Ma'am, I just wanted to say you're so refreshingly sweet and I appreciate you doing this. Thank you. You're a fantastic teacher and you do a really good job explaining in practical ways how to simplify complex concepts I struggle to understand otherwise.
I started painting about 9 months ago (acrylic only so far) and I've been watching your videos since before I ever picked up a brush. Obviously some techniques don't work with acrylics but your explanations and tips really helped with my color mixing and my focus on the "differences in the degrees of value contrast" throughout my paintings. I'll definitely remember your tips if/when I experiment with oils. So thanks Dianne!
Thank you very much mam for your valuable tips...Mam can you please show how to paint, flying dust come out when horses run on sandy ground with light and shadows, in oil medium wet in wet and how to apply brush stroke on the above suject....
Aastick, please see quick tip 133. Dust behaves like fog in that the many tiny particles are obscuring the image. The only difference is how to paint the two are that the color of the dust will be a low saturation version of the color of the dirt.
Thankyou ma’am! And 🙏 please can I make a Quick tip request? I’m having trouble getting a feel for complimentary violet/yellow. Context is I love contrast, and I know when I’ve got the right matches for blue/orange and red/green because I see them paired so often, my eyes go funny where they meet and saturated mixes instantly neutralise to black. But I’m struggling to get the same dazzling effect with my violets and yellows. I think it doesn’t help that I see it so rarely used that way in adverts and bold designs. I can get a brown easily enough, but never a proper grey/black. I see pale neutralised versions in nature all the time, but find it hard to reproduce because I don’t have the feel for it yet. I’m hoping practice makes perfect, but it would be great to have your input, and maybe some suggestions for pigments to try.
Go to Mary Gilkerson's youtube channel. She has a youtube on "Mixing neutrals from yellow and purple." In specific she uses, Dioxazine Violet and both Indian yellow and yellow ochre. The most important thing to know is diox violet is very strong so you need only a little bit to mix into the yellow colors.
Let me add to Lisa's suggestion that adjusting the values so that purple is in the same value range before mixing it with yellow is necessary to control the values of your neutrals. Also, some yellows lean more towards orange, some more towards green, AND some purples lean more towards blue while others lean more towards red. To get a true neutral, the bias of the colors you are mixing needs to be balanced, else the neutral will cause a neutral to either go cooler or warmer.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction thanks! Cool, It sounds like I’m kind of on the right path then, which is reassuring! Like I did try to mix value lines to even out the tones and tinting strengths- so I’m probably just being way too impatient and need to have another go🤣

Thanks, Amber. Keep enjoying the journey.

You bet.

Wonderful video as always Diane!

@@lisafred1362 thanks, I’ll check it out 😀 edit: hmmm, she’s also still getting browns not black.
