I am very attracted to tonalism, and a great admirer of your always very beautifull color mixing. I love to experiment wirh high key , choosing subtle colors and value shifts vibrating between warm and cool nuances and somehow avoiding beginning with dark. I try to begin with a colored tone ( as when looking toward light coming from far away - and in that way experimenting in between realism and soft edge color field abstraction- mostly avoiding sharp edges colors - and as light filled as possible 🙃🎵💛🎶😊

A lovely demonstration. The muted tones feel more repressed. But yet there is a deep beauty in the darks. You are probably for me the best artist, I have come across on YTube. Your demonstrations, insights are worth their weight in gold. Thanks for sharing amongst aspiring amateur painters like myself.

Thanks again for a very instructive video! You put words on styles, technics, and so much more... I've only been painting for 2 years and I have sooo much to learn... I especially like this style: tonalism. I love tonalism, I didn't know it was called like that, I even have George Inness "Heron" as my desktop wallpaper! Keep'em coming 😊 All the best for you and your family in 2022 😃👩🎨

Hi Malcom. Just a couple of things to note. Tonalist painters AKA brown school painters had very muted colors. Similar to a Zorn palette. Colors like blue weren’t used much if at all due to its cost since lapis was semi precious. Instead they used a blue/black such as ivory black and sometimes mixed a small amount of blue in it. Colors were tinted or shaded with white or black or white and brown, hence brown school painters.. a good palette to use for tonalism would be transparent orange, alixeron crimson, white and ivory black with some ultra Marine mixed in it. You could imagine the color harmony this limited of a palette would produce.

Happy New Year! Often I have references like this, where there is not enough contrast and a lot of mist and fog. I usually stay away from them, though they can be some of the most beautiful scenes. This will help me know how to deal with the white. Thanks...Heading to the painting closet now!

Thanks Michael, yes closer value relationships and softer edges are more important than white paint. Dave it for the essential lights only.

Thank you, Malcolm. That was an informative explanation and a beautiful demonstration. If I understood properly, the tonalism implies a play with (presumably) middle values and a restricted range of colors. Tonalists depict mainly moody and/or mysterious and almost monochromatic landscapes... The expanded range of colors in your oil-painting helped to reduce depressive gloominess and brought in a bit of joy (increasing an impact too). My question is: should a "tonalistic painting" be necessarily sad? Just musing...😀. Happy painting!
@MalcolmDewey3 жыл бұрын
I actually ask myself that too. Certainly a sensitive and introspective approach. I suspect that early tonalists had the loneliness of vast landscapes to consider.
