What a great teacher you are Dianne. You have such a wonderfully simple and logical way of describing things. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.
Another quick tip which is colour inspiring...you explain well scientifically without rules giving freedom to create well.....thanks for being the best teacher ever with so much sincerity and knowledge. Love and God bless!
Wild Flower, all my courses and hour-long lessons focus on the art elements and principles that make them work. Go to diannemize.com to get the full scoop. Also, my book, Finding Freedom to Create available on Amazon, spells them out for you.
Great painting demo, I too come from Ontario but reside in Newfoundland. I bought your Book Mastering Composition and then saw your You Tube channel, nice companions. Thanks for the demo.
I always enjoy your Quick Tips and could not resist sharing a Tweet for this one on Color Harmony! There's a pin link on my related board on Pinterest too. You're the best!
thank you Diane an excellent clear ! tutorial as ALWAYS. something that has always had me curious watching your videos is the full lush palette laid out. my questions are what is your management ...do you keeping adding fresh on top or you use it so regularly that you can replenish often so not a problem with life span... do you cover/seal when not in use many thanks
Rules and formulas are NOT what I signed up for when I decided to start painting. I think that's why the likes of Van Gogh exite me so much; he applied the fundamentals - sure, but he took them to a whole new level Obviously I'd NEVER attempt to mimic him, but Van Gogh has always been a beacon of light to me. I would have loved to have met him. I like to reach a comprise with my work. I'll block in as is, follow what I see up to a point, but I'll take a Monet style approach and break my strokes, move things around, sneak a few extra colours in and play with compliments. (Yellow flower with a purple cast shadow, for instance.) If I paint tight and realistic I just feel depressed about it. It's not art to me. I feel like formulas are designed to create cults and make money. Even if I respect certain individuals highly (a well known TH-camr with a paint line for one) I would never want to be a carbon copy of them. Seriously, what's the point in that? As you can probably tell, this has been on my mind for a while. 😂
My take on formulas is that they block the artist from discovering possibilities, however learning a process for yielding predictable results can be also a route for open-ended discovery. Van Gogh knew what his colors would do.
This is wonderful information Dianne, thank you. The last example you give, sequence of selection, could you have chosen a different green, or did it have to be the yellow green? Why or why not? Also, would you use the complimentary colors of that green and blue actually in the painting, or just as a color to work with desaturating the blue and green? 👩🏻🎨🙂
Sue, every principle I show in these Quick Tips can be used in painting. I could have chosen any color on the color wheel and follow the same sequence. The principles of color mixing are the same, regardless of the colors we are using. When we learn to use the color wheel as a thinking tool for making mixing decisions, we are able to mix any color we need.
7/1/2021 USA Grandpa Bill: Dear Mother Color, thank you ever so much for knowing I have "cousin" colors! I feel so associated now, so social, that I feel I can proceed with better accomplishment. No longer is my heart stiffened by the scientific nomenclature but freed by the relatives of the family. Bless you. Really. That little slip of the tongue, or whatever, really has made me relax some;.
very helpful Dianne! Just purchased a few of your Series lessons. Are these suppose to be completed in numerical order? I would like to purchase more. It seems like I should be taking the color series first? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)
Mona, I designed the Series lessons so that people could pick and choose a Series according to what they need, so there is no particular order, except that when people ask, I recommend they begin with Series 1 just to get the feel of my teaching. Following up Series 1 with Series 2 is not a bad idea, but beyond that, pick according to what you need.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction thank you Dianne! I'm finding each one very helpful and I learn something new with each lesson. Wish I would have discovered you several years ago! Better late than never :)
Cyan is a green blue so has in it some green which will somewhat neuralize a red, depending upon in which hue bias the red leans. If the red is a red orange, they there will be more neutralization.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction yes its slightly on the orange but mostly pure red. Thank you for your answer. It's usually hard for me to enjoy complimentary colors. They seem opposite to complimenting them in my opinion
You are correct - cyan is the visual complementary of red. People have to understand that when two pigments neutralize each other physically, it doesn't mean that their colors are amplifying and complementing each other visually. Unfortunatly, I don't know any color wheel (other than a self-made one) representing color intervals accurately. Consonances are actually 90° and 180° for equal brightness (brightness has an effect as well). You can see in the color wheel shown in the video that the wheel is visually non-linear - there are some regions, where there is very little hue change from step to step (e.g. between "red" and "yellow-orange" - the difference is mostly in brightness), while in other regions, there are quite some jumps between neighboring colors (e.g. between red-violet and violet). As a result, color intervals are only very approximate.
Thank you for making this channel. Your way of teaching is so pleasing, straight to the point and easy to comprehend. ♥
Thanks. It's a pleasure doing these.
Color is huge and your tips make it easier to understand. Painting is a life long journey! Thank you Diannne😀

To me, Red and cyan feel like a better fit than red and green. What is this relationship if any?
Cyan is a green blue so has in it some green which will somewhat neuralize a red, depending upon in which hue bias the red leans. If the red is a red orange, they there will be more neutralization.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction yes its slightly on the orange but mostly pure red. Thank you for your answer. It's usually hard for me to enjoy complimentary colors. They seem opposite to complimenting them in my opinion
