    Cezanne drained some of the oil out of the tube paint by putting the paint on paper . The paper absorbed the oil . Monet did this too, and so did I . The paint becomes quite stiff after this , so he used turps to thin it down . He did not blend . Strokes side by side . It took him over 170 ( ? ) sittings for a particular portrait. His earlier work was not done in this fashion. Because his paint did not contain much oil , it did not crack , or not as much. Oil in paint yellows the pictures, less oil , less yellowing. I don’t think he painted like you at all. No he did not .

    Thank you Dietman for your comments which are very helpful I do the same too if I want dry paint. But this depends on the colour I am using as some colours are opaque and others are transparent. . Orange for instance is opaque and loses it's quality quickly when white is added. So it needs to be glazed and oil is better for doing this as the quality of the colour does not fade when it dries. If you look at Cezanne's works he appears to be doing the same. Cracking is nothing to do with medium used but tends to happen more when the turps or oil is not consistent throughout the painting as some areas will dry before others.

    Sorry to disappoint but stopped because my film maker is too busy. Zorn's mixing is like Freud's. The video on colour perception explains why certain colours appear to change hue when the neutral colours black, white and grey are added

    I should trust myself more. When I was analysing Cezanne I've seen those black paints in hi work that looked really dark. But I've been thinking, can't be black, he was mixing it to get it. It's what we've been told it's no, no. I've also noticed lots of hard thin black lines in some of his work, like he was using black or dark blue ink for underdrawing. Does anyone knows anything about that? Thanks for the video, by the way.

    Absolutely, never understood why people waste their time with a profuse pallete. Best research you can do is to understand that all full color printed materials are made from 4 inks: yellow, cyan,magenta and black.

  • @GreatArtistsSteal
    @GreatArtistsSteal8 ай бұрын

    I guess because many people waste time and paint trying to mix the colours they want with the palette you suggest.

  • @LyubomirIko
    @LyubomirIko9 ай бұрын

    This whole "no-black is better" myth is disarming a lot of people of ton of possibilities, as well the black is so expressive. Of course some people treat shadow=black and if badly executed the effect is off putting, hence it's helpful to take this pigment off the palette.

  • @GreatArtistsSteal
    @GreatArtistsSteal8 ай бұрын

    It depends, I think on the type of painting you want to. Half mixes, for example, can not be done if you use black to darken a colour. Unless you want black to show.

    ​@@GreatArtistsSteal Black is hardly black in mixes, mixed with yellow/ish colors it will turn subtle green, with white - it have cold hue and in context will look like blue, not grey. In glazes thin layers of black actually will warm the colors (while white glaze will make them look cold) Overall, Apelles (Zorn) palette can be all you need, and can easily be modified with additional color or two.

    Hi Ian, how do you reduce (or increase) the value of a colour without losing colour intensity/chroma? Very confused about how to adjust value but maintain the same colour intensity. Are these two different techniques?

  • @GreatArtistsSteal
    @GreatArtistsSteal9 ай бұрын

    When you darken the intensity is always less. However when you lighten some of the dark cool hues with a small amount of white the intensity increases. Eg viridian, French ultramarine blue. Prussian blue, Phthalo blue.

    Also used 5 parts linseed oil mixed with one part Zest-it If I had used turpentine it would be 3 to 1 in favour of the oil. Just wet the brush slightly. The paint has to be semi- transparent when applied so the ground colour is just seen coming through the paint. This helps to create the glow of a Cezanne
