Excellent video, when I looked at your paintings I always wondered about the process and what the idea would be behind each aspect of the painting, the broken color is what intrigues me the most

[@philstarke.artist]

I've only seen one painting of his in person, you might see if you can find it online or send an image of the painting to the curator of European art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

[@r.rodriguez1663]

This is so good! You are great as communicator, and the edition is also excellent. (The final piece deserves to hang in a very nice wall)

[@philstarke.artist]

Thank you!

[@ronschlorff7089]

Also, Phil, your comments about "paint waste" are good, and bring to mind what a couple of workshop teachers used to say about paint, and how much to put out, and use on your work. One said, "Paint like a millionaire", which does not work in the past few years as even many millionaires are no longer millionaires due to the absolutely dreadful economy for everything, including art supplies! Another was to ask us "What your most valuable thing is when painting", many would say their brushes or paints, being so expensive, and he'd say, "No, it's you Time; you can't buy more". And finally, the best one from a teacher, who, seeing our "miserly and stingy" use of paint, on both the palette and the painting, "Forcrisskes, Use Some Paint!!! They'll make more!" LOL ;D

[@philstarke.artist]

Thats good, thanks Ron

[@tammyhernandez3179]

[@philstarke.artist]

You"re welcome!

[@coindesigner7477]

Thank you so much Phil for this video!! I've learned a lot from your explanation!...Great job on the painting, and adding the human element just added more interest. You've added broken colour throughout the entire piece...brilliant :-)

[@philstarke.artist]

You're welcome

[@sylviefleurant6138]

That was a masterful lesson! Thank you so much.

You're welcome

[@desotopete]

This is so refreshing. Thanks.

[@philstarke.artist]

You are so welcome!

[@ronschlorff7089]

Nice one Phil. Good to see the whole painting process, please do more. Yes Yosemite, a great park, and good place to paint, talk about a" kid in a candy store" for the plein air painter. But with tons of tourists there, all taking selfies, and seemed very little interested in what I was doing, which was pretty darn great for me!!!! :D When I painted there a few times I did mostly small ones 8x10, 9x12. Mostly of the "post card" views, Half Dome, El Cap., and the waterfalls, which should be roaring this year since they got lots of snow this winter. Off season, like March, is good too, some snow still, like you showed at times in your picture, and very few tourists!! I took few pictures then, wish I had, since I'm not likely to go back there.

[@tissy327]

Phil, did you wait for things to get a bit tacky before doing the final details of the trees, riders & horses? It seems difficult to add detail wet on wet. Love your work! Thanks !

[@philstarke.artist]

I did do the final details of the horse and riders after it was dry, but I do as much as I can wet into wet first.

[@didgeridooblue]

You don't place your scraped off paint into a jar with mineral spirits for later use as a base layer, or as a grey?

[@ronschlorff7089]

Yes, for those who tone canvas or board, to get a neutral gray color, that would be good. I used to do that with acrylics when I mostly painted wildlife which benefit from a neutral background color, and for mid-tone values, as you paint. Today, I mostly paint on a white panel board for oil landscapes, plein air and all prima, since they often need to be "luminous", and toning only diminishes that.

[@philstarke.artist]

No, I sometimes use it as a neutral color base, but most of the time I just throw it away

[@reneekroyer5104]

For the other colors in the sky -- the aliz crimson, orange and phalo green color (I think that is what you said it was), do you mix each one with white? I like that light vibration look as you mentioned. This was a very helpful video. Thank you for posting this video.

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks, yes i used white to get all the colors in the sky the same value

[@reneekroyer5104]

@@philstarke.artist Thank you. Did you use titanium white or a different kind of white (one that is not opaque)? Thanks again.

[@sivenandaramsamy3856]
