The value of creating a gray scale

I believe many beginning, even more advanced artists, believe it is a frivolous, unnecessary exercise to create a gray scale. Even though the title is a play on words, the true meaning is real. What I have learned from years of teaching is that many can't create a gray scale, and when they do try, they realize just how difficult it is. Being able to discern and create a nice clear, separation o...

    A very helpful video, John. Thank you. I am enjoying diving into your videos at the moment. Alas your book / stream package totals almost $400 in Australian money. Well worth it I'm sure but I'll have to sell a few paintings before I can spring for it. In the meantime these examples are gold. Ta!

    So you have to mix 16 tubes on your palette before knowing which to use. So much for limitation. Nice paintings though not with just the same 3 primaries.

    • @johnpototschnik8857
      @johnpototschnik8857 Před 2 dny

      The video was made for those who have never used a limited palette...not for experienced painters who know what certain colors and color mixtures will yield. Once you've done the work here and created color wheels for each, It's very simple from that point to select the appropriate 3 color palette. Yes, my paintings are generally done using just three primaries.

    Clear, concise and true. What more could one ask for? I do think that it is absurd when people think a large painting is worth more than a small one. Ever see an original Vermeer? Or The Mona Lisa?

      @johnpototschnik8857 Před 3 měsíci

      Consider also that I am speaking of how the artist sets the price, not how history determines a painting's value. I'm sure Vermeer and Leonardo priced "Girl With a Pearl Earring", and the "Mona Lisa" at very similar prices to their other work of the time. Only history has set them apart.

    I never had much desire for painting. I used to do lots of pencil drawing and some pen and ink. I didn't do much artwork for years until my daughter showed some interest. I did a few things for her that she wanted, fairies and things. I was very surprised to see many of the things I did for her go with her to college!! Things I did for her and some things I just did as exercises. She took a page of Sheridan style floral patterns I did as practice for leather work. I started getting some interest in paint and managed to mix up some mud with some old watercolors laying around. Since then I have explored mixing and split primary palette. I had made some notes for paints I want to buy based on a Winsor & Newton color chart. I found 6 of them here...Lemon Yellow - Cad Y lite - Ult blue - Cobalt Blue - Alizarin Red - Cad Red. I have my white and black chosen and was going to get three more - Yellow Ocre - Raw and Burnt Umber. Your vid confirmed my choices. Very informative and thanks so much for this - your paintings are amazing!

    I spent a year trying to figure out which colours and type of paints to use to finally get to where you point to in a single video. I’m using acrylic but wanted some of the working time of oil so I went with the golden open line and have pruned myself down to a handful of primaries with a focus on three main ones. In hindsight my reasons for not choosing oil were not accurate but at this point I’m happy with the open line.

    • @johnpototschnik8857
      @johnpototschnik8857 Před 7 měsíci

      I went through the same thing early in my career, Jeff. Oils were just too messy, too much trouble, but when I switched from acrylic to oil, it was like I found the perfect medium for my temperament. Periodically, I'll use golden open acrylics today for small studies. I like them OK but they don't have the body of oil paint.

    Hello John. I bought both your limited palette book and video combo as well as your "Painting Values & Color" video. Which one should I watch first?

    • @johnpototschnik8857
      @johnpototschnik8857 Před 8 měsíci

      First off, thanks so much for purchasing the book and DVDs. I'm not sure if you have "Limited Palette Landscapes", that was my first DVD. It's shows my whole painting process from start to finish. If you have that one, I would begin with that. If you don't, then begin with "Create Unlimited Color with a Limited Palette". The book is a supplement to this video; it takes what was taught in the video and expands on it verbally and visually, plus it is a workbook that has projects. Watch "Painting Values and Color" last. It is somewhat like "Limited Palette Landscapes" but with a different subject, different palette, and not quite as in depth. It is only four hours compared to the 15 hour "Limited Palette Landscapes." Hope this helps. Would love for you to write a review after viewing. Thank you.
