I've visited your website a few times now - in particular, the gallery . Your brushwork is a gentle whisper but the paintings themselves are a theatrical event. "Making Haste" is a good example of the level of combined abstraction AND realism that I would one day like to achieve within my own work. Emphasis on the words MY OWN WORK - had to make that clear. But you know what I mean, there's just certain traits in an artist one can only admire and strive towards. Heck, I wouldn't be where I am today without that.
Thank you Dianne, your quick tips are always helpful and challenging, I've changed my way of using oils as I paint and feel I'm achieving better landscapes as a result. Enjoy your lessons very much. Many thanks.
Been a subscriber since 2019 and never looked back, your tips/tutorials are amazing not because they're "shortcuts" but because you actually explain the fundamental reasoning behind them. Just a quick question, when a different colored light hits a local color, what happens to the local color of that object? Does the light "hug and blend" With the local color? As in grabbing the color of the light + Local color? Or does the local color shift towards the light's color depending on the saturation/strength of the local color?
Thanks, Leinard. What happens is that the color of the light visually blends with the local color. You can demonstrate this by shining a flashlight through a colored transparency onto a lemon and watch how the color of the light rays blend with the local color of the lemon.
Oh my goodness, this is an issue that I’m slowly understanding, in the past with searching for answers with learning to sketch and painting with pastels, is the term called foreshortening? Is it basically following your values while painting or sketching the subject? This is new to me as my brain is learning colors with painting different things. Oh GOSH, Thank you for that fantastic demonstration!
foreshortening is when drawing or painting an arm of a character being drawn reaching out towards the view point will appear to be bigger. as in the hand might even become bigger than the persons head if the person is close enough and reaching out towards you enough. this could even be to the point that the open hand of the person would cover the entirety of the persons shoulder and elbows and wrist and arms meaning to paint or draw it correctly you simply have to draw an open palm of the hand covering half of the persons face and shoulder. also when it comes to a close tree, the leafs on the front of the tree closest to the viewer can appear several times larger than the leafs at the back of the tree. foreshortening also describe the direction or angle the object is viewed, such as a leaf seen from the side can appear completely flat and not look a normal flat leaf viewed from the top. the perspective of a thing can stretch it and bend it to the point it seem unfamiliar while it in reality it still being the thing. you probably have seen this happening is certain pictures of your face or arms or other things you have take picture of or tried to paint. another example of this u can quickly test is by holding ur hand out infront of you and trying to hide ur hand behind your wrist. if u do this at some point your hand will not look like a hand at all. this is foreshortening. drawing ur hand exactly as u see it at that point, with ur fingers and most of ur palm of top of hand hidden so that it doesn't look like a hand at all when ur drawing it, but because most people know what a hand look like, when seeing this they would be able to see or think that it is a hand viewed from a personal perspective.

@@IntheStudioArtInstruction and then I assume how much it blends depends on how reflective the material is + how strong the light is?
best tips & clear 👌 thank you so much 🙏♥️
My pleasure 😊

Cola, what you are describing is how we see the tilt of angles and their lengths, and the size of spaces between them.
Way cool. Thank you.
Our pleasure!
Amazing.
Thanks!
I yours colors tanks
Myriam, I'm not sure what you are saying...
