I just love you so much. Your common sense, scientific tips are a rarity in the modern world. And I love to hear a teaching voice with an Appalachian accent. Not enough of that in the world either. Bless you! Keep teaching forever :)
Value, intensity, hue: All of these can be overwhelming. These recent lessons on value-correcting the complimentary color used to lower intensity are the best tutorial videos for anybody wanting to take their painting to the next level. It can't be overstated. Brilliant. Thanks.
Excellent Dianne. I’m so pleased you’re refreshing my earlier lessons. I really need you there beside me as you are when I am painting. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this detailed analysis of colour mixing. Now I'll never look at fruits the same way as before, rather I'll be looking at them for so long while mixing the paints that I may never actually get to eat them. Haha 😁
Dianne thank you for the reminders! I have had formal study, and value correcting is so important in the color mixing process! My art instructor always said if you don't color correct (or value correct) when you are mixing complements, you will get mud!
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction I applied this knowledge to a still life of an artichoke! It was transforming! Your information, knowledge on color is so helpful and appreciated. It’s the hardest aspect of painting for me as to getting all those values mid tones and colors right. This video nailed it for me. Many thanks!
I've seen your video about how to paint tree bark and I was wondering if you've ever done a tutorial about painting moss on trees? it would be really helpful if you made a video about this!
Not yet! But I will put it on our filming schedule. We film these weeks in advance so it will be at least January before it appears, but that time will roll around before we know it.
Very informative video. Could you explain why some oil colors, especially dark ones, will have a high shine on them while others do not? And how to get rid of the shiny parts of the painting? Thank you in advance!
Amanda, you're referring to the more transparent colors whose pigments (which are actually dyes) are materials that dissolve in their binders whereas more opaque pigments, though ground very fine, suspend in the binder. Those pigments that are suspended, when applied to the canvas will sit on its surface, but their oils tend to sink into the canvas causing the surface to lose its gloss. The transparent ones don't separate so they remain glossy. One thing artists will do after the surface is dry is to oil out. See Quick Tip 222. Varnishing also helps even out the surface quality.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Thank you for your response. I'll give it a try. It happens to me every time I paint brunette hair. I'm using burnt umber/ultramarine blue and some alizarin crimson and sometimes even lamp black with blue. The rest of the portrait looks fine but the hair will be shiny/glossy.
Good ventilation! I have never found oil paint to be very fumy, but some folks are more sensitive to smells that others. Find a way to ventilate your area, and you'll be fine.
