Quick Tip 92 - Color Like Sargent

[@beckhead25]

I've never seen ANYONE like you on KZbin. I feel like I'm one on one with my very own teacher. You are such a treasure!!!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Wow, thanks so much!

[@TooleyPeter]

What a great teacher. Passion for her subject, an eye for detail and a genuine interest in conveying information. Bravo, Dianne.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks.

@Zyaire Max It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my ass :D

[@jutta3378]

I love this tutorial! I adore Sargent's work and to get a glimpse into his way of using colour is such a treat. The way he painted light is just breathtaking but Dianne's eagle eye unravels the mystery! Just wonderful and so inspiring!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

There's no doubt that his work is ingenious.

[@richardoakley6560]

As I was watching this I couldn’t help but notice subtle blues and greens in your hair. Very beautiful and inspirational. Thanks for the video.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Good observation!

[@mariecaroniaplotkin5268]

every single day I come to you tube to watch you teach me something! You're great! I'm retired and have always painted but you make me see painting from a true artist's perspective.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Wow, thank you!

[@verafurci6117]

I love all your Quick Tips , Dianne. Your video classes are amazing too! You are a very generous and passionate teacher.Thank-you!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks, Vera. I have fun doing the video classes as well as the Quick Tips.

[@denisemangan1413]

What a pleasure to watch. All the tips are priceless. Any knowlegde imparted is a treasure for any artist who have a desire for painting. Thankyou

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thank YOU.

[@jimmiesutton8468]

Ms. Mize, this is exactly what I have been practicing lately. It is the only way to capture what you believe you see! our eyes are deceiving when it comes to color matching! You are a wonderful teacher!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thank you, Jimmie. Enjoy the journey!

[@mariegamber]

What a wonderful tutorial. I have watched this before but frequently revisiting your lessons feels like “coming home”. And I remember feeling the familiarity from your previous and always come away with something new - It doesn’t matter how many times I watch, there is always something new! Thank you for sharing your time and amazing talent.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks, Marie.

[@lauraahargreaves7783]

Thank you Dianne for all these great painting tips! You get right into the demonstration and clearly show the techniques, which are easy to understand and follow. The best videos on KZbin for understanding basics and beyond of oil painting!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks, Laura. I enjoy doing these.

[@mountainsno]

Ive been working through all the quick tips. I still have a heap to go but I am going to begin your video lessons this week. Best wishes. You are a talented and generous teacher. I think it is your husband who tapes these videos and I want to say thank you to him too. I feel so blessed that I found your channel. I was so stuck with my painting and your instructions and encouragement have built my tool kit and skill set so much. I feel like I have a solid direction in my art and my art education. God bless.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks, Marietta. I am delighted you are finding my teaching helpful. Actually, Roger is not my husband, but a longtime friend and business partner. His wife, Kathy, is our biggest fan.

[@victoriamitchell5471]

Thank you so much for one of the most wonderful learning moments I have had in over 7 years. You are an amazing teacher! The method you presented using the small window and the extra piece to compare and match colors was fantastic. Thanks again.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Wow. Thank YOU.

[@kathysfineart9152]

Love the tip of matching the value before modifying the hue. The post-it glue to keep the isolator in place is so simple and really will help!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

It is such a simple correction in procedure, yet eliminates a lot of frustration while mixing color.

[@davidgoldsmid2365]

That was also my favorite tip ! So great

[@gennydavidsonsmith85]

Just read your book Finding Freedom. Absolutely fascinating and so full of excellent information I’ve never read before. Thank you!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

My pleasure.

[@painting55]

Yes, Dianne, a huge thank you for this lesson! You are a wonderful teacher.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks. I love being a teacher as much as I love being an artist.

[@juandiegocardona1018]

You just answered one of my biggest doubts in painting. Thank you!!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

I'm so glad!

