How to STOP Paintings from Looking TOO DARK feat. Lori Putnam

[@KathyGuenkel]

Lori's segments are always so rich with practical instruction for developing as an artist. Practical and inspiring for improvement. She doesn't keep secrets. It makes me want to 'be a big girl' too and get to work!

So interesting. Painting too dark is definitely one of my issues. This is so very helpful.

Hello from New Orleans, Yes, used as little white or black as you can get away with, UT deadens the colors. Thanks Lori.

Loved this demo ❤ thanks

I’ll be honest-I didn’t get this one. The dark value on the roof looks too weak, and the sunlit part doesn’t convince me either. Sorry 🤷🏼‍♂️

greetings from Lake Tahoe, nevada !! Great instruction lori.. thank you! I read McPherson’s first book in 1998 but I could never understand what he was talking about when he had that cow picture and said: “black in sunlight is lighter than white in shade” ! I see that to be true in your painting, but when I’m outdoors painting, it’s hard for my brain to accept that fact!!! Love your color charts as well! Also, you talked about color value but not color temperature.. any reason why not? ❤❤👍🥰❄️

I'm confused enough not to be able to form a question in my head...I love Lori's work and I bought her book...But this is so over my head.

[@susanvignola7450]

In still life, my understanding is that the lightest light on the dark side is still darker than the darkest light on the light side, so it seems to me that is different than what you've stated for landscape??

Sorry I don't get it. PAMELA from Louisiana

[@lisengel2498]

I was immediately sttracted to this subject since my choice as an artist is to catch the vibrationsfri movements of light like a song - its truly very attracting and inspiring 🩶❤🩵🧡🩷🤍

[@nancyharris-dg3we]

So,find the .middle value first, then go to the dark, then light?
