I loved this. I learn more than you actually teach at the moment by listening and watching. Always so cool. Thank you. You truly are a master and I appreciate you. I love learning.
This was a true Master Class! Thank you so much Dianne for your wonderful lessons. All the prep work that goes into giving these wonderful quick tips is just amazing and much appreciated 😘
I absolutely love the open color wheel and the punched-out black gray, and white strip. I would buy those if you sell them. They are excellent tools for getting the right undertones with the right intensity.
We've never had these tools manufactured, but both are available free as PDF downloads on diannemize.com/product-category/video-supplements/ You can print the PDFs on heavy photo print paper and cut out the inside portion with an xacto knife.
That negative shape painting has been a game-changer since you shared that. Feel like I also have more permission to blend my brushstrokes now when painting realistically. Thanks for such a detailed quick tip.❤
I've learned so much about colour matching and mixing in this video. My main take-away is to avoid mixing in white but use pure colours whenever possible. Thanks for this Quick Tip and the many others from which I've learned so much.
May I clarify just a bit about using white. Use it wisely, but it is not necessary to try to avoid it. All we need to be aware of is if mixing white into a color cools it. That's when we need to also add a bit of yellow or yellow orange.
You are a brilliant instructor. I have been picking colors on the fly and never stopped to analyze the correct color/intensity/value. If my selection (H/V/I) is not right, I just keep trying. Stepping back and first analyzing is so so important. My palette ends up a disaster along with the fugal attempt at a decent painting. The light bulb is not as dim as it was. I benefit a little more each time I watch one of your many quick tips. Thank you.
I sometimes do this style of painting and find that I have to get the paint to the exact consistency necessary for proper flow and blending-not too thin and not too thick. Thanks Dianne for this video.
So fascinating to watch you paint and be able to talk and explain everything you do. Thank you! I tried and realized I am not a big fan of super-realistic drawings - they take so much time and patience, leaving no room for imagination. I really like the new, what they call " a contemporary impressionistic" style of painting - with chunky brush strokes, not blended at all. It looks like a mess if you look close up, but from a distance the painting comes to life!
Iryna, my intention is to show possibilities while answer viewers' questions. I do want to point out that imagination in painting can happen at all or any stage of the painting's progression. Someone, like Dali for example, would use the imagination within the images themselves, rather than through the technique used to interpret the images, such as the Impressionists did and still do. There are multiple ways to include imagination in painting.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Yes, of course! I just feel, at this point of my life, drown to chunky unblended brush strokes that simplify the shapes. ))) And thank you for all you lessons and tips, they are invaluable! Because no matter what style we choose - composition, color theory, temperature, etc... we need to know.
Just a practical, maybe stupid question and something, but what always puzzles me when I'm looking at painting of old masters, especially the very refined trompe-l'œil paintings: how did they see all these details when they are painting from a distance? Did they study it up close? (Because nowadays we have photographs to help us but in those days?) Also: with fruits and other perishable objects, how they had the time to do all this? I can understand that they made sketches with pencil and the like, but did they made also color studies and such?
@christophedevos3760 , the old masters were trained to see and to mix colors according to the colors they are seeing. They were also trained to draw what they were seeing. Today, not many teachers are teaching painting students how to see. When you know how to see - what to look for - and when you know what color does to color when you mix color, then it doesn't take that much time to study any subject and discover both its visual characteristics and the colors that make it appear the way they do.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction That's a fact. Much has been lost, not only knowledge of painting but also their observational skills through patience and concentration I think.
On the old painting there's a music sheet, how do you paint it? Is it just with a very small brush and patience, I guess lots of oil added to black paint to make it runny?
Would you mind putting all of your videos on color in in place. In a playlist. I'd like to know where to start with learning color theory. Thank you. ❤
Angela, painting from imagination also requires images unless what's being imagined it totally abstracted. Also, there are unlimited ways in which painting from imagination can be done. I will give some thought as to how a useful Quick Tip might explore that. Meanwhile, historically, artists who have painted from imagination have studied extensively the characteristics and colors of the images that interest them so that they can use that information to express what they imagine.

Thank you so much, Eve. I hope you'll give this one a try.
You are so kind to be sharing this with us. Thank you thank you thank you ❤

Happy new year! It's a pleasure sharing these.
Good tip. Many thanks.
My pleasure.
You are so good at explaining!!! You help me conceptualize and help to concrete it in my old brain. Thank you. ❤
You are so welcome!

Absolutely!!
Love this❣️ looking forward to your continuation of this painting.
Thanks for watching, Wendy.
You’re amazing. Thank you for explaining things so clearly❤
My pleasure. Have fun with it.

very good blending, you captured the roundness and atmosphere of the painting.
It's just technique, Oscar. Give it a try and have fun with it.
👍 great lesson, learnt more in this half hour lesson than my book on the subject 👍
Glad you enjoyed it.

Rob, technique is a big part of it, but close observation of value relationships a color variations is the real key.
Would you mind putting all of your videos on color in in place. In a playlist. I'd like to know where to start with learning color theory. Thank you. ❤
Also, you can search for color on the videos' page.
A masterful lesson...Thank you so much. What do you rinse/clean your brush with while you are painting ?
I want to know too..my brushes I don't know how to clean, tried everything.
I use refined mineral spirits to keep my brush rinsed, usually Turpenoid or Gamsol.
I tried. Maybe I use too much paint on my brush. I see how little you take.
Thanks for share🙏🙏🙏
My pleasure.
Gracias
My pleasure.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Hmmm, using a long stick as a balance. I'll keep that in mind.
Are you referring to the mahl stick? Painters have been using them for centuries.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction I use a chair for now.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks!
Can u do a video of painting with imagination? Your vids always has picture reference ive noticed

@@IntheStudioArtInstruction ok ty ..i look forward to a vid on it!
