Very glad your paint brand is continuing.
Just fyi, I know you love the art supply business and it shows in the quality you produce (I want EVERYTHING), BUT, I think your UA-cam content is every bit as valuable and differentiated if not more so. The demos, build instructions, mixing; I have rewatched your videos more than any other instructor. I'm so glad you are posting regularly again.
The naked eye deceives, colour checking doesn't.
I learnt it the hard way.
Thanks Mark, you are the best. 😎👍
Feels good to see the unfinished piece and think 'that's spot on, the white just makes it look darker than it is' and then hearing you verify that.
Glad your paint making is back, just wish it was available in the UK.
do they not ship to there?
Love this channel. Wish you would just do some long format of you painting. No need for a lot of talk but just painting. One of the best resources on YT right here!
He used to sell tutorials you could just pay and download it, i bought one many years ago of him painting his wife, shame it was on an old hard drive.
You paint the foreground vase first? Why not paint the background first? Then the shading wouldn't look so dark? Still color-checking, of course.
I paint an approximation of the values of the background with a big brush and diluted paint, and comeback to it after painting the subject. (Sometimes I switch between background and subject back and forth tbh)
@ignacio4719
That sounds like a better method. Do you have to wait for the background to dry before you paint the final, correct values and colors ?
The problem with this method is that it wouldn't work if I only had enough time for one object.
@@Ty-1452 you don't need the background to dry, you just paint your object with a little bit of backround around it. This has two advantages : first, it will help you to judge the colour of the objet, second, it will allow you to blend the background with the rest of the artwork when you come back. (If you would to paint only the object and then paint the background, you would have a hard time making natural and smooth edges.)
Thanks Mark you for giving good tips on oil painting!
Your UA-cam videos are amazing! I've watched all of them, and I've rewatched numerous videos multiple times. Your tips and explanations are so helpful. And thank you for your easily understandable English. Thank you so much! With the very best wishes from Germany!
Bonjour Mark. Vidéo très intéressante ! Merci ! Greetings from France !
Great advice AND great paint! I will be showing a professor/friend the Geneva palette I use this weekend. I told him about it and he is looking to try limiting his colors and get into mixing more.
So happy to hear about your paint line continuing!! I want to buy the full pallette pack once you restock. ❤
Wow. It is deceiving indeed. Thanks again for the reminders. My background is originally as a photographer And this is part of the illusion one must be aware of. It can also be used as a tool. Thanks Mark for starting up the series again.. I always enjoy new content and discussions. Your oration is excellent. I believe I'll finally have the time to now start up painting again - and look forward to your guidance. Keep up the excellent work! (question: do you do any water scenes or seascapes?)
great advice.. I have suffered with this... many thanks...
Thanks Mark 🙏🏼
I was taught it's not about the product but the process. Thanks for the informative video.
Thank you for this😊
This is excellent advice, just what I needed to hear. Thanks
Beautiful.😍🤩
Thank you.
We are not always aware of how we are being deceived by our eyes and brains. But it should be clear that you should always follow a good method or you won't get anywhere.
Wooohoooo restock of paint!! Im gonna by
Aaaaw new video😍
One thing I was surprised to learn is how dark light blue eyes are in real life. Much darker than you'd think when painting them.
Is that why when you when watch artists begin a painting they often paint the whole canvas a different colour all over first and when they do the painting that colour is not anywhere to be seen . Instead of painting directly on white ? I have seen that happen often when watching people on yourube or TV's Britains Portrait artist of the year in the UK is that better than painting directly on to white . I have often wondered why they do that .
👍
Color exists in context. Yep. You're right. Optical illusions are a bear. Checking is only way to ɓe in the ballpark.
It’s like pulling teeth to get my students to block in their entire painting before applying smaller areas of value.😊
Yes. Some colors will darkin or lighten after they dry..
Aren't laminated photo is kind of a cheating? in a way that you don't really learn how to blend those colors without it
Dear Mark , I sent you massage on Instagram but idk if you still using it . Best Regards
