Another great tip, Dianne. And thank you for the August voucher code. For new viewers stay right to the end to be rewarded with the sweetest smile ever 😊
The subtly of the contrast is the key and is taking practice to control. Sargent also used different hues of subtle contrasts to reflect light and complexity. Would be interesting to play with the value contrasts in the reflected light in the fabric. You somehow manage to give enough of a pearl to stimulate interest and suggestion about how to apply to a painting.
I really appreciate the time and effort you put in your videos. It really gives me a very different perspective to look at art of painting. I have just started learning about painting as I discovered very late that this is what I really enjoy doing. I am trying to paint a horse running with all its might leaving behind a dust filled background. I am struggling to paint the dark dust sorrounding back legs of the horse. Can u please do a tutorial on paintig dust?
Hello Ms. Mize, Thank you again for a great video. I was wondering what your thoughts are on painting on a black canvas? I've been painting figurines for a long time and have always used black primer, only recently did I realize that not many canvas painters paint that way (that I've seen, anyway). Any thoughts on the subject would be very much appreciated.
As far as I know, painting on a black canvas with oils invites trouble because oils tend to become more transparent in time causing the painting to darken over time. It is not a process I would recommend.
Great explanation of blending techniques. Can this be used for flowers as well? And on another note, How would you do folds when using abstraction painting alla prima? Now that I see your demo on fabric I am understanding Sargent on a deeper level. He used vary large brushes so do you think when it came to blending he used smaller ones?
Yes, Candace, the technique can be used for flowers. Folds are in essence a sequence of gradations and contrasts--gradations where the fold is curving away from us, and contrast where a new fold begins. We would us that same technique when painting abstractly alla prima. The technique itself involves the skill of blending and softening edges--blending where the fold turns away from us, and edge softening where the new fold is catching the most light. Sargent was a master of both these skills. He could do them with any size of brush, so most likely he used the size of brush that worked best with the size of blend and softening.
That might make a good one. Mainly what you do is paint the scene you see out the window, then switch your attention to the window pane and paint the reflections you see.
Another tip well taught, thank you. I have noticed the high quality of the prints you use for your demonstrations. What printer do you use? Or what characteristics do you want in a printer so that the colours are as true as they can be when printing colour wheels and prints for composing paintings? Thanks so much.
Deb, I use the Epson ET 2750 printer. Accuracy for printing color is the main characteristic I look for in a printer, but you also need the right paper and setting. I use Office Depot presentation paper, and the highest quality setting. In the past, I have used the Canon upper end Pixma printers, but the last one I had didn't cut the mustard, so I switched to Epson.

It's the same principle as painting fog, just different colors. See Quick Tip 133

Please do a tutorial on how to paint a window view ....like the view should be blurry type and some ..like how to paint the glass

No, I'm using oils with this one. It can be done with acrylics, too.
