Finally after 7 years it makes sense why to Notan. I believed it did and I experimented with it but now I get it. It helps you build the painting correctly in values which are the most important thing.

Yes. It's all about recognizing what the light is doing, where the light rays are hitting, and where they are missing.

Another great one, Dianne. This video gave me a light bulb moment: transitions are in the middle of the value scale. This concept will help me mix colors that are in the mid-range. I am watching videos on portrait painting and was wondering how the artist knew what to mix between the shadow area and the not in shadow area. There is so much to know. Your quick tips have been so incredibly helpful.

20:02 Dianne, your summaries are pure gold! This is so helpful to me, thank you again! 💙What are your thoughts on stylistically using lighter values for shadow areas? I love how this looks, but I have trouble pulling this off consistently.
@IntheStudioArtInstruction3 жыл бұрын
Derek, are you referring to keying the entire painting to a lighter value range? It is the value relationship that makes this work, that is the intervals between values. I always use the value relationship I find in nature, so if I want the deep shadow areas to be a lighter value in the painting, then other shadow values will be a degree or two or three lighter, depending upon their location, but no further apart than that.

Thanks Diane, you are a marvelous instructor., better than Art School. They mostly had express yourself nonsense. I left painting and got a degree in Fibers. After my daughter was born I went and took a watercolor class in a local Adult Ed program. She was better than Art school too. With life changes, I am finally back to paining again, both in watercolor and acrylic. I have a question for you, sometimes I paint plein air and some times from photos. I have heard that the camera makes the shadows too dark and flat. Do you have any tips for painting from photos and dealing with those shadows? Thanks!

Wonderful explanation for grouping values. Question about the cast shadow from the barn. Even though the photo shows a deeper shadow, is it lighter because of the light from the grass shape? Thanks Dianne.
@IntheStudioArtInstruction3 жыл бұрын
The photo doesn't really show that the cast shadow is darker where it's closer to the barn and gradually gets a bit light towards it's edges. It getting lighter is the result of adjacent light rays bouncing into it.

There are many combinations. My preference are the following tube colors for oils: cadmium yellow light, Rembrandt cadmium yellow deep, Rembrandt transparent oxide red, Cadmium red light, permanent alizarin, Gamlin Quinacridone Violet, dioxazine purple, ultramarine blue and Rembrandt viridian. Where I listed brands, it matters so should not be substituted.

Great video! But I have a question which is killing me: How can local values not be a factor? Imagine there was a white cube in that photo. It is possible that his SHADOW side would be LIGHTER than the value for the trees in the LIGHT, isn't it? Following the 'Halfway to black' principle, that could be very well possible. What do you do in such cases? Thanks a lot in advance!
@IntheStudioArtInstruction2 жыл бұрын
Miguel, local values are caused by light and shadow. There really can be no such thing as a local value without light. Even the darkest color can have on it the full range of values when lit by a direct light, and the lightest colors can have very dark shadows.

Yes. If it is an oil painting, first clean it by using a lint free cloth with a bit of mineral spirits. Wipe it thoroughly dry, then lightly rub into the surface a light coat of linseed oil. See Quick Tip 222.

I have 2 different photos of 2 different dogs that I’m grouping together and painting for someone and the light source is different in both. How do I make the light in the painting cohesive for both?
@IntheStudioArtInstruction3 жыл бұрын
I advise working this out with sketches and value/color studies ahead of time. Choose the one that has the light source you want, then in a study, imagine where that light source is located and how the rays from that source will hit the dog in the other photo. Where the light is not hitting, there will be shadows. I have a course that shows you how to do that if you are interested. You can find it here: diannemize.com/product/conveying-the-light-source-course/

Amazing explanation. I have heard some say that even the lightest in the shadow must always be darker than the darkest part in the light. This to make a clear seperation? Some famous artists didn't always apply this rule to create a more impressionistic effect. What do you think about this rule? It only applies to direct light ofcourse.
@IntheStudioArtInstruction3 жыл бұрын
I am not in favor of ANY rule because there are so many variables in nature, depending upon how reflective surfaces are and the light's effect on everything we see. Generally, observation will show us that the darkest light in none-shadowed areas and the lightest portion of shadows will be in the middle value range, but it's best to use your observation to make decisions, not rules. One more word about rules: there is a difference between a rule and a principle. A rule is restrictive whereas a principle is a guide.
@plakjeham1183 жыл бұрын
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Thank you so much for your quick and educational take on this. I am self taught and I notice that I sometimes seek for rules to be depended on. I will be doing an internship next month as a 2D illustrator at a illustration studio. But I always am struggling with asking myself when making an illustration out of scratch if my shadows are too dark or too light. I'm guessing that grouping the shadows in the same value range first and then making light adjustments afterwards could be an approach that makes it less confusing? I'm still struggling with how light or dark I can go when making an imaginary painting.
