Trends! An ubiquitous tendency among art critics is to grab on to some characteristic that folks admire and make a dogma out of it. We have to watch out for that.
I suppose I’ve heard all 4 of these tips at one point or another, but never together as combined tips to paint more confidently/painterly. I look forward to practicing this. Thank you!
Thank you for the videos, I stumble on you as I was flicking through the list of UA-cam videos and thank goodness I found you! Ive never really understood about loose and painterly or stiff painting, and the use of fewer brush strokes, I was counting them all wrong, but I better understand it now. Cheers!
Thank-you so much for your excellent instructions and the inspiring demonstration. I'm a watercolourist (tight and controlled!) starting into acrylic painting and wanting so badly to loosen up. You showed me how I can start doing just that. Love the "10 strokes" approach--no over-working!
This is soooo helpful Dianne!👍 You are by far my favourite you tube art instructer!👌 I'm thankful to God that I have found you!🙂 take care and stay safe 💐
you are soooo adorable!. I would love to watch you everyday for painting motivation, which i need daily. Also, you are such a great teacher . Much love
Hi , I am so glad to have found you on you tube. I am an amateur painter and just can not get enough of people’s work. However I have watched several of your demonstrations and I am sure I will learn a great deal from them. Thank you .
Hello Diane. Although I mostly paint in watercolor, I always learn something from you. Thank you so much. Overworking kills any watercolor painting, so your exercise is helpful to us watercolor artists and to help anyone paint more expressively and with confidence.
I found this video super helpful. As a beginner, it is easy to overwork a piece trying to get it to look like the reference. This is an excellent practice that when you finish your ten strokes, you're done. Helps you to plan out what parts of the pic you want to paint to make it look realistic such as the shadowing.
Having only started to create/paint three years ago (57 years old). I was faced with a compliment just last week, someone who I have never met before sent me a wonderful message. She wrote saying that she felt the need to contact me and tell me that I have “obvious painterly intelligence”. Now, being new to painting, I hadn’t a clue really want she meant, so, I checked it out, which made alot of sense to me. Everything is connected and now I have stubbled across this wonderful explanatory tutorial. Thank you. 💖
I like that you recognize that there are different styles and ways of painting. I get an impression from many instructors that they believe their way of painting is the only correct way.
Thank you again wanted you to know I make sure I'm up by 430 am every morning just so I can wach some of your videos on painting and after that I paint intell 730 off to work thank you very big help and a wonderful teacher
I find your videos so exciting and useful. With almost no art training, seeing how you use the brush to make a stroke is so important. Your delivery and teaching style are wonderful. Thank you for giving us the really basic basics. I have taken some adult painting classes and have been so disappointed when they say take your paint and paint this. The paint marks look just awful. Now I know why.
Thank you so much! I need to loosen up and can’t wait to try this. You are an awesome teacher! I love your tips! And you are as sweet as pie, by the way. KK, from Alabama.
Thank you for this Practical exercise. That is my goal to paint in the Molina painterly style. Lay down the paint and let it go. I have noticed when I have done this, my paintings have been better and I don't overdo.
Not just a quick tip but a great tip thankyou Dianne😊 i recently painted 2 small canvas limiting myself to a set time for each and it was honestly so enjoyable, the 2 little paintings were more lively and painterly and in some ways so much better than some paintings i spent 5 times as long on. It was a revelation to me .
Are you on my mailing list? I do have 170 lessons on the website, as well as monthly online workshops. Go to www.diannemize.com and see what all is available.
This was so interesting and funny, very good for moments of no painting mojo I think, it revives the process .Please Diane, could you speak more about the backgrounds from Richard Schmid still lives?I can not understand how he uses lots of color there, but so welll that the background beeing colorful and busy does not steals the viewer attention from the main object.Thanks
Muhlenstedt, because Richard Schmid's paintings are under copyright, I cannot show them without written permission from him. However, I can speak to his still life backgrounds here. If you study his backgrounds closely, you will notice that when they ARE colorful, he has used colors from the still life subject itself. (Not many of his still life paintings are available on his website www.richardschmid.com/Articles.asp?ID=254 , but you can see what I'm referring to by looking at those featured. ) Richard is a master of color. You'll notice that where backgrounds are colorful. the values are close and the intensity muted. You'll also notice that for the most part, his strong value contrasts are in the subject, not the background. Hope this helps.
In the Studio Art Instruction thank you very much, you have an structured way of seeing and thatis what I was missing in my own observations.We wish Richard Schmid a longer and productive life.have a great weekend Diane!

