Your instruction is saturated with beneficial commentary that gives the student the language of artistic expression! - a rare talent found only in the highest level of instructional abilities! To see and hear the language is one thing - to be able to speak fluently is another! :)
My bountiful gratitude for your generosity that brightens so many lives!!!!!
Thanks, Janet. The visual language is like the spoken language. Once we learn how to speak it, we can use it more effectively.
You are a gift! Best description of abstracting an image I've ever heard.
Thanks.
Thank you,I needed this to bring me back. I know what you speak of but it is nice to be reminded even after 40 years of practice which tended to accent the detail rather than the pattern of shapes of light and dark.
George, it might help to remember that building a painting is no different from building a house. You need the framework before you put in the trimming features.
So appreciate these tips and lessons. You know exactly how to explain things and it is so obvious that you know what you are talking about. Thanks for posting your wonderful videos.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
You're so smart, I love your description of abstract painting!
Thank you! Cheers!
You are the best teacher one can ever hope for...look forward to your next tip each time...want to join your next live streaming classes..
Thanks, Alka.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of art with us. You’re a very talented lady and a great teacher. This was another very helpful quick tip.
Thanks.
You are the best ! You are an incredible teacher! Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
You are a gift, Dianne. You really make my day - every day. You are so inspirering. Just love your way of explaining and teaching. I wonder how you approach naive expression. Like colorful houses. Love from little Denmark.
Naïve expression in painting is (quoting from the Art Terms website) "A simplified approach to painting (in which) the artist of naive style lacks formal training..." So for a painting to be "naïve", one would approach it without applying painting principles. In other words, one just paints, more or less, as a child would. That's the best I can come up with. Once we've had training in painting, in my opinion, it's impossible to do naïve expression.
Always so glad when I can sit and enjoy Dianne’s videos - always learn something, and always enjoy learning it ❤️
Thanks for watching.
In the Studio Art Instruction - I feel very fortunate to have come across Dianne & her work & her generous sharing of knowledge & inspirations! :)
You’re fantastic at explaining everything step by step. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It’s always interesting to watch but hard sometimes to put into practice. Thank you.
It becomes easier WITH practice.
Fantastic lesson! When you connect up the quick tip lessons as you do at the end, its amazing how complete it becomes. Thank you for all this great stuff! : )
It's my pleasure. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching, Javanthi. I'm delighted you found this one helpful.
Thank you for an excellent demonstration.

Thank you! Even for a watercolorist, your quick tips are very helpful. Art principles are applicable no matter the medium.
Yes, INDEED!
Thank you Dianne!
My pleasure.
Wonderful demonstration and so helpful
Give it a try! And have fun with it.

I could defiantly watch you for several hours!
😊
Excellent QT - thanks, Dianne!!
Love it when you share from your sketchbook!
😇
Forgot to thank you Dianne ....thank you really appreciate and admire you
Want to be like you
😊
Very helpful -thank you 😊
You’re welcome 😊
I can't wait to take an abstract workshop with you. I need to get in the habit os seeing shapes, textures and light without relation to actual nature. As a botanist I always respond to landscape by seeing the individual plants.
Stay tuned.
Thanks again for your precious instructions. Could you please make a video showing how to make theses brushstrokes.
We have several brushstroke Tips already. Go to ua-cam.com/users/inthestudioartinstruction , click on the little magnifier icon to bring up the search bar. then type "brush strokes", hit your Enter key and all our Quick Tips about brushstrokes will come up.
Thank you.
My pleasure.
Outstanding video - Thumb up to Tim K's comment, he said it all. Thank You
😊
Thank you for such an insightful video. Can you please tell how one can move to abstraction from a real scene and also altering the perspective, such as to make a 2D Flat abstraction of a realistic painting ?
Annu, please see Quick Tips 166 and 240, and watch for number 350 coming up on December 1.
💓
I love the instruction in this one. What I have trouble with often is paint opacity/translucency. What brand of paint are you using? Thank you!
See Quick Tip 115 where I explain the colors and brands. For the most part, depending upon the colors, I trust Gamblin and Rembrandt brands.
3 minutes in....subscribed!
Thanks. I hope you hit the bell, too, so you'll always get an email notification with every new thing we publish on UA-cam.
I think you are the only art teacher on UA-cam, others are mostly artists showing off their skills and this is discouraging for some.
Thank you, Maryam.
Another great video, thank you! Would be ok to request a video about how to paint semi-abstract landscape that has far distance. For example over looking a lake and there are lands with trees in a distance? I am having difficulty to see and capture the different shapes in such a deep distance. Maybe you have a video already about this subject , if yes please let me know. Thank you!
That has to do with working with atmospheric perspective. I'm teaching a online workshop on that very subject on June 26. Go to diannemizeacademy.com/online-workshops/
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction I just saw your respond. I was late, your workshop is full. Would you teach this again in July?
thank you for sharing, but still confused in such example between abstract and impressionist painting.could your clear it up please.
Yes. The original Impressionists were studying light and color. The original Abstractionists were using the visual elements as their subjects without regard to imagery. That's a truncated explanation, but the basic difference.

