Hello, wow! Thanks so much for such an instructive tutorial. Would you be able to share the colours in your full pallet and the brand please! Many thanks.

[@JoeCartwright]

Glad you enjoyed it. I will be making a video soon covering all my materials as I often get asked for the same information.

[@ellf66]

@ that would be great. Thank you.

[@brunobenoit4179]

Hello Joe .Good. i enjoy this class. It Will serve me . Thank's. Please Joe what's the reference of your paint palette .

[@JoeCartwright]

If you are interested in my palette of colors you can watch this video. My palette, paints and how I use them kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnyreHyIh6ifadU My palette was designed and printed by me on my 3D printer. I then use a clear two part epoxy to seal the mixing areas to minimize staining. I do sell them, $60 Australian, plus postage. It takes me a few days to produce a new palette.

[@lynncondello6082]

Thaksfor clear instructions

[@JoeCartwright]

Glad it was helpful!

[@colinremmer2417]

Very interesting video Joe. Shoulld your three tones be the same thickness or consistency of paint when mixed or should the darker tones be of a slightly thicker consistency so they don't just all blend into the light tone? Because then the tree foliage can look flat (the problem I keep having). Your three mixes seemed to get thicker. Also, how do you stop your paint from drying so quickly in a warm/hot climate? Thanks for posting this

[@JoeCartwright]

Yes, my darker tones would each be a little thicker so they don't blend too much. It takes a bit of practice and observation to get it right. I wet the back of my paper (I have a video with covers that) and that gives me a lot more time to paint even in a warm climate. I also use a spray bottle to keep the surface workable, just in case. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGS2nYFtn8uriNk and kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqG6ZGtjYsaZe6M

[@prasadugaonkar]

Thanks.

[@JoeCartwright]

You're welcome

[@mariapazaristeaguirre4491]

Thanks. super clear explanation. And how did you paint those hills of last landscape? Very beautiful

[@JoeCartwright]

At some point I will be posting the the last landscape as a full demonstration. Not for a while yet as those videos can take me two weeks just to edit!

[@rosannako4694]

Thank you for sharing these useful tips! When we use light tone, mid tone and dark tone to paint trees, do we always have to stick to the same pigments but only vary the intensity only?

[@JoeCartwright]

Not always, but by using the same pigments you create a more harmonious composition. In art there are not hard and fast rules however.

[@rosannako4694]

Thank you for your prompt reply! 😀

[@annettefournier9655]

Thank you so much! I do love my sea sponge. My fan brush is not soft enough to splay and I've yet to find a soft synthetic one. I'll keep looking.

[@JoeCartwright]

You are welcome! I use a very stiff fan brush, not a soft one. Mine is made from hog hair which is bristle. The soft brushes don't splay ever but the bristle ones do, as long as the are not thick with hairs.

[@MARIECARMEN55]

I had the same question about the stiffness. Mine is hard to make marks with. Maybe I could let it soak a bit. @@JoeCartwright

[@JoeCartwright]

@@MARIECARMEN55 I use a hog hair fan brush, no need to soak, as you need stif bristles to make the marks like I make.

[@sandrafisher5444]

Nice lesson! Do you prefer the hog hair fan to other fan brushes to get the desired affect?

[@JoeCartwright]

Yes, definitely. The others are too soft.

[@MARIECARMEN55]

Great lesson. BTW, how did you paint the leaves in the foreground? Is that a sponge?

[@JoeCartwright]

No, a fan brush and rigger. Have a look at the last two and a half minutes of the video as I demonstrate how I do it there.

[@ingelamellgrenohlsson776]

Thanks for making me beleive in painting trees, which I always avoid.

[@JoeCartwright]

So glad you enjoyed my video. Good luck with your trees!