[@heinzerfurt5225]

Your quick tips are very precious lessons to me. I started a year ago with painting. Now I'm 65 and with every lesson from you I discover more and more painting secrets and I'm afraid I started much too late to reach a satisfying level of painting skills. Anyhow, thanks a lot for your great tips.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

You NEVER start too late. What matters is the lift your receive from each painting your do. Don't fret about reaching a satisfying level of painting skills. Just enjoy the journey!

[@heinzerfurt5225]

Many thanks for taking the time to answer my worries. And I realized you are right - the journey is often more exciting than the arrival. Have a great day!

[@JeffChorney]

Excellent color study. Love the little window idea, splendid!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks so much!

[@jjroseknows777]

I am learning so much - and just what i was needing to learn: how to mix colors. Thank you so much.

[@brendavies5805]

Dianne I think you are a wonderful inspiring teacher thank you for sharing your gift with us xx

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks, Bren. It's a pleasure to share.

[@veaudor]

That's the best explanation (and maybe the only) of Sargent's colorization. Thank you!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Great!

[@tomasvenditti5223]

Well, it's just seing and matching a color, dont you think? I mean I thought she was going to analise or explain why he used those colours or why they work as they do

[@richardoakley6560]

Tomas Venditti She did

[@charliemeckel1159]

Excellent video, very insightful. Sargeant himself is known to have made some large copies of Valasquez' paintings. He was also known to have spent a lot of time mixing the paint on his pallet and compairing the colors to his subject ( compared to the amount of time working on the canvas).

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Perhaps all that mixing is one reason his paintings work so well, especially his use of color.

[@FFede-ji9lv]

Dianne, you are an inspiring teacher, thanks!

[@robinhunter7408]

Wow! You’re a wonderful teacher. I’m looking forward to watching everything you have done. Just looked at your website and your paintings are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gift.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks, Birgit. My pleasure.

[@RichardKing4U]

Just noticed that you're using Singer Sargent's "Oyster Catchers" painting. It's a fascinating painting. It's got that WOW factor as soon as you see it - WOW ! Sargent was a brilliant artist, no doubt about it. I liked it so much I made my own copy of it in acrylic paint. It's come out quite well. It's not easy to copy that's for sure. When I'm working with acrylic here in Thailand the very hot climate dries my paint in less than ten minutes after it goes on the canvass. I can't spend any time producing a line of tints because they dry far too fast. Yes, I know about the retardent, but it's always a struggle to work quickly enough to get the job done. If I spent ten minutes matching one tiny area of a painting 700 x 500 mm I'd be working on it for the next thirty years. As it was it took me about three weeks. In order to match my colours I painted a piece of card mid grey and then covered it up with transparent cellophane. I then paint the cellophane and place that right next to the painting. The neutral grey of the card help me to see more accurately the colour. White obviously is OK, but I find grey is better for me. When I've filled up all around the edge of the cellophane I simply replace it with a new piece of cellophane Have a quick look at my copy of the "Oyster Catchers" and give me your opinion. I'd be very grateful - www.100temptations.com/copy-of-wtf-01-with-video-4 Kind regards - Chris in Thailand

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Did you know that Sargent did two versions of The Oyster Gathers? That aside, unless we are looking at the painting itself, it's difficult to see exactly what Sargent has done with the colors. Differences in computer monitors and in pixels interpreting reality often will give us distortions of what Sargent did. What we do know, though, is that among other things, he was playing with juxtaposing close values of warm and cool neutralized hues, and we can see how he merges the edges of his figures. I congratulate your tackling a complex subject. And since you asked, go back to it and turn both your study and the resource photo upside down and explore Sargent's handling of all edges, most especially all the broke edges of color of the beach and clouds in the sky. It's not just his arrangement of people, but what he's done to the environment around them that makes this painting intriguing.

[@FreyadeVries98]

Fantastic Dianne! Could you please suggest which one of your courses would be a great place to begin landscape painting? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Mona

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Mona, all my courses are more focused on the composing process rather than subject-specific, but perhaps either the mini-course called Creating Distance, or the individual lessons under the Creating Distance Series would be a good place to start.

