you probably dont care but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot the password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Zyaire Max I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Thank you Dianne for all these great painting tips! You get right into the demonstration and clearly show the techniques, which are easy to understand and follow. The best videos on CZcams for understanding basics and beyond of oil painting!
Thank you so much for one of the most wonderful learning moments I have had in over 7 years. You are an amazing teacher! The method you presented using the small window and the extra piece to compare and match colors was fantastic. Thanks again.
What a wonderful tutorial. I have watched this before but frequently revisiting your lessons feels like “coming home”. And I remember feeling the familiarity from your previous and always come away with something new - It doesn’t matter how many times I watch, there is always something new! Thank you for sharing your time and amazing talent.
every single day I come to you tube to watch you teach me something! You're great! I'm retired and have always painted but you make me see painting from a true artist's perspective.
Wow! You’re a wonderful teacher. I’m looking forward to watching everything you have done. Just looked at your website and your paintings are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gift.
I love this tutorial! I adore Sargent's work and to get a glimpse into his way of using colour is such a treat. The way he painted light is just breathtaking but Dianne's eagle eye unravels the mystery! Just wonderful and so inspiring!
Ms. Mize, this is exactly what I have been practicing lately. It is the only way to capture what you believe you see! our eyes are deceiving when it comes to color matching! You are a wonderful teacher!
Well, it's just seing and matching a color, dont you think? I mean I thought she was going to analise or explain why he used those colours or why they work as they do
Ive been working through all the quick tips. I still have a heap to go but I am going to begin your video lessons this week. Best wishes. You are a talented and generous teacher. I think it is your husband who tapes these videos and I want to say thank you to him too. I feel so blessed that I found your channel. I was so stuck with my painting and your instructions and encouragement have built my tool kit and skill set so much. I feel like I have a solid direction in my art and my art education. God bless.
Thanks, Marietta. I am delighted you are finding my teaching helpful. Actually, Roger is not my husband, but a longtime friend and business partner. His wife, Kathy, is our biggest fan.
Your quick tips are very precious lessons to me. I started a year ago with painting. Now I'm 65 and with every lesson from you I discover more and more painting secrets and I'm afraid I started much too late to reach a satisfying level of painting skills. Anyhow, thanks a lot for your great tips.
You NEVER start too late. What matters is the lift your receive from each painting your do. Don't fret about reaching a satisfying level of painting skills. Just enjoy the journey!
Many thanks for taking the time to answer my worries. And I realized you are right - the journey is often more exciting than the arrival. Have a great day!
I'm just in the middle of my room, in the dark.. making studies as I practice aside, thinking if it is worth it, finding this is so helpful and cheering.. great teaching.. great study thank you a lot!, cheers from México..
Excellent video, very insightful. Sargeant himself is known to have made some large copies of Valasquez' paintings. He was also known to have spent a lot of time mixing the paint on his pallet and compairing the colors to his subject ( compared to the amount of time working on the canvas).
I am learning so much from your videos, they are always full of pertinent information and inparted in a clear and concise manner, thank you. I don't paint in oils because of allergies. While watching I am envious of the value lines of the colours. Are there any tricks for doing something like to this in acrylics and watercolors?
If you have a way to keep your acrylics wet on the palette, you can make it work. Watercolor is a different story since we use water to make colors lighter.
Just noticed that you're using Singer Sargent's "Oyster Catchers" painting. It's a fascinating painting. It's got that WOW factor as soon as you see it - WOW ! Sargent was a brilliant artist, no doubt about it. I liked it so much I made my own copy of it in acrylic paint. It's come out quite well. It's not easy to copy that's for sure. When I'm working with acrylic here in Thailand the very hot climate dries my paint in less than ten minutes after it goes on the canvass. I can't spend any time producing a line of tints because they dry far too fast. Yes, I know about the retardent, but it's always a struggle to work quickly enough to get the job done. If I spent ten minutes matching one tiny area of a painting 700 x 500 mm I'd be working on it for the next thirty years. As it was it took me about three weeks. In order to match my colours I painted a piece of card mid grey and then covered it up with transparent cellophane. I then paint the cellophane and place that right next to the painting. The neutral grey of the card help me to see more accurately the colour. White obviously is OK, but I find grey is better for me. When I've filled up all around the edge of the cellophane I simply replace it with a new piece of cellophane Have a quick look at my copy of the "Oyster Catchers" and give me your opinion. I'd be very grateful - www.100temptations.com/copy-of-wtf-01-with-video-4 Kind regards - Chris in Thailand
Did you know that Sargent did two versions of The Oyster Gathers? That aside, unless we are looking at the painting itself, it's difficult to see exactly what Sargent has done with the colors. Differences in computer monitors and in pixels interpreting reality often will give us distortions of what Sargent did. What we do know, though, is that among other things, he was playing with juxtaposing close values of warm and cool neutralized hues, and we can see how he merges the edges of his figures. I congratulate your tackling a complex subject. And since you asked, go back to it and turn both your study and the resource photo upside down and explore Sargent's handling of all edges, most especially all the broke edges of color of the beach and clouds in the sky. It's not just his arrangement of people, but what he's done to the environment around them that makes this painting intriguing.
Hi Dianne great video. Can you tell me why your palette was a swatch using Alizarin Crimson and not Cadmium Red? I want to use a limited palette and cant decide. Thanks
Diane i love your tutorial lessons. So practical and on the money. I have a problem with this one though. Its reliant on a printed reproduction that you put on yoyr easel. How do you know if the Print is true to the painting? Most pribts i get are not exact. Many times quite a way off. So yoyr copying a colour that may well be wrong. Have you found a eay to overcome this? Cheers.
Peter, you are right. There is also the problem of monitors varying so much in their output of color and contrast. I try to choose a reproduction as close as possible to what I know the colors to be, then the rest is a toss-up.
Fantastic Dianne! Could you please suggest which one of your courses would be a great place to begin landscape painting? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Mona
Mona, all my courses are more focused on the composing process rather than subject-specific, but perhaps either the mini-course called Creating Distance, or the individual lessons under the Creating Distance Series would be a good place to start.
Dear Dianne your enthusiasm and verve have recharged and inspired me. I'm so glad I met you! Where can I sign up for classes? I'd love to see a Quick Tip on how to mix realistic skin tones and/or apply shadows to skin (and learn which colors to use for that). I'm struggling with that currently so I'd love your advice. Your fan in Toronto, Nina
Thanks for that, Nina. Eventually, we will be doing live classes on line. Til then, you can find hour-long tutorials for download ($7 each) or on DVD ($10,95 each) at diannemize.com/ . The titles and descriptions guide you as to the principle each tutorial is teaching.

