[@rogermanley9017]

One of the best tutorials I’ve seen! You are clear and concise and you are not trying to hide anything. I would buy a house from you! 😊

That is epic!!!

Thank you!!

It is wonderful to use those colors for painting the clouds night sky...😍🙏🏃🏃🏃🏃🌑🌠👋

So impressive with just 3 colours and then combining them, there is a multitude of shades you can create.

Thank you so much!

Adding some Raw Umber to the Phthalo will push it to black. Also a good color to use.

[@patrickcharles7190]

Those are some great trees too. Thanks

Simply wonderful!! Abingdon, Virginia would be a wonderful place for a workshop (😉😉) Historical Quaint and beautiful town with places like the Martha Washington Inn, Barter Theatre, William King Museum of Art, Wine Vineyards, Creeper trail - just to name a few. For food - The Tavern of Abingdon is out of this world amazing. It is also located in one of the oldest buildings in the area (west of the Blue Ridge)

[@gagnonstudio]

Thank you so much! I will be visiting Alexandria, VA later on this year, but will keep Abingdon in mind for future events. I appreciate the info, and will definitely look into the area.

[@patrickcharles7190]

MelissaB is right. That'd be a great place...or down the road in Johnson City, Tennessee. Maybe at Freedom Hall or Wing Deer Park or Buffalo Ridge Apartments. Lol

[@SuperCarmen57]

Superb painting and very clear and useful directions, thank you !

[@chrisgriffith1573]

I don't use the word "color" any longer, I say "pigment" because it is more important to understand the pigment and its effect upon color mixing than the color it actually is once used.

[@sandijohnson4740]

[@shawnyfin]

Timmer - Ive been watching your videos for like 10 years, man. And you dont seem to be aging... Question: in the last decade did you happen to find a simple-looking gold ring? And in said time, has said ring become precious to you? Also, are you a Hide and Seek champion?

[@gagnonstudio]

hahaha, thank you I appreciate that. The aging thing is most likely due to not having children. At least that is what people tell me. But you are very kind to say so! I may or may not have a precious ring, I don't want to say in case there are orcs lurking .

[@shawnyfin]

@@gagnonstudio ...hmm, good call. Those orcs are tricksee! ✌

[@ionlyemergeafterdark]

Me, I call white a colour because lay people do normally, for example, when talking about colours of flags. Everyone would call the Russian flag as colours white, blue, and red. When I buy paint, I would regard all the paints on my list as being colours, when others would more strictly call them hues. No matter. I like using only two huey colours as you describe. I paint quick watercolour portraits and I find that the only two paints I need for the complexion are orange and green. Different combinations of them with different amounts of water give all the lights and shadows. Lips, eyes, and hair need other paints. Crimson or similar usually for the lips and then I might add a few dashes of the crimson into the cheeks, ears, and neck, to give a touch more ruddy colour. Sorry if that is too much information. Best. I like your channel.

How not to use black....valuable tip...thanks

[@gagnonstudio]

Haha, exactly. Black is a great tool, but not for night skies. Thanks for watching!

[@annmarie3520]

Amazing!❤

[@thomascleveland]

Really awesome. I am wondering what sort of rhythm leads up to the point that we saw in the video. Do you begin with a simple division of two values: one for the cloud and one for the sky? Or provide yourself with a bunch of random contours initially to get yourself started and then highlight them the way you showed in the video?

[@thomascleveland]

Nevermind, I found a video where you demonstrate it

[@canalcahill]

This is Gamblin Pthalo Blue. I prefer the red bias for skies, but you can actually get away with either. Thank you for your question!

[@bobsieczkiewicz8014]

@@gagnonstudio what is the red color again. I have a hearing deficiency. It would help if you put color as subtitles

Would be awesome if the colors were shown in text form in the video or the caption, nice video though!

[@caroladams9063]

Can you do a similar painting with acrylics?

[@downesart]

Are you painting wet on wet or do you let the previous layer dry ?

[@macaronafterparty]

What color did you start as your base color? Did you paint the entire canvas in the dark sky blend first?

[@gagnonstudio]

I used prussian blue and alizarin crimson. I just painted the dark areas around the cloud first.

[@macaronafterparty]

@@gagnonstudio Okay I think I understand so there was no base coat. But you started with the dark sky first. I am very new. Thanks.

[@benjaminshortt8197]

Really appreciate your video (s)! . Just double checking before I give this a go- when your going back over the mid tone ‘cutting out’ more contours with the highlighting ; is this wet on wet or did you let it dry and do it as a new layer ?

[@briannec8975]

Thats often done dry because acrylic dries so quickly

[@kellybilyeu1733]

Is it easier to blend color on a canvas then on a panel.

[@gagnonstudio]

With oil paint I'd say it's equally as easy. With acrylic I'd say it's easier on a canvas because of the "tooth" you are able to scrub a little more.

[@lakshmibaimohan9915]

Beautiful.. Acrylics or Oil

[@gagnonstudio]

This is oils. Thank you!

[@DJSHADDY2K7]
