Jean, you inspire me beyond words. My style is soft and impressionistic, often florals and pinks/greens/blues. Your paintings and lovely encouraging words have made me feel brave enough to experiment with colours and textures in the darker, sometimes moody tones that you love so much. It has been VERY EXCITING to try new combinations and the results are so mesmerizing. As they all say here in the comments, THANK YOU JEAN!!! You are a master, a guru, a true artist with a perspective that is so engaging!!
Love the green gold. Thanks for the idea of mixing the black into another color to get the best feature of each. Can’t wait to try this myself. Love your work.
I labour over a painting for hours and make a mess of it. Then I see how quickly you work and how lovely it comes out!! I need to learn to relax and be a bit more free. 😂
I LOVE lunar black, haha! It's great for mixing with other colors, and rocks, mountains, cliffs, and shadows, etc. It disperses and flows and granulates great! It's a new color, to me, so I'm kind of on a lunar black kick right now :)
This is such a beautiful combination of colors Jean and the granulation and texture is awesome. I wanted to ask you the dagger brush you used is also the Black Velvet brush and what size? Thank you!
just rewatching this one. considering recreating it - sort off I mean. but then I was wondering, how does one try to make this abstract and colour-intense painting still a bit more dimensional? how could that work, without ruining the colour effect?
I love this style of loose painting and seeing how beautiful paintings can be with just a few colors. Thanks for sharing and giving us helpful tips. (One thing I'm hoping you can discuss sometime is how does one know what colors might chemically react together. I know some colors to be careful of individually when exposed to light (PB27, PO64 etc.) but how about when one starts mixing colors even within a so-called great palette choice of warm/cool primary colors etc? I wonder chemically what happens then....thanks very much. I hope it's acceptable to ask this question here.
do you know, how to create granulation by mixing colours, in case one doesn't have a particularly granulating paint? I do have some hot press paper (that I couldn't handle well till now). maybe that would help. I once played around with loosely mixed colours and found, they can look like they are granulating by desing. but I don't remember, which ones. I wonder, if there is a kind of pattern, how one can recreate that effect, whitout testing every single colour in all combinations :-D if you know of something like that, I would be happy to learn about it (I guess at one point I will get some extra granulating anyway. but I need to wait for a few month and that is a long time - for me ;-)
I just adore your vision, color choices, and freedom!! I dream of being able to paint a landscape like you do!! Curious about the indigo/lunar black mixture...do you feel it is extremely similar to blue apatite Genuine?
I love your videos. I'm 67 years young and did my first 'painting' 2 weeks ago and it wasn't too bad. Encouraged by my first ever creation I tried another wet in wet masterpiece. WHAT WENT WRONG? The paper was still soaking after 9 (yes ... NINE DAYS!) I wonder if it was the salt I sprinkled onto the canvas. When I tried to remove the surrounding tape after trying to dry it on a lamp shade the tape took off the paper! After 2 hours on top of the lamp shade the middle section was crinkled but dry ... the next morning it was really damp again ... soggy would be a better word! I used proper artists 2 inch wide tape and a top notch brand of 140 pound watercolour paper. I've watched countless videos on UA-cam over the last few months and finally decided it was time to put brush to canvas. Help!!!!!
That's one of the strangest things I've ever heard. What brand of paper did you use? Maybe you need to try a different brand. Never heard of paper still being wet after nine days.
I Love how confident you work with the colors!
That green gold is a dream!
I love these colors also

Lunar black isn’t dulling at all even if used by itself. It makes beautiful stormy skies. Nice granulating paints you used here :)
Thank you!
Thank you for posting this, as always, you inspire me to experiment - I need this reminder now and then :)
Very nice!

C'est magnifique 🥰

Hi Jean, so glad we discovered your profile! Love the colour palette you chose :)) - Beatrice from ZenART Supplies
This is such a beautiful combination of colors Jean and the granulation and texture is awesome. I wanted to ask you the dagger brush you used is also the Black Velvet brush and what size? Thank you!
It's from Cheap Joes and comes in a pack of three. The one I use most is #1 which is the finest.

I don't think they are that similar Barbara. At least not the way I use each of those colors.
