    This was amazing! I didn’t know that the shadow side had its own transition color, or rather, that the light into the shadow transition color could be two hues, I’m still processing 😂 I will save and re-watch this one. Thank you for making this video!!

    Great video and explanation. Such an important concept for all painters. I rely on neutral / muted color in my abstract paintings, and I think about them as "complex" colors versus "clear" bright colors. Combining the muted, complex colors with bright ones as you do here really can make a painting sing. Thanks for sharing the info!

    Life got in the way for me and haven't been able to watch this until today (Wed). As usual Ian, I marvel at your control over your brush, especially with long continuous strokes of one color. I'm afraid (with this lovely set up) I'd end up with a messy oval as I tried and tried to get those crisp edges. Love watching you paint, it's just so inspiring! Thank you Ian.

    I’ve watched this video twice already this morning. It is very helpful. I struggle with transition colors, either creating transitions too stark or too weak. I turned to studying Albers & Itten and looking closely at the work of artists for understanding. After watching this, I have a different and simpler understanding. Thank you for this and all of your videos.

    Thanks Ian, this was a literal out loud AHA moment!! I was struggling with creating some digital art backgrounds in a Procreate piece to be honest and just cold not figure out what was wrong and this literally solved my problem. Who knew transition colours made SO much difference. I have taken a lot of art classes and this is the first time this has been explained and demonstrated so well, and even though I don't use oils your demo was so relevant. I really appreciate your time and energy in making these videos for us.

    My question is a bit different. I found a youtube video on the Apelles Palette, or Zorn palette. What do you think of it for landscapes? I see alot for portraits and none on landscapes.

    • @IanRobertsMasteringComposition
      @IanRobertsMasteringComposition  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi Rosemarie, the Zorn palette is for portraits. If you look at Zorn's paintings of the landscape he is obviously using all kinds of other colors. Even if portraits if he needs a hit of color for a piece of cloth say he uses whatever he needs. The Zorn palette is a way of simplifying flesh tones. That is its function.

    By "intensity", do you mean to say that the transition color is more saturated?

      Yes exactly. Intensity, saturation and chroma are all synonymous.