It is not necessary to use complementary colors to grey-out colors that are too chromatic. One can use ,,, ta ta! ... gray. Use opaque gray of the correct value, and you cannot go wrong.
Thanks again for your input. You are correct: mixing complementary colors is not necessary for reducing intensity or decreasing saturation of hues, but to do so allows the possibility of leaning neutrals slightly cooler or warmer while painting whereas a single gray gives a single option.
Thanks for sharing this link. Keep in mind that there is an entire library of research about Sargent's method of working. His method, like all masters, was an evolving process. May I also recommend the book, JOHN SINGER SARGENT by Carter Ratcliff along with works listed it his bibliography.
Great lesson. People often wonder: "who could possibly vote this down". Well maybe a a few over amped scholars, but really, it is just random movements of the cursor that trigger a mistaken thumbs down.
I love your instruction, but this particular video maybe needed to zoom into the subject a lot further. It was way too small for me to see what you were matching.
Cannot see the sparkle because the videographer is not going in close enough for the audience to see what you are trying to point out. he or she needs to think more about the audience viewing the video from perhaps an IPad or small laptop. Enjoy your teaching very much.
I've never seen ANYONE like you on CZcams. I feel like I'm one on one with my very own teacher. You are such a treasure!!!
Wow, thanks so much!
What a great teacher. Passion for her subject, an eye for detail and a genuine interest in conveying information. Bravo, Dianne.
Thanks.

Yes, Dianne, a huge thank you for this lesson! You are a wonderful teacher.
Thanks. I love being a teacher as much as I love being an artist.
I loved this quick tip. I’m always interested in getting the right color/value. Thank you for the help you give so many of us.

There's no doubt that his work is ingenious.
What a pleasure to watch. All the tips are priceless. Any knowlegde imparted is a treasure for any artist who have a desire for painting. Thankyou
Thank YOU.
Ms. Mize, this is exactly what I have been practicing lately. It is the only way to capture what you believe you see! our eyes are deceiving when it comes to color matching! You are a wonderful teacher!
Thank you, Jimmie. Enjoy the journey!
That's the best explanation (and maybe the only) of Sargent's colorization. Thank you!
Great!
Well, it's just seing and matching a color, dont you think? I mean I thought she was going to analise or explain why he used those colours or why they work as they do
Tomas Venditti She did
Love the tip of matching the value before modifying the hue. The post-it glue to keep the isolator in place is so simple and really will help!
It is such a simple correction in procedure, yet eliminates a lot of frustration while mixing color.
That was also my favorite tip ! So great
WOW this has to be one of the most wholesome channel I've ever found on youtube.
Thanks so much!
Thank you Diane! Your instruction made my day better！
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching.
Wonderful technique. Thanks for posting this Dianne!
My pleasure.

