So nice to have another painting demonstration

I enjoy watching you paint and listening to your commentary ❤ amazing landscape

I just ordered a ton of Geneva paint and brush cleaner. You make me want to figure out oils.

Yes!! My favorite channel.Thanks Mark for taking your time to share this with us. I wish more artists on YTube had this format of video so you didn't feel the pressure of having to upload all the time. I know that being a channel with 300K subs must come with some feeling of having to produce a video. We are lucky you feel like doing it.

Your explanation for color "temperature" finally makes sense for me! I just wasn't "getting" it...Thank you so much! Love your painting...

Arthur Streeton was one of my heroes. I studied painting at the South Australian Art School. Our State Art Galllery has a wonderful collection of his works If you can - please visit to see Streeton's work in real life - they are stunning.

The realism and your style in it is absolutely amazing!

Yes pretty good result at the end. Thanks for publishing and also giving us the opportunity to learn from far away.

Nice to see your talent so clearly explained in this short lesson. Not so easy to master however. Your private class in Austin proved to be the key to getting alot of this technique into a workflow that can be repeated reguardless of the subject matter. I am going up to Idaho for the summer months for in-field photo work and painting thereafter. Thank you for the continued instruction. Cheers

I enjoy your method thanks for sharing

You're a fantastic teacher! Your realism is real and pleasant to the eye. Thank you for sharing. I bought some of your paints a while ago. Things are getting so expensive lately...

Yay for Geneva Paint!!!!

As I said before, I love your paintings.

Great video Mark! Definitely like watching you paint and I really enjoy the landscape. Thank you for sharing!🌎🖌️

Please do More of these sir, your amazing ❤❤❤

Thanks for this!! It really motivates me to paint!

Brilliant as usual Mark

Fabulous work Mark ,, Thankyou very much for your inspirations

I so appreciate you sharing your artistic experience. Thank you.

Great lesson, and a great end result! Thank you!

Thank you very much!! So good!

Love it. Wish you would have kept the brownish red in the mountain as it is a dramatic sunlight effect. But I love the looseness you have. So hard for me to stay loose like that!

Thanks for the demo and advice.

Thank you!!!, I learn a lot from your videos!!!

You motivated me to painting again. Thanks Mark

Amazing ✨️✨️I enjoyed watching

Excellent ❤

I live in Austin and want to take your classes. Love your videos.

Thanks for sharing landscape painting demos. Streeton however had in general lighter paint/values in his paintings - would you not say?

What do you do with leftover paint?

What printer do you use? Mine prints out images less vibrant then what my Apple I phone gives me. Also what computer would be good to use as my reference if working from computer ?

do you think you will be shipping to UK and EU in the near future?

Great video! How did you keep your palette wet for 10 days?

Sir, as for knowledge, If i am an self thought artist then i i have to reduce my paintings price? hope you will reply......

Thanks for sharing Mark! May I ask which color you used to tone the canvas?

I agree .l hate artificial colours in paintings real colours are more calming and beautiful

How did you keep your colours wet ten days later???❤

I’ve just decided the same and to move towards generating photos instead. If you put ‘film still’ in the prompt then they’re much more realistic. E.g film still, style of 2020s countryside programme, (put description in of what image you want) natural light, global illumination, uplight f/1.8 --ar 4:3 --style raw Found this much better to paint from

Anyone understand what does he mean paint on dry canvases? Does he usually paint into a couch?

I used Midjourney a lot to create all kinds of scenes, then I paint them in my own style (and I always change the image created by Midjourney in many details)

do you draw from memory, from imagination? I'm 28, painting has been my hobby for only 4 years, and it worries me that I still can't draw anything serious from my imagination or from memory. Only primitive images appear (a tree with a brown trunk and green leaves).

I felt frustrated by this for a looong time. Now I’m 48 I’ve realised along the way that a lot of what hindered me was the actual worrying in itself. Maybe try and relax more with it? Have more fun, try not to think too much while you’re painting put on some music and enjoy the act of painting? It’s helped for me. It’s always amazed me that everything in dreams is so well formed. Even as a kid I could see arial views of the land, houses etc. So it is in there, just the leap from brain to the outside world 🙂

I think it’s important to use everything. I think AI like my journey can give you amazing ideas on compositions that you would never thought of and as long as you’re adding your own voice to it, it’s an age just like anything else besides, what’s the difference when you step outside and copy what God created, pretty much same thing

