Do Your Paintings Need RICHER Color?

[@alisonmike2912]

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned I'd entered my first competition, I've entered a painting and a piece of pottery, well I find out hopefully tomorrow if I've made it through the first round of judging, I'll let you know what happens. It's only a very small gallery but I'm really excited.

[@MalcolmDewey]

best of luck Alison!

[@Heidi.M]

[@MalcolmDewey]

Thank you

[@nickybomont6074]

Once again thank you Malcolm. Informative but especially good explanation as always. 😊👏

[@MalcolmDewey]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ineseedwards9489]

Thank you Malcolm … wow what an eye opener ! I realized there were colours with transparency but had not noticed the little square - fascinating demo - thank you 😊😊

[@MalcolmDewey]

Thank you Inese

[@vesnabreskvar9082]

Thank you Malcolm for this lesson! I think it will take a lot of practice to make these transparent paints obey me😄 Usualy something different is done at the end than I intend at the begining 😆 I always admire your routine and spontaneity when you make such a wonderful painting in such a short time!

[@MalcolmDewey]

You can do it Vesna, thank you.

Thank you Malcolm for this informative video

[@MalcolmDewey]

You are very welcome

[@sheenawilson8178]

Thank you Malcolm, I always look forward to your informative and interesting videos and the reward of a beautiful painting demo. I will certainly look for the little square box on my tubes of paint from now on, till I get to know which is which from lots of practice 😁

[@MalcolmDewey]

Thank you. Sounds like a good plan 😊

[@dawn1153]

Thank you. I'd not thought of oils being transparent or opaque. A new angle for me.

[@user-xt2dz8oe7c]

Thanks to you I now understand my dislike for the result of mixing whites into paints. Will watch this again many times and practise following along with your landscape painting 😁🎨

[@MalcolmDewey]

Glad this helped you. Thank you

[@user-xt2dz8oe7c]

I followed your instructions and created this same painting: a good lesson, thanks so much!

[@MalcolmDewey]

Good to hear that, thanks

[@parfischer2899]

I found that really useful, I’ve watched it twice….will look at my tubes and watch it again after I’ve done a little scene using your example….

[@MalcolmDewey]

Glad it was helpful!

[@juliegriffiths4272]

Thank you again, I hadn't noticed the little square before. I'm using acrylics at the moment, I looked at my assortment of makes, mostly Daler Rowney, the better quality ones have the little square the others don't Another very useful piece info, geesh, I've got so much to learn.

[@MalcolmDewey]

😄Glad it was helpful!

[@Jacksbox11]

Thanks, Malcolm! I value your advice. Blessings!💜

[@MalcolmDewey]

You are welcome, thanks.

[@dihan7574]

Very informative thankyou Great demo

[@MalcolmDewey]

Glad you liked it Di

[@yelenafurer541]

Thank you, it's a difficult subject, I'm struggling right now as a beginner to feel it. It will take lots of practice. It seems so easy for you, your colors are always very vibrant!

[@MalcolmDewey]

You can do it! Yes practice, but without pressure or stress, simply let it happen.

[@iloveFreedom.]

😎🎶Thankyou . I must check your courses out. Light and v informative

[@MalcolmDewey]

Any time!

[@---Dana----]

I looked up 'opaque ' in the dictionary but it wasn't very clear. 😁 Thank you, Malcolm.

[@MalcolmDewey]

Haha 😄

[@jauharacare2679]

Great tutorial. I hope it has been done in acrylic also because I am allergic to oils.

[@ilmasfutehally]

Thanks Malcolm! Another important aspect to keep in mind! Hopefully it comes instinctively after a while?

[@MalcolmDewey]

Yes, everything improves with practice.

[@alisonmike2912]

Just had an email, my painting didn't make it through which I'm really disappointed about but my pottery did make it to the shortlist so that is going to be exhibited which I'm very excited about. Prize giving is on the 22 nd of August so fingers crossed .

[@MalcolmDewey]

Congratulations!

[@susanhumphreys6708]

No sound

[@MalcolmDewey]

Sound works fine - have you perhaps turned off sound?

[@malouevidente4918]

Do you paint flowers?

[@MalcolmDewey]

Very occasionally. Still life in general is something I should get to.

[@Eva-iy6vy]

Watching you paint it all looks so simple.. But it is not.

[@MalcolmDewey]

Not easy, but achievable. Thank you

[@neelumahendra4695]
