Hi Ian , The long format really works for me. I particularly like the way you laid out the overall strategies of color mixing before going into the details. It would be nice to you can teach another one like this for yellow/orange and brown family. Thank you so much. I have learned a lot from you. Anita

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 2 года назад

Glad you liked it and that is a good suggestion for the browns. I'll have to find an image that works for that. Thank you.

@DannySabraArt 2 года назад

I really loved your comments on controlling the edges subservient to the overall goal of the composition. I think that is so often overlooked when you really need a chorus of techniques harmonizing towards one goal. Color, texture, shape and composition all singing together. Thanks for this great demonstration! This is one I’ll watch multiple times! Keep it up! Great work.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 2 года назад

Thanks so much Danny and I really need to do another one on edges.

@jacquelinewolfgramm5987 2 дня назад

@muhlenstedt 2 года назад

Yes to long demos and also for the short version before,one to have a general idea and the other going deep. These videos are so well done and helpful, thank you very much.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 2 года назад

Thank you for the feedback.

I am so enthralled , I forget to breathe! Thanks again. I do like the long demo.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 2 года назад

Wonderful! Thanks for letting me know Dee.

@joyceyoung5628 2 года назад

I watched it three times in a row--so all that great info will sink in! It simplifies my process and makes sense. Please continue with at least one full demo a month; thank you soooo much!

Thanks for the feedback Joyce. Best wishes.

@sarahlarsen5326 2 года назад

Thank you Sarah.

@margaretmajewski545 День назад

I really appreciate the information you soo generously provide. Yes, if you are prepared to make “longer” demos .. I would love to watch. I feel there is lots to learn in Art .. it doesn’t seem to end. 😁

@kamleshsunak3176 2 дня назад

Thank you Ian for this informative and very helpful demo. Mixing greens always have been a challenge for me.

@colettemorgan4503 2 года назад

The demonstration was well done. I would really appreciate the long version once a month. I especially appreciate the 🎨 demonstration before the painting. Thank you.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 2 года назад

Thanks Colette.

@suepidlubny3183 2 года назад

Yes, the long format video is a great idea. Thank you. Working from a “puddle” is now part of my process; it makes my compositions so much more consistent. Looking forward to next Tuesday.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 2 года назад

That's great Sue. Thanks for the feedback.

@alphaomega6684 2 года назад

Yes, the puddle makes so much sense. My problem is never knowing how much paint to start with and never wanting to put enough for fear of wasting it.☺

@lindaclark2253 День назад

really got amazing "aha!" moments watching your demo- thank you Ian

@suzannepowers1185 10 месяцев назад

Excellent discussion on greens! Would love to see more of these long videos.

@Coco2345ful 2 года назад

I was enthralled with your way of mixing greens! I need to watch this over several times, hope I can save this! I noticed the composition , vertical , horizontal and diagonal , is Always on the right side of the canvas. Do yo , or can you put the vertical on the left, etc.? I don't see why not!

@pamelahulland8439 2 года назад

According to Stefan Baumann, in western cultures, because we write from left to right, our eyes are comfortable going into the painting from the left and then rest on the right, other cultures such as Arabic who write from right to left have the opposite degree of comfort. It’s a natural progression from cultural training.

@payntpot7623 2 года назад

If you watch last week, he showed how he came to that layout.

@rolisonpaint3 2 года назад

Edward Potthast 1859-1927 did many paintings with his vertical on the left hand side and was very successful with that composition.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 2 года назад

Well, in next week's video the main center of interest is way on the left. Just to make the point, that I think it just depends on my reference material.

@mogauthier0000 2 года назад

I noticed that because I’m left handed I have a tendency to put my focal point on the right hand side of my compositions. I have to be very careful because I also want to do the same with how the eye will enter a canvas. Thank you for doing this demo on greens. I was stuck with too few greens in my current painting.

@jackiecarroll3121 2 года назад

Enjoyed the video, I just wonder how often you change brushes to keep from getting too muddy.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 2 года назад

I clean them a lot.

@sharronschoenfeldartwork 2 дня назад

I enjoy your demos, you explain your process really well so I find them extremely useful. I think the long demos are a great idea. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
