Thanks. I have been doing monthly online workshops for more than three years now and have on our website -- www.diannemize.com -- 170 individual video lessons.
I am a portrait artist. I was taught pastels and color theory by a Columbus, Georgia artist named Cynthia Golden. I wanted to learn oil painting from her , but she moved back to Columbus, Georgia from Columbus, Ohio. I have watched about 80% of your quick tip videos and I have learned so much. Thank you for your time and the tips and congrats on your up coming 200th quick tip video. 🎨
I'm delighted you're finding this little snippets helpful. Being a portrait painter, have you discovered Cesar Santos? If not, he has a strong presence on TH-cam and I highly recommend him.
Thank you for your help. The only training I have is elementary school art and I took commercial art at a vocational school while attending high school. To my chagrin, it had little to do with 'fine' art. They assumed the students already knew much of the techniques. I still did well (thanks to a friends help) but mostly was self taught. Your videos have greatly improved my technique. Thanks again
In all the decades I've been teaching, one of the comments I get most from students who have taken art courses is that the teacher assumed they already knew the techniques. I am delighted to help fill that gap.
Thankyou, very helpful. I tried taping a canvas to a support as you showed but when i started painting the canvas buckled.maybe not enough coats of gesso.
Judith, if the gesso is too thin, that can happen. Also, high humidity can cause it. It does help to tape one side, then go to the opposite side while pulling the canvas tight.
I am new to painting and your instructions have helped me grasp painting and understand it, is there any particular brushes you recommend or sets for students? brands? I have been using masters touch since its on sale and I'm new.
From my viewpoint, for oil painting, there are no better brushes than those made by Rosemary and Company. However, Isabay and Utrecht make wonderful brushes, too, as long as you stick to their artists/professional grade. I recommend not using cheap brushes. These are your tools, your shape and texture makers, not just paint applicators.
going along with this great demo, since you have the shadow on the face as well, can you give a guide on color for the skin textures and brush strokes?
Skin tones vary according to complexion color and the light source and skin textures vary as well. The best advice I can give is to watch John Howard Sanden do a study of John Singer Sargent's Lady Agnew at th-cam.com/video/POVAbTjiAt4/w-d-xo.html . He has the best guidance for answering all your questions I am aware of.
Hi, I had a commission for a white horse in watercolour. I completed it only to be told it had a shaggy coat and not the smooth coat I had painted. So you can guess from that how bad the photograph was. Had another go at it, not shaggy enough. I asked for more photographs and the horse was indeed quite shaggy. I then brought out the soft pastels and used them. At last, a satisfied customer. I am still keen to know how I might have tackled it in watercolour. I would love to know how I should have painted it.

Great video, thanks. Very down-to-earth and actionable, you are wonderfully clear in explaining your process.
Thanks, Judith!
Wow, very informative! I love how you started with a wash even over the face to get a better idea of the value.
Thanks. Not my best demo, but it gets the job done.
They're all very helpful because they make us think! Many thanks for all you share!
Sooooo goooood!! Thank you for the gifts you give us!! 😇🙏🏼💕
My pleasure.

Once again, I enjoyed this video! So informative. Thank you!

Thank you for giving this precious info 😭 I've been struggling on coloring dark hair
You're so welcome!
This will really help me in painting hair. I have really struggled with painting any color of hair and will definitely use this technique.
It's all a matter of observation.
Thank you very well explained
Have fun with it.
Wow! Thank you so much! This was very informative and really gives me an idea on where to start what colors to use... :)
Glad it was helpful!

very nice work!

Starting out watercolors. I've seen videos where all others say to use light values first b4 dark...is hair the exception for this rule?
Throw the idea of rules aside. Historically, artists have discovered that when working with oils, working dark to light provides cleaner colors.

👍🏻 Great 👍🏻 🌷 thanks a bunch! I have a q, why I always see a deep dark violet shade in black hair under sunlight? Is this only my problem?
It's not a problem at all. Almost any color can be reflecting on black hair.
thank you so much
My pleasure.
Brilliant, Dianne. Could you do a watercolour for blonde hair. Thanks
Do you have a particular kind of blonde hair in mind? Long, short, curly, kinky, straight... ?

Morning 😊 please can you tell me the name of your solvent.
I use two: Gamsol for doing notans and Turpenoid for keeping brushes rinsed.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Thank you for your reply, but what is Notans ? I have never come across that word before.
Thanks.
What if its black hair against black background?
We would observe what the light is doing to the background.
Pozdrawiam.😊
