At last, another intelligent, humble and wise Painter. The greatest paintings in history are all founded on the Earths. Nowadays the young painter confuses hue with pigment. Pigment properties, of which the great painters in our history, mastered. Earth hues from contemporary vivid colour wheel mixing are mere pinks by comparison, especially in undertone. Wonderful video and channel. Best wishes to you, Hugh. 😊👋👍☕️☕️🎨
I've started art school in the beginning of last year, and you're still the best teacher I have. Thank you so much for your videos and for being that good. You're a real gift for another artists.
You make the exploring of color so interesting and I really like the systematic approach! I am learning so much from you. So grateful and every week it is such a pleasure to discover a new quick tip!
Thanks Ma'am 🙏. Cameraman's focus on the canvas really helped to understand. Please instruct your cameraman to focus on the canvas more. It augments your narration and makes it more effective
I wanted to let you know that I bought your book, “Finding Freedom to Create: A Painter’s Roadmap” and find it thoroughly engrossing and inspiring. I love how you take care to choose just the right word to convey your meaning most clearly. It’s very encouraging to feel I’m truly understanding and absorbing the concepts and so will retain them long term. Thank you, Dianne Mize 😊 P.S. I’ll also get “The Painter’s Handbook” since you recommend it- I’m hoping it’s available as an eBook.
I recently came across your tutorials and although I have been learning oil painting for quite a few years I have learned much more by just watching a few videos. Thank you so much
Thanks so much for the detailed information about earth colors. It has been an aye opening to know exactly why their names and how each has been modified. Excellent video.
I have considered the earth colors very dificult to identify in the color weel .Perhaps this was one of the causes I was looking at them as minor colors, as more or less necessary neutrals for backgrounds and landscapes.This video changed my mind, they are really interesting, specially after knowing their relationship to the other colors.Thank you!
Thank you. I really value your free UA-cam videos. I’ve learned so much from you. I’m a disabled mum of an autistic son, and I had to be retired at 28 from a career as a biomedical scientist. I found art as a way to find peace and a degree of ‘job satisfaction’ again, along with my sanity after the life I had worked so hard for and loved, falling apart. There is no way I can afford art lessons and I am too disabled to attend classes. I have learned everything I know about creating art from videos on UA-cam. This is even more surprising considering that the art teachers at school refused to let me do what the others did in class because they felt I lacked any form or artistic talent, despite me being the only one in the class that had a love for viewing art and knowing an awful lot about art history. So again, I say thank you.
Earth tones...who would've thunk their pigment is actually from the earth!?! I looked up the derivations of all three words and was most impressed that sienna is a region in Italy where artists, during the Renaissance, would get the clay for making their raw sienna paint. You are a national treasure for sure. I'll have to get over to your website and see what you may have that I cannot live without.
Thanks, Linda. During the summer of 1973, in Georgia's Governor's Honors Program, my staff and I took 15 selected art students through six weeks of harvesting pigments from a kaolin pit in Macon, Georgia, processing them into paint and then creating paintings. It was an eye opener for the students and one of the most delightful teaching experiences of my life.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Now, that story is absolutely fascinating in two ways. First is the hands-on aspect of actually harvesting the pigments from the pit. If that doesn't broaden one's understanding of that which they are working with to create a painting, I don't know what would. I recall as a small child (70 years ago) my mother rendering yellow pigment from yellow onion skins --she was a portrait artist. Now, I wish I would have been curious enough to tag along for the entire process. But the other thing, regarding the kaolin pit is that I assumed kaolin was only found in China --used for making porcelain china. Okay, now I'm ready to read the Dianne Mize memoirs!
Thank you for this video. There’s always been a problem with identifying the last four ‘browns’. I was going to give up on raw umber but after your explanation of the color it will now be used again.
Wonderful quick tip! 🙏🏻Thanks so much 🌷 Since this was kinda scientific study wouldn't it be better to thin them rather than adding white to avoid hue shifts? Oh no, I take it back 😁 because we add white most of the time in painting applications 😁 👍🏻
Useful tip ! (as always :) ) Thank you so much. I discovered a strange color wheel that contains a number of earth tones. It is the Rudolph Schaeffer wheel. Could you tell me how this wheel was built ?
If you have wooden stairs with light falling on it could we use a mix of these colors or use one of these to darken or lighten them. .mixing too much white made them look chalky. In the lighr areas Please advice.
Dear Mam As I asked u earlier also that since I am making a scenery, also with bicycle and sky from dark to light with standstill river, which didn't turn out well remaining bicycle. Is it possible for u that if I send a picture of canvas which I have painted, Along with attatchment with original picture is it possible for u to guide and correct and find faults. Thanks Rims1
You can see the skill of gradating illustrated in Quick Tip 175. In Quick Tip 165 I show the skill of gradating different values of blues, although as it applies to the ocean. The very first Quick Tip we did shows the skill of gradation. It, too, might be helpful. That's Quick Tip 1 - Gradation. Still water will be reflecting whatever surrounds it. Use your observation and ask yourself what your eyes are seeing in terms of shape, value, hue and intensity.
Colors at their purest hue are fully saturated. For example, on a traditional color when, colors will be shown at full saturation (we also call that highest intensity or highest chroma). A color that is less saturated will have in it its complement. Adding any degree of complement neutralizes the color to one degree or another. A full neutral is gray with no hue detected. Example: Cadmium Yellow is fully saturated with yellow hue. Naples yellow and yellow ochre are neutralized versions of the yellow hue. All hues in the spectrum can be neutralized to one degree or another. The hues in all earth tones are neutralized.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question..that had me puzzeled for a while , u explained it well..it was very helpful.. .yr a ♦️. All the way from ireland..
You’re so helpful. I don’t know if you realize the good you do. Not all of us can afford this kind of instruction.
Thanks, Rachel. I enjoy doing these.

