Your instruction is saturated with beneficial commentary that gives the student the language of artistic expression! - a rare talent found only in the highest level of instructional abilities! To see and hear the language is one thing - to be able to speak fluently is another! :) My bountiful gratitude for your generosity that brightens so many lives!!!!!

Thanks, Janet. The visual language is like the spoken language. Once we learn how to speak it, we can use it more effectively.

You are a gift! Best description of abstracting an image I've ever heard.

Thank you,I needed this to bring me back. I know what you speak of but it is nice to be reminded even after 40 years of practice which tended to accent the detail rather than the pattern of shapes of light and dark.

George, it might help to remember that building a painting is no different from building a house. You need the framework before you put in the trimming features.

So appreciate these tips and lessons. You know exactly how to explain things and it is so obvious that you know what you are talking about. Thanks for posting your wonderful videos.

@IntheStudioArtInstruction

4 жыл бұрын

Naïve expression in painting is (quoting from the Art Terms website) "A simplified approach to painting (in which) the artist of naive style lacks formal training..." So for a painting to be "naïve", one would approach it without applying painting principles. In other words, one just paints, more or less, as a child would. That's the best I can come up with. Once we've had training in painting, in my opinion, it's impossible to do naïve expression.

Thank you for this wonderful video. You explain things very well and I found this to be very helpful!

Yes. The original Impressionists were studying light and color. The original Abstractionists were using the visual elements as their subjects without regard to imagery. That's a truncated explanation, but the basic difference.

Do you do underdrawing for oil painting? As I normally paint in watercolour, I like to try in oil and wonder whether graphite pencil or charcoal is better for underdrawing, Thanks!

@IntheStudioArtInstruction

4 жыл бұрын

When working with all painting mediums, it is best to begin with a preliminary drawing For oil painting, graphite pencil is not the best choice because it melts with the paint and can muddy the colors. Some oil painters begin with a charcoal drawing, then use a fixative to prevent the charcoal from muddying the colors. I prefer either setting the preliminary drawing with a water based pen brush or using a brush with a solvent thinned paint. You can watch other Quick Tips, such as 188, and see me do that.

Can you please give me a quick tip on placing objects into a painting say from a story book or making up a character and placing it within the painting.. Where is the light source and how-to find etc Barbara from Perth. West Australia

Barbara, I will put your Tip request on our filming calendar. Since we film these a couple months in advance, it will be June before it appears. Meanwhile, if you study the works of Norman Rockwell, Harry Anderson and Stanhope Forbes, it will find excellent guides for placing figures for telling a story. As to where the light source is located, you decide that according to the time of day and kind of light you want the characters to live in. Also, you might find it helpful to tune in to our KZread chat on April 24 and 2 p.m. Eastern. The topic will be the Anatomy of Light and Shadow. I will be talking a lot about the light source .

Thank you so much.. that's very helpful.. just wondering if you already have a Quick tip that relates to my question or a demonstration I can purchase🌹

Is there a tip to of recognizing the difference between the value of dark colors and seeing what is in shadow and not in shadow when doing a notan and especially in a diffused light. Not sure if I am explaining what I mean. If I squint I'll see a hue that is a dark value and I'm confused on whether that is considered in shadow if I am seeing it in diffused light or it is just a dark hue. So I think I am asking if a value of a hue is naturally dark is that also called not in shadow??? Sorry for the confusion!!!

Abstraction feels like going on a diet. Leaning towards realism and abstracting from that style is a mind twister. I have tried to take less out each time I paint, but somehow I end up adding more and more information. I’m not saying this is a bad thing to do, just saying I find that the way I communicate takes me in another direction. I do want to learn more about abstraction so will revisit your suggested tips. As you say practice, practice, practice. Thank you again.

Painting is about expressing your individual uniqueness, more than anything else. Some folks express themselves better abstractly, while others do so with more description. We find what feels right for us and then we know that's where we get the most out of our work.

Looking at some of these old masters, it looks as if they all start out tight and by the end of their life are painting very loose. I always thought that was interesting and was curious if painting loose was like an end-goal of painting.

@IntheStudioArtInstruction

4 жыл бұрын

Not really. Beginners usually start out tight because they've not yet become totally comfortable with their tools. Also, in the early days, the instruction was tight. Once a painter masters the technical and design skills, he/she automatically loosens up because they no longer have to think about what they are doing.
