It never fails. I decide I’m going to try something (night city scape with contrasting lighting effects) and BAM! This video shows up in my list. Lots of ideas on how to achieve some of the lighting effects I was looking to get. I always learn at least a few things from each of your videos.
Beginners have an advantage that I didn't have when I started out - youtube and your channel. Not many yt channels help. I recommend this channel and one other...only. People should write these tips down and refer back. We follow so many guidelines, while painting, that it's easy to forget some basic rules. This tip applies when trying to display and kind of light. Bravo!
Have so much more to learn. Didn't realize there's so much a person needs to learn to make a beautiful work of art. Thank God I scrolled upon on your channel. I truly am learning so much from you and so excited as well as thankful for your selflessness with your knowledge.
Thank you so much! I have been taking weekibg art classes this past yr.. I never learn the things you teach me!! I learn other things.... but I need your teaching as well. Thank you.
Super helpful tip Diane. Specially these days when I was looking to make glow my yellow orange oil colours painting feathers. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge. Greetings from Mexico City.
Out of very artist on u tube you have taught me the most. I thank God for you. He has a way of leading us to the right person when we ask that of him Thank you for being you.
So are you saying we should make the bulk of our paintings lean towards neutrals or less chroma high colors and then add the pure colors as accents. I am struggling with the use of gray in my paintings. I know the eye needs a place to rest but how to I decide where that grey goes? I use more grey in the farther recesses of my paintings for depth but my chroma can still overwhelm me. Do you have a video that shows how to use gray in proportion to the painting? I can;'t seem to find it. I did refer to your nocturne video and it really helped. Thanks,!!!!
Let's change the language a bit here, Pat. When I say neutrals, I don't mean grays. Rather, I mean desaturated hues. In nature, almost all colors are desaturated, some more than others. The best way to know about that is to study it from nature. See Quick Tip 203.
Kathy, in watercolor we'd do this backwards by beginning with the higher intensity colors first: brighter yellow, then surround it damp into damp with the darker yellow, then surround that, damp into damp, with the neutral. On some papers, such as Waterford, you can begin with the neutral, lift out back to the white paper just after it looses its gloss, then while still damp, drop in the yellows, but that's a bit more tricky.
Love your videos! only started to view them yesterday. A question on this one-are you saying that we have to have gray in order to make the colors glow? How would you make a color glow in a field of green or in a still life where it is surrounded by other colors?
Thanks, Nelida. One of the characteristics of chroma (intensity) is that a low saturation of hue will bring out the brilliance of a highly saturated hue, especially of the same value. Try an experiment with your field of green idea by sneaking in small bits of neutral of the same value within a highly saturated area of green. Let us know your results.
I think what Dianne is saying is that neutral refers to a less saturated version in the same color. A more grayed version of that color, but not necessarily a pure gray, and then keeping the value the same. So in your field of green you would use a grayer green amongst the brighter greens. Hope this helps.
The palette I use for teaching is actually a plastic palette that came with my pochade box. It measures 10" x 12". In my main studio, I do use a glass palette measuring 12" x 23" .
Stephen, getting the brightest white depends upon the colors surround the white rather than the white itself. That kind of contrast is possible when a tiny a complement of the surrounding color is added to white, and/or strong value contrast. For example, if you are making clouds in a blue sky, a tiny bit of orange (complement of blue) mixed into the lightest part of the cloud will make it appear bright.
Thank you, you consistently explain concepts so clearly. In this video I noticed in the container of "brushes" on the upper left side of your pallete box there are tooth brushes. What do you use these for?
By the way, Blue Ridge Oil Colors has some great stuff. 100% Pigment &Walnut oil starting at $19 for 150 ml. Single Pigment Colors from a small but great company.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction No, I started painting since it rained so much and a found watching the news too depressing. First I got a couple of Winsor Newton tubes which are resonable but I was glad for Jason Walcotts tip. He found BROC to be equil with Old Holland and Vassari.
Dear Mam If I dont have Cerulean Blue to paint sky will cobalt and Prussian Blue mixed with white will be good for making sky blue. Do pls let me me knw Thanks Rims1
The color you use for the sky depends upon the color of the sky you are painting. There are a variety of blues that can do that. As you might have noticed by now, I don't give formulas for which colors to use for what. That would be doing you an injustice.
A pure neutral is where no color is detectable, but any color can be neutralized. Purely saturated hue has no neutralization, but every hue has the potential to be slightly unsaturated (slightly neutral) to almost fully neutral where the hue is barely detectible. No hue detection is pure gray at any value or pure white or pure black.
georgia O 'Keeffe's paintings really glow. I checked if there was a lightsource behind the canvas. After making sure that nobody was looking. Later I noticed several others peeking behind the canvas as well.
Do you have a video how to make Magenta?I have bought Alisarin Crimson is that the same? There is some video on yu tube but its not that colour,you are the best😇🌈🖼️
The sunflower in a glass vase would be the reference, but to paint it, we must switch our attention from what it is to what we are seeing - i.e., shapes, values, colors, edges, etc. We can paint anything when we change our attention from what it is to exactly what our eyes are seeing. I will put this concept on our Quick Tips list.
We got one from below the everything on here and it is the big one up there I think blister and I just worked at heard if feels like it's really tight bro but why is the blister Hill
