STEADY Your HAND! How To Use A Mahl Stick || Quick Art Tips
Need to put in those delicate tiny details? Are you smudging your wet paintings? Are you having a difficult time calming your hand? Use a Mahl stick! The traditional painting & drawing aide to steady your hand for precision and control.
The origins of the Mahl stick go back to the German and Dutch artists of the mid 17th century. Mahl stick is derived from "Malstock" or "Maalstok," which translates to 'painter's stick.'
But the real reason you are reading this description is because you are wondering why did I have to make it into an old cable informercial. Okay...okay... I guess growing up in the 90's with all those late night informercials DID affect me. I really should have just gone to bed. Anyway, please don't try to order one. Just go down to your local hardware store and pick up a wooden dowel. You'll be glad you did.
Enjoy and thanks for watching!

    The Zorn palette is actually a muted RBY primary colour palette. The white is useful only for those who work with oils, acrylics and gouache. If you replace the Ivory Black with any chromatic mix of black, like a mix of Red and Green, or Magenta with Green, that both mixes neutralize each other and give black you can easily have the range of dark muted blues that you can't get from the single pigmented Ivory black.

    As a red-green colorblind painter, limited palettes are super helpful for keeping track of what I’ve used and preventing introduction of unintentional hues.

    • @michaeljohnnolan
