Great eye opening for reds! Thanks so much for the guidance and demo. My thoughts after watching your video is to get all the reds I have and experiment with them to see what other combinations I come up with. I think it will be very interesting. Great video! Best wishes.
Great idea.
I never even knew about using a color gradation. thank you
Have fun with it.
I have been struggling with red flowers! Can't wait to try this tip out. Thanks!
Have fun with it.
Great video! Nice to o,ay around with the reds to get a beautiful result. Loved it! Thanks so much! Blessings and be safe.
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for these videos! I'm trying to get into oil painting and this channel has the best instructional resources by far.
Great to hear! Thanks for watching.
Excellent tip, Dianne. I especially liked how you pointed out that what surrounds a particular mixture affects how it appears, reminding us of how (challenging and) versatile color-matching can actually be. Well done.
Thanks.
I always learn so much from these videos. Many thanks!
My pleasure!
Thank you very much,Diane.
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching.
she is the one ...nobody else...thank you madam.
My pleasure.
Sometimes I like to use a light Naples yellow instead of white to mix with red. Of course it can lean orange, but sometimes I look for the warm instead of coolness of white.
Heidi L good observation. Sometimes leaning orange is a good way to indicate bright red as opposed to adding white.
True, but what about those times when those cool, bright pinks pop out? My preference is to control all that sticking with white for raising the value and adjusting the temp according to what is needed.
This is a great tip. I love the way you teach!
I am so grateful that I've just found your channel. Your advice is so good and helpful.
Such a great lesson /I am so thankful for you and your knowledge . more please
Wonderful quick tip Dianne and just in time as I begin work on a bright red Japanese Maple. Thanks so much!
Thank you. You're the greatest.
Very helpful. Thank you Dianne
You are so welcome!
Glad to see another treasure as a qt. Tysm 🌷
🙂
Excellent instruction, as always!
Thanks, Frances.
Wow another gem of painting advice from you Dianne
Thanks, Alka.
I love your teaching🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
This is such useful information! Thanks so much! I struggled with painting poppies. Now I know what to do.
Great!
Thank you very much!!! Always great tips !
My pleasure.
You are brilliant Dianne. This makes so much sense but I wouldn't have thought of it. I try to add blue or some other colour to make red darker and end up with a purple that isn't vibrant. Thank you for another great tip
Thanks, Kathy.
Do you recommend the same approach for watercolour Dianne?@@IntheStudioArtInstruction
Thank you so much for showing how to adjust the various red to give richer values with shadows and highlights. Lovely bright red :) You are amazing!
Ahhhh, thanks.
Very nice lesson...I always learn so much from you. Thank you for the lesson.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Amazing teacher.
😊
Best advice ever! Thanks so much!
My pleasure.
Great lesson again, Dianne! Awesome to learn about the 'poisonous' character of red paint. And how to deal with it!
My pleasure to share.
Thank you Dianne
I love bright red flowers you have saved me much time and frustration.
Great.
you always inspire! very valuable lesson about reds! I will practice!
Thanks. Have fun practicing.
Perfect timing for this video! I did a 10 minute challenge to paint some geraniums earlier lol could have sure used this tip, will def use them on the next one! Thanks Dianne!
Great!
This video is quite timely for me! I've been struggling to paint a lovely redheaded woman and her hair color seems unattainable! Thanks!!!
Have fun with this.
Once again you've solved my conundrum. I was blaming the brand of oils I was using & all the time it was ME, not understanding . Bless you.
Wonderful! Now you can enjoy using reds.
So helpful. Top notch content.
Great. Thanks.
A great video, very informative. Many Thanks
Thanks for watching.
Excellent!
Eye opener!
Great!
You are such a seriously great teacher, thank you. I do watercolor (or really, pretend I do) but so much of the way you explain color theory translates across all mediums.
Yes it does. I consider color theory a part of the composing principles which are universal.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction yes exactly but most people don't explain color theory in a way which is universal. You do!
hello
you really are a very good teacher and I watch your demo s with pleasure. very useful your tip Problem with red. it would be nice if you could do, also one demo with blood red for Gereniums
thanks a lot !!
Love your videos thanks
Thank you for this. I realized with watercolors that opera rose was my friend in regards to getting some brilliant pinks and purples for flowers that I couldn’t get from a traditional limited color pallet. Coming from watercolors, I’m really struggling to find an oil pallet that results in the same or similar colors for botanical paintings that I like to do. Can you do a quick tip on how how to put together a pallet for botanical paintings, especially for someone coming into oils from watercolors?
Please watch Bonus Quick Tip 1 about my watercolor palette. With the greens and blues mixed with the yellows and oranges from that palette, I can get any green I want. For botanicals I would add Daniel Smith's Quinacridone Pink to expand the reds and violets to floral colors we find in nature. Opera is a fugitive color. I would not use it.
Such a good video! Got a poppy painting that could use a rework based on this quick tip. Bright red in flowers can be such a challenge. Thanks!
Instead of reworking, why not paint a new one and have the experience of controlling the reds all the way through.