Very helpful and valuable lesson. I could not get such a comprehensive knowledge about earth colors elsewhere. Thank you so much dear teacher.
Thanks, Reza. As always, it's a pleasure to help.

Great. Play with them for a while and I think you will find they have an inherent power.
Wow, who knew!? Thanks Dianne!
Just another little nugget 😎.

Useful tip ! (as always :) ) Thank you so much.
I discovered a strange color wheel that contains a number of earth tones. It is the Rudolph Schaeffer wheel. Could you tell me how this wheel was built ?
The wheel I use here is one I built with a computer program called Artrage. I imagine most wheels these days are built on a computer.
Fantastic! Thank you! Dianne. They are confusing colours!
You get clarity once you get the hang of identifying their hue.
If you have wooden stairs with light falling on it could we use a mix of these colors or use one of these to darken or lighten them. .mixing too much white made them look chalky. In the lighr areas Please advice.
Give it a try. Most likely it will work.
👍👍👌💕😎
Dear Mam
As I asked u earlier also that since I am making a scenery, also with bicycle and sky from dark to light with standstill river, which didn't turn out well remaining bicycle.
Is it possible for u that if I send a picture of canvas which I have painted,
Along with attatchment with original picture is it possible for u to guide and correct and find faults.
Thanks
Rims1
Rims1, please go to this link to see how to do that: diannemize.com/product/painting-critique/
Dear Mam
Do u have video to show how to paint sky with blue from dark to medium to light. With standstill water not flowing.
Thanks Rims1

Hello dianne, what does it mean for a colour to be neutral? Can all colours be neutral
Colors at their purest hue are fully saturated. For example, on a traditional color when, colors will be shown at full saturation (we also call that highest intensity or highest chroma). A color that is less saturated will have in it its complement. Adding any degree of complement neutralizes the color to one degree or another. A full neutral is gray with no hue detected.

Dear Mam
I have burnt umber but I dont have raw umber can suggest how to make raw umber if I dont have or is finished
Thanks

Try gradually adding a dark purple into yellow ochre or any yellow until it becomes almost neutral, but still has a very slight yellowish hue.
