Quick Tip 275 - Luminosity 

The depth and breadth of your knowledge is matched only by your ability to teach. Truly amazing work.

I wish clones of Ms. Miz were the only teacher I'd had in every school or class I've ever been in. So patient and dedicated and chill and quietly passionate. Total opposite of most of the teachers I've had, most of whom didn't care about their subject.. and had no passion, also so many of them were cranky

One of my big dreams was to go back to collage and study painting . And here I am , attending your classes and learning from the best of the best . Thank you so much Dianne for making my dream come true 💐

I am learning art through books and RU-vid but in watercolours and pastels, so I often wonder what I am doing watching your videos. It must be because you are a brilliant teacher! This is a great example of how you answer a difficult question with just the right depth, clearly and with demonstration. Thanks so much!

As a beginner painter this was like when math clicked for the first time in college. My brain struggled with the terminology but I think I really understand this so much better. Omg and I had no idea my favorite painting effect was called luminism either! Thank you!

Thank you for these quick tips. Peaks my interest, and I always visit your web site. Your a wonderful teacher!!

Thank you for yet another “core of art” teaching. You are a treasure!

I very much like the way that you get straight to the point of the video, not spending time banging on about introducing yourself like a lot of others do…and just a brief speil at the end to subscribe…..for these reasons, and your excellent presentation, I subscribed. Thankyou kindly.

I need a lifetime to go through your videos and learn all of this new information and techniques ❤️

The is super helpful. Been interested in Hudson River School painting lately and this will definitely come in handy

Your explanations are so clear I think I am beginning to understand things that have always eluded me so far.

ALWAYS...Valuable content! Thank you Diane!❤️

Loved it!Looking forward to learn more from you!! You're work is beautiful and so is your smile❤️

You're an amazing teacher! I am learning so much from you watching a few quick tips just these past few days (and nights before bedtime lol) Thank you for your concise and straightforward demos and explanations. You're soo generous with your time and knowledge. I'll keep watching.

if they didnt like your joke, they should lighten up. I loved it!

Thank you for providing the theory and demos to help us create better art. There is so much information in each Quick tip that I can revisit any one of them and gain a more solid understanding. Enjoy your sense of humor, too. Thank you!

Thank You Dianne , been oil painting for 30 years , never heard of the luminism movement , we never stop learning X

Again a great lesson! Thanks a lot, Dianne. It's helping me a lot in understanding how to paint.

Very well shown. I have been using many types of media and been crafting for a long time and give tips on what I know. I genuinely enjoyed watching this. The color mixing is so important and your emphasis was great. It’s amazing what we can achieve with a few basic colors and the importance of the white color being mixed in. Many times I use black color to enhance the depth of colors then add the white as needed. You did so great. Thank you again for a great video. The contrast of colors and their affects can create magic. 🥰🦋👍🏻

You are a gem for making these tutorial videos for us! Glad I found you. Subscribed.

Thank you, Dianne. Great lesson!

What a great lesson! Your visual examples are so clear. Thank you!

Thank you so much Dianne. I have been wondering how to create luminosity for quite some time. This was clear and helpful, as always. Ruth

Fantastic video, I’ve heard the term but never understood until this video. Thanks for sharing and for the consistently amazing content.

Thank you very much for this lesson. It's very helpful. I saw your paintings. They are beautiful. You are a great artist.

You are such a wonderful teacher, I feel I learn so much on your channel. Thank you!

Thanks for the great tutorial. The lesson was well covered and really helped me understand luminosity!

Fascinating. Thank you Dianne

Glad I found you yesterday, great teaching, thanks from the Netherlands!

Thank you for all the wonderful information you give us I’m really paying attention and learning things I never knew existed

Thank you for another terrific video. I love your book as well. It’ll be one I refer to and reread for years I’m sure.

Love this lesson, thank you. This is something I've been looking at for a while but had no skill in it. I went to art college but had no lessons in technique 40 years ago. The first teacher who taught me some technique was my Chinese art teacher in the mid 80s, and due to lock-down have been revising this with the help of so many other teachers. Can't manage oil painting at the moment but just invested in some Japanese water colours and they have such a clean colour.

Super! I'm going to give that a try. thank you very much, Dianne!

So very interesting and inspiring. You really can explain colors and color theory in a helpful manner. Thank you!!!

Hi Dianne - thank you so much! This was an outstanding Quick Tip.

Thank you! I really enjoyed that! So useful. I did a fine art degree, lived in Paris for a while, loved Monet, but of course never learnt about colour in depth x❤

This was as always a very informative video. Thank you.

I loved this one, Dianne - so interesting about luminosity and would love to hear more in depth about simultaneous contrast. Thanks for another helpful Quick Tip!

Another great quick tip! Thank you!

Thank you for another very informative video. You are an inspiration!

Thankyou Diane so much , these quick tips and videos are the best really and such a help in understanding colour . I try to memerise hue, value ,saturation Amazing generosity of knowledge you give . Thankyou🙂

Thanks Dianne! Great question from a fan, I was wondering about myself.

thank you. this is a great tip. i've been struggling for some time. this is great.

Wow Diane, that was a difficult one to tackle but you did it well!! Thank you!

Love the new camera work and editing.

Thank you Dianne...very helpful !!!!!

You are such an amazing teacher!

I've learned so much from your videos! Thank you

Thank you so much. It was very helpful video. When I paint the sky I go for the values and I can’t reach effect I am after. But you explanation just gave me fundamental knowledge how to reach that glow in the sky. Thank you again for sharing you knowledge.

