Great video man. One thing to add from my days in grad school, the Hudson River School landscape painters (Cole, Durand, etc.) didn't have access to Ult blue as it was still ridiculously expensive. They used Prussian blue mostly. I find it much tougher to work with personally, nearly as bad as Thalo. A very gifted Prof of mine and an exceedingly skilled landscape painter shared with us his "shortcut" for getting these naturally-desaturated greens. Try mixing some greens with a high quality Ivory Black (now Bone Black) and your yellows (Cad Light, Lemon or Medium). It's a surprising little hack that I suspect other historical painters used before French Ult Blue became so affordable.
You’re absolutely awesome and so helpful! I’ve been working with soft pastels for the past year and want to incorporate painting too. I’ve just ordered my first set of Golden Open Acrylics. I’ve been taking notes on color mixing. I guess I’ll find out how deep I want to go after my first week of mixing colors and making swatches. If it’s working out for me I will be going back to school with your classes. Thank you❣️
For distant greens I like mixing cerulean blue with yellow ochre or cerulean and cadmium yellow with a little bit of cadmium red light. Sometimes I'll gray greens with burnt umber. A lot of interesting greens can be made using black as a base.
I was led here from your pin on Pinterest, and just had to come here to say how grateful I am for your content. Pinterest is chalked full of click bait art "lessons", so when I stumbled across your page, I was in awe of all the helpful tutorials and mixing guides you have so thoughtfully taken the time to make and share with self taught artists. Thank you so much Sam, you have no idea how much you helped me find my passion for painting.
Great job. Thanks. It would be good to explain what it was you didn't like about the mountain in the background. I thought it looked really good. But in the end, changing it was the right choice. I also like the reference to Tischler.
Thanks for the report. I've lived in California all my life, most of it has been in N. CA. I can't tell you how many times I have seen it do the complete opposite from what the weather forecast tells. As the old saying goes..Everyone talks about the weather, but nobody ever does anything about it, or something like that.
