Thank you so much for your teaching this old dog new tricks.
You bet!
Thanks, Dianne for talking about and demonstrating the various aspects of a subject such as gradation. So often something like that gets into one limited lump for me and it helps to break it down, so that this skill can be used in a variety of ways. Also, it help those of us who need to be told repeatedly. LOL
I often wonder by these basic skills are a major part of every beginning painting class.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Not having had formal training I didn't find this particular element ever covered in the many workshops I attended.
So glad you didn’t give up teaching completely. I’m excited to watch all your videos
I smile.
Always the best at simple helpful explanations. Thank you.
Thanks.
Excellent lessons! Thank you for doing your demos in real-time and describing each step so clearly.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for these so helpful explanations !!
You're so welcome!
I Love your tips!! I was unable to paint for a while yet once I began watching your videos again, I can’t wait to return to painting!
Happy painting!
Excellent Dianne, thank you.
My pleasure.
Always informative , thanks Dianne.
Thanks, Alan.
Thanks for the tips! This video came at the perfect time for me. I am just now learning how to oil paint. Taking Oil painting 1 at university & this was one thing that I was struggling with
I am delighted to be of help.
Thanks Dianne. ..God bless you
Thanks, Alka.
Thank you Diane!
My pleasure.
Wonderful. Thank you. I’m heading there now.
Have fun!
Thank you for this video. Just that one little section, in which you accidentally backed up too far and made the dark blue too light, made me realize one of my own errors. Then you fixed it with just a clean brush, which again was so easy and effective. 💗
I think it's a good thing for my UA-cam audience to see me flub up. Thanks for pointing that out.
Thanks Dianna, you are amazing teacher. I’m starting a cracking Colour code course with you. I will be very happy to be able to draw ✍️ one day
Great! Have fun with cracking the color code. I look forward to working with you.
Very helpful. Thank you.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Thank u 😊 great trip
My pleasure 😊
This is excellent and very helpful. Question re last example showing intense red neutralized by the green, if one were trying to maintain the same value while gradating toward neutral, would you have added white into the blending progression to yield a neutral of the same value as the initial red?
This one is tricky, Grant. White contributes to neutrality, so yes, but carefully. Ideally, one would add a lighter tube color of a lighter value, but those are rarely available.
Thank you very much! Like.
My pleasure.
thanks!!!
*Excellent video subjects.*
Glad you like them!
I've had trouble with this, thanks for the great demo. Your quick tips are so helpful! Do you ever use a mop brush to blend? I'm wondering how this is done. It never seems to work for me.
I don't find the mop brush especially effective for blending. I do use it to soften edges by gently sweeping it over the edge areas a couple of times. Perhaps this would make a good quick tip.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction what is a mop brush?
Thank you very much, great and helpful information. Are you using oil or acrylic? If acrylic, how are you keeping it from drying so fast?
I'm using oils here. Get more info about my palette at Quick Tip 172 - ua-cam.com/video/qre6FyJN5kU/v-deo.html
Dear Dianne, watching this tip and also the previous video on luminosity , and your post on how to change a blah photo to a pleasing painting, I understand that we can change colors of source to create a more expressive painting . Am I right ? By the way I feel addicted to see you every Wednesday now . Loves.
Yes, Reza. A part of what we artists do is to use nature as a reference for creative expression.
How weird I’ve been looking into this today!!!! And wow here you are...thankyou
Great timing! Glad you found it.
Super good
Thanks
Hi Dian, Thank you so for sharing your valuable knowledge with us. I have a question about this video. Don't you think we need consider the temprature of the color for smooth blending!?..as it seems to me that green and blue are not blending well because yellow is sticking out due to its warm nature comparing to the blue.
Blending is a technique so any two hues, values and/or intensities can be blended so that they gradate one into another. Think about technique as a skill that makes something happen with materials.
Could you do a tip on painting tree shapes with color variation.
Thanks
Harry
Harry, can you be a bit more specific. Are you asking for shapes of foliage or tree trunks with limbs, twigs, etc? Are there particular tree shapes, such as conifers or oaks or maples or palms, etc? What about seasons of the year? Colors in Spring or Summer or Winter or Fall? What about weather? Or time of day? See where I'm going with this?
Thank you. Extremely helpful.
Where did you get your pallet/stand from?
Stay safe and keep well.xJo
Joanne, it is a Sienna pochade box available from Blick Art Materials. Mine is over ten years old, one of the first Siennas made. They have a couple of sizes to choose from. Here's the link: www.dickblick.com/products/sienna-plein-air-pochade-boxes/?fromSearch=%2Fsearch%2F%3Fq%3Dsienna%2520pochade
You said higher the tinting strength less colour it will take to turn neutral. Is that true? It is a bit confusing. In one video you explained greater the tinting strength more colour it will take to shift the hue.
Tinting strength is the strength of the hue. You proportion all mixtures according to their tinting strength. If I said "more" for shifting the hue, I said it backwards for which I apologize. Please give me the Quick Tip number where I did that so we can make a correction.
Is this done with acrylic paints?
No, this is with oils.
Are you using acrylic or oil .?
Here I'm using oils.
Could you do a quick tip on water reflections.
Thanks

Lol I’m trying to do this with acrylics and it’s driving me crazy, I can’t mix fast enough to blend before it dries😂. Just add 20yrs experience I guess!
Acrylic paintings often keep handing a very fine mist sprayer filled with water and make a habit of keeping the paint misted while working. Check out Roger Bansemer's videos on UA-cam.
