Do this to make Your Paintings More Painterly: 4. Break the Rules. Loosen up with the 'Wrong' Colors

- Do you want to make your paintings more painterly? : Then break the rules with 'Wrong' Colors and learn to paint loosely. Learn a new painting technique.
Getting hung up on recreating a photo reference EXACTLY will hold you back. Instead, use the photo just as material. Try your level best to uncouple yourself from it and impose your story upon your painting. Paint loosely. Ask yourself what your trying to convey here. Is it a story about glorious Mediterranean heat and clear skies? Or a rain-swept Irish glen...or a showy bouquet of flowers...? Loosen up; tell a story and use your colour palette like descriptive words.
If it were a poem, what would you write? So instead of: "I walked about a bit on my own", it would become, "I wandered lonely as a cloud", as the Heineken beer ad used to have it!

I'm an artist living in Dublin, Ireland. My work is often figurative, definitely narrative and can sometimes tend towards the absurd. I teach oil painting in the alla prima wet into wet style in my Dublin art classes.
I post oil painting speedpainting videos, painting lessons and tutorials, drawings, oil painting tutorials and tips, art tips, and where I share bits of my life as an artist. Creating art is my greatest life and I'm thankful for the chance to share it with you. Nothing gives me greater pleasure or more pride than to see one of my students creating wonderful works of art in their own hand.

I'm becoming quite addicted to watching your videos. I love the way the paintings develop so fast.
That's very kind of you to say so Miles.
This picture looks like the Freestate Province in South Africa, love your style & technique, thanks!!!
Great to have you as a viewer!
I am enjoying your videos! Your voice is relaxing to listen to and your painting exercises are very inspiring. I am excited to paint again. Watching from Oregon, USA. Thank you.
Wonderful! Thank you for taking the time to write Lindsay.
Thanks, Kevin. I really loved your work in this lesson. Its got me thinking about using this approach to go over older paintings I have on hand and try to give them a new life. Perhaps you could do something along these lines. Regards, Peter
Wonderful! Greeetings from Finland
Hello Finland!
🇫🇮
Hello sir, I can't believe that this video only has 5 likes. You seem like a great teacher and I really appreciate that you share your knowledge and it seems to me that without knowing you, you are a good person, I would like a video where you explain or talk about your color palette , I find it very natural and beautiful colors, greetings from a Mexican who lives in Oklahoma
Good to meet you Oscar - thank you for your kind comments. I just completed a wall mural in Dublin in collaboration with Kathrina Rupit from Mexico ( she calls herself Kinmx). It was such fun and she's a brilliant painter.
I will indeed be adding a video about my palette, the colors I use and why, very soon. Thanks for the suggestion. Kevin
Oh this is amazing. I guess it goes back to the idea that as long as you have the values right the color doesn’t matter. I look forward to your color wheel video. All your videos have been very helpful. I am in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania USA.
You got it Vivian. I should've put that point out in the video - but i never use a script, so I'm apt to miss points sometimes. I can't bear reading from a script, it never sounds natural! I hope the weather's good in Pittsburgh... Kevin
Love your channel, I am living in Ogunquit Maine. We are on the coast and at the turn of the last century it was an artist colony. Thank you !😊
Wow -I just looked Ogunquit up. It looks amazing. No wonder there was an artist colony. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Learning so much from you. I feel free to make things wonderful colors that I would not have used before. Looking forward to studying a color wheel. Watching you from Wellington, Florida USA 😊✌🏼Thank you
I'm glad to hear it Diane. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. Isn't it wonderful that I could be sitting here in a damp Dublin and be communicating with someone in sunny Florida? Meanwhile, any sharing of my videos you do would be very welcome. Kevin
Hi Kevin, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Watching from 'up the road' in Belfast.
Thank you Harry - glad to have you along!
Kevin I love this video very much I've been looking for an approach to loosen up my style to loosen up my thoughts and this video nails for me thank you very much for that it's a good lesson in painting as opposed to reproducing an image love it thank you
Glad it was helpful!
That looks amazing! ❤
Thank you Marianna!
