I just love, love your instructions. I feel very fortunate to be able to benefit of your great knowledge! Excellent teacher and a very generous person. Rest assure we really appreciate you.
6:42 I really like this idea of using darker transparent colours to mix with lighter colours so that darker shades retain some vibrancy. I am going to have to play with this. Thanks so much!
Thank you Dianne, for this invaluable short , clear , and concise lectures , and for the generosity of sharing your knowledge. You are an excellent teacher and painter.
As always with your quicktips, I am so motivated to go and try this. I thought I had the color code cracked with complements, but this opens up new horizons! Thank you!
Thank you for a more in depth explanation of darkening yellow. I love mixing colors and this quick tip just took me to a whole new level of understanding. The fun part about painting is that you never stop learning.
This is especially useful since many of us are painting flowers and we want them to look fresh and transparent. I will surely save this Quick Tip and pass it on.
[4:36] "And I'm not quite sure what's available in acrylic." In my experience, for the most part, any tube color that is available in oils is also available in acrylic though not necessarily every manufacturer carries them all, and few do like to use creative names so be sure to check those pigment numbers.
Great tip. I think your matching of colors is easier to see when you put some paint on a piece of paper and hold it next to what you are trying to match,
Dianne, you are as good as your word! This was my quick tip request which you had agreed to address. Thank you so much for it. I'm sure these guidelines will be helpful to additional viewers, as well. On a different note: I am still unable to discern the desaturated blue in the tree bark of the latest chat. Could this be caused by the particular set-up of a computer monitor? (Experimenting with software didn't help.) Or does this sometimes happen as a result of different visual perceptions on the part of different viewers? Thank you once again for your elucidating quick tip. Be well, Carol.
Carol, monitors vary so much that my guess is yes, the monitor is the problem. Unfortunately, there's not much we can do about that beyond adjust our own monitors, and even that doesn't always render a true picture.
I would've tried with earth colors even though purple is it's compliment on the wheel. My darkest voilet is permanent blue violet seeing I mostly paint with Amsterdam acrylics, but now I've found dioxazine purple at Golden so that's on my shoppinglist now 😀 Thank you.
Thank you for this valuable information. I will try this with orange. Every time I try to make orange more opaque, it changes the color too dramatically. It goes to peach or mud.
Yes, raw umber is a dark yellow, but raw umbers vary in saturation according to the manufacturer. Some raw umbers will work, but others tend to be too neutral so will desaturate the yellow too much.
There's a British artist I just discovered on TH-cam who makes a good argument that compliment colour mixing doesn't always work.He doesn't use that method. He demonstrated that using compliments in the lighter values strips the saturation.He chooses instead to use colours like raw and burnt umber,transparent oxide red ect.They appear to work very well.He paints a lot of floral pictures so maintaining saturation in the lighter values is very important.
Oddly, when we are using colors like raw and burnt umber, we are using desaturated versions of the hues, so optically, they work the same way. The best practice is to experiment with controlling value, hue and saturation and find out for yourself.
Other languages are available. You need to click on English auto generated and then auto translate for the list of languages. I just watched in Spanish CC.
You are able to do that yourself on TH-cam. When you’re watching a TH-cam video, look for the CC (Closed Captions) icon. It’s usually located in the lower-right corner of the video player. Click the CC icon to turn on subtitles. A red line will appear under the icon when closed captions are enabled.
I have pretty good mixing for color skill but I never mix enough of it. Bad habit.. dibby dab it and then I need to keep mixing on the spot again and again. I think it has to do with conservation of supplies because I really don’t like waste. I suppose it’s ok but wastes time?
I paint with acrylic, not oil, and have had to learn to mix in bigger batches in one go. The reason is that a bigger pile of paint on my palette dries more slowly than a smaller and thinner one. (A surface area thing, I think.) So those little dabs actually were wasting more paint. And, of course, any excess can be saved for another day. I have some thimble-sized plastic containers that seal tightly. With a little slow-dry medium stirred in, they've kept for months. Good luck!
Thankyou. Dianne is the best art teacher on the internet!
Thanks, Frances!

Top level stuff.

@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Dianne, could you please explain why you have so much paint down when it seems like you are using very little? thank you
thankyou
Our pleasure.
❤Thank you.
Our pleasure.
Thank you for this valuable information. I will try this with orange. Every time I try to make orange more opaque, it changes the color too dramatically. It goes to peach or mud.
You can do it!
I don't know what is more complicated, painting lemons 🍋or rocket science 🚀
Answer: Neither when you understand the fundamentals.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Sorry, my I.Q. is too low.
What about adding raw umber? Raw umber is a dark yellow, so it seems an obvious choice. (I don't have raw umber, so I can't test it.)
Yes, raw umber is a dark yellow, but raw umbers vary in saturation according to the manufacturer. Some raw umbers will work, but others tend to be too neutral so will desaturate the yellow too much.
why are subtitles disabled?

Not yellow but yella. Got it
This was just a joke. Great tutorial by the way
That's what you get when you grow up in the south :)

the subtitles are only in English. Please activate the subtitles in the other languages as well

Just think about it like this: waste the artist or waste the material.
I paint with acrylic, not oil, and have had to learn to mix in bigger batches in one go. The reason is that a bigger pile of paint on my palette dries more slowly than a smaller and thinner one. (A surface area thing, I think.) So those little dabs actually were wasting more paint.

Yella? 🤣
Yep, that's my southern accent.
Thank you! Great lesson! ❤
