What I like in your videos is not only the masterly painting style but also the deep understanding of nature and your guidance which helps me so much! Thank you Malcolm, I am a big fan of yours.
c est double plaisir , celui de regarder une vidéo agréable ou tout se met en place avec aisance, de manière évidente, dans une incroyable économie de la touche. et puis aussi d'apprendre, de comprendre cette méthode simple, efficace. merci Malcolm pour ce partage c'est génial.
When I restarted painting about two years ago I was watching a lot of TH-cam videos to learn and when i found Malcolm was like finding a treasurer he is the only person who I learned something that improved me a lot especially his style suit the impressionist style that I was looking for Thanks again Malcolm for sharing your knowledge 🙏🏻❤️
I’ve just discovered your videos Malcolm and am delighted. At last I have found someone who can teach me “loose” painting. I lived in the Eastern Cape for many years and now live in the UK. Your painting style captures what I remember beautifully. Thank you. I look forward to watching more.
Yes indeed Malcolm your emphasise on darks and shapes building through medium to light and highlights is very encouraging. I am having a go at this and hopefully will improve my attempts. Thanks for your tips and instruction. Warner today in Scotland.
Hello Malcolm.... I am new at acrylics and have a picture of me and my little boy, walking on a lane surounded by trees and high grasses etc... Is it possible that I send it to you so you can paint it and maybe give me an idea of how to do it? If yes, where can I send it to?? Greetings from The Netherlands, Esmeralda & Kay I want to go big! and landscape setting (the canvas) :)
@@MalcolmDewey in struggling with that a bunch right now, I see others and think the take is awesome but mine I just think it's lazy and should be proper realism
@@WilfNelson1 neither approach is lazy or great - it comes down to which approach resonates with you. If you visited an art museum which approach attracts you instinctively? I was attracted to Impressionism the moment I saw it. I love the Old Masters like Rembrandt, but Impressionism in some form pulls me in. The rest is practice ...
@@MalcolmDewey yeah I think that's a lot of it. Impressionist is a beautiful style imo because it brings up that memories are treasured and amazing to us but they are hardly photo realistic and instead they are blurry and filled with movement and emotion. That is what I like. Plus I get bored of a painting around the 2 hour mark and quicker styles are good for that
I'm using water mixable oils, I don't particularly like using water so I use linseed. So if I were to do a 'lean' underlayer I would add linseed, and then as I progress into more 'fat' I would use less and less linseed?
Dear Malcolm, a beautiful painting. I want to paint along with you but the photo you are painting from is difficult to see. Can I find it somewhere? Thnx
Hi, I just found you , thank God, for I need a lot of help with values and colour mixing. Would you kindly tell me what you added to the whilte at 13:38 to make your lights? Thought I heard cad yellow but it looks more like ocre. Thank you!
I've really enjoyed watching your videos. I've been trying to loosen up my painting. I think my paint is part of my issue. It's not loose enough and so I find myself having to add oil which I don't particularly want to do. What brand of paint do you reccomend for a nice smooth buttery texture?
Usually cerulean blue, a touch of lemon yellow and white. It depends on what I see in the scene. It could be more violet so alizarin plus blue and white. Keep colors clean. Also too much white makes colors cold and lifeless. Color notes and relationships to other colors is all important.
@@MalcolmDewey thank you Sir. Well in my country, above blues are not available only ultramarine, cobalt and Prussian blue are. And besides I see many artists they say we maje every colour with: ultramarine blue, yellow, red and Brown, is it true? I hardly get good green with ultramarine and yellow mid or lemon.

Thank you so much 😀

Lovely to hear that Sheena, thank you
Just brilliant ! You certainly captured the light and shadows and all done so loosely and just blotchy brush strokes - love it 💜
Thank you 😊

Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Do you say your style is more of Impressionism?
Thank you, yes impressionist or painterly as it Is looser brushwork.
Does anyone ever look at their own abstract or impressionist art and go 'its wrong' but you see someone else's and you just respect their style
Yup 😊

I have not tried that approach. Interested to hear how it works for you though. Should be okay. Let me know.

Thank you. Yes it is mostly yellow ochre. There may be a touch of yellow lemon, but mostly ochre.

Thank you Gina. Excellent student paints like Maimeri Classico or Van Gogh by Royal Talens can be used direct from the tube.
What colours do you use for distant trees? 2 question:I have an issue. Sometimes distant trees seem dark other time light and dull
Usually cerulean blue, a touch of lemon yellow and white. It depends on what I see in the scene. It could be more violet so alizarin plus blue and white. Keep colors clean. Also too much white makes colors cold and lifeless. Color notes and relationships to other colors is all important.

@@sameehakhaliq8327 Cobalt is a cool blue so that will work. For the rest keep practicing. th-cam.com/video/e8pcCflg0Wg/w-d-xo.html
