A lovely demonstration. The muted tones feel more repressed. But yet there is a deep beauty in the darks. You are probably for me the best artist, I have come across on YTube. Your demonstrations, insights are worth their weight in gold. Thanks for sharing amongst aspiring amateur painters like myself.
I like your presentation style. Un-pushed. Makes you easy to listen to! Fun watching you paint and hearing your reasons for doing things as you go, too. Great, really.
I'm a great fan of Tonalism and just loved this video. Love your final painting. You packed a lot of information in this short video. I am going to take your advice and be diligent about prepatory value sketches. Happy New Year and blessings!
Thanks again for a very instructive video! You put words on styles, technics, and so much more... I've only been painting for 2 years and I have sooo much to learn... I especially like this style: tonalism. I love tonalism, I didn't know it was called like that, I even have George Inness "Heron" as my desktop wallpaper! Keep'em coming 😊 All the best for you and your family in 2022 😃👩🎨
Thank you, Malcolm. That was an informative explanation and a beautiful demonstration. If I understood properly, the tonalism implies a play with (presumably) middle values and a restricted range of colors. Tonalists depict mainly moody and/or mysterious and almost monochromatic landscapes... The expanded range of colors in your oil-painting helped to reduce depressive gloominess and brought in a bit of joy (increasing an impact too). My question is: should a "tonalistic painting" be necessarily sad? Just musing...😀. Happy painting!
I actually ask myself that too. Certainly a sensitive and introspective approach. I suspect that early tonalists had the loneliness of vast landscapes to consider.
I was prepared to hate tonalism, but your painting had enough white and warmth in it that it wasn't depressing at all. Thank you and Happy New Year to you and your family. Thanks for all your tutorials.. very helpful.
Happy New Year! Often I have references like this, where there is not enough contrast and a lot of mist and fog. I usually stay away from them, though they can be some of the most beautiful scenes. This will help me know how to deal with the white. Thanks...Heading to the painting closet now!
Hi Malcom. Just a couple of things to note. Tonalist painters AKA brown school painters had very muted colors. Similar to a Zorn palette. Colors like blue weren’t used much if at all due to its cost since lapis was semi precious. Instead they used a blue/black such as ivory black and sometimes mixed a small amount of blue in it. Colors were tinted or shaded with white or black or white and brown, hence brown school painters.. a good palette to use for tonalism would be transparent orange, alixeron crimson, white and ivory black with some ultra Marine mixed in it. You could imagine the color harmony this limited of a palette would produce.

Thanks Michael, yes closer value relationships and softer edges are more important than white paint. Dave it for the essential lights only.
Thank you, very good video.
Glad you liked it!
thank you
Nicely done. 👍 Happy New Year, sir.

What’s the name of the paints? Graphit?
Graphitint by Daler Rowney
Does fog is a very important element for the Tonalism ? 😂
Atmosphere that softens edges 😄
