LIGHT CHASER // Capture LIGHT in your Painting / Studio Oil - Impressionism / complimentary colours!

Today I'm demonstrating how to capture light in your painting with the use of colour combinations and tonal values. I will be using warm against cool (complimentary) colours to achieve a startling affect of light! Colour placement is the key to achieving those fleeting moments in time.
This demonstration will be done on a red oxide toned canvas, helping to achieve the desired result. I will be using Art Spectrum - an Australian brand - oil paint and palette knifes. These affects could be achieved with acrylic paint also.
Stick around and watch the painting develop as I explain my techniques and reasoning as I go!

Üdvözöllek Richard! A stílusod nagyon eltér a többi festőtől. Aprólékos precíz a munkád. Gratulálok Ezzel a kis versemmel. Álmok Szellők szárnyán leszáll az éj. Nappalnak csendben helyébe lép. Az égen milliárdnyi csillagok. Fényük egyre csak ragyog. Üzennek az embereknek. Bánatot, bút feledjenek. Küldenek egy csodás álmot. Háborúk nélküli VILÁGOT! Szalianna Hungary

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Ez nagyszerű költészet! Köszönöm!

[@131dyana]

I have learned a lot from you about where to start and how to mix colors. At 77 it is not too late to learn new things. thank you. I am a classical painter but love watching you.

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Thanks Dyana, happy to help!

Oui, j'ai aimé utiliser des couleurs fortes dans cette peinture! Je vous remercie!

[@Zeleniyyuriy]

Ричард, Вы продемонстрировали науку цветоведения на практике. При этом создали абсолютно фантастическое состояние. Правдивое и не реальное.

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Большое спасибо!

[@jackiemargaret437]

Sometimes I wonder at what point do choices become instinct ... and experience leads the way. Your eye is super charged Richard to find the light! ... what a blessing for us all.

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Thanks Jackie! I think plenty of painting practice helps a lot!!!

[@artistpatriciavandennieuwe6057]

Once again fantastic . I can never see a sun rise from a distant especially being nestled between mountains here in Canberra. This session reminds me of the mindi mindi plain just off Silverton in Brokenhill which made me cry for the shear beauty. On that trip the horizon was more than flat I could see the curvature of the earth- just beautiful. Thank you Richard

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Glad you enjoyed it Patricia! I do love the Mundi Mundi Plains myself!

Hey many thanks 😊

[@CosMosArtistry2016]

G'day Richard. Another creative sunset to stimulate the senses into how beautiful the outback is. I too love magenta, as a photographer it is a beautiful colour to balance the cooler tones and give a warmer feel when editing. You can only get that feel of the outback by being there or having experienced it and you bring that in spades mate. An enjoyable and learning experience once again. Cheers, Rich.

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

G'day CosMos Artistry, yes, magenta is a great colour! I just love the outback, there is a special energy there that is great for recharging ones batteries! Cheers :-)

Awesome work as always, Richard. Can I request that you do some vids where the canvas fills the frame of the camera so that we may see what you're doing up close? Thanks, cheers!

Very nice! I was worried that the blue along the left side of the horizon was a bit distracting, but it worked well.

I like how do you mixing and describing of colours.Have you paint the early morning dawn with foggy mist on bank if yes what colours did you use? Your painting is Mesmerizing!

I also love the fact that you use magenta. Not many people remember or know the color magenta.

[@dalepointer9312]

A myriad of hues/ A mixture of timbre/ light disfused/ And the onset of ember/ The horizon aflame/ The sky shimmering glow/ Absent of rain/ Nature's magical show/ And the motion of light/ The piercing yellow rays/ Closing of night/ Closing of days/ And the artist's work is done/ Now to frame/ The painting now hung/ With the artist's name/

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

LOVE it! Thanks Dale, keep them coming!!!
