Quick Tip 153 - Painterly Painting

[@Lilix-nm1xh]

Somebody make this viral please. I love her.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

😊

[@candacetroystudios]

Love this demo! Such a good reminder for covering a canvas with minimal brush strokes. Second time watching this. Thank you again!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Always a pleasure.

[@lahaza6515]

I feel bless to have found this today! What a wonderful teacher. Thank you so so much for doing your videos.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@Nottherebutthere]

Thank God. Someone finally that has thought deeply about this subject and exposes the painterly tyranny.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Trends! An ubiquitous tendency among art critics is to grab on to some characteristic that folks admire and make a dogma out of it. We have to watch out for that.

[@shellyenglandart]

I suppose I’ve heard all 4 of these tips at one point or another, but never together as combined tips to paint more confidently/painterly. I look forward to practicing this. Thank you!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Enjoy!

[@borealiswan2363]

Great exercise ! I think I could turn this into a daily morning warm-up, like a new habit to build up skills, thank you for the demo !☺

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

What a great idea.

[@deborahsmith4109]

Excellent idea.

[@alkasarin1073]

I do that

[@DianaMoon11428]

Agree. At first I was skeptical. Now I'm a convert. Thanks, Dianne!

[@jasononderstal5749]

You’ve been a tremendous help to me with all of your videos. Thank you so much for everything you do!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

It's my pleasure. Thanks for watching.

[@cynthiachoate2536]

Excellent teacher. Best I’ve seen!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Wow!

[@josecarlosbetancor1275]

I´m a spanish lady who is pretending to learn how to paint. Your tutorials are helping me a lot. You explained very well. Thanks a lot

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

I am delighted.

[@highlightfilmstv]

What a wonderful teacher. You are so sweet. Thank you Diane.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thank you, Allen. I love doing these.

[@rosarebada4777]

That was such helpful instruction. Your experience is golden. It's such a pleasure to learn from your quick tips. Thank you and blessings.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks. It's a pleasure to share.

[@potsrme]

What a fantastic exercise! I think I am going to do one of these a day and I’m sure it will change the way I paint. Thanks so much Dianne.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

There's no time like the present 😊

[@pradeepjhuboo9458]

Thank you madam, always a pleasure to watch from a powerhouse of experience in painting. May we continue to get tips on problem areas...God bless!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Yes, definitely. Thanks for watching.

[@davidgupta9248]

This is soooo helpful Dianne!👍 You are by far my favourite you tube art instructer!👌 I'm thankful to God that I have found you!🙂 take care and stay safe 💐

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Wow, thank you!

[@jackiegrant410]

Having only started to create/paint three years ago (57 years old). I was faced with a compliment just last week, someone who I have never met before sent me a wonderful message. She wrote saying that she felt the need to contact me and tell me that I have “obvious painterly intelligence”. Now, being new to painting, I hadn’t a clue really want she meant, so, I checked it out, which made alot of sense to me. Everything is connected and now I have stubbled across this wonderful explanatory tutorial. Thank you. 💖

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Fun stuff, isn't it.

[@peterwilliamson4296]

Keep up the good work Jackie,

[@oakpark8555]

I find your videos so exciting and useful. With almost no art training, seeing how you use the brush to make a stroke is so important. Your delivery and teaching style are wonderful. Thank you for giving us the really basic basics. I have taken some adult painting classes and have been so disappointed when they say take your paint and paint this. The paint marks look just awful. Now I know why.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

I am delighted these Tips are helpful.

[@boutchie06]

Excellent! I will watch this again and look for more videos by this teacher!👩‍🎨🎨🖼️❤

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@claraedouwesdekker6389]

Diane, I am so grateful I found you! Bless you, and thank you for sharing with us.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

I'm glad you found us, too. Thanks for watching.

[@acimo4766]

Dianne, thanks for the art lesson, I think you are a great instructor.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks. I enjoy doing these.

[@johnnymartinez6123]

Thank you again, you AWESOME Teacher. Love watching your painting classes.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks, Johnny.