[@CupCakesCreations]

@@IntheStudioArtInstruction thank you :)

[@littleolerockerchick]

:-) Love this demo, you are generous with your visions and methods. Thanks from the little old budding artiste

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

My pleasure.

[@PsychologyAcademia]

Diane i love your tutorial lessons. So practical and on the money. I have a problem with this one though. Its reliant on a printed reproduction that you put on yoyr easel. How do you know if the Print is true to the painting? Most pribts i get are not exact. Many times quite a way off. So yoyr copying a colour that may well be wrong. Have you found a eay to overcome this? Cheers.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Peter, you are right. There is also the problem of monitors varying so much in their output of color and contrast. I try to choose a reproduction as close as possible to what I know the colors to be, then the rest is a toss-up.

[@mariegamber]

This was so insightful. You are an amazing artist and instructor.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Ah, thanks.

You're very welcome!

[@lauriek.8759]

I am learning so much from your videos, they are always full of pertinent information and inparted in a clear and concise manner, thank you. I don't paint in oils because of allergies. While watching I am envious of the value lines of the colours. Are there any tricks for doing something like to this in acrylics and watercolors?

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

If you have a way to keep your acrylics wet on the palette, you can make it work. Watercolor is a different story since we use water to make colors lighter.

[@Jigger2361]

...apparently 54 people stuck around just to give a thumbs down to this wonderful video... must be finger painters

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

There will always be thumbs down. These keep us alert, but I don't take them seriously unless they can give me specific objections.

Hi Dianne great video. Can you tell me why your palette was a swatch using Alizarin Crimson and not Cadmium Red? I want to use a limited palette and cant decide. Thanks

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Hans, for this study, I needed a red that comes out of the tube a dark value. That's why I chose alizarin crimson for this study.

Was hoping this was about JSS's watercolor techniques.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

He used watercolor traditionally, letting the water itself serve for white. He didn't use any of the many special techniques watercolor painters use today, rather he relied on simple washes and traditional brushstrokes. For Sargent, watercolor was a tool to do quick studies.

[@marycaciamasser3814]

Wonderful idea. This could be adapted to other artists’ paintings.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

A good way to study artists is to analyze what they are doing rather than simply copy their work.

Excellent explanation. Love your classes, I am learning a lot from you. Thank you!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks, Luz.

[@TheDudeway]

can you rest your paint like this on your palette ? I'm just asking my self when looking at all your colours sitting on site...

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Check out Quick Tip 115 and see if it answers your question.

[@doctormarazanvose4373]

using a midtone grey card rather than white card would make it easier to judge the value - like the grey tone of your palette

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

True, both work.

[@TomGameson]

thankyou very much that was very informative. Great to hear the inner painters monologue articulated; 'Aha!' 'Think thats pure white? Betcha not!'

[@JiveDadson]

Sargent's methods are on record. keenewilson.com/page/2947/john-singer-sargents-painting-techniques One thing he never did with oils was to mix paint on the canvas. If he got a touch wrong, he wiped it off and did it again. It is said that once when he was painting a commissioned portrait, he scraped and wiped out the face 30 times before he eventually got it all in one _premier coup_ go at it.

[@JiveDadson]

It is not necessary to use complementary colors to grey-out colors that are too chromatic. One can use ,,, ta ta! ... gray. Use opaque gray of the correct value, and you cannot go wrong.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks again for your input. You are correct: mixing complementary colors is not necessary for reducing intensity or decreasing saturation of hues, but to do so allows the possibility of leaning neutrals slightly cooler or warmer while painting whereas a single gray gives a single option.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks for sharing this link. Keep in mind that there is an entire library of research about Sargent's method of working. His method, like all masters, was an evolving process. May I also recommend the book, JOHN SINGER SARGENT by Carter Ratcliff along with works listed it his bibliography.
