Quick Tip 113 - Colors that Glow

[@patrickcharles7190]

Beginners have an advantage that I didn't have when I started out - youtube and your channel. Not many yt channels help. I recommend this channel and one other...only. People should write these tips down and refer back. We follow so many guidelines, while painting, that it's easy to forget some basic rules. This tip applies when trying to display and kind of light. Bravo!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks for your support.

[@misterbonzoid]

I never went to art school but do now paint. You teach me so much that I need to know, so quickly: thank you.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

That's good to know. Thanks.

[@gigigirl56]

I went to art school but sometimes they don't give you all these tips and you are swimming or sinking if you know what I mean.

[@victoriamilk4999]

you are very smart and explain things so well! thank you!

[@1798davis]

Have so much more to learn. Didn't realize there's so much a person needs to learn to make a beautiful work of art. Thank God I scrolled upon on your channel. I truly am learning so much from you and so excited as well as thankful for your selflessness with your knowledge.

[@KathyBath]

Great video Dianne. How could you do this with watercolour where you can't put lighter colours on top of dark?

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Kathy, in watercolor we'd do this backwards by beginning with the higher intensity colors first: brighter yellow, then surround it damp into damp with the darker yellow, then surround that, damp into damp, with the neutral. On some papers, such as Waterford, you can begin with the neutral, lift out back to the white paper just after it looses its gloss, then while still damp, drop in the yellows, but that's a bit more tricky.

[@esling77]

You are a great Teacher. Ty . Off to the web site to check out the vids !!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks.

[@patcasey-ryan6120]

So are you saying we should make the bulk of our paintings lean towards neutrals or less chroma high colors and then add the pure colors as accents. I am struggling with the use of gray in my paintings. I know the eye needs a place to rest but how to I decide where that grey goes? I use more grey in the farther recesses of my paintings for depth but my chroma can still overwhelm me. Do you have a video that shows how to use gray in proportion to the painting? I can;'t seem to find it. I did refer to your nocturne video and it really helped. Thanks,!!!!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Let's change the language a bit here, Pat. When I say neutrals, I don't mean grays. Rather, I mean desaturated hues. In nature, almost all colors are desaturated, some more than others. The best way to know about that is to study it from nature. See Quick Tip 203.

[@satishiva6435]

I love your tutorials learn a lot please tell me how to mack my landscape look more dull in colour mine look very bright

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Learn to decrease the saturation of your colors. In landscape, rarely do you see colors of full saturation.

[@lolitakaloustianyoung7787]

Hi Dianne - I have admired your glass pallette and the box - will you please tell me what size you are using? It looks perfect. thank you.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

The palette I use for teaching is actually a plastic palette that came with my pochade box. It measures 10" x 12". In my main studio, I do use a glass palette measuring 12" x 23" .

[@nelidagarcia7412]

Love your videos! only started to view them yesterday. A question on this one-are you saying that we have to have gray in order to make the colors glow? How would you make a color glow in a field of green or in a still life where it is surrounded by other colors?

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks, Nelida. One of the characteristics of chroma (intensity) is that a low saturation of hue will bring out the brilliance of a highly saturated hue, especially of the same value. Try an experiment with your field of green idea by sneaking in small bits of neutral of the same value within a highly saturated area of green. Let us know your results.

[@nelidagarcia7412]

By "neutral" do you mean gray or burnt umber in the same value as the green? I have a lot more to learn.

[@passage2enBleu]

I think what Dianne is saying is that neutral refers to a less saturated version in the same color. A more grayed version of that color, but not necessarily a pure gray, and then keeping the value the same. So in your field of green you would use a grayer green amongst the brighter greens. Hope this helps.

[@chrisc.7972]

@@passage2enBleu thank you for your explanation, it was an excellent question and one I would have asked myself later and you've answered it 👍 thanks!

[@stephenfularz7573]

How can I mix the brightest white..

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

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.

I use toothbrushes to clean the last residue from the palette so that it has no stains for my next session..

[@castle6611]

Is gray the only neutral

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

A pure neutral is where no color is detectable, but any color can be neutralized. Purely saturated hue has no neutralization, but every hue has the potential to be slightly unsaturated (slightly neutral) to almost fully neutral where the hue is barely detectible. No hue detection is pure gray at any value or pure white or pure black.

Dear Mam What must be the size of ur tube colour u use.40, or 30ml. Which colour is cobalt real? Reply me soon Rims1

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Some oil paints come in 40ml tubes, others come in either 37 ml or 150 ml. The size doesn't matter. I'm not sure what you are asking about cobalt.

[@rupalimalhotra9585]

Dear Mam If I dont have Cerulean Blue to paint sky will cobalt and Prussian Blue mixed with white will be good for making sky blue. Do pls let me me knw Thanks Rims1

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

The color you use for the sky depends upon the color of the sky you are painting. There are a variety of blues that can do that. As you might have noticed by now, I don't give formulas for which colors to use for what. That would be doing you an injustice.

[@simaabedini843]

Would you please paint a sunflower in a glass vase ✌️🎨🙏👩‍🎨🌍☺️

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

The sunflower in a glass vase would be the reference, but to paint it, we must switch our attention from what it is to what we are seeing - i.e., shapes, values, colors, edges, etc. We can paint anything when we change our attention from what it is to exactly what our eyes are seeing. I will put this concept on our Quick Tips list.

[@Beinhartwie1chopper]

georgia O 'Keeffe's paintings really glow. I checked if there was a lightsource behind the canvas. After making sure that nobody was looking. Later I noticed several others peeking behind the canvas as well.
