Hi Dianne, I notice you always have large amounts of paint around the perimeter of your palette. Is that all fresh? If so, how do you keep it from drying? Do you store your palette in the freezer? I only put out smallish amounts of paint but would love to know how to put out more and keep it fresh for awhile. I get lazy about putting out more paint and mess up my work by trying to use what's on my palette instead. And I worry about putting out too much, in case I waste it. I know I need to get over that. Thanks for this very useful video!
Waste the paint or waste the painting--something I've probably said thousands of times. Check out Quick Tip 115 for an explanation of the paint around my palette. Find it at ua-cam.com/video/RORenwUXMDI/v-deo.html
THANK YOU!!! I like to keep things tidy and myself clean of paint, and I know your "pulling from the edge" technique will both help keep my brushes from becoming overloaded and help keep mud out of the colors. Thank you, again!
Thank you Dianne. This will help me so much. I realize it may seem like common sense but just needed some help with this area. You always make things that seem complicated, simple. ♥️
Another great tip. I’ve watched you for quite some time now, and didn’t realize how you kept the pallet so neat! Simple, but so helpful! Thank you as always.
Professors in the art academy weren't teaching this!! I was doing right what you explained not to. I will use your tips in my painting session this evening. Thank you for this channel. You are so good teacher!!
Thank you once again Dianne. It was extremely helpful as I have watched other artists and their pallets are very messy although they know what they are doing they lose me in the mixing. Thank you very much.
This was great Dianne! I am usually a fairly neat painter but towards the end of the day painting, my palette gets pretty messy and I find myself searching for the color I just had picked up! So, I laughed when you said, well, when you get to that point, stop and clean your palette. So obvious but sometimes it takes a teacher to give us permission to stop. Enjoyed this one as always.
Oh, you're a Godsend! I knew my palette was a mess but no clue on how to fix it - I needed every single tip😅My first steps in painting have been messy, but you give me hope and courage to continue, thank you so much!
Thanks Dianne. Can you do a quick tip on judging the amount of paint to mix when painting? I think I'm being generous but find that halfway through a section of my painting that I've run out of my mixture. Then I find it difficult to mix the same color again. Thanks
There is already video about it in Dianne playlist. She have a mixture of clove oil plus gamsol sprayed on palette and then covered with plastic wrap. Greetings.
@@magnesskoo Thank you, a lot, for the fast answer. Unfortunately, I could not find the Quick Tip. Maybe you can give us av hint with the number of the Quick Tip. Thank you in Advance!
Great explaining Dianne, learning a lot from your videos, I do like to keep my pallet organized so your tips on it are great! If you can, please, what pallet and encase you'er using to keep the pile of colors. Thank you so much!
Hi Dianne! Could you do a quick tutorial on dagger brushes, please? I value your lessons and it would be very helpful to understand how to properly load and use a dagger brush. I've got a quarter inch Rosemary one, but no matter what I do, the paint won't come off it, especially during the modelling phase. I can't paint anything with it, the grass comes out looking either like chunks of paint or dots, never proper lines... I know artists all over can do pretty much anything with it, from waves to wispy clouds, so what am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance!
Daggers require the paint be bit more liquid than straight out of the tube for the paint to flow out of them. Those made of a stiffer synthetic or hog bristle work better with oils whereas the softer ones work better with watercolor. My experience with the dagger is mostly with watercolor. I've not found it particularly useful with oils so it would be dishonest of me to do a Quick Tip with a tool that I don't have expertise with.
Thank you for a pnother great demonstration. Could you please tell us how you keep your palette from drying out, or form a film on the paints, and how you top up the paints. Thank you very much, Kate
Just on the topic of palettes.....One thing that I did not realize when I first started painting that may be of value to someone out there is don’t use too small a palette. My palette is now 16“ x 20“. A few years ago if someone would’ve suggested a palette that big to me my eyebrows would’ve been so high in my hair I would’ve been speechless. But its fantastic. I actually made it myself out of a piece of old picture frame glass, foam board and duck tape, then I sandwiched in a couple of pieces of mid value gray colored disposable palette paper between the glass and the foam board to “color” the glass gray. All in all it was very inexpensive. 😃
Thank you so much! I am 50 year old and have no background in art. I recently came across your UA-cam channel and love the way you explain concepts, I have taken some painting lessons but no one explains the concepts. I want to know if there is a sequence in which I should be taking the lessons as I see so many different lessons that it is confusing. Can you please help?
The best sequence is to learn how to draw first, even though a lot of people resist that, but it IS necessary to good painting. The next step is purely technical--Learn to use the brush for creating shapes rather than just as a paint applicator. While learning to use the brush, begin to learn to create value differences as found in areas of light and areas of shadow. In other words, learn to gradate and contrast values. Learning about color mixing should follow. Once your technical skills begin to feel comfortable, the most important of all is learning how to SEE shapes, values, colors and textures and how to place them on your painting surface. Avoid all formula thinking. There is NO one way to paint anything. Hope this helps.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Such a fundamental concept, Dianne! This paragraph is a class in itself. Thank you very much for your time and generosity in passing on this essential knowledge!!!
