Oil Painting Tutorial - How to Achieve Really Vibrant Colour 

Now THIS is teaching painting! This is not just briliant. It is generous, truly sharing knowledge of art and technique.

Your approach on color is praiseworthy! In structural visual theories there is not enough emphasis on isoluminance or the use of tone in same-value conditions. We find it in simultaneous contrast problem, but we don’t deepen it enough on tonal contrasts (complementary and caloric). The Bauhaus models of color, like the sphere or the circle of color, give us the false impression that the tones are ell arranged on same equatorial plane, at same median level. Actually, not only the neutral greys, but also the saturated tones have a value hierarchy corresponding as isoluminant level to a certain neutral grey. So, in practice, the isoluminant relation is established via complementary mixture of broken tones and colored greys in order to maintain a high level of saturation..

Outstanding demonstration! You are fast becoming my favorite oil painting instructor on RU-vid. Your methods are solid and your generosity in sharing knowledge is over the top! Thank you.

This is phenomenal. One of the best ever painting videos I’ve seen on RU-vid. Your insight is a revelation. Thank you. ❤️

No matter how long you take to post a video if they are so good as always :) Great video, very useful! Thank you and greetings from Mallorca, Spain

Thanks for sharing this beautiful artwork process Alex.🙏

Wonderful demonstration. As always. Thank you!

Always glad to see a new post from you!

You're an outstanding teacher and very talented painter Alex. Hello and thank you from Newcastle Australia mate! Cheers and hooroo... ..🤙

Nice work, make! You really included a lot of the specifics that many teachers glaze over (no pun intended), which, for someone at my intermediate level (pretty beginner at oil painting, but better with acrylics & watercolor) are really extremely important & beneficial to have you go into in such detail.

Amazing work!

This is a very good demonstration. The technical information is precise and perfectly balanced with the time it takes to deliver the study. I feel that I have learnt a valuable lesson in colour movement/ broken colour. Thank you.

That's very helpful. Thank you Alex!

Really informative and amazing video, Thanks Alex now i know the what broken color actually means! 😁😁😁

Sei un vero maestro!! Tecnica stupenda!

Excellent as always

Wooooonderful demo and pure gold lesson for who we love to paint realistic and with loose brush work. I’ve been working reviewing some of your demos. Thank you so much for sharing knowledge Alex! Greetings from Mexico

What a great video!!!!! Tons of tips to improve! Can't thank you enough!

Lovely, soft, vibrant colors! A pleasure to watch and very instructive!!!

Gorgeous painting and a greate instructional video Alex!! Thank you!!

At the point after you applied the cooler shadowy green is the moment the 3rd dimension was created. Excellent ! The pink highlights are perfect.

Thank you for this insightful and inspiring demo 🙏🏼

Beautifully explained!!!

Appreciate all that you convey. Nice to have these reinforcements and balance. Thank you.

Thanks a lot Alex. This a masterly demo. God bless you.

Wow! Great demo

beautiful!!!

I’ve watched this one many times. Still pick up something new each time, it is jam packed with helpful tips. Thank you !

The way you did the shadows on the tangerines in the bowl was amazing!

Amazing. I’ve learned so much from this single video . Keep up the good content.

welcome back alex nice to see your pantings again i have missed it

I have never seen a video like this , excellent !! and thank you so much

Great lesson on color!

Amazing work! Thank you!

Love these demos. You are careful and pedagogical.

Really good! Thank you!

Excellent explanation of how art is made. You are an artist and you have an exceptionally good ability to understand colour. One of the best tutorial videos I've ever seen. Thank you.

I see in Alex - the Spirit of Sargent & a great Teacher transcending every master & masterly strokes. This painting technique is parallel to wine making passed on to generations. We the present generation are enjoying the fruits. I am also tempted to say that Alex is gifted to be top notch painter & all are not gifted & there is nothing wrong in acknowledging it. That is how God made all of us different

This is gold, thank you so much

Thanks - beautiful!

Brilliant!

Very inspiring!
