This lesson gets us off to a great start. Also good to know: which colors to pick for your palette and why. Know the color wheel to find the complements. Know the bias in each color (tube), temperature and value. Color mixing can take you down a very deep rabbit hole filled with frustration and elation. I always love hearing about color mixes I've never thought to try in my paintings. Thank you for this neat idea of using a sheet of glass to make our color mixing easier.
Would you please do a lesson covering your beautiful little cottages behind you. Reminds me of Cape Town's old D6. I used to live near Kloof Nek when lived in SA. Now living in NZ.
fab idea and tip, will defo do both of these tips in my future colour palette choices and write down the mixes onto the print from Malcolm glass tip. We learn so much from each other and I thank u both for sharing your knowledge. Alli X
Can I ask you about the fat over lean rule, does it still apply if the painting you're putting another layer on is quite old , maybe a few years and completely dry or does it only apply if the underneath layer is still drying?

Did that in my live class. I will keep it in mind for the future.
Art Buddha!
It might be interesting to make a mono print of the result by pressing paper onto it.
Great idea!

Beautiful. Could we please have the reference photo so we can practice? Thank you.
Thanks. For the best results, I suggest using one of your personal photos. The connection with a familiar scene is important for learning too.
This good, Malcolm, thanks. I’m having a bit of a challenge when it comes to arriving at the proper value for colors in a landscape. Any advice?

Can I ask you about the fat over lean rule, does it still apply if the painting you're putting another layer on is quite old , maybe a few years and completely dry or does it only apply if the underneath layer is still drying?
Only if it is drying. Then there is a risk of cracking in top layers that are dry while the thick layers underneath are still drying.
