This came just when I needed it! I paint with acrylics, but so much of what you teach crosses these boundaries! Anyway, I’ve just started painting one of my first original paintings from a photo I took-I’ve only just started painting in last few years, and have learned mostly via online tutorials. This picture I want to paint involves several mountains, most of which have lost edges! Beautiful synchronicity! Thank you, Dianne! 🙏🎨💕
My dear, I can always count on you to dig up some obscure, wonderful little concept from the depths of the (shallow but expansive) ocean of painting knowledge.
Even though I try to use lost edges in my paintings, this tutorial helped explain why and how to me so I can make the painting more harmonious.... now to put it into action! Thanks, Dianne!
Wonderful explanation that I needed. I saw a headline on an art tutorial that said, “What about edges?” I thought, “they will be covered by the mat.” I thought the author was referring to the four edges of the canvas or paper the painting was made on. LOL. Can you tell I am just beginning my painting journey?
I made it. The 12 color wheels you buy at art supply stores have a bunch of stuff built into the middle of them, but you can use an xacto knife and cut all that out to have the opening.
Barry, I have watercolor brushes that go all the way back to the 1960's, but I don't use them any more because I've found over the years others I love better. I have two bristle oil blenders that go back that far, too, but I rarely use them because I've grown partial to newer ones.
Not really. A soft edge is an edge that is still visible, but is softened, whereas a lost edge allows the eye to move right through the edge without a noticeable division.
Thankyou! I entered a painting in a show and because of your tips, it won first. Very grateful.
Wonderful! Congratulations!

Wow, thank you!
Your videos are a gold mine. Thank you Diane.
You are so welcome!
Thank you again. You are such a great teacher. The Lost edge principle will be used in future🇦🇺🙏
Makes total sense when you explain it, thanks again Diane 😊
You are so welcome!
I have been trying to grasp the whys and hows of lost edges for years and this is the first time someone has explained it that made sense, thank you!
My pleasure, Debra!
Thank you. Will try this on my current painting.
Wonderful!

Enjoy the journey!
Splatterpunk said what I thought but said it better. Thank you for so many of these tips.
You bet!
Thank you, I shall use your technic right away 👍
Have fun with it, Claude.
Learned a new principle today. Thank u for this valuable tutorial that will help me on my landscape paintings. More power to you and God bless🔥
My pleasure! Have fun with it!
Great Quick Tip! Can't wait to try to use lost edges.... and look at my earlier work to see if I did or could have... Thanks!
Have fun with it, Debbie.
As always thank you for a great and clear explanation and examples. it makes sense.
Give it a try, Eve.

Thank you !!
My pleasure.
Very informative
Thanks for watching.
It’s hard to do this with acrylic because it dries so fast.
You can control that by either using a retardant, using open acrylics of keeping it damp.
thank you
My pleasure.
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
You made this so easy! Wondering where you found that color wheel with the openings? Did you make that yourself? Thanks so much.
I made it. The 12 color wheels you buy at art supply stores have a bunch of stuff built into the middle of them, but you can use an xacto knife and cut all that out to have the opening.
wow..... impressive
Thanks!
do you have any brushes from your time as a teacher that you still use?
Barry, I have watercolor brushes that go all the way back to the 1960's, but I don't use them any more because I've found over the years others I love better. I have two bristle oil blenders that go back that far, too, but I rarely use them because I've grown partial to newer ones.
Hi,
Is it the same as soft edge?
Not really. A soft edge is an edge that is still visible, but is softened, whereas a lost edge allows the eye to move right through the edge without a noticeable division.
