  • This really is one of the biggest tips that has allowed me to repaint and continue working on my paintings without screwing things up (too bad, anyway). I teach a lot of artists, from beginners to professionals, and I have found that this is one of the most common pieces of advice in my critiques. I hope you found it helpful in your paintings!

    I've been painting a long time, but this is the single best tip I've ever heard. Seems like a time-consuming pain in the ass, but the amount of time it can save is just beautiful. Wish I'd heard this years ago, could've saved me so many tears.

    your videos are so fun, and you are so humble. I've learned more from you than any art class I've had. i don't understand why you don't have millions of subscribers!

    08:15 we can use a small square shaped either white paper or transperant plastic to check the mixed colour with that on the canvas (or reference photo or live subject)

    So calibrate first before making fine change. That totally make sense and is one of the best advices. Now I see why you are such a great realism painter!

    Make a color checker. Use a laminated print out of the original photo reference and smudge the mixed color over the section you need to repaint until you have a match

  • @meerabakshi2676
    @meerabakshi2676 2 роки тому +1

    Thanks for the tip. I don't like to have so many shades on the palette and they get dried before I could use them on my painting. You are so very right and now I know why my finished portrait looked chalky (though others may not notice it!!) now I will correct my old works and be careful in new work pieces. Thanks for the tip. You have tremendous experitise bringing life into painting, eyes are so very lively. My 9 year old grand daughter has taken my passion of portrait painting and she does amazing face drawings at her age! She wants to draw eyes everywhere and at any given spare moment and paper pencil around she would be drawing a face! I am amazed at her burning desire to draw faces. She is too young to show your videos but certainly I would introduce at little later so that she does not get overwhelmed. Even right now she is never satisfied with her work and does not want to show me thinking it is not as good as I do, wow...how can I make her understand the I have more than 30-35 years of experience while you don't have any and yet you are drawing so very well! :-D Thanks for your videos.

    Do you do anything to the dry painting to prepare it for overpainting? Such as adding any medium to the surface so the subsequent paint glides easier onto the dry paint?

    4:00
    9:45
    11:11 if come in with idea that you want slight change in color then even if your mix comes I. Too strong you might not care too much because you want change
    But then it can often be too much and totally change all the color relations
    And so eventually need to adjust everything or else it looks off or the rest of painting looks off
    as you cont to keep going
    17:50 same idea for if you wanted to go darker or lighter you could overdo it without mixing what’s the first
    15:44 actually process of remixing previous color literally doesn’t take much time
    So don’t let it feel overwhelming it’s not a big deal