Do you do underdrawing for oil painting? As I normally paint in watercolour, I like to try in oil and wonder whether graphite pencil or charcoal is better for underdrawing, Thanks!
When working with all painting mediums, it is best to begin with a preliminary drawing For oil painting, graphite pencil is not the best choice because it melts with the paint and can muddy the colors. Some oil painters begin with a charcoal drawing, then use a fixative to prevent the charcoal from muddying the colors. I prefer either setting the preliminary drawing with a water based pen brush or using a brush with a solvent thinned paint. You can watch other Quick Tips, such as 188, and see me do that.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Thanks for your detailed answer, I just watched your Quick Tip 188 again, understood the method of preliminary drawing now. I have to be brave and bold to use brush to make drawing for oil painting.
Very informative. Thank you 💐oil painting?
Yes.
Dianne, you are the most unselfish person I know. Thank you, thank you. Frankly, semi-abstraction is good enough for me. Notwithstanding the workshops, if I want realistic then an excuse for a new Leica. Do you know Frank Dekker?
Brock, it today's western culture, unlike past eras, we have multiple options for the route we take with our painting.
I am not familiar with Frank Dekker. Enlighten me.
Can you please give me a quick tip on placing objects into a painting say from a story book or making up a character and placing it within the painting..
Where is the light source and how-to find etc
Barbara from Perth.
West Australia
Barbara, I will put your Tip request on our filming calendar. Since we film these a couple months in advance, it will be June before it appears. Meanwhile, if you study the works of Norman Rockwell, Harry Anderson and Stanhope Forbes, it will find excellent guides for placing figures for telling a story. As to where the light source is located, you decide that according to the time of day and kind of light you want the characters to live in.
Also, you might find it helpful to tune in to our UA-cam chat on April 24 and 2 p.m. Eastern. The topic will be the Anatomy of Light and Shadow. I will be talking a lot about the light source .
Thank you so much.. that's very helpful.. just wondering if you already have a Quick tip that relates to my question or a demonstration I can purchase🌹
Is there a tip to of recognizing the difference between the value of dark colors and seeing what is in shadow and not in shadow when doing a notan and especially in a diffused light. Not sure if I am explaining what I mean. If I squint I'll see a hue that is a dark value and I'm confused on whether that is considered in shadow if I am seeing it in diffused light or it is just a dark hue. So I think I am asking if a value of a hue is naturally dark is that also called not in shadow??? Sorry for the confusion!!!
You can find all the notan Tips at ua-cam.com/users/IntheStudioArtInstructionsearch?query=notan
And all those on shadows at ua-cam.com/users/IntheStudioArtInstructionsearch?query=shadows
Also, you might find it helpful to watch the replay of our UA-cam chat about shadows at ua-cam.com/video/A94uic8yVSQ/v-deo.html
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Thank you Dianne, watching the chat about Shadows... very helpful!!! THank you again!!!!!!!
Abstraction feels like going on a diet. Leaning towards realism and abstracting from that style is a mind twister. I have tried to take less out each time I paint, but somehow I end up adding more and more information. I’m not saying this is a bad thing to do, just saying I find that the way I communicate takes me in another direction. I do want to learn more about abstraction so will revisit your suggested tips. As you say practice, practice, practice. Thank you again.
Painting is about expressing your individual uniqueness, more than anything else. Some folks express themselves better abstractly, while others do so with more description. We find what feels right for us and then we know that's where we get the most out of our work.

I recommend Cesar Santos. Search for you in the UA-cam search bar.
Looking at some of these old masters, it looks as if they all start out tight and by the end of their life are painting very loose. I always thought that was interesting and was curious if painting loose was like an end-goal of painting.
Not really. Beginners usually start out tight because they've not yet become totally comfortable with their tools. Also, in the early days, the instruction was tight. Once a painter masters the technical and design skills, he/she automatically loosens up because they no longer have to think about what they are doing.

I am not understanding a thing you're saying!
Perhaps watch it again. Or ask me specific questions that I can give you clarity on.
My opinion is that your values are too dark. I prefer to work lighter since the paint dries darker than when wet. My own worst critic.
Could be your monitor.
Thank you Dianne!
My pleasure.
