Another informative video. You point out so well what is before our eyes. Thanks again.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Wow, this one was really helpful to think about. I enjoyed seeing your comparison to Master painters and getting your take on it. I hope you'll continue this subject in another Quick Tip!
Glad you enjoyed it! Have fun with it.
Hi Dianne, 2022, hope each day is healthy and full of joy! Each episode fully answers the question asked, in short time. Obviously your wisdom and talent bring so much to the table. There are many good teachers on line, your lessons are great. Never saying what to do, but truly teaching how to observe
It’s refreshing, we all enjoy your calm presentation. Best, your intention to share is evident. No one like you. Thank you. Going to enjoy designing space now:)
Wow, Laura! Thanks for all that!
Once again, timely advice, Dianne. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
I had the immense pleasure of taking a 3-day workshop with Qiang Huang several years ago. He is a terrific teacher and it's a joy to watch him paint. His colors were very vibrant and he doesn't overwork a painting. He spent a lot of time on backgrounds and foregrounds. I would recommend his DVD which explains his approach, a very systematic way to approach any painting. Thanks for sharing this tip.
Thanks for adding that, Paula.
Your quick tips give me a new way to think about art. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
You are so welcome! Thanks for being a subscriber.
You are amazing. Your tutorial is packed full of wonderful tips. I love your alternation between warm and cool. I never realized or thought of using the foreground shadow area -to inform the the open areas. Genius.
Wow, thanks, Marie!
I so enjoy your videos!!!! A wonderful addition of techniques to add to my own toolbox. Thank so much.
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!
You hit it out of the ballpark with this one! Now i know that my foreground is not just incidental but can be just as important as my subject.
Thanks, Debi! A lot of wonderful stuff can happen in the foreground.
Thank you for sharing with us all those tips. So important to observe and helping me to realise what I see and what is the way to express it !!! Your way of teaching is great .
The best !!
Thanks, Laura!
Wonderful advice Diane 😊 studying the masters paintings is such a help with composition and colour and many other things.
Foregrounds i think should point and lead viewer into painting , not too much detail but just enough.
Yes. There are so many variables in potential subjects that finding ways to lead the viewer into the painting can be a creative adventure.
Thank you for this excellent demo and description!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Timely to see this today. I was stuck and now I'm away with my painting a foreground. Thank you Diane. Happy New Year!
Wonderful! Have fun with it! Hope to see you Sunday for the Live Chat!
Exactly what I needed to finish my little painting. Thank you very much.
Enjoy the journe!
Many thanks to you, Dianne, for this short but very informative and great tip!

This was so clear and interesting! Wow.
Thanks for watching and for being a subscriber.
Hi Diane. I've been struggling with stairs leading up in a winding fashion with their perspective and hue value from the bottom to where they could stop at the top. I'd appreciate a quick tip on this baffling scene. Thank you. I so enjoy and learn so much from you.
Rosee, you're dealing with the degree of slants of lines (edges) and space between lines. Look for that within the stairs and you'll get it right.
This is a very important tip. Thank you Diane. Does this apply to the background aswell?
Yes it does!
Good one , I had some problems with that too.
Very well explained thanks!!
Dianne would please explain how to manage placing one picture from different size of canvas to other shape of canvas.
I usually consider the ratio of the subject to the canvas and if it’s more empty space I fill it with smiler surrounding or background . Is this right to do?
Marzeih, the composition of the painting will change if you transfer the idea to a canvas of a different proportion. I advise that you work out the new composition in your sketchbook or on scrap canvas first in the same proportion as the new canvas. When doing this, you follow the sound concepts for composing according to the new shape.

Thank you for clear answer.
Perfect! Thank you
You bet!
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Didn't know where to drop this question, so here goes.... Curious, has anyone used egg tempera over a pastel painting? If so, what were your results?? I have a pastel painting, where there are sections I'd like to have a more egg tempera look. The only thing I could think of was painting those areas over with egg tempera. Before doing that, however, I thought I'd see if I could get feedback from others. Thank you.
What you are observing could be gouache. It is not uncommon for pastel paintings to use gouache as an underpainting, and I assume the same is true for egg tempera since it is a waterbased medium. But you'd have to get the exact information from the artist.
I really struggle with foregrounds in landscapes, particularly when there's grasses and plants there.
No need to struggle. Just compose them into the overall space of the painting.