Good video, very useful to see your process. But I do disagree about what you said about describing colors… It’s not true that if you say “your color is too purple,” that someone automatically knows to add yellow. If their color was already purple, & you said “your color is too saturated,” then they’d know that adding yellow, its compliment, would be an effective way of neutralizing it… But if you just say “Your color is too purple,” that could mean any number of things depending on what color you’re aiming for, & therefore what direction you need to correct in. If you’re trying to mix a grey, & it’s coming out purple, then sure, “too purple” could indicate that you need some yellow to neutralize it. But, for example, maybe you are trying to mix a blue-purple indigo kind of color… Then “too purple” could mean you need to add blue, to move in the direction of a cooler purple. Or if you’re trying to mix a very vibrant, warm reddish-violet, then “too purple” could mean that you need to add some quinacridone rose or permanent rose- something pinkish or reddish. I wouldn’t really say there’s an inherent advantage to saying “more blue” or “cooler,” “more red” or “warmer.” They’re just two different ways of communicating essentially the same idea. It seems to me that it’s pretty much just context-dependent which is the clearer, quicker way of explaining what you mean. Cooler/warmer is nice (alongside more or less saturated & lighter or darker in value) in that it’s more of a universal principle… Whereever a color you’ve mixed is on the color wheel, you can always either go in a “warmer” or “cooler” direction, in absolute terms, & every color can be said to be a “warm” or “cool” version of the color it is in relative terms (a “warm red” leans towards orange, a “cool red” leans towards purple; a “warm green” leans towards yellow, a “cool green” leans towards blue). So I certainly do think it’s important & useful for an artist to be able to navigate in these terms, to understand what they mean. Especially because it makes mixing from a split primary palette infinitely easier, which is a very efficient way to mix colors. In order to mix a vibrant, saturated purple, you’ll always want a warm blue + a cool red. In order to mix a vibrant, saturated orange, you’ll always want a warm red + a warm yellow. And so with a cool yellow + a cool blue to make a vibrant, fully saturated green. Which also tells you that if you lean one of those colors in the opposite direction, you’ll get a somewhat more muted range of secondary colors, & if you lean both of them in the opposite direction (from that which produces the fully saturated version) then you’ll get a very neutral, earthy version. So from a color theory perspective & a practical mixing perspective, this is a very powerful framework. That’s why it’s so widely used. On the other hand, when you say “add more blue,” that will always pull you towards blue on the color wheel, & you definitely can hypothetically navigate that way too… But it doesn’t generalize into universal principles in the same very powerful way… What “adding more blue” will do to the color depends on what the color was before, where it was on the color wheel. For some colors it’ll mean that a green becomes less yellow, or that a purple becomes less red. For some colors it’ll neutralize them & move them towards a desaturated grey. Or it could mean that a grayish color becomes a more saturated blue. It might be the correct advice given a specific color that a student has mixed, but it isn’t something they can really generalize. I mean, sure, you know that adding red will always make a color warmer (unless it’s already as red & warm as can be)… But there you go- to even say that, you’ve had to reintroduce the concept of color temperature, because that’s the real principle you’re identifying- red just happens to be a warm color & therefore warms other colors. So why not just talk in terms of warmth vs coolness to begin with? Obviously you & anyone else can think about this stuff however is useful to them. But I know that in my own experience, learning to understand the color wheel & color temperature was foundational to me understanding color mixing; learning those basic principles that generalize is infinitely easier & more versatile than trying to memorize every possible case where you would need to add red, blue, or yellow specifically in order to get to a particular result. If you just learn that, to mix a pure secondary color, you want the versions of the two primary colors which are already closest to the color you’re trying to mix (such as the warm red + warm blue to get a saturated purple), & to neutralize a color you use it’s compliment, & just look at a color wheel as you work, you’re already nine tenths of the way to great color mixing. Learning to break a color & its relative color temperature down & conceptualize the component parts that make it up is really important. For example, understanding that if you have a “warm blue,” that means that the blue has some amount of red in it (but just not enough to be “purple”), & a “warm red” has a little yellow in it, & a desaturated red has a bit of its compliment, green in it (which means it has a bit of blue *and* a bit of yellow in it)… The same way that, on a software like Photoshop or a digital painting app, when you choose w color it might tell you the relative proportions/levels of each primary color… That pretty much gets at what’s important. If someone wants to focus on which primary to add at a given moment then that’s fine, but I would definitely not discourage them from thinking in terms of color temp, because the former really isn’t a complete substitute for the latter.

I have to say, I really wanna get into the learn sessions and study from you but the MJ references usage is just very off putting to me. Just knowing what these greedy companies tries to achieve (which is replacing the arts that you teach) is just very frustrating and constantly getting me to finally leave. Please consider for us, humans, these things because art’s definitely connect us and help us convey an emotion and express. I find the usage of Ai, at least currently deeply disturbing and depressing. That’s all
