Limited palette, one colour dominating in the mixture to prevent mud. Thank you.

[@philstarke.artist]

You're welcome!

[@alexlynn7219]

Phil, I really love your videos. Especially how much focus and effort you put into explaining your logic and decision-making. Much appreciated. I'll definitely try out this 3 colour constant-use approach.

Thanks Alex

I never knew what my black paint was for. Who knew that you could use black so wonderfully? Thank you.

[@philstarke.artist]

You're welcome!

I had to rewind and watch the blue sky. That was fascinating

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks

[@elizabethhunt5536]

Absolutely fantastic demo! Who'd have thought you could paint a blue sky using black??
Suppose this is the famed Zorn palette of Andreas Zorn. Thanks Phil

[@philstarke.artist]

Yes, Zorn used a similar palette

Hi Phil. I enjoy painting red rock scenes and I'd like to find a good way to make shadows that come over the rocks as the sun moves across the horizon. I was wondering if there was a good way to do that -- where you could still see the colors of the red-gold-bronze rocks beneath the shadow of the sun? Maybe use a transparent blue-lavender color?

[@philstarke.artist]

Hi Renee, you can paint the shadows a bluish violet, then while its still wet scrub in.a little burnt sienna and orange, but not too much. blending the colors on the canvas instead of the palette will keep the color cleaner.

[@morsar2009]

Pls add turkish subtitles

[@reneekroyer5104]

I'm confused . . . is your `black' in this video really a dark blue? Or, is it a true black?

[@philstarke.artist]

It is ivory black, a true black. In context with everything in the landscape it appears blusish.
