Just some friendly corrections: transparent colors don't have less tinting strength than opaque colors. Its entirely dependent on what pigment is being used - for example, Pthalo Blue, Pthalo Green, Quinacridone Magenta, and Dioxazine Purple are all transparent/semi-transparent but have high to extremely high tinting strength. The Cadmium colors have moderate tinting strength, not high, as there are several opaque/semi-opaque spectrum warm colors with much higher tinting strength like the Pyrrole and Naphthol pigments.
I will never how understand how somebody could view ultramarine as warm. It's one of the coldest colors on my palette. It doesn't lean red, it leans violet - there is a big difference.
This has been the most helpful tutorial I have watched and I have watched a lot of them! I especially appreciate the explanation of why you do things a certain way. I have been watercolor painting for almost 40 years but have inherited my moms oils and acrylics which opens a whole new world to me.
Kim, Thank you so much for your exceptional demo! With "one" demo (only) you've demonstrated a lot of methods and fundamentals of painting! (1000,0000+ of WOWsss!). Best Regards.
Wow that was great... it is amazing artists that initial rough sketch and values can lead to such a breath taking painting... even better than the reference photos. I can stand and look at it every day if it was in my living room :). Beautiful!!! Thank you Kim.
The fumes, the hydrocarbons, still fill the room but the odor does not. Odorless does not mean harmless. Treat odorless solvent the same as regular solvent. Open a window.
Thank you Kim, have a question that leads to another question! - how do you do your color study so precisely that becomes the color guideline for the actual painting? do you usually paint a couple of small color studies and pick one at the end?

I pity her students, those that may be young and beginners. How are they going to make sense of so many intermediate steps and so many confusing lines and washes and values and changes, only for her to blur things up again, in the name of 'drawing by wiping out, re-drawing, re-working, working in reverse, pre-work, value-study, under-study' and whatnot. It's a landscape at the end of the day, whose colours are not an exact science! Oils, especially the cadmiums, are toxic, as are the various 'helpers' - the mineral spirits, the gels, the solvents that will be required to clean the brushes. Btw, you don't need a big bunch of brushes, and the more 'odourless' the spirits, the more harmful. Thousands of painters have ended up with cancer. Young students will be better advised to take up acrylics, and even better, watercolour. We may have to spend a few months learning the technique, but the freshness of a well-made watercolour, the money and health saved by using more water than paint, not to mention the fact that it does not foul up the environment, including the groundwater, makes it well worth the effort.
Loved seeing how she mixed colors. Wish we had been able to see her paint in real time.
WOW!!!! watching Kim mix her colors is a lesson in patience and tenacity!!well done THANK yOU!!

Such a useful demo, learned so much about mixing colors and how to handle values and lay in. Great video!
Thank you Kim for showing us your process. I'd love to see how you execute plein air:) Cheers!

this was a real learning curve --thanks Kim
Hello from beautiful Phoenix, Arizona! 🌵
Love this video . Her work and explanation in terrific
Wow that was great... it is amazing artists that initial rough sketch and values can lead to such a breath taking painting... even better than the reference photos. I can stand and look at it every day if it was in my living room :). Beautiful!!! Thank you Kim.
Thank you Kim I absolutely loved the video !! I learned so much I can't wait to put it in practice!! And thank you so much for the uh huh moment!!!
I loved this. Thank you. Funny how her last name is like a case of beer. She’s a real pro. I really did love this video
i found an artist that video tapes what he is painting ...he now has an exact time/light/atmosphere stamp of his time painting.
I am in Surrey, UK and enjoying this video very much
Fantastic video. Thank you for posting it.
Our pleasure, Cheryl. Happy you enjoyed it. :)
Oderless does not mean there are no fumes. You should keep a lid on it until you need it.
The fumes, the hydrocarbons, still fill the room but the odor does not. Odorless does not mean harmless. Treat odorless solvent the same as regular solvent. Open a window.
Thanks from San Francisco, Ca.
Thank you for sharing .
Thank you.
Fantastic!
Excellent artist n gorgeous demo....love from Pakistan.
Thank you Kim, have a question that leads to another question! - how do you do your color study so precisely that becomes the color guideline for the actual painting? do you usually paint a couple of small color studies and pick one at the end?
Hi from Ontario 👋
Wonderful information! Thank you!
Wow 😍😍 thanks for the vid
Amazing artist
I'm lookinng for a bumper sticker that says, "I brake for scenery!"
thank for video
Thank you!
Thank you from North Adams, MA
Great work #artistmurlinath
What size is your canvas, please?
Hi Brook! Kim is using 18x18 single oil-primed linen panel.
@@artschoollive Thank youFor the info and for all the invaluable sharing!!
Why don’t you use watermixable oilpaint ? In stead of using miniral spirit as medium?
@@sandeshborlikar9822 It is not safe .
Water mixable is not nearly as permanent as oil.
Thank you Kim, really enjoyed your video. I assume you did the colour study in situ En Plein Air ? Do you pre colour mix the same way in the field?
I wondered that too.
i am from pakistan and that u forthis free video

13 colors mean to lazy to color mix. Teaching should use limited pallet.
