How To Make Color Decisions in Your Landscape Painting Compositions

[@Risvegli_esposizione]

I am struggling with making shadow in the "warm section" of the painting. How do I make a warm shadow? Thank you for the lesson. I was also stumped on how to make beige/dirt color. This really helped. I have watched a ton of videos on color mixing BUT have only found 2 on color mixing to match a color that is needed for a painting.

Excellent video Phil- choosing colors is always a challenge, as is getting the right values- really neat to see the different temperature greens in the trees, and different color choices- all subtle, but it makes a big difference in adding in that vibration you spoke of. The hardest part about painting is "thinking like an artist would", and adding in all those little,changes that make a big difference. Hard to get past our "memory of how things look" (ie trees are green, oceans blue, sky blue etc.) And adding in variety that we don't ordinarily see in our mind for how it should be according to memory. Our memory says "green grass" but not "blue green, yellow green, used green, more vibrant green, redish green, violet green etc etc etc". Would like to see a video,on how,you,choose colors based on how they react with other "near colors"- and discuss which color combos work well, and which ones are garish and not so good to place next to others.

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks! I will consider that. Usually the colors get garish when I use too many unnatural colors like thalo blue and green or viridian or a tubed violet. when I mix those colors with more natural colors like ultra blue, cad yellow light, alizarin crimson I get better harmony. Just use the other colors for accents and they work better.

[@Nazareth434]

@@philstarke.artist thank you for thr reply, good info on those colors from the tube.

[@ChristineR-oe7kn]

Hello Phil. I am Christine from France. Your videos are extremely helpful . I am using acrylics and often struggling with colour mixing. So my question is : can I follow the same process that you describe in your oil painting videos ? Thank you Phil.

[@philstarke.artist]

Yes you can Christine, the acrylics done blend as easy as oils but all the principles are the same

[@ChristineR-oe7kn]

Thank you 😊

[@vonkunstler884]

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

[@philstarke.artist]

I use both bristle and synthetic brushes. I block in with bristle and finish with synthetic. I do paint on gessoed boards a lot, I apply 2 coats of gesso that gives some texture, I would rather not paint on a slick board, nothing for the paint to grab hold of

[@annsmith3192]

wonder if he does this outside or does he use the colors he sees outside for his sketch-?

[@philstarke.artist]

Hi Ann, this was a studio painting and I used an outdoor color sketch and photos

[@Coco2345ful]

Color variation...broken color are the same to me....am I right?

[@philstarke.artist]

Yes Dee, they are the same.

[@appleorchard4269]
