Henry I think your art piece is wonderful. I love the hat so well done and also I’m so happy that you’re doing this memory for the son and every time he looks at it he’ll always remember his bond with his dad. It just warms my heart. thank you for everything you just taught us on broken Color I appreciate it.
Hey! Great video, about the best one on broken colour on TH-cam. Any chance you could do a full (small scale) landscape painting using broken colour and walking us through the techniques used? Your tutorial is about the most informative thing I’ve seen on the matter, so don’t think I’m being ungrateful!
Thank you Dylan for your kind comments. I have been wanting to do some more videos and I will try to do one for you on the broken color as I use it in a painting, landscape.
HenryWilliamRiffeII that would be so cool! It would be so useful. I’m trying to invoke Monet with my own painting and finding it so hard. This video was a help though so any more would be great’
@@dylanduke1075 I'm rooting for you buddy but keep in mind, I'm no Monet. I will try my best to show what I have learned and you would be surprised how hard it is to convey on video. Hope to do some soon.
Hi thanks for this video. Very interesting. One thing that is very rarely discussed and hard to understand is how to choose the différents colors and how they interact with each other to create interesting effects. Why put this color close to this one instead of another... Any thought on that? I'm having a hard time finding I formation explaininh about that. Thanks again!
Great question, worthy of a video in answer. I am not formally trained, self taught only. My answers and ideas are what I would do or what I think or believe, not necessarily the gospel. I too have wondered this same thing and all I could come up with and the way I approach it is like this: 1) OBSERVATION. Squint down, open your eyes wide, don't just look but see. Is it cooler here, warmer there? Brings us to 2) PRELIMINARY WORK: Do small sketches in color and experiment. Bend that local color you are using to each primary, keeping it all the same value. 3) STUDY THE MASTERS: Find an artist you love who uses this technique or one that paints a similar subject you are painting and see how they handled it. 4) PHOTOSHOP: If you are using reference images open them in a software like Photoshop and go to Images > Posterize and move the slider around and see if it can give you hints. I hope this helps and thank you for the question Adrien. - Henry
Trying to help anyone that can't afford to purchase expensive videos. I have no money invested in these videos, so it is just for the love of it. I am fortunate to have a good job and my art is selling well so I can give back this way. Anything in particular that you want me to talk about just let me know, if I can I will get to it. Thanks Snapper.
@@snapperlee8670 I will sure try. I have been thinking of doing a series of short videos that address each aspect of the process and include both watercolor and oil. Thanks for the input.

Thank you Vickie for the kind words.
This is EXTREMELY useful!! Only video I've found so far that explains how to actually, practically achieve optical blending.
thank you
Thanks for the video! Very nice job with the commissioned painting. Looks great.
Thank you Bobby!

HenryWilliamRiffeII like can you make a vid on your technique maybe if you wouldn’t mind ?
