    The challenge seems to be how to keep the area just above the horizon from turning green (since you are adding yellow to the blue). I still haven't figured that out.

      @bethanydee1920 7 місяців тому +1

      @amrithasoogrim3391 I use a very unobtrusive strip of light lavender more to the reddish side than blue to separate the yellow from the blue. Then just blend them carefully together. The yellow that gets blended into the reddish purple will turn an orangish color but you won't have a green sky. It's a Bob Ross technique that works pretty well. I watched this video thinking he might have a better way. A lot of artists disparage Ross but he didn't have green skys unlike this painting.

    Interesting- I’ve usually heard ultramarine described as a warm blue and pthalo green-shade as a cool.

    • @cameronsharpe6647
      @cameronsharpe6647 2 роки тому +2

      Yeah ultramarine blue has more of a red hue to it which makes it deeper and cooler. Same thing happens to alizarin crimson which is a red that has more of a blue hue to it doing the same thing(the opposite being cadmiums and scarlets which have more yellow). Pthalo or winsor or intense(all same thing) blues have higher amounts of yellow hue as opposed to red which make them lighter and warmer. a good way tho think about it is anything that moves towards yellow is getting warmer and anything that moves towards blue is geeting cooler

    Hi Chris. Thank you for another very informative tutorial. Am I right in thinking that you consider ultramarine blue to be a cool blue and phthalo a slightly warmer blue? It seems that some artists see it as a warm blue and phthalo as a cooler blue. Does the difference in opinion really matter much?

    Very good and informative teaching video. But I'm slightly confused about some terminology here. I think I learned that ultramarine blue is warmer blue since it's going towards red as opposed to phalo blue which is cooler since it's going towards green. Or am a wrong? Please unconfused me.

    • @chriswhitehouse8982

    Thanks for all the tips and help, but this video has me confused: in your other videos, you talk so much about NOT blending in oils (especially not overblending transitions), but in this sky you seem to be doing just that.

  • @davidcudlip6587

    Is there a reason you painted the mountains first? Seems like it would be easier to paint in the mountains after the sky was first painted in. New to oil painting but did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last month.

  • @honeygirlsapiary

    I’ve been wondering if painting only in black and white will help me better understand how things go from lighter to darker tones and back n forth. I am still brand new as in having that weird creamy stuff on a newborn kinda new to all this. I am not getting the darker colors in shadows and stuff.

    • @paintcoach
      @paintcoach  4 роки тому +5

      gary akin that is probably a good idea. When in first started I did a lot of monochromatic work. Keeping things simple when starting out always help. The key is to take it one step at a time and gain momentum. No matter how the painting turns out you have to honor the effort. I have gone out many time to paint landscapes and I drive 45 min out to the middle of nowhere, fight the heat, set up to paint, fight the bugs and sunburn only to make a bad little painting that no one will see. But I know I had to make that bad little painting to get to the good ones ahead

But I believe in the methods you use, as I have also been painting your way a lot (Carlson, Payne etc) ...I was mentored by much older painters (one even claimed he was taught by Lauren Harris of the Group of Seven), the other was taught at University by HG Glyde using tried and true methods, not some cockamania homemade method. So keep up the great work!

      You limit yourself. Beethoven wrote symphonies when he was deaf because he understood music. It doesn't take color recognition to recognize values. If you understood which colors he was mixing and why, with practice, you will achieve the right balance of warmth and coolness for a realistic looking sky.
      The demonstration was pretty simple and strait-forward to me: keep the colors darker and cooler on top, lighter and warmer toward the horizon. Why can't you do that?

      @@KathrineJKozachok because warm and cool are color language that I don't get. "Colorblindness" isn't always a physical disability that can be overcome via alternative methods; many of us have an issue understanding color as a mental disability in addition to our lack of rods/cones because we didn't have to ability to develop the understand naturally to begin with. I am 34 and still frustrated when I am constantly corrected on what color something actually is. It's a real struggle for certain things.

    You’re colour blind mate . Ultramarine is cool ? A blue with red in ? Phthalo blue is warm ? Leaning towards greens? Exactly the opposite. Go and see an eye doctor.

    • @ARTPAINTING101
      @ARTPAINTING101 2 роки тому +1

      Adding titanium white to ultramarine can bring it to a cool(er) tone, which is true with a lot of colors. The spectrum of Phthalo pigments ranges from deep, warm blues to cool spring greens. There are red and green shades of Phthalo Blue available in many artist paint ranges, so perhaps his has a red bias hence feeling it is warmer, since ultramarine moves more towards violet which he is seeing as cooler than the pthalo he is using. Of course cool and warm are very subjective and depend a great deal on the color harmony in which they reside.
