    What a great video! Excellent comparison. I do appreciate both but my inclination goes to the blended pear. I love to see the values and transitions. All artists have their own style and I respect all of them. As I was reading the comments, I read one about the music. My thoughts about it is you listen to what you want and whatever makes you feel comfortable while painting and I do respect everyone’s taste for music. I have watched the video twice and I was so concentrated in your painting I didn’t even paid attention to the background music. You did a great job and I thank you for reinforcing the title, To blend or NOT blend! I wish you all the best and I’m subscribing to your channel. ❤❤❤

      Thank you so very much, we seem to think similarly 😊
      I'm glad to hear it was useful -- thank you for your sub!

    I agree
    These geniuses say don’t blend but then they say the best painter was Leonardo, who blended.
    Do what you want but if you only listen to experts and their rules you will never make anything new

      Exactly. And not only blended, but blended through layering. It took a really long time to finish the paintings.
      As we like to say, "learn the rules to know how to break them".

    Great lesson. Thank you. I liked them both but my absolute favorite is the blended pear ✌🏼 I subscribed.

      Thanks for the sub! Agreed ;) Though, I like how playful the textured pear looks.

    Great lesson! Thank you! I really like the second combination and I will try to practice it similarly to what you showed in the video. All I get is a boring, "licky" version :))) Best regards!

    • @CuriousOilPainter
      @CuriousOilPainter  3 місяці тому +1

      Thank you for the comment, glad it was helpful! With "licky" versions, I think it can help to look at renaissance and post-renaissance still lifes too: they're very smooth and colourful with rich visual texture. Those, from my understanding, have many layers that help all of those characteristics come to life.
      Kind regards! :)

    Don't lighten the green with white.
    That makes it look chalky.
    Add some yellow to the white to keep the hue warm.

    • @CuriousOilPainter
      @CuriousOilPainter  3 місяці тому +1

      Thanks for another tip! I never mix only white to my colours, I always add to my mixture cadmium yellow or lemon yellow, and yes that makes a world of a difference to bring warmth to the hues. When I want a colder effect, I add a hint of french ultramarine or indian blue. I quite like that effect. Kind regards :)

    Thanks for posting this. I've struggled to like the idea of blending, but it might easier.

    • @CuriousOilPainter

      Both have their respective 'pros and cons', I hope you have fun experimenting with blending :)

    Another video with annoying and totally unnecessary background music.
    Imagine yourself standing behind and watching someone painting en plein air.
    Do you have to whistle or hum a tune?
    No.
    You are absorbed by what you are watching.
    In silence.
    We don't need to be entertained every minute with words or music.

      Damn, I absolutely agree, I sincerely went on what I've been finding and thought that's what people were interested in. I really like hearing the sounds of the brush and background with what I see, though, my background sounds tend to be my cat wreaking havoc around the room so I figured it would help to hide those haha. Thank you for (what I think is) constructive criticism, duly noted. :)

      @@CuriousOilPainter You create very good videos. Gives the viewer the idea that they're an acquaintance coming to see your studio. so U sound like you combine that and a professor at an art school. may i suggest you have some very faint music in the background...something you'd listen to every day.
