Great video! Just found your channel and am really liking it.

WOW!! That helps so much and I am doing this exercise, so exciting. Thank you

Wonderful...thank you for sharing your knowledge, it's appreciated.

I’m really enjoying your videos ❤

Great video on a rarely mentioned important subject of color.

I would never use the word, Impressionist with L’hermitte. He was an exquisite draughtsman and he put mood and depth into his works.. They read. The Impressionists were simplistic and well daubed by the Salon.

Dappled light is a favourite subject on walks. Thanks for showing iterations of this light so clearly.

Thank you again for the valuable lesson!

Very on time teaching. Thanks. Question: do we make simplify shapes by grouping them according to value similarity or by eliminating some shapes or else? Thanks.

Excellent lecture. Very informative. TY

Great explanation

I’ve certainly found that focusing less on local colour and more on colour temperature to have profound impact on some of my paintings. Thanks for sharing

Values are a big problem for the beginner...

Wow, who knew there was so much to making a tree on canvas!? Great tips! I can see that I have a lot to learn. Thanks so much for the emphasis on making the shape interesting, adding sky, and simplifying the colors. Lots of terrific information.

One of.the best explanations of reflective light and its importance. Clear and concise . Thank you !

Great video. I know many of those painters and have monographs of them but a few I didn't. The taos painters I don't know... There are some spectacular autumn paintings by the Group Of 7. A few Thompsons I can't get out of my head.

Your channel is a treasure trove of painting wisdom.

I very much enjoy your choice of paintings and their analysis.

Hellow Pill thanks for sharing I always enjoy your clarity on how u talk about the simplicity of works done by not only yourself but also of other master artist. I have learn so much n it has help my growth as an artist tremendously. Thanks.

I’m just starting a fall watercolor painting…I find much of your videos is transferable to watercolor…thanks!

Doesn't how your eye enters a painting depend upon on tbe height the painting is hung? I feel the height the painting is hung can greatly influence the personal experience.

In the Hennings painting, I find my eye entering along the edge of the water.

Does a lot of colors, without value changes in a painting, define the painting as impressionistic?

I appreciate how much you share with others! Helps a lot with my own work! Thank you 🙏

I love this one..beautiful

Phil, glad you pay due homage to these obscure painters of the past, lots to learn from them. On an unrelate note, sitting on my patio late last night looking at the evening clouds over Tucson from my home in Oro Valley, and realizing how I can duplicate the pinky gray and the gray-ie pink of the night, of the clouds and the lovely dark sky, and how to paint it, makes me understand I'm starting to get this art thing, .....ever so finally! ;D

thank you. I have a lot of trouble with using color....

VALUE...I never want to hear the word 'VALUE' like ever, again...:):):) But stunning paintings nonetheless, and they oibviously have a lot of 'VALUE' at least monetarily...Cheers

Amazing work!!! Do you use natural or synthetic brushes? Also, what’s your opinion on painting on panel, smooth surfaces?

What a spectacular and vivid description! Great sir, you illustrated in a beautiful way such a complex subject. Thanks 🙏

I have always loved Lhermitte

Excellent. I enjoyed seeing these great paintings. Thanks for your presentation.

I just saw a presentation of Leon Lhermitte recently on youtube, though your's was so much better. I'm an individual that is dedicated/believer in drawing to work out any painting. Thank you for putting this together. Great Job.

Very helpful! Thank you!

Beautiful! Curious what size / style brushes you used on a small piece like this? Do you try to stick to the same brush or do you alternate them often? Thanks for all that you do!

Great scumbling. Funny word.

Another great video Phil- hitting the essentials like "form" "light" "va.ue" etc and explaining it well. Wish I'd had clear instruction like this years ago.

Thank you again for another informative lesson!

I really needed this tutorial. My painting was looking too blah with analogous colors. There was no cohesiveness or spark. I am self taught, but there is much to learn on KZbin. Thanks for your great contributions!

Thanks again for this very important reminder.

Thank you for showing the creation of the painting, it turned out so gorgeous. You are an amazing painter, for me if I stop somewhere in the middle I would be more than happy with the result.

It's very helpful! Watching the color temperature, value change, light contrast is hard but results in your paintings are awesome. Thank you!

Wonderfully helpful and a good reminder. Helped on a painting today! Thank you. 🙏🏼

Thank you Phil, this video is among the best available for this topic. Separating the warm and cool sides of the color wheel with red and green as independent neutrals really got the gears rolling. It's a concept I can easily put to use.

Very, very helpful! Thank you! Loved your comments about watercolor!

Maybe it's a bit off topic but how can you simulate in Photoshop the color mixing? I only can decide in terms of saturation, hue and value but is there a way to simulate, for example a mix of two points of the color wheel?

Yup "color harmony" will make your work look "consistent" too. A limited palette helps, I've used that lately to do paintings of Sedona, AZ, Indian red (of course you need red), Ultramarine blue and Hansa yellow, and white. And occasional touch of cad orange, for the "fifty guinea touches" as the great Ken Howard used to say. And a limited palette is nice for buying materials too, now that the national economy has falling off the cliff, and everything is expensive by two to four times, including tubes of paint. Take note poor kiddies!! :D Bonus: after doing about 50+ small paintings this summer, Every Single One looks like only one person painted them. Galleries like that, that you work looks the same from painting to painting, and not all over the place like ten guys did them, searching endlessly for their styles!! LOL ;D

Cheers.

Thanks again for another great video. I've noticed there are a quite a few shades of violet/purple that I can't seem to mix up using alizarin crimson and ultramarine blue pigments, although I do use those mostly. Do you ever use dioxazine purple in place of alizarin crimson and ultramarine blue?
