There is a simple way to make color vibrant even on dark colors , the trick is to put white paint on the places where you want your colors to be bright and when the white is dry you simply put the desired color on the top of it.
Thanx
That's literally what he is doing right now...
Thank you, I just started a painting and was getting frustrated that I couldn't get the vibrancy I wanted for this golden hour piece. Your a life saver man!
Those birds turned out gorgeous!
Thank you so much for this advice. I have been making the mistake of mixing in white and getting frustrated with the lacklustre results in so many paintings. Your channel has really helped improve my work
So realistic, so beautiful.

Wow! This piece is absolutely magical. Thanks for sharing your hard-earned tips :)
I was just struggling last night to make yellow spashes on blue irises pop. I tried underpainting with orange and that helped but I will do it again with your technique. Thank you!

Unbelievably beautiful, that edge with the blurred background makes it so lifelike...it's so 3d......i used your blurred background for my kingfisher painting but didn't know about this video till i finished.

Really glad you’ve found it helpful!
Thank you that helped🌻
You're really good!
Great video 👌
beautiful
Hey Daniel! loved this video! The format was nice, and the video was short and to the point. I typically do my wildlife pieces in colored pencil and I've been thinking of going back to acrylics. Definitely going to try this tip out and see how it goes!
P.S Just came back to your channel after a few months and I love the new camera work. You've stepped it up quite a bit. Keep going!
Thanks for the great comment! glad you’ve noticed a difference, it takes a bit longer to film and edit this way but I’m glad you think it’s improving the quality! you definitely need to try it out and let me know how it goes!
Thank you great help!
Very very nice ❤❤
Great video thankuou.
WOW!!!!!!!!
Thank you sooo very much ❤❤❤
Thank you
Geee man , you are good.
Thanks ❤
Nice👌🏻
What type of brush are you using for those great lines and details.
thank u
Could one use gesso also? Excellent video you are a fine artist mate.
I too use this trick
Would it make a significant difference if you used white gesso vs. white paint?
I can't recall specifically what the issue was but I recall white acrylic paint causing issues (difficult to work with), but its possible I wasn't letting it dry completely. I heard him emphasize the drying in this vid, so maybe ill try again and make sure its dried this time.
Thanks for making these videos. They're informative, easy on the ears (!😉) and a good length (not to cursory, not dragged out). Well done!
STUNNING BEAUTIFUL THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME
Hermoso trabajo ,me gustaría 🎉ver como pinto el fondo tambien
The bird is very realistic feathers and all
Watching you Painting is The Most Joyful thing to do for Me! Thanks Handsome! May Allah Bless You!
What blues are you using for the blue feathers please?
Can you mention what iridescent paints you're using, and how you mixed them (ratios)?
Hi Daniel ! Greetings from Costa Rica! Can you share with us what is the first cooor you use as based ? Isn’t just pure black 🥴
I m going to paint a bird that comes to my trees all the time her name is Toh or momoto ceja turquesa (Eumomota superciliosa) ! I thought to paint the based white and from there, add the turquoise and other colors, but watching this video makes more sense dark based? 😢 help please 🙏🏼
I didn’t realize the white at first… I thought it was bc of the contrasting colors beside each other. But your technique makes sense. So are you saying not to do an underpainting? And if you do what color would you use, a bluish or a contrasting?
What acrylics for realism do you recommend
Have you ever used gesso instead of your white paint? I’ve glazed over dried white and got an effect for fur for my animals..
Hola. Le cuento que me encanta como pinta .lo único es q no le entiendo y me gustaría saber que dise ..soy de Misiones . Argentina .desde ya gracias por enseñar
Do you have to dry after every application of white before using red again
❤❤❤❤
So if I want all my painting to be vibrant can I do a white coat first on the whole canvas?
Yes, great tip. Did I see that you did 2-3 rounds of white and red? Is that necessary rather than just painting red over white once?
It’s not necessary but I do it to build up a little bit more variation in the colours
What are the names of the paints that you used?
Loved it 😊 please mention patreon link in the about section 👍
It’s in the description already but here it is just in case 😁 www.patreon.com/StudioWildlife
@@StudioWildlife thank you, yes i checked your patreon it says 1/3 of kingfisher. Will it be on patreon on three parts ?
Loved it 😊 keep it up 😊
What color you use? please tell me the brand name of this color
Hi thanks for the tips. I paint a lot of football paintings and would love to see how you would go about painting a deep/shiny Cardinal color of a USC Trojan football helmet when the night lights bounce off of it.... (p.s. I have a custom painting Ruth Mayer did of me playing football... she's sooo talented...if u don't know her, please Google her paintings... someone was moving the large painting awhile back and she dropped it and the center of the canvas ripped right through... do you have any tips to repair it?? Or am i going to have to break it up into smaller paintings?? It's a collage of different scenes similar to her famous Rose Bowl painting. Please 🙏 let me know your thoughts..tyvvm)
killer
I don't see the link for the background video.

