In this video I demonstrate the benefits and limitations of my limited palette and give some color-mixing lessons. You can get the paints I use in the video at genevafineart.com/color
Ahoj, Romane, pan Carder to ma skvele sestavene. Ta jeho limitovana paleta dava siroke moznosti. Chci si jeho vyber barev tez vyzkouset. Zdravi a pohodu preje Milan.
You are an incredible teacher! I took a half year painting course without understanding color theory, and if I had just watched one of your videos, I would have been set. Time to get painting again!
I want to thank you for sharing both your painting and teaching talents with us. There are lots of paint mixing and color theory videos out there but yours is the best.
To me it is the best youtube channel ever!! Thank you so much for all the videos and great advices. We all appreciate very much! Can't wait to order your Geneva oil colors, hope it will be available internationally very soon :) Greetings from Poland
You're videos have helped me have more confidence in my values and colors than any time spent at school with all the regular teachings. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
This is great advice for someone who paints from life and wants things to look natural and cohesive. I personally use a limited palette because I struggle with color matching and I feel like it helps when I limit myself.
jest Pan wspaniały. Jedyna osoba chyba na youtube, która tak łatwo potrafi wytłumaczyć zasadę kolorów. Jestem zachwycona Pana umiejętnością przekazywania wiedzy. Będę polecać każdej osobie ten kanał, która jest zainteresowana malarstwem!!
god damn your videos are good! so much good clear information packed in. I don't normally comment on videos but I just wanted to say that I really appreciate you putting them up.
You just got a new subscriber. Thank you so much for this video. Art supplies are really expensive where I come from, so as a self taught artist, it’s great to know that I can still make beautiful artwork with a limited palette.
Thank you for teaching. You are the best I've seen. All too often what's taught is not comprehensive enough. Thank you for doing this and being so detailed.
Thank you very much for providing your profound knowledge here on youtube! This is going to boost my development in understanding colour matching quite significantly!
I don't know that I would have ever been confident enough to pick up a brush if not for this guy. Awesome tutorials and very easy to understand. Thank you for your contribution.
So much knowledge you provide for free...thanks for your instruction. Procrastination...is for me the hardest subject to deal with, when it comes to start painting..I'm the laziest man in the world..!!! when it comes to clean up time...I find it harder than actually painting..!! Friends tell me that I'm a 'a natural' about my paintings, but deep down, I know I'm missing 'something' so I have to take some classes..thanks for allowing me to comment.
Very tutorial on the use of primary colors, I am learning to master the handling, the use and the way to apply color, you learn a lot by watching your videos. Thank you very much for sharing your experience.
Genius! Quality content, you just saved me a shed load of money and months of faffing about with the wrong paints. I feel like I'm ready now to forge ahead with confidence with the two paintings I've got planned!
I love that you use a laminated reference photo so you can check your colors. I use my laptop to view photos in full screen, but it's not the same, and I suspect the luminosity of the screen affects the tones.
I’m getting back to oil painting after a long hiatus. I took some lessons from a local amateur artist and came away very frustrated. I had so many colors on my palette that I was confused and my paintings looked garish. After watching the videos about using a limited palette and following the steps to create the value steps for a painting, my painting improved immediately. The colors look more natural, and it was much more fun to lay the colors down on the canvas. Thank you, Mr. Carder.
OMG this video is a revelation - I have been trying to "deconstruct" my acrylic paintings...from the beginning. My favorite painter is John Singer Sargent. And I live close by to the most amazing painting of his....Fumee d'amber gris...at The Clark. I am so crazy about your videos! New to this website...but it might be saving me as an artist. I've been floundering around for months. Thank you again!
As always, your videos are informative and fascinating. Thank you. (And as a Canadian, I too look forward to when you can ship Geneva paints to Canada).
Thank you so much for this video. I just received a set of gouache paints that were recommended to me. I was really put off by them because they have these peculiar (what I call kool-aid) colors. Really they are "power" colors. I think I can use the knowledge here to get some decent shades out of them now. Fingers crossed.
