I like the part with mixing colors . Probably watched 95 % of your vids ,but dont remember mixing colors on pallete . Would like to see more extended vid on this topic ! Thanks for your vids again !
Good one Phil, yes, the computer helps for designing studio work, as you always show. Not much time in plein air work to make too many decisions, just have to go for it. I guess that's what makes them attractive to viewers, being generally small and energetic. I don't do field pencil sketches any more, not much time for it outside, as the "thing" or "effect" that attracted you to a particular scene disappears very quickly. That, unless you know what's coming, having been there before, and can wait for it to happen again, like that certain nice shadow and light pattern on Pusch Ridge of Catalina mountains, down here in Tucson, or something. : ) Doing small color studies, yes, before you tackle the big canvas. Much better to have a lot of "failed" paintings/ideas/concepts in 6x8's than in 16x20's. A workshop teacher once told us, "Never die with a bunch of bad paintings in your studio"! LOL. He also said, "No failed painting is ever completely useless; it can always serve as bad example, to never do that again!! LOL ;D
Thanks so much for making this video free for all. I always use your video to get a focus for my next painting to improve small steps each time I paint. The cleaning up unwanted detail of a photo part, that gives me a start point to think about how to modified a specific scene I like to paint. Thank you!
Hey Phil. Love your videos. I strictly learned from your videos and ian roberts. I find it fascinating how different your styles are, yet you both reach the same conclusion.
Thanks for the videos. I have Photoshop and have used it for some photo adjustments, but have only used a small part of it. I would find it helpful to know what Photoshop tools you use to make your adjustments.

At 17:54, when mixing the muted green, would the muted color be appropriate for the shadow color in trees (next to the in-light color)?
Wrong question . doesnt matter what colors you use , but how you compare them to each other . Because this is the way ,they start working TOGETHER .
@@ioga1977 Yup, as old Albo once said, in his theories, everything in the Universe is relative; so, I guess that includes painting too!! :D