[@atroutflycrazy8057]

Not just a quick tip but a great tip thankyou Dianne😊 i recently painted 2 small canvas limiting myself to a set time for each and it was honestly so enjoyable, the 2 little paintings were more lively and painterly and in some ways so much better than some paintings i spent 5 times as long on. It was a revelation to me .

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Wonderful!

[@ritu.sharma]

You are the best teacher on KZbin Diane

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Ah, thanks.

[@brianleblancart736]

You may be my new Helen Van Wyk. You have a very matter of fact approach that I absolutely love. Thank you for your time.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

I don't mind at all being your new Helen Van Wyk. I learned more from her than I learned in art school. Thanks.

[@naveedamalick2717]

you are soooo adorable!. I would love to watch you everyday for painting motivation, which i need daily. Also, you are such a great teacher . Much love

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thank you so much!

[@tigerlily7246]

not only are you are a talented artist but you're a gifted instructor. Thank you.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

☺

[@oraleashoward]

What a great response. Exactly what I've been looking for!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Wonderful!

[@annehenderson9207]

Thank-you so much for your excellent instructions and the inspiring demonstration. I'm a watercolourist (tight and controlled!) starting into acrylic painting and wanting so badly to loosen up. You showed me how I can start doing just that. Love the "10 strokes" approach--no over-working!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Wonderful. The 10 Stroke exercise works well with any medium.

[@maryellenhill4121]

You are so generous and enjoyed by me. Your tips have helped me very much. Thanks.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

It's a pleasure.

[@coralynturentine5806]

This makes sense! Thank you. I've not been able to wrap my brain around what makes "painterly" look painterly. This is helpful.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Wonderful.

[@deborahsmith4109]

Hello Diane. Although I mostly paint in watercolor, I always learn something from you. Thank you so much. Overworking kills any watercolor painting, so your exercise is helpful to us watercolor artists and to help anyone paint more expressively and with confidence.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Great. No matter what material we use, some principles are universal. Overworking is one of them.

[@michaelricketson1365]

I like that you recognize that there are different styles and ways of painting. I get an impression from many instructors that they believe their way of painting is the only correct way.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks, Michael. Looking at painting historically will, within itself, prove those instructors wrong.

[@fadijurdi1212]

You are an amazing teacher. Thank you

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thank YOU!

[@rebanelson607]

This 5x7 10 stroke exercise is just what I need to work on at this time! Many thanks!!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

You got this!

[@howlingwind1937]

Thank you for the videos, I stumble on you as I was flicking through the list of KZbin videos and thank goodness I found you! Ive never really understood about loose and painterly or stiff painting, and the use of fewer brush strokes, I was counting them all wrong, but I better understand it now. Cheers!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Welcome aboard. I, too, am glad you found us.

[@rezahosseinzadehnasser993]

Yes you are right. The goal is to put life into the painting, and your teaching is great. Thanks a lot.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks. I think every master painter agrees that the life of the painting is more important than making it look photographic.

[@fionajenkins5047]

Hi , I am so glad to have found you on you tube. I am an amateur painter and just can not get enough of people’s work. However I have watched several of your demonstrations and I am sure I will learn a great deal from them. Thank you .

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Welcome aboard.

[@jenniferregan8855]

I found this video super helpful. As a beginner, it is easy to overwork a piece trying to get it to look like the reference. This is an excellent practice that when you finish your ten strokes, you're done. Helps you to plan out what parts of the pic you want to paint to make it look realistic such as the shadowing.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

So glad you found this helpful. Do a lot of practice studies limiting yourself to ten strokes and you will see how it will transform your painting.

[@AmandaMG6]

I love this and your channel. I’m binging them nonstop ☺️♥️🙏🏼 thank you

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Yay! Thank you!

[@shanemiller285]

Thank you again wanted you to know I make sure I'm up by 430 am every morning just so I can wach some of your videos on painting and after that I paint intell 730 off to work thank you very big help and a wonderful teacher

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

You are so welcome

[@kathygardner5316]

Wonderful! I'm excited to try this calisthenic exercise. Thank you ☺️

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Have fun with it!