Rakshita Bhargava A small amount of clove leaf oil (an essential oil) and, depending on the color, either cold-pressed linseed oil or refined linseed oil.
Mark, thank you for your wonderful & free videos! I am fairly new to painting (3 years) and have watched lots of videos. You are by far the most helpful and down to earth. Plus you show us how to make items for our own studio!! Amazing. I can't find the video on how to make the brush holder. Please let me know so I can make one. Thank you for all you do! Lee
Lee Lashlee I do talk about the brush holder in Episode 6 of my Q&A show (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TNlW50-fI-k.html) but I haven't made a video about how to build one yet. I will probably do that soon, and I am also getting ready to release a Geneva brush holder that is even better than the one I currently use.
Muchas gracias por sus conceptos y guía, me ayudan mucho. Saludos desde Perú. Thank you very much for your concepts and guidance, help me a lot. Greetings from Peru.
I was a painting major in college and let me say, in the 3 years (I dropped out because I was running out of money as I was paying cash, and I didn't feel like I was learning enough to justify taking out loans) I spent learning oils and watercolor I never got to learn anything like this. I didn't have any successful paintings, but since I've been watching your instruction things are a lot clearer for me on how to obtain a sense of believable color and value. Thanks so much for your clear and straightforward approach.
That's a great tip & point to note.. DMP,..I did sort of know this,- but only just really struck home !!! the angle of brush stroke, has an apparent effect on the shade. v' important when working on canvas .Great !
Awesome to find this video as I only recently discovered that painters such as Rembrandt used a very limited palette in his old age. I'd have saved tons of money on both acrylic and oil paint colors had I found this video years ago. Your explanations in this video were very informative and especially helpful to me. Now I'm going to see if you have any books in print, as well. Thank you very much!
artsandjazz No physical books, but I have tons of information in my online course (free) on drawmixpaint.com, as well as many many hours of video, also on drawmixpaint.com.
I think your art is a pretty good argument for a limited palette. But I've been reading several authors who advocate a split primary system - warm and cool primaries for a total of six, plus white and umbers and siennas to dampen the hues. The main argument seems to be that this prevents "muddyness" - by mixing the appropriate shifted primary to make secondary and tertiary colors (as well as balanced primaries). My question is - how might we get colors that are too muddy, and how can this be avoided, when working with a limited palette?
I'm looking for the video on what to do with that package of 35 Acrylic paints I got for Christmas! That would be awesome. You could name it "So you have all these Acrylic Colors. How to use them." I see all sorts of videos about the limited palette but not much on that cheap package that still needs to be used.... I truly enjoyed this and many of your videos. I haven't pressed my "like" button so many times in a week ever!!
this channel has really boosted my confidence in color mixing. thank you sm! i was wondering if the paper at 12:45 of how to mix yellow ochre and the like is still available to view?
Do you know when Geneva paints will be available for ordering? I know you are starting all over to rebuild, just curious and look so forward to trying these amazing paints. ❤️🖌🖼
Thank you so much! Your instructions are so comprehensive. I have been painting and studying painting for many many years and a simple concept like this just got away from me. I love working with a limited palette, it gives me so much clarity. One question though - doesn't Alizarin Crimson shift a bit towards blue?
Thanks for all your videos ,their great! I’m using gamblin oil paint at the moment alizarin crimson and Cad red, my question is how to get the red to remain red but alter the value without it turning pink or orange if I’m using cad red, even a slight hint of white or yellow alters the redness making it difficult to paint certain objects in varying degrees Could it be the paint leaning towards another colour to begin? Any help is appreciated
@@narikim8368 true, different mediums for different paintings. Try them all, on a variety of subjects, you'll be a better painter with each one in the end, because you'll know their strengths and weaknesses, and exploit or avoid them, and reduce frustration in you painting experience, overall.
