As always, you gave us your time, talent -both as an artist and a teacher, and tender guidance. You never fail to give me insight to make my paintings better. I'm truly and hugely grateful to you.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 4 месяца назад

Thank you so much for letting me know. I really appreciate it. All the best.

@Sykirobme 4 месяца назад

Love this demo, I always appreciate you leaving in the parts of the process where you're grasping for something or have to repaint areas you didn't get right the first time.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 4 месяца назад

Glad it was helpful! And yes it is helpful to see process rather than just editing it so it all looks easy.

@barbarachasnoff5967 4 месяца назад

the green and orange light are gorgeous- I wouldnt have thought of it especially for the cup.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 4 месяца назад

Thank you Barbara. That cup was pretty green. It is just that the photo was over exposed and so the green looked white and bleached out.

@Seth-L 4 месяца назад

That first hit of light on the cup was stunning, such a perfect demonstration

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 4 месяца назад

HI Seth, I thought that long mark of orange on the table was the one that just sort of came alive almost as I painted it. But it was cool after setting the stage with all the shadows to see it pop with the lights.

@AbiNomac 4 месяца назад

Your opening lines is brilliant. This was very informative. Thank you

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 4 месяца назад

Delighted you enjoyed it. Best wishes

@kathiscarpace610 4 месяца назад

Thank you, Ian. I like what you said about light. And thank you for sharing your struggle to paint the newspaper. Gave me encouragement.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 4 месяца назад

Hi Kathi, it's funny sometimes those videos go really easily, everything falls into place, or I can film it as if probably did. And sometimes, like those newspapers, they just had a life of their own. All the very best.

@janesoncanvas8337 4 месяца назад

Yes! thanks for all you do to help us understand what we’re seeing and doing. I started clicking on all of the comments I agree with, and we are all saying it!--THANK YOU!

Thanks so much Clara

@fandbwelch3768 4 месяца назад

I love the lighting in the beginning of your video to prove your point.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 4 месяца назад

You mean the new angle with the stronger light on me. I even used a better camera to film it. I wanted to have the light dim right down so I went completely black and then back up to make the point. But it proved a tech bridge too far for me. Best wishes.

@las174 4 месяца назад

I always smile at the end because your ending is so kind and loving, like a dear friend. Thank you!

@angelikawitter5305 4 месяца назад

I would never have recognized this scene as a motif for a painting. And it looks so dramatic. You make me see things much more clearly. Thank you very much for another eye-opener! Geli

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 4 месяца назад

Hi Angelika, I like the idea of searching for the thing that most people might pass by and making a painting of that . Makes me pay attention to stuff around me that otherwise I'd miss.

Your description of your process (including those you find tricky, and your resolution) is so helpful! I would have gotten to the "fish" point and thrown my hands up in dismay.

@monicacote6304 4 месяца назад

I always tell my students your darks are only as dark as your lights are light. Joni Mitchell’s Shadow and Light album always comes to mind. The introduction is spot on. It is no surprise that she is also a visual artist.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 4 месяца назад

I'll have to listen to that again with your idea in mind. But it's true, you can lather on white and not much will happen unless you get the darks behind it. All the best.

@hilary729 3 месяца назад

@barbarabush1596 4 месяца назад

Excellent, it is so helpful to see the process from start to finish. Love the painting. It reminds me of some of Diebenkorn's still life paintings.

Well I would always welcome a comparison with Deibenkorn. Glad you enjoyed it, Barbara. With best wishes.

@deaconseptember2002 4 месяца назад

For me, what makes this most simple design very beautiful is the juxtaposition of the warm orange tone of the wooden table against the cooler green and blues. I'd love to have painted this. It IS all about light. Thanks

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 4 месяца назад

Delighted you enjoyed it. And now it is your turn. All the best.

@JeanPierreThomasset 4 месяца назад

You made a masterpiece from this mundane scene. That's a wonderful art work you did! It kind of reminds me of Edward Hopper's Cafe Hopper.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 4 месяца назад

Thank you Jean Pierre. I think that is always the striking thing when someone pulls something you see everyday and can help us see it in a new way. Or in a new light I could say. All the best.

Very well spoken and calming video, I rarely paint still lifes, but after watching your video I feel like i want to paint a still life soon. Thank you for brightening my day 😊.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 4 месяца назад

The great thing about still life is you can control pretty much everything. The objects, the setting, the angle you view it at, the angle of the light source. Glad you enjoyed it Alena. All the best.

@ebuzzmiller9178 4 месяца назад

The underpainting really holds everything together!

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 4 месяца назад

Picking that underpainting color was I won't say luck exactly but was a very fortunate choice in how it held it all together.

@user-th3nm2fr7z 4 месяца назад

Hi Ian, thanks for another lesson. I have watched your videos since 2022 and because of a heavy work schedule have not been able to put in to practice your methods. I recently retired and have moved from San Diego, Ca to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. My goal is to paint Plein Air here in San Miguel. I have begun by using a view finder and drawing subjects in my area with a focus on composition. Thanks again for your time and dedication in producing the videos because of them I have been encouraged to paint.

@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 4 месяца назад

What an exciting move. My father was a painter and visited San Miguel on my parent's honeymoon and he raved about it always thereafter. I think in 1950 it was a very sleepy little town. I'm sure it has changed a lot. But it sounds like a wonderful place to retire and paint. Good luck.
