I have a Summer Green Memory forever emblazened in my mind. I was calmly waiting for the Light Rail on 9th Street in Hoboken, NJ. I looked directly across the platform and there it was! The side of the hill. Full of life and sunshine! The vegetation was reaching out towards the sun. Their little arms outstretched slowly blowing in the gentle breeze rocking from left to right. I dreaded the oncoming train, knowing the moment would soon be gone forever. Many times i have looked toward that side of the hill, over and over again, but i never saw the greens look like that ever again. It was a moment in time that was a Gift. I knew that then, but i could not articulate that in my simple mind. But i knew enough to do my darndest to never forget that visul.image, that stopped me dead in my tracks. I will never forget those 10 seconds of pure beauty as long as i live!
Thank you, you really clarify some of the most important foundational aspects of creating beautiful paintings!
You're welcome Gerri
You are a good teacher and I thank you for sharing your knowledge online!
You are very welcome
Thanks for all the time and effort you put into all your videos. Always very informative and helpful.
Robert Page Thanks Robert, glad there helpful!
Thanks for the pamphlet!
My pleasure!
What an amazing teacher! So much good information. Thank you.
Thanks MT
Thanks Phil that was so helpful to have you walk me through the paintings. And point out what we are seeing. This is a video to watch a few times over time where I will be able to extract new info each time as my perception is ready for it.
Thanks Elsa, glad the videos are helpful.
BTW, the paintings that Mr. Starke is pointing out are very beautiful and they are extrememly great samples that prove his points so well.. thank you for the little green pamphlet that we can download for Free..See..? Some of the Best things in life are still FREE!
Phil this reminds me of the time we visited Ireland (2007) and our tour guide said "we have 40 shades of green here". So if painting there be prepared to do a lot of mixing!! LOL. Here in Tucson we have 40 shades of green too, but they are mostly some shade of gray or brown! Good stuff here, thanks. :D
My wife and I hope to go to Ireland in the near future so I will have to wrap my head around greens. Your right about Tucson, shades of grey.
@@philstarkestudio Yes, you'll love it for painting! Quaint and beautiful subjects everywhere, same in Scotland which was on our trip too!! Ireland more "developed"; Scotland more "wild" landscapes!!
Tucson was very, very HOT and that was 20 years ago. I doubt there's anything green left there anymore..
@@robertafierro5592 yes, it is hot here, June to early September; since we've had "global warming" from the last ice age, so we are used to it now. But this past year we had an unusual amount of rain, both in summer and in winter, even some snow on nearby Catalina mountains. So, it is now greener than I've seen it since coming here and living here, Tucson area, since the early 2000's. They local weather people say it's due to "climate change" so I say yes bring it on, ...wetter, cooler, and greener in AZ. We're happy!! LOL ;D
I missed your UA-cam videos for a while & am so pleased to find you again. Thank you so much for sharing your vast knowledge. You decipher each painting so clearly, peppered with a little history. I am so thankful.
thank you
You're welcome Kathleen
Great videos Phil, even when you know all this information, it pays to reiterate it again and again and again. I don't think Sisley would have used black; a few of the impressionists used black on occasion in the early days (including Monet), but they nearly all dispensed with it. They had Viridian (the tubes of Viridian I buy also say 'emerald green' on the tube, but I think in those days Emerald Green was a different variety of green paint at their disposal), chrome yellow was also a popular choice mixed with prussian blue, cobalt blue or cerulean (the latter becoming available from 1860 onwards) for various greens. I think these days you can only really buy chrome yellow hue - if I recall correctly I don't think it's particularly archival. They'd usually soak the oil out of their paints using something like newspaper to get more of that dry brush and matt finish, but despite that the galleries would varnish their paintings against their wishes. Sisley never got much recognition during his life time and was constantly struggling to keep his head above water... Anyway I digress.
Thanks Gavin, your right they did dispense with black pretty early. The lack of oil and varnish will destroy the paintings, good thing the galleries varnished them. Fechin had the same wish, keep his paintings unvarnished which can cause the paint to deteriorate faster
Great video thanks... can you mention about effects of geographic location, 4 seasons, day time on light/shadow warmt/colors in landscape painting (and greens)
MELIH GUMUSCAY I will keep that in mind Melinda, thanks
I think that I really needed this, colour temperature and value to remind me to pay attention to my composition. Also the use of complimentary colours while still maintaining temp and value. This was a very good valuable video. Check out A.J. Casson a Canadian Artist his greens are amazing. Thanks again for the great work.
Thank you for A.j. Casson - i really liked his bluegreen Oil painting 🎶🩵🎵💚
Talking about the actual.COLOR of summer greens, i would think of a Cintron Yellow, some Goldenrod and some Deep
Purples and very dark Blue for shadows..
the black shadows are indicitive of painting from photographs.
I paint out side evey morning. Bit green has been posing a great challenge these days. I get do overwhelmed.
Sameeha Khaliq If you don’t go into it with the idea of simplifying the shapes, values and colors it can be overwhelming.
@@philstarkestudio how to integrate values of green? Intact when I paint outside it seems colours seem dull on bringing home. And at home I refreash colours that seem bearable. Is it happen with everyone?
@@sameehakhaliq8327 your pupils close up outside so color can be pushed to compensate, especially for vivid colors like spring or summer greens. But I prefer muted color not strong saturated color that may make a picture too "sweet"! The thing is everyone's eye's do the same thing, just walking around in the sunlight, cuz our star's light is so intense and brilliant here on this planet, and that's why muted colors look more "realistic" to most folks!
Do you ever use black and ochre for greens
The only time I use black is when I substitute blue for black and just use yellow black and red. Usually I use cad.yellow light and black, its a bit stronger. But black can be very effective when I want a more muted painting.
Heh, those California hills are ochre in the summer.
Do you use sap green?
No, I use ultramarine blue and yellow or thalo blue and yellow for a stronger green. And there is always Viridian and yellow. I haven’t ever used sap green.
@@philstarkestudio I like viridian as a "starting point" to be modified "without mercy", and also makes a good 7-9 "black" with cad red. I need anything to help shave a minute or so off time outside when painting!
A shadow is never black. Its a combo of a lot of colors..i know nothing about painting. I really dont. Hes such a good teacher, isnt he? Dont let anyone knock him..
It aint easy being green
Painterly Brushes Its hard to paint green and to be green.
@@philstarkestudio sometimes it hard to paint green and not also be green! :D
I really apreciate the different examples you have chosen e.g. The high key Australien painter (name?) so it would be very helpfull if you had the names of the artists written in the introduktion notes or maybe as a PDF that could be downloaded. 🎵🩵💚🎶😊and I loved the John N King example with the very high key summer greens - it was just so beautifull 🙏thank you for Great inspiration
Your welcome, the Australian artist is Arthur Streeton