can you do a video about painting white birds ? lol
Not really, you need to study pigments more. Why it becomes pink, is because you use a titanium white wich changes the hue. You need to use zink white.
I wish there was caption to what he was trying to impart. I had a hard time understanding and only got half of what was said.
"When you add white to a colour, you aren't making it brighter." That's false - you ARE making it brighter, but also desaturating it.
There are several ways to make colours really pop. One is to just use a more saturated pigment. The red that you use in the video is not the most saturated to begin with. Something like a light cadmium red is much more intense and vibrant, and would produce the saturated look even without underpainting.
Many pigments, particularly organic (as in organic chemistry, not organic food) pigments, are partly or wholly transparent. These are particularly well-suited for applying over a white underpainting. Phthalo blue or green, Quinacridone reds and magentas, Dioxazine violet. Alizarin red is a particularly great one but only exists as oil paint (and imitations in acrylic, since the acrylic medium destroys the alizarin pigment). Prussian blue is the same; only available as an oil or watercolour paint. What these all have in common is a very strong staining power and a low opacity.
If your starting point is already highly saturated, like phthalo blue or cadmium red, then you can better afford to mix white into them. The loss in saturation is made up for by gain in brightness. But for less saturated pigments, like dioxazine violet, chromium oxide green, cobalt colours, and many others too, mixing white into them will kill the saturation. Cobalt colours and dioxazine violet are good for underpainting techniques, but something like chromium oxide green will never ever be bright, no matter what you do to it.
Having muddy results for too long. Wasting my time. You just saved me!

Big big like my friend... Great job
Your video really-really magnificent 👍😍👍 love it❤
Maybe I'm mistaken, but it lools like you are using lower-quality (student-quality) paints. High quality / more expensive paints have both higher pigment loads and higher-quality pigment choices.

Thanks Daniel loved the dialogue but to be honest (and I don't want to sound like a troll because I'm not one) but your bouncing around and jiggling your shoulders nearly drove me insane.. any chance you could just relax and stand still, I really love your art... and would like to re-subscribe...uurrgghh BTW i would love to try your technique as I photographed a superb kingfisher in my back yard recently, those turquoise colours were magnificent cheers from Oz and apologies for the comment
Haha I’m working on the camera angles in my newer videos 😂 I do tend to bounce around a lot when I’m painting 😂 just having so much fun!
Its just me Daniel I do love your videos, I have fibromyalgia and little things irritate the heck out of me...and tonight it was you so sorry for the negative comments, I'm a 'tell it how it is' type person cant keep my mouth shut :) keep those demos coming they are so informative cheers from Western Australia@@StudioWildlife
I found over 50 years ago, using an airbrush as a glazing tool...you are stacking colour dots on top and not mixing or smearing the paint...works really well with watercolor. At an art show in Sydney back in the early 80's I sold several paintings of local wildlife...one artist asked me what was my "Trick"(?) ... I told him about learning to use it in the 1960's in college... he told me I cheated??? So using a straw hand brush is cheating since i didn't use an $80 "flogging brush" doing fake wood grain??? Just a thought...
can you recommend one please
@@viviennek3204 I have about 12-24 different ones... my tool of choice is the Sparmax SP-35, as it handles acrylics and prices are one of the least expensive. Also I have 3 Paasche Millenniums in all three sizes...parts are cheap, they are produced in the USA... I have two German brands, but the prices are dear. The iwata is a Japanese brand that is a license copy of an Olympus which I often used in the 60-70's...they advertise how great they are...way over priced... The German EFBE dates back to a family made, like the Olympus line, hand made quality started in the 1930's... I have 3 EFBE. Finally I have two Paasche AB Turbo's, Pat in 1903 and last made a few years ago... they are for inks only (watercolor will work)...They and the EFBE will paint hair lines! Since I serviced that equipment since I moved to Australia for EVERY importer here... I quickly learned never trust the store...they usually have NO IDEA what is what... LOL.
Just keep in mind how easy it is in your part of the world to get parts (#1) and second how much value the brush adds to the type of work you do. I've done color wedding photo retouching and catalog work in the 60's up to the early 80's... made a great living... also in te late 60's and all through the late 70's custom painted murals, tons of Bikes and Vans... I was originally a Bump and Paint guy...an rode "Triumphs" most of my life... I know that's a lot to take in .... but the two I told you Paasche and Sparmax fill the parts and price bills and I use them almost daily on my art boards...and I'm almost 75...

The blue bird isn't bright at all, I thought you gonna show us how to make it bright. Red isn't a problem there are lot of bright reds sold but how do you make the blue bright?
You all need to remember what acrylics is: plastic. It's plastics. It will never have the jewel-like quality of oils, but you can mimic oils only by using the mediums available to increase open time and gloss. Water alone helps to deaden the surface and does so without properly binding the pigment to the surface. This guy should study Christophe Drochon
🤔☝️oh just bring in the big guns youtube suggested videos.make me feel worse why don't ya!😤& No.I'm not painting yet.& can ya not suggest oil paint videos.theyre lovely.I'm just not into oil painting.oil pastels!in the other hand😉suggest those.thanks!-me🤷♀️👍😎💖
I’ve never tried oil pastels, but there’s plenty of other pastel videos on my channel. I should invest in some oil pastels and give them a try!
Thank you
