    One tip that really helps me break things up is to see things in shapes rather than as the objects they are. A tree might be a series of triangles (one for each value) for instance. This works really well for landscapes and faces. Instead of seeing mountains and trees or a coast with cliffs, I try to see the shapes that values take. It pulls me away from the details of the object.

    Fabulous tips! My favorites: Squint, stand, “think like an artist” and teach yourself to see things differently!

  • @TJ-zn4et
    @TJ-zn4et 3 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    My favourite tip was less paint for a smoother background. It makes sense. Least favorite was giving myself a short time limit. I think I would end up with a big mess! Thanks for your inspiration. You are definitely the most inspiring artist on you tube. You make me want to paint.

    Favorite tips: big brushes, time limit, squint, and stand up, stand back :-)
    Thanks so much! Love this tips list! As a beginner, I am needy for all tips and info :-) jokingly kinda said to a friend I am making things blurry like seeing without my glasses on 😁 that idea makes it easier for me to make marks with paint cuz fuzzy unclear is fine 😱💕thanks for your help!

  • @casperthegm741
    @casperthegm741 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Up until now I've largely focused on realism, borderline hyper-realism, so these tips are a huge help. I'll probably add one more tip for those like me. Watch a couple of useful videos like this one, but then get on with it and start practicing. I've often been too caught up in getting every possible tip before starting, that I never get started before the day is actually over.

  • @sofialima4521

    Taking breaks from the reference can help too! I never tried painting so far away from the canvas, now I just *have* to try it out! Thank you for sharing 🖤✨

  • @julievictoria4526
    @julievictoria4526 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I love standing to paint (although it becomes tiresome) but once I get into the movement of the painting, it works so much better than sitting! Focusing on the basic shapes and base colours of the subject/reference photo also really helps to ignore the details if you're trying impressionism or abstract. And then building on the colours, so that you still get a layer effect and texture will make the painting look interesting and professional, without going into the fine details of what you're painting. Thank you Katie for your tips! Cheers :)

    Yes on squinting! I havnt even begun my journey into Impressionism… although I’ve been a sketch artist for years… but that’s the first thing I thought of that would help me get the vagueness just right. I always squint at finished impressionist paintings. It’s so fun to see it come to life as your brain fills in the blanks

      Squinting, ref photo far away (I majorly get hung up on details), grip the brush nearer the end, focus on values. Going to try some plein air soon, am near-sighted so I could try taking off my glasses, really excited to use my near-sightedness as a useful tool 😂

I watched your huge Peonies picture first... where you just put in colors and then outlining with whiter color highlighting brought it all together! Fantastic... wish you lived closer!

    Great advice. I’m just a hobby painter and not a very good one at that. But I enjoy it. But it’s true about when you’re talking to someone and you’re thinking about how to paint the building behind them etc. I look at things differently now since i started. How the sun hits a hillside or wispy clouds vs big fluffy clouds. I definitely try to paint realistic even when I try not to. Very irritating.