Thank you. A very nice lesson
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for another great tip. I love your channel. I saw your kitty too !!!! I would love to see you paint kitty :-)
Thanks, and Charley thanks you, too (as does his sister, Lizzy, who is usually taking a nap while we are filming.
Thank you so very much. Your time is valuable to me. I learn from you.
It's a pleasure. Thanks for watching.
LOVE this tip!!!!
Thanks.
When I was painting cars we called that color a candy....like the classic candy apple red ...the way we would get that neon transparent bright colors was using silver then on top we would put the transparent red or yellow, green . The silver had to be dried no mixing...like layering.
That's interesting. Thanks for adding it.
very good demo re reds - thank you.
My pleasure.
Thank you very much ❤️
You're welcome 😊
Very helpful..thank you!
My pleasure.
Thanks. Very usefull video.
My pleasure.
another great lesson...I have a question when mixing colors I usually try just a small amount of paint but when I find the right mix, I find it difficult to create the exact same tone for a large amount of paint. This occurs mostly when I mix skin tones - should I just mix a large amount of paint each time even if I don't end up using the "wrong mixes"
Be away of proportions while mixing the small amounts, then when mixing the larger amounts, be careful not to overmix. It just requires tuning in to what's happening on the palette.
Excellent thanks
My pleasure.
The way I see those flowers is to divide the very light parts from the rest and put cold violet in them, maybe even cold blue. The other parts will be some cold red, but the shadows may be warm red. I mean I will exaggerate. Frequently I love to exaggerate and divide the ligh parts versus the shadows - making the one shadow or light - cold and the other warm. I think this is quite frequent technique. It doesn't gives right colors, but if the values are right it will be OK. To be frankly I want to escape from the real colours even further and exaggerate more, but unique palettes that works in my imagination and in practice are two different things hah
Thanks for sharing your approach.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Howdy! Do you have some tips on how to think such matters actually? For instance Van Gogh often colours whole trees with exaggerated blue contours or quite striking colour combinations in one subject. He was a courageous man, but feels he had also heavy theory behind his choices too!
Gracias
Keep enjoying the journey.
Very interesting lesson. I've had the same issue with acrylics. Do you think the shades of leaf color influence the flower color, as with other subject matter? Thanks for suggestions to correct this issue!
Actually, the same problem exists with any medium that requires adding white to lighten.
I needed this video, I was painting very dull tomatoes!thank you! .Please, could you tell me the brand of the naphtol red?I think is a good medium red and not so agressive as the cadmium red I have .In Germany we have Schminke und Lucas as the dominant brands and they do not have this red, I will try to find it online, if you could help with the brand name.Thank you again for the fabulous instruction.
On line Utrecht has Napthol Red Light (which I used here) - www.utrechtart.com/Oil-Paint-Paint,Utrecht.utrecht
This justifies my collection of reds 😂 I love botanicals and never use just one red. I tend to use 4 different reds and mix them for what I want. I started with watercolors for years then to other mediums. Still, I keep my collection of reds instead of just the light and cool variation. The quinacranones and trans oxides are fun to experiment with. I even used a trans oxide maroon from lascaux (a close out find) that I adore for darks. I think Daniel smith and M Graham have equivalents.
Thanks for adding this info.
I have a question about Viridian. Both Gamblin and Rembrant have pg18. What is the difference between the two?
The pigment number never tells the full story. How the pigment is ground and combined with the binder makes the difference. My experience with comparing the two is that Rembrant's version has more depth.
can you paint flowers in monochrome? and which colours are best for monochromatic painting?
Of course you can. You can choose any color your like, depending upon whether you interpretation you like.
Ahh Haa haa! I love it. I know it.. "That's the problem with red." 👍😉
😉
Maybe the viewer should try a quin magenta, magenta ink is what the printer uses.
I live with bougainvilleas and their colour is truely out there.
Yes, Quinacridone Magenta is one possibility. Let's not forget, though, that the ink in a printer is a different technology from pigments we use for painting.
I think you'll be able to reach the brightness and create all reds with Quinacridone Magenta.
Not quite. Quinacridone Magenta leans towards violet, so it won't give the really high chroma red oranges.
Excellent video! I think it would be a good idea to put your website link in the description it would help with search engine optimization because you would have multiple youtube videos linking back to your site.
Thanks for that suggestion, Paul.
Excellente expérience, qui je pense s'applique également à l'aquarelle...en remplaçant évidemment le blanc par de l'eau? merci pour ce tuto formatif et bonne journée
Right. It only applies to white pigment added to red. It's the particle of white that changes the character of red. But water doesn't do that.
Maybe conacadom red some white with a touch of celerium blue...
There are a number of possible combinations.
You’re a treasure!
I agree. She sure is!!!
Thanks to both of you.
What can I say? Thank you ❤️.
My pleasure.
Red is tricky, most of what you see is purple.
...or orange.
Can't get them red enough? Try mud with pinch of red.
The tiny bit of red you put on the canvas is too far away to see ! Move the camera closer so we can see. You pull the same stunt every video I watch and you go on and on. It would be better to paint bigger patches of the various colours BEFORE you start the video and then you'll get finished in about 7 mins instead of 15 mins
Kind regards - Chris in Thailand
It's always nice to have a director on set. We appreciate your suggestions.
