Diane -I so appreciate your generous teaching and and ability to explain with such clarity. I hope you know how special you are!
Wow, thank you!
I'm loving this channel. You explain things so clearly and the videos are just the right length for quick review.
Thanks, MC. It's a pleasure creating these.
Enjoy you so much. I have been painting from the age of 8, but love to continue to learn. You by far are the most informative teacher I have ever had. Thank you so much.
Thanks! It's a pleasure doing these.
I enjoy your videos so much! You are a delight to watch and learn from. Thank you for putting yourself out there and sharing your wisdom with us.
It's my pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Excellent examples of orange and how light reflection plays a huge role. I love watching you teach! Every quick tip is useful in my beginning journey as an oil painter. Thank you.
You are so welcome! Enjoy the journey!
Ahh, I wish you were my own personal teacher Dianne. Do you and your husband plan to move to Scotland anytime soon?! 🏴😆 Thank you *so much* for all the knowledge you've shared with us. It's truly invaluable. 🌟
Sara, Scotland is on my bucket list.
Thank you Diane once again. You certainly have a knack for explaining art techniques. I have a passion for looking at the hue of colour on anything.
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching.
I'm always glad to have tips on color, since, weirdly enough, even though I'm an artist, I have trouble "seeing" the true colors. Getting better, though. Thank you, Dianne!
Why not try switching the way you look at color towards asking questions about its hue, its value and its saturation. We will focus on whatever our mind is thinking, so if we focus more specifically with a question rather than an assumption, we are more likely to see what's there.

@@IntheStudioArtInstruction I will definitely try to put that into practice, Dianne!
Your just brilliant Diane! Thank you for this quick tip, so helpful.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Thank you! This was so helpful and exactly what I needed to see today 😊
Have fun with it.
One of your best Quick Tips!
Thanks.
Thank you ! IF you were to block in the color for each of these… how much of your blocking in includes these hue changes? For the first one -- I’d be apt to use the orange color without highlights and shadows .. then on my second pass I’d change the hue to reflect the shadow and light. What do you do? Thank you
Kleen, the block in places the general color and value areas. In my block-ins, I include variations in colors as well as values, but save any specifics and details until the fine-tuning.
Thanks . Step by step color mixing can be achieved with a little patience.
...and the right focus of attention.
Great lesson 👍 ☺
Thanks.
It's an extreme example but the way I think of it is the color of my car. I know it to be midnight blue but late in the evening it looks black and if the sun is in the right position the reflections make it look white. It's not what you know, it's what you see, and what you see can even change over time as well.
Yes. The kind of light effects the color you see, but the local color itself is where it begins.
I love your teaching
Thank you! 😃
A really important lesson for me, merci beaucoup
My pleasure. Have fun with it.
HI Quick Tip Team,. Congrats on so many followers. I have a question about the lighting your using. It seems there is a colour temp change between close up and longer shots. One also appears darker than the other. I was also curious, the close up is usually not as in focus. Before I go on, I adore your videos and learn so much from them. That's the reason I am bringing these points to you. Not sure if you guys see it the way I do. NO worries though, I am not going away lol... Canada loves you
Thank you for your observations and being a subscriber. We have experienced some malfunctions with one of our cameras and just received a new camera today. We feel that this $2,100.00 investment will correct the color temperature problem (fingers crossed) and the out of focus issue. We are producing these free instructional videos on a shoestring budget so likes, shares, comments and memberships help in improving the channel. If you watch our videos from 8 years ago you will notice how far we have come.
We love Canada as well!

I would love to see a quick tip on those little extra pushes toward realism from cartoony.
Thanks, Amanda. That one might be fun to squeeze a Quick Tip out of.
Is there a Quick Tip on twilight and/or night paintings?
Yes. See Quick Tip 128.
