Mastering Impressionist PAINTING Techniques: Part 3 - The Power of Color and Light

In the third part of our Impressionist Painting Techniques series, we delve into the fascinating world of color. Learn about the Impressionist's use of color to describe light and emotion, the technique of broken color, and why they abandoned the use of black. Discover the real color of shadows and how using complementary colors can create a sense of luminosity in your paintings. We also discuss what colors to use on your palette and the importance of understanding luminosity. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, this video is packed with useful information, tips, and examples that you can use in your own paintings.

Art like music is supposed to elicit an emotion. Impressionism really gets my inspiration flowing. Some of the paintings are just amazing with the use of colour. The old masters do nothing for me despite their technical mastery. Thanks Malcom for reawakening my artistic desire again.

[@MalcolmDewey]

Excellent. Enjoy it.

[@sheenawilson8178]

I’m really enjoying this series, thank you Malcolm, the more I watch your videos, the more I practice and things begin to “click”. Ever so grateful 😘 looking forward to the next one!

[@MalcolmDewey]

Thanks Sheena, I'm happy to hear that.

[@brennakohlhase4194]

This is very informative and inspiring!

[@MalcolmDewey]

Thank you!

[@teresamiller3513]

This is a great series of introductory videos that introduce and explain impressionistic painting .Each video is a treasure box of condensed information about the impressionist painters and what they are attempting to present in their paintings. I appreciated learning about the science behind pairing complementary colors beside each other. Your perspective of pointillism was also helpful. I now understand that the type of painting we are doing when following your courses and instructions is a contemporary use of impressionism. Thank you again for a great lesson video.

[@MalcolmDewey]

It's a pleasure Teresa, thank you

[@theponderingpilgrim4342]

A wonderful insight into how the Impressionists interpreted colour Malcolm. I luv how the Impressionists captured shadows. The violets look so much better than black. The videos in this series are pure gold, many thanks for posting them Malcolm.

Very good series

Thank you very much

[@callmedeno]

Just for anyone who can't quite justify the expensive artist paints, Lukas has their artist range that it is relatively inexpensive and they are by far the best I've found for workability straight out of the tube, better than Windsor and Newton which are much more expensive. I haven't noticed the colours to be much less vibrant too, they are probably the best price / quality balance I've found.

[@MalcolmDewey]

Thanks, good to know!

[@annameier5000]

Ваша живопись прекрасна...смотрю уже третий день...очень интересно ...но жаль что нет русских субтитров .. Хотелось бы иногда услышать о чем вы говорите. ..Но мне многое понятно . .так как я,немного знаю немецкий...и язык живописи понятен на всех языках...Импрессионизм мне очень нравится. Нравятся передвижники такие как Клод Монэ.... И в вашем стиле живопись выглядит очень красиво !!!! ❤😊 Большое спасибо !

[@MalcolmDewey]

Спасибо. Если у вас будет достаточное количество русских зрителей, я смогу получить русские субтитры. 😄 I hope that came out correct.

[@annameier5000]

@@MalcolmDewey Я вас ни кому не покажу...не хочу чтобы вас другие видели...только я .... 😁🤣👍♥️🌸....Я и так немного понимаю Английский по жестам...😁😅😉....У меня есть очень много фото . ..природы ..Австрии ..может вам выслать несколько ...вы могли бы по ним писать. этюды .. .если конечно вы дорогой Malcolm захотите ?

[@valeriemelman5639]

Wonderful, Malcolm! What brand of paint are you using here?

[@MalcolmDewey]

Thanks - some Maimeri Classico and Rembrandt

[@alisonmike2912]

When I'm adding colour on top of other colours I sometimes have trouble getting the top colour to stick , it just doesn't always , yours always seems to though .

[@MalcolmDewey]

It may be the softness of the paint. It must be buttery. Second is the motion of the brush must be quick and light so as not to pick up the under layer. Finally no mediums or very little as they make the paint slippery.

[@alisonmike2912]

Thank you ,I'll try that . I've stopped using mediums completely except for when I sign my paintings at the end.

[@janethomas9360]

Thank you so much,Malcolm for sharing your knowledge with we beginners. Fant.astic à d encouraging
