I see you mixing the colours on your pallet then applying them to the canvas but the camera is so far away that the colours look too similar, the variations are hardly visible . Nevertheless I take notes & try mixing them myself. Once again, thank you for being so generous.

However, I neglected to address the brush holder and the solvent cup. The solvent cup hangs from a little clip designed to hand things from the pochade box and the brush cup I made myself. It, too, is attached to a little hanger especially designed for pochade boxes.

Logan, the greens and yellow greens need to have a bit of yellow added back in, the violets and red-violets require a bit of red, but the blues hold up relatively well, since blue is already the coolest color.

Oh my goodness? First, for a color to appear vibrant, it must be surrounded by other colors that enhance its vibrancy. The quinacridone colors are clean and clear and with a bit of white added can create fuchsia. Depending upon the brand, a Quinacridone magenta plus white will come close when surrounded by a strong dark. For some brands, adding a tiny bit of ultramarine blue and/or Quinacridone rose might be necessary. Experiment.

@IntheStudioArtInstruction6 жыл бұрын
Joe, the answer is no. There is no good formula for which color to use for warming, but the best bet is to chose according to the color wheel the warmest analogous color. For example, for purple, red will warm it. For blue, either purple or green will warm it, depending upon in which direction the blue leans.

@IntheStudioArtInstruction Жыл бұрын
Stephen, getting the brightest white depends upon the colors surround the white rather than the white itself. That kind of contrast is possible when a tiny a complement of the surrounding color is added to white, and/or strong value contrast. For example, if you are making clouds in a blue sky, a tiny bit of orange (complement of blue) mixed into the lightest part of the cloud will make it appear bright.

To everyone whose teachers told them not to use white: get a new teacher. It's obvious to me calling them morons is insulting to morons everywhere. As for adding yellow of any kind to your white to add to all your colors? This ignores the fact that yellows neutralize certain colors, like violets and blue violets and violet blues. You want brilliant versions of these colors to paint flowers or dresses or abstracts? Avoid yellows like the plague. You want to tone them down, mute them in some way? Yellows and oranges are very useful. Heck, people, LOOK at the real world. Try and make colors to imitate what you see. Then you might come to realize that color exaggerations and value oppositions are often needed in the painting to get that real effect you might be wanting. ANY advice given to painters that tries to cover every aspect of whatever that artist is going to try and paint is bogus. I don't care WHO gives it. If anyone does not believe my claims; fine. Facts are facts and bulls*&t can hit the road. EXPERIMENT! I was given enough bad advice by my art teachers in high school to help me ruin many a painting. A few teachers I've run across were worth their weight in gold and even mere minutes spent listening to them and watching them were worth weeks of lessons from other teachers.

@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Please don't be disingenuous. First, I am not angry, although I am impatient with the way a lot of painting and color theory is taught. As for what I'm trying to say, please read my entire comment about how yellows can affect certain colors. For every good art instructor I've run across, I've run across five who know little to nothing about the hows and whys of what they're doing. I can get a lot of good out of your video here, but I've been painting and been interested in painting for over five decades and counting. From reading the comments below, it's obvious to me a good percentage of your viewers are committing the necessary sin of being a newbie, as I once was many, many moons ago. As such, they are unaware of knowing even the basic 101 rudiments of color mixing. My high school art teachers seemed to be afraid of giving their students useful information as far as the rudiments of knowing something about their materials. I thought it was a problem only my school had. Imagine my chagrin in discovering this anus way of teaching is not only widespread but is done on PURPOSE. I asked a retired art teacher about it and she told me it was no accident and I asked her why. Ready? "So the children can learn to be creative and find their own muse." Imagine if English is taught this way. No spelling, no punctuation, etc. Imagine wanting to write a story when crippled by such tomfoolery. I told her my thoughts on that--politely--and she blew up on me. If these thoughts mean nothing to you, then fine: you're on my shit list. If not, we can talk, even if we disagree, and you' be on my short list.
