    Hey Mark.. I know comments like these must be meaningless by now for you… but I wanted to share my deepest gratitude for these videos you have made available to everyone for free .. I just recently discovered your channel have learned more from your videos on mixing color than all the color theory videos I’ve seen online .. most oil paint tutorials I have come across seem to be more about the ego of the artist than actual usable knowledge.. and it touched me very deeply when I saw you share your knowledge without holding back.. I wish you all the best in life and greatest things happening for you and your loved ones ❤

    You are the best painting teacher on UA-cam! I'm back painting in oils after 15 years. My first portrait was amazing. Thank you so much for your excellent instruction and inspiring me to get back into it. Oil was always my first love since I was 13.

    Several years ago you did a video regarding the approach to a portrait and you made the same recomendation starting from the darkest to the lightest it transforned my artwork 100% and I thank you for that.

    “Paintings are for looking, not for smelling” 🤣 love it, and love your instructional videos. You were instrumental in my success as a “new” painter in 2019 and while I haven’t painted in a few years now, you may have just inspired me to break out the paints again!

    Too many students mix-up the meaning of talent with mechanics. These vids are great to get students over the mechanics barrier. Students, while learning to apply paint, also study composition and design. Learn to use simple/rough sketching to develop your ideas. These components will decrease the anxiety a blank canvas presents.

    13:54 Agree! On blending: I like to use a 1" wide hog bristle brush. There is little to no 'smoothing' with that choice. I absolutely love thick textured strokes 😃

    Thanks Mark! Your classes keep me wanting to learn. Would you consider linking the reference photo you use for this video? I'd love to do this exact image from beginning to end following all your instructions.

    One thing I think might be useful for this technique is whenever you create a "pool" of color to represent a transition of color, to the left of it, place a small amount of the color you end up mixing. Then use the pool of color next to it as much as you can.
    IF you end up using all the color, you can then re-mix the paint like you originally did, but you can color-check it with the small spot so you can use it as a reference. Theoretically, you should be able to re-mix the same color paint indefinitely. Alternatively (and probably better), you could just reference the same spot on the photo again, but I'm under the impression you mixed that color for a reason, and want it to be consistent.
    Like he said, you can then correct and add details later.

    Hola amigo un saludo desde España. he descubierto tu canal y me gusta mucho pues descubro muchas coincidencias sobre todo en la paleta reducida ya que uso los mismos colores salvo el amarillo y el rojo que uso amarillo cadmiun y rojo cadmiun oscuro por lo demás es exactamente igual, me estuve planteando comprar la linea de oleo Geneva pero veo que no hacen envíos a UE me gustaría saber que conductor o medium usas en tus pigmentos, un saludo y gracias de antemano

    When you cover the canvas with paint, after you made sure colors were correct, do you do any blending between colors, and if so, do you do that with a dry brush?
    Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

    Thanks for your great lessons. Learning a lot. Just wondering why is it that oil paintings, particularly of objects, have always, well mostly, dark backgrounds? The old masters I assumed was because they didn't have much light but even today, when you see modern oil paintings, the backgrounds and settings are always so dark? How come?

    When you say a laminated photo, does putting the picture in a plastic "jacket" OK? Or should it be like a laminate name tag/ID type of thing? Thank you. Great video!

    Dear Sir, in case we paint from the iPad or Phone I mean not from the photo, how we can judge the values? And to know that we are so close to the color?
    All my love send to you from IRAQ. ❤

    color checking is gold. theres always more yellow than one think haha. what printer or price range for a printer? i bought one that do lamination and its decent but there is quite a color shift (and bright/contrast) compared to what i see on my google pixel. tried checking on phone but it doesnt work, one surface is self-illuminated the other is not

    • @janiekelley9449

      I had a glossy color print of my photo done at actual size at Office Depot. I bought a pad of acetate sheets at an art supply store (Michael's - in the craft section for making souvenir albums), and used that acetate over my photo print to test the colors - it's a heavier gauge, wipe-able surface. Hope that helps.

    Hi all,
    Does anybody knows which Basic colours is Mark use? I have Light cadmium yellow, light cadmium red and medium cobalt blue. Are these colours "clear" enough to have as basic?
    Thanks,

    But now when I put paint on the laminated paper it is so shiny, I can't register the tones

    When using a color checker to paint from real life I always get way too dark and "dirty" colors, and in general it's really hard to compare the colors

    • @omnesilere
      @omnesilere Рік тому +1

      That means the light you're using with the color checker (probably the same light as your canvas) is too bright so you're overcompensating and mixing the colors too dark to make them match. From real life, meaning still lives, right?
      This method works from a photo in the same light as your canvas; using the same light source eliminates that issue.
      When you follow his still life method he mentions adjusting your brightness such that you can match the lightest tones, and that would leave the dark things falling into darkness but that's ok.

    I don't understand the appeal in messy brushwork and painting from photographs. The greatest painters to ever live produced very clean paintings where no brush strokes are visible. I've never seen a Da' Vinci painting that had visible brushstrokes.

    Hi Mark, I really want to share these videos with people. However the 'no talent' subtitle is making me hesitate. I know you use that in a technical sense but it could be misinterpreted. Would you consider removing it from the video title? Thanks, Tom
