Thank you for answering my earlier questions Dianne. I enjoy your tips, explanations and demonstrations. No bizarre hats or lame jokes from the peanut gallery. As a rank beginner at age 71, I want to learn how to paint my own scenes and portraits and not copy what someone else does bit by bit. Your smooth delivery and ability to explain and illustrate these sometimes difficult topics makes it much easier to understand. I know there's an audience for every style and instructor, so I'm glad I checked out a lot of other folks before I found you. 👍
Thank you, Lance. My teaching philosophy has always been to help each individual artist find their on uniqueness. I hope these Quick Tips are doing just that.
I am a recent subscriber to your quick tips etc and am just so pleased and happy that a painting friend told me about them - they are not only so well done with fabulous information and can't thank you enough - had no formal art education and am hungry for it - these are just wonderful. Can't wait to explore further on what you have here.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Just invested in a set of Rosemary brushes from the UK. I saw your online gallery and especially love the way you paint light coming through trees in autumn. So lovely.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, i am following your videos, and all seen are good , but this ones about brush strokes work, are superb. you are the best art teacher i ever had, even taking into account, that english is not my mother tongue, i am from Spain. Very clear and very well explained.Thanks again for your guidance.
Thank you for such valuable tips and advice. Appreciate your sharing your experience with us. Would really welcome a video on how to go about doing abstract flowers. Many thanks once again.
Hello Dianne, your comments are tremendously appreciated and useful. Would you have any suggestions regarding the texture of the paint? From somehow diluted to very stiff, and proportions of media. This is, turpentine / oil. Thanks for the time and effort.
Question , Hi Dianne , using a lot of titanium white for mixing i normally buy student grade , but when it drys clouds look very chalky , is it just the grade of paint or is there something i can add to the paint or should i splash out on some professional .
Alan, the only student grade brand of titanium white I would trust is the Gamblin series 1980, however I think it's always a better idea to use professional grade paints. It's hard to answer exactly why your clouds look chalky. The brand of student grade COULD be the reason, depending upon how much filler the paint contains. One way to find out is to go with a professional grade of titanium white. If your clouds still look chalky, we'd need to dig deeper into the technique you're using.
First of all thank you for this video, I wanted to ask how to create a uniform palette for a painting, an harmonious palette that doesn't make any part of a painting look out of context compared to the rest
Ladi Traore, check out Quick Tip 121 and see if it answers your question. _ ua-cam.com/video/-U-hQptTf2c/v-deo.html - If it doesn't, leave another comment and I'll address it a different way.
I don't like rules because they can be so restrictive. Generally, we observe that under cool light, shadows appear warmer and under warm light, they appear cooler. In my experience, the shadow translates more vibrantly when a bit of the local color's complement is added.
In the Studio Art Instruction. So in yellow sunshine (warm), the shadows are purply. On a snowy day (cool), the shadows would be more like what? Warmer? Orangy? Am i close?
I so enjoy your teaching videos! Thank you. I have a question - when I paint on a canvas, stretched or panel, I have the hardest time with the paint. It doesn’t cover the canvas well, leaves all kinds of white canvas showing through. To compensate, I end up putting so much paint down that it looks like a goopy mess. I even tone my canvas before I paint. What in the world am I doing wrong? I hope you can address this in one of your videos. Thank you so much!!!!
scoobstyr, that's an easy one. Before beginning the painting, slightly dampen the canvas with 50/50 mineral spirits and linseed oil or poppy oil. I keep a spray mix of Gamsol and Poppy Oil in a spray bottle (fine mist). I spray the entire canvas, the wipe it down with paper towel. If it's too wet and the paint will slide around, too dry and it drags, so you learn with practice just how much to wipe it down.
One of my objectives when we began this Quick Tips five years ago was to fill in the gaps. So many of my former students here have told me the same thing: art school didn't teach them the basics.
If I may be so bold as to suggest: you should publish a book with all of your instructional tips and insights. I think it would be a best-seller and excellent instructional painting reference for all mediums!
You are such a fantastic teacher. Wish I'd found your channel years ago!
Thanks, Meghan! NOW is what counts.
Her landscapes are jaw dropping.
Thank you, Kai.
Another good one, Dianne. It's remarkable how often these quick tips show up just when they're most needed. Thank you!
That's how we roll 😊.
You are the best,wanted to learn this for so long
Great!
You're a fantastic teacher and artist. Thank you for taking the time to post this. It's given me a lot to think about and experiment with.
My pleasure.

Have fun exploring these. A lot of artists actually practice the Tips in order to grasp how they can work to enhance their painting skills.
I’m gonna listen because her paintings are beautiful.
Listen and do. It's in the doing that it all becomes real.

Hi Dianne. Was this surface you're demonstrating on dry or sprayed with the mixture you often use?
Rich, I used a dry surface for this one.
Than you
My pleasure.
Merci Madame

Question: when to use purple for shadows and when not to use purple for shadows?... Are there rules?
I don't like rules because they can be so restrictive. Generally, we observe that under cool light, shadows appear warmer and under warm light, they appear cooler. In my experience, the shadow translates more vibrantly when a bit of the local color's complement is added.
In the Studio Art Instruction. So in yellow sunshine (warm), the shadows are purply. On a snowy day (cool), the shadows would be more like what? Warmer? Orangy? Am i close?

In the Studio Art Instruction Thank you, that is an easy fix! I’ll try it out this coming week. Thank you again :-)
Thank you Dianne for this very useful tip. Is that a bright brush you are using?
It's a Rosemary short flat 274. That would fall into the bright category.
In the Studio Art Instruction Thank you ❣️
No one told me these basics even i attend classes at vocational art school, let me kiss yous hands Madam
One of my objectives when we began this Quick Tips five years ago was to fill in the gaps. So many of my former students here have told me the same thing: art school didn't teach them the basics.
That s/b instruction
If I may be so bold as to suggest: you should publish a book with all of your instructional tips and insights. I think it would be a best-seller and excellent instructional painting reference for all mediums!
Something similar is on my bucket list. Meanwhile, you might enjoy my book, Finding Freedom to Create.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction, I have just ordered both of your books, and I am looking forward to receiving them this week!