[@jonathano.7109]

I'm trying this tomorrow. Thank you for being such a great artist and great teacher! I

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Have fun with it.

[@vanessajmcintosh]

Brilliant exercise, will definitely try it today! Thanks so much!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

You're so welcome! Have fun with it.

[@Mr104752]

What a gifted instructor thank you.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Happy painting!

[@eileenneumann9855]

What an encouraging person. Thank you

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Always a pleasure.

[@roselynbaruch3697]

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching.

[@TheJackieryan]

That a great exercise! Thanks Dianne

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks. Hope you will try it.

[@joanistotler8804]

I know that's an area I need - going to try it right now - thanks for the fun quick tip, Dianne!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Do many!

[@patriciasteedle7467]

This is also a great lesson for non-starters like me to get a start. I feel like, after a long time off, I could tackle this!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

It's a great way to warm up or to break through a painter's block.

[@DS40764]

What a wonderfully helpful lesson. Thank you for your continued contributions.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

My pleasure.

[@patriciasteedle7467]

Excellent lesson! Thank you!!

[@shirleypolo6272]

Thank you so much. I just discovered your tutorial videos. Going to try this and load more paint on the brush and use less strokes.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Try doing lots of practice studies so that this becomes automatic.

[@markkarules]

This was so useful! I have to paint my mug immediately

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Have fun with it.

[@DS40764]

Thank you for this Practical exercise. That is my goal to paint in the Molina painterly style. Lay down the paint and let it go. I have noticed when I have done this, my paintings have been better and I don't overdo.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

And that's a wonderful practice.

[@laurataggart8018]

I always wondered how to approach that exercise. Thanks!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Happy to help!

[@muhlenstedt]

This was so interesting and funny, very good for moments of no painting mojo I think, it revives the process .Please Diane, could you speak more about the backgrounds from Richard Schmid still lives?I can not understand how he uses lots of color there, but so welll that the background beeing colorful and busy does not steals the viewer attention from the main object.Thanks

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Muhlenstedt, because Richard Schmid's paintings are under copyright, I cannot show them without written permission from him. However, I can speak to his still life backgrounds here. If you study his backgrounds closely, you will notice that when they ARE colorful, he has used colors from the still life subject itself. (Not many of his still life paintings are available on his website www.richardschmid.com/Articles.asp?ID=254 , but you can see what I'm referring to by looking at those featured. ) Richard is a master of color. You'll notice that where backgrounds are colorful. the values are close and the intensity muted. You'll also notice that for the most part, his strong value contrasts are in the subject, not the background. Hope this helps.

[@muhlenstedt]

In the Studio Art Instruction thank you very much, you have an structured way of seeing and thatis what I was missing in my own observations.We wish Richard Schmid a longer and productive life.have a great weekend Diane!

[@paulinehughes5325]

Thanks a great refresher, always good to take in your demos

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching.

[@TheWicklunds25]

"Painterly"... What I took it to mean is that a painting looks like a painting and not an image that has been exacted and over-calculated. An interesting term for an artist to define. If you're a more cerebral type.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Not really. Painterly is simply a term to describe one of many processes painters can use.

[@maryqualls6959]

I enjoy you so much, and have really needs the quick tips. Thank you.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks.

[@57mobird]

Hi, Dianne, do you ever do an overall background color first, before sketching or anything else? I've heard this called "toning" or painting a "ground" color. Second, do you have tips for making difficult shapes, such as the ellipse of the cup like in your exercise here? You make it look so easy. I've seen 3 of your videos so far and have gotten a LOT out of them already - thank you! Gina

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Gina, toning the canvas is a favorite of many artists and I have used it from time to time. The technique is a wonderful way to keep color harmony. I will put on our schedule a Quick Tip for making difficult shapes.

[@57mobird]

Thank you!