Thank God. Someone finally that has thought deeply about this subject and exposes the painterly tyranny.

Love this demo! Such a good reminder for covering a canvas with minimal brush strokes. Second time watching this. Thank you again!
Always a pleasure.
Somebody make this viral please. I love her.
😊
I feel bless to have found this today!
What a wonderful teacher.
Thank you so so much for doing your videos.

Enjoy!
Great exercise ! I think I could turn this into a daily morning warm-up, like a new habit to build up skills, thank you for the demo !☺
What a great idea.
Excellent idea.
I do that
Agree. At first I was skeptical. Now I'm a convert. Thanks, Dianne!
You are an amazing teacher. Thank you
Thank YOU!
Excellent teacher. Best I’ve seen!
Wow!
Thank you again, you AWESOME Teacher. Love watching your painting classes.
Thanks, Johnny.
You’ve been a tremendous help to me with all of your videos. Thank you so much for everything you do!
It's my pleasure. Thanks for watching.

I'm glad you found us, too. Thanks for watching.

Welcome aboard. I, too, am glad you found us.
Excellent lesson! Thank you!!
What a fantastic exercise! I think I am going to do one of these a day and I’m sure it will change the way I paint. Thanks so much Dianne.
There's no time like the present 😊
That was such helpful instruction. Your experience is golden. It's such a pleasure to learn from your quick tips. Thank you and blessings.
Thanks. It's a pleasure to share.
Thank you so much. I just discovered your tutorial videos. Going to try this and load more paint on the brush and use less strokes.
Try doing lots of practice studies so that this becomes automatic.
What a wonderful teacher. You are so sweet. Thank you Diane.
Thank you, Allen. I love doing these.
Thank-you so much for your excellent instructions and the inspiring demonstration. I'm a watercolourist (tight and controlled!) starting into acrylic painting and wanting so badly to loosen up. You showed me how I can start doing just that. Love the "10 strokes" approach--no over-working!
Wonderful. The 10 Stroke exercise works well with any medium.
I love this and your channel. I’m binging them nonstop ☺️♥️🙏🏼 thank you
Yay! Thank you!
I have also found my Guru. Very impressed with this video and you answered my big question. Nailed it. A new fan here. Thank you, Dianne.
My pleasure. I'm delighted my answer was helpful.
You are so generous and enjoyed by me. Your tips have helped me very much. Thanks.

Wow, thank you!
you are soooo adorable!. I would love to watch you everyday for painting motivation, which i need daily. Also, you are such a great teacher .
Much love
Thank you so much!
Yes you are right. The goal is to put life into the painting, and your teaching is great. Thanks a lot.
Thanks. I think every master painter agrees that the life of the painting is more important than making it look photographic.
This makes sense! Thank you. I've not been able to wrap my brain around what makes "painterly" look painterly. This is helpful.
Wonderful.
I know that's an area I need - going to try it right now - thanks for the fun quick tip, Dianne!
Do many!
I enjoyed that exercise and will employ that as I learn to oil paint! Thank you.
Happy painting!
Hi , I am so glad to have found you on you tube. I am an amateur painter and just can not get enough of people’s work.

Great. No matter what material we use, some principles are universal. Overworking is one of them.
Thanks a great refresher, always good to take in your demos
My pleasure.
What a great response. Exactly what I've been looking for!
Wonderful!
Love your videos! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and ideas.

I'm trying this tomorrow. Thank you for being such a great artist and great teacher! I
Have fun with it.

Excellent! I will watch this again and look for more videos by this teacher!👩🎨🎨🖼️❤

Thank you madam, always a pleasure to watch from a powerhouse of experience in painting. May we continue to get tips on problem areas...God bless!

I am delighted.
Brilliant exercise, will definitely try it today! Thanks so much!
You're so welcome! Have fun with it.
I like that you recognize that there are different styles and ways of painting. I get an impression from many instructors that they believe their way of painting is the only correct way.
Thanks, Michael. Looking at painting historically will, within itself, prove those instructors wrong.
What a great lessen and demonstration! Thank you very much.
Hope you'll try out this exercise.

This is also a great lesson for non-starters like me to get a start. I feel like, after a long time off, I could tackle this!
It's a great way to warm up or to break through a painter's block.
I'm looking forward to trying the 10 quick strokes lesson tomorrow :) thanks for your lessons!
You will have fun doing this exercise.