Love this demo, you are generous with your visions and methods. Thanks from the little old budding artiste

Perhaps all that mixing is one reason his paintings work so well, especially his use of color.

Love all of your quick tips and especially this one. How did you make the square paper sticky?
Restickable post-it glue will do the job.
Great tip! Thank you.
My pleasure, Sara.
Excellent explanation. Love your classes, I am learning a lot from you. Thank you!
Thanks, Luz.
Very nice instructions.
Thank you so much.
Very helpful with using limited colours. Thank you
Good. And Thanks for watching.
Great advice. Thank you.
My pleasure.
I feel a strong rush of ecstasy as I m watching this lady I wish to live at least one week with her 🌿🌿🌱🌱
Thanks.
never knew about the colour wheel/grey info - thanks!
Have fun with it.
...apparently 54 people stuck around just to give a thumbs down to this wonderful video... must be finger painters
There will always be thumbs down. These keep us alert, but I don't take them seriously unless they can give me specific objections.
Hi Dianne great video. Can you tell me why your palette was a swatch using Alizarin Crimson and not Cadmium Red? I want to use a limited palette and cant decide. Thanks
Hans, for this study, I needed a red that comes out of the tube a dark value. That's why I chose alizarin crimson for this study.
Thanks

thankyou very much that was very informative. Great to hear the inner painters monologue articulated; 'Aha!' 'Think thats pure white? Betcha not!'
Pure white never is :).
Good one
Muy buenos tips. Felicitaciones
Gracias por subscibing a En la instrucción del arte del studio.
Do you perhaps have a tip on painting beach sand and dunes ?
I'll put that one on the schedule. Meanwhile, look for warms and cools in the same value range.
I like Sargent Painting too !!!
Amazing !
Thanks!
Brilliant
Amezing lesson
Thankyou so much ❤️
My pleasure 😊
I would love a quick tip on painting fire.
Fire! Wow, that's a good one. I'll put it on our schedule.
can you rest your paint like this on your palette ? I'm just asking my self when looking at all your colours sitting on site...
Check out Quick Tip 115 and see if it answers your question.
Dear Dianne your enthusiasm and verve have recharged and inspired me. I'm so glad I met you! Where can I sign up for classes?
I'd love to see a Quick Tip on how to mix realistic skin tones and/or apply shadows to skin (and learn which colors to use for that). I'm struggling with that currently so I'd love your advice.

Это очень приятно.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thanks You.!
My pleasure.
I would go to your art classes. I need more friends like you
Enjoy the journey!
Wonderful idea. This could be adapted to other artists’ paintings.
A good way to study artists is to analyze what they are doing rather than simply copy their work.
Bless you...
Thanks!.
10:15 "ahhaa..." sound was great :))
😊
Im sure this has been asked a million time before, but how do Dianne's paints not dry out in that box?
I explain that in Quick Tip 115.
He was a wonderful painter.
I agree.
Awesome
Thanks
Wonderful instruction- thank you. The framing of the shots was so frustrating but thank you anyway
Thanks for watching.
What a woman. Respect.
Thanks!
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Big love from Sea Point, Cape Town. For the love of art. Artist to artist
using a midtone grey card rather than white card would make it easier to judge the value - like the grey tone of your palette
True, both work.
...3 years later...
It's now that counts...
Sargent's methods are on record. keenewilson.com/page/2947/john-singer-sargents-painting-techniques One thing he never did with oils was to mix paint on the canvas. If he got a touch wrong, he wiped it off and did it again. It is said that once when he was painting a commissioned portrait, he scraped and wiped out the face 30 times before he eventually got it all in one _premier coup_ go at it.

wish she could have zoomed in to actually see the hues of sargent's painting.
Noted.
That's a painting lesson!
Right! Give it a try.
cameraman must learn to zoom
Great lesson. People often wonder: "who could possibly vote this down". Well maybe a a few over amped scholars, but really, it is just random movements of the cursor that trigger a mistaken thumbs down.
One thing we accept when doing these Quick Tips is that there WILL be some thumbs down. And that's okay, too.
Mire a mi y expongo lo sigiente a sobre de CREASION o pintor copista
Mmmm. I'm not sure what you're saying here.
我有困難也没有問过你拿
?
I love your instruction, but this particular video maybe needed to zoom into the subject a lot further. It was way too small for me to see what you were matching.
Sorry about that. Perhaps watch on a larger screen?
tell the camera guy to zoom in to the canvas...CAN'T SEE ANYTHING!!!!
Noted
Cannot see the sparkle because the videographer is not going in close enough for the audience to see what you are trying to point out. he or she needs to think more about the audience viewing the video from perhaps an IPad or small laptop. Enjoy your teaching very much.
When we filmed these earlier videos, most folks were watching from larger screens. You will notice that our most current ones have more closeup shots.