I have what might be a dopey question but does the color of your clothes one wears while painting have a chance to reflect or change the colors you see on your palette? As you said you wear a white shirt all the time.
Not really. For color to reflect back on your palette, there has to be a lot of it and in a light source strong enough to cause the rays to bounce onto your palette. Wearing bright colored clothing while painting, though, CAN reflect onto your palette.
Hi Dianne, thank for this video. May I ask why you have those large piles of paint on your palette. I see a lot of artist putting their paints in lines, or just putting small amounts out at a time.
Diane, do you have a quick tip about organising the colours you have mixed in a logical order on your palette? You seem to do this. I can't find good info about this anywhere.
Hi! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I am about to start my journey in oil painting. I am wondering how to store paints in between paintings. I have an aluminum tray I will be working on.
Hi Dianne, a simple question, I hope you can enlighten me about please. I notice so many oil painters putting so much oil paint down around the edge of their the pallette. Wont this paint develop into a dry skin and turn into hard lumps over time? Thanking you in advance ☺
See Quick Tip 115. All these are available online at Jerry's Artarama, Blick Art Supplies, Cheap Joe's, and most likely at your local art supply store.
Hello Diane, making a transition to oils, or a self re introduction, I'm starting with primaries plus white, and a brown. Do you suggest to mix the secondaries first vs while painting? I sqeezing it out a line of paint for each. But that's not possible with secondaries. Thought this might make a cleaner palette. Thx
Dear Diana, can you please explain why your palette color is gray? I read somewhere that it is a neutral color and it helps with the selection of colors. But how does it work when painting on a white underpaint or with a colored underpainting? Best wishes from Poland.
My palette is very close to the middle value, in between the lightest, light and the darkest, dark. A middle value palette helps give a value comparison when mixing.
Dear Diane, Thanks a lot for your reply. In a word, is it, if I understood correctly, about the value of color? Only if I put paint on, for example, pink underpainting, will the perception of the color in the painting change, or am I wrong? I can't figure it out in my head. I paint too little and I get confused a bit :)) Best regards
which color is on your palet between red and yellow? I am trying to organise it like your palet, it's second christmasday and watching your wonderful video's!
i see many painters using the same board on which you put your paint what is it glass, acrylic, I use parchment paper very messy but it keeps my acrylic moist.
Palette differ according to whether you're using oil, acrylic, gouache, casein, egg tempera or watercolor. If it's working for you, why change it? For oils, my teaching palette is made of hard plastic, but my studio palette is glass.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction THANK YOU i was looking for other possibilities because the parchment paper gets wet and fall apart and I have to start all over. I think I will make a glass one at leat to mix the paint .
Danielle, when I learned to paint I was instructed to cover my palette with butcher paper, SHINY side up. This is very neat an tidy and it lasts a long time. Down side is that it is white rather than a neutral gray.
For acrylics I actually use aluminum foil. I mix paints on glass (I use an old picture frame). If it’s a group of tonal mixes or smaller amounts, I usually leave it as is on the glass, mist it with a mixture of water and retarder in a spray bottle, and cover with aluminum foil. When I come back, I take the foil off and scrape the paint that transferred to it back onto my glass palette. If I have a bigger quantity of paint, I put it on a small piece of aluminum foil and fold it up to create a little sealed pocket for the paint. It will stay good for a few days if sealed well! I often squeeze out all the colors in my palette in little aluminum pockets and keep them closed if I’m not using them at the moment. Not as easy as just leaving blobs of oil paint out, but a similar concept in terms of availability on the palette.
QUESTION, QT: What do you think of Bob Ross/Bill Alexander's wet on wet technique? Perhaps you'll do a wet on wet QT? I'm a new painter and really like it. Thanks so much, Ms. Dianne! I so appreciate you!!❤
I don't care for either Mr. Ross or Mr. Alexander, ONLY because their approach is what I call monkey-see, monkey do. They are teaching you to copy them, not how to compose and paint what you see or imagine.
This is ideal for plain air paintings and special situations, but , get a bigger one and paint freely, don't restrict yourself on such small details, focus on the painting.
Yea, I noticed you always wear the same shirt and never get any paint on it, unless you have a hundred of them, or a magic dry cleaning service, or just wear it for shooting videos and change afterwards into your real painting clothes LOL ! I have a friend who wears nice slacks and top, impeccable hair and makeup, and she never gets any paint on her .... baffles me ....
"There's a myth out there.....You don't have to get paint all over yourself in order to be a creative painter." No, you don't have to but I always SEEM to, LOL.
This is like being in a physical class with Master teacher, correcting our wrong habits. Thank you so much dear Dianne.

You learn to gauge that by the size of the surface you'll be covering--larger area, more paint. It's always better to have too much than not enough.