[@MrHeli4444]

Wonderful video, thank you.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@annettecarnicom7847]

This was very helpful! Thank you

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

You're so welcome!

[@FoxFireVA]

Thank you So much Dianne. Do you have a patreon page where we can support these videos and your wonderful teaching?

[@1janhelene]

What great teaching and talent! I have seen several Quick Tips and have signed up for your newsletter on your site and would like to start. Is there a starting point on your site, like for example, required materials, which lesson to begin with drawing or painting, etc ?

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Janice, the lessons are built in series. Each series deals with a specific composition principle. I show you how to make it a tool rather than a rule to follow. In order to get a sense of how I teach, I suggest starting with Series 1 & 2. Beyond that, you can choose by topic because I've created these to stand alone. In each of the lessons, I do a study rather than aim towards a finished painting so whatever materials you have will most likely work. For the colors I use, before beginning each lesson, I explain the palette. I hope this helps.

[@hangingoutwithronwalters4505]

Thank you for all of your quick tips!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

It's a pleasure.

[@lucianotradus]

Great video!

[@jamesstojko174]

Great video. Did you use a medium for this exercise?

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

No. I rarely use medium. It's not necessary when using paint of the right consistency.

[@fatimabhatti13]

this was very helpful! thank you.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

You're welcome!

[@sunnyadams3504]

Very useful excise. Thanks.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Glad it was helpful!

[@OneTrueWord1988]

Do you have a similar exercise for watercolor painters? Thank you!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

No, sorry. The closest watercolor process to what we would call painter painting in watercolor is the one invented by the late Nita Engle . There's not much available on KZbin about her, but her book - How to Make a Watercolor Paint Itself - is available on Amazon, and you can see a tiny sample of her paintings at art.state.gov/personnel/nita_engle/

[@cathyserafinowicz6374]

That was a great tip,thank you so much. ❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

You are so welcome!

[@bellaboozy]

Love this! Thank you 😊 💓

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

You're so welcome!

[@tomomyuu]

this was super helpful!! i wonder if i can somehow try this with watercolor too...?

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Sure. Give it a try. The only thing you will adjust is the technique. I think beginning wet on damp would do the trick.

[@MrPuddinhead61]

How exciting Diane! Wonderful addition to my daily art “calisthenics”. I do have a question: I am a watercolor apprentice - does this exercise apply equally to watercolor, i.e. more strokes, fewer strokes, different approach, etc.? I would appreciate your advice as to how this exercise relates to watercolor. Thank you so much!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Oh yes, it can be done in watercolor and with exciting results. I suggest you begin with damp paper and work as quickly as you can. Use limited colors. In fact, it might be a good idea to begin with a single dark color since you have water to control the values. Once you get it working with one color, try it with two colors. Beyond that, everything I taught here applies. Let me know how it works for you.

[@MrPuddinhead61]

In the Studio Art Instruction - thank you so much, Diane! That really helps me.

[@digambarkulkarni5721]

Very nice lesson.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks.

[@johnnywhite1681]

Very helpful, thank you. Just love your videos!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Enjoy!

[@krkabob]

What a great idea for the exercise:-) Thank you.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks. I hope you give it a try.

[@peterkowalenko2553]

Just what I needed? Thanks so Much.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

My pleasure.

[@olgaroberts-vanveenendaal9288]

Thank you very much! It was very interesting and new for me( I always use very small brushes). I will definitely try to do it tomorrow! ))

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

You'll be surprised as the difference in your work when you use larger sizes in larger areas.

[@olgaroberts-vanveenendaal9288]

I dont believe my eyes it s such a big difference if i hold paintbrush i your way ! Thank you!

[@TheWicklunds25]

Maybe "painterly" as it applies to style is more indicative of an abstraction of motion versus a tightness of control. Even saying it there is still a space for experience to make up for a lack of abstraction of motion. One could be subtle and build a strong kingdom and one could be mechanical and build a tiny model building. "He spoke and it stood fast."

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

That's a good way of saying it.