Super interesting! Thanks for the indepth look at luminosity.

I enjoy your guides, love you 😍

Love this one. It really appeals to me

Hi, I always appreciate your lessons. Stay safe and healthy.

Wow! You pushed me on this demo!

Thank you for all you do

First class instruction, as usual!

excellent instructions again,Thank you!

Assisto suas palestras mesmo sem entender inglês, mesmo assim tiro proveito, obrigado por estar sempre transmitindo conhecimento sobre as cores. from Salvador Bahia Brasil.

"Let's shed some light on that one." LOL, I see what you did there. Very clever -- thanks for the laugh.

Thanh you a lot. I really like your lessons

Boom, hahaha your so my favourite art instructor 🤗

Albert Bierstadt is one of my favorites! Ivan Aivazovski too, wonderful oceanic scenes.

Fascinating!

You are marvelous lady ❤

Thanks so much, once again!!

Thanks, I appreciate your guidance 🙏 😊 Gerry

I ❤️ the lessons

Thank you for this vídeo. very helpful

Just stumbled on your quick tips-absolutely loving the way you teach - This quick tip is particularly of interest to me- I have a question about the adding of the white and red to accentuate the effect of the luminosity -is that using a slight lightening of the value ( the red and white mix) to also aid the effect or is the red and white mix also needing to stay at same value ( I struggle to compare value when the colour temperature is so different) thank-you again for acquiring such amazing knowledge and being so good at explaining it

Good lesson, thanks!

Thanks for enlightening us. Haha! Very informative. It's interesting how Kensett put two dark bushes on that glowing landmass. That's straight up contrast. Thanks again. The last ten minutes was a lesson on creating darkness? Hahaha!

Thank you very much ma'am😊😊

I am not a landscape painter. Did not know about lumosity. Listening to you explain it so simply and demonstrate it has been an experience. Will try and incorporate it into my paintings. Can luminosity be used on skin? Thank you

Thank you so much ! Greetings from Germany!

Thank you!

Hi Dianne. This is a great tutorial. Does the illuminocity work the same in watercolour? And (at 4:10 for example) Would I just add water to the ultramarine blue to lighten it to get the similar value?

Hi Diane, I’m hoping you do a quick tip on this. I’m looking to improve my palette of colors and spend money on fewer higher quality paints. I’d like to follow the color wheel, but that is sometimes difficult to do when shopping online. I’d like to choose the best pigments for the entire color wheel. I’ve had an impressionist palette before, but would like your take on tube pigment choices for the entire color wheel. For example, yellow green or yellow orange or the best pigments for the primary red. I also like to differentiate between transparent and opaque pigments for these colors as well loving the strength of cobalt colors. I can’t seem to live with just one red or one blue or one yellow but like the nuance differences between cobalt and ultramarine yet many people use pthalo or anthraquinone blues. I also want to make sure I’ve got siennas and umbers for good mixing. Can you help me put together a good color mixing palette based on the color wheel with more options? It can get overwhelming and very spendy. Thanks 🌷 -Anne

I can here your cat it pretty sweet 😊thank for your patience to teach us it’s a good idea thank ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Good painting imformation.

How are you darling..Happy to see you again after such a long time..Welcome back

Much appreciated

Fabulous video Dianne. Could you explain to me, what is the difference between value and intensity, please?

Dianne, I was sthrilled and stunned with this Tip. The reason: what always impressed me about your landscapes is the ethereal quality of the light effects. I never thought I would learn how to (endeavor to) achieve such skies! Thanks so much for your endless generosity. On a different subject: what is a good substitute for a Yellow Ochre LIght pigment, which I can't seem to find where I live. What do you usually use it for or with? On a completely unrelated question -- but one that has to do, technically, with light effects and color: Is it my imagaination or are those yellow-lensed supposed 'computer glases' a hoax? I find that the yellow tint simply makes the glare from which I suffer -- much worse? In other words they don't cancel out blue light but just create a complementary color? Thanks once again for always illuminating us, Carol.

Thank You ❤️😀

You are a genius.

Good stuff👌

Nice video! But wondering if adding some foam or cloth on walls during record session could diminish the echoing sound?

You're aces!

Does anyone have a link to that specific color wheel?

Dianne thank you so much for clearing confusion about another very important aspect of painting!👌 you explain so clearly & effectively!I It really helps a lot!👌 thank you! but what happened to the video from 23:24...??.. your teachings are helping a lot!🙂.. thank you! take care and stay safe!💐

I love your humour. But also how you can teach the foundations so it can apply to most mediums.

Do you have a video on scrambling and what about glazing?

This was great, Dianne. I shared on Facebook. I've been studying Inness lately. Have you found a yellow tube color that has less tendency to turn green in skies when they hit blue? I have heard Indian yellow and yellow ochre are good choices.

Thank you

Do you have any video about clean the brushes?

Diane, does simultaneous contrast mean colors opposite on the color wheel? Thank you in advance.

Thank you for this informative video. It gives a whole new light to my paintings! But could you please tell me how to paint from a photo to make it more dream like or give more of an artistic character to the painting which tells a story while keeping it realistic? Sorry I am not sure if I made my question clear but I am having trouble with painting using photos as an inspiration. Painting exactly is easy. Thank you.

Hi, this video certainly puts all the light on secrets of creating luminism in a painting. I have only one doubt, how should we start such paintings- toning the canvas and the very first layers. Should we start with a bit darker value and muted tones in first layer than those in the final painting?

Dear Diane Do you mix your colours first with oil then put them on the pallet ?

Is the Luministic technique used for painting an out of focused background?
