Using Broken Color In Your Landscape Painting

[@ivi122]

I absolutely love impressionistic paintings especially with broken colors and texture like in 4:50

Thank you for explaining the concept of broken color. I have always admired artist that can do that well but never had that skill myself. After your explanation I will have to try it again.

You are so welcome!

Wow! This was very good info. I didn’t even know what you were talking about with broken color in the same value, but the effects are amazing…

Awesome stuff. Do you have any book recommendations for color or broken color?

Kevin mcphersons Oil Painting with Light and Color is really good.

Timely video. I was working on a painting this morning with foreground road in shadow, and wondering what the logic was to broken color. Looks like nearer the edge of shadows are cooler (sky influence). The Edgar Payne landscapes show I masterful control of values and subtle temperature shifts.

I have noticed that you appear to leave your oils on your palette at all times, and, I suppose just add addition pigment for each session. I would love to do this but am uncertain as to what you do between painting sessions. Do you cover the pain...and if so, with what, does it have to be airtight? Do you add some oil - like Poppyseed oil...and if so, what and how? Any other tips? Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question.

[@philstarke.artist]

Hi Lolita, I paint every day, so I leave the paint out. If I’m not painting for a few days I cover the paint with plastic wrap or put it in a refrigerator. Don’t add poppy seed or linseed oil, the paint will never dry and will be too soupy to work with.
