New subscriber here! Taking up painting after 28 years as a paramedic. I just recently retired and I'm going to need a soothing hobby. Thanks for the channel. Looking forward to getting started.
Welcome! You couldn’t have picked a better teacher than Dianne Mize. You can learn a lot about how various media work, as well as how to approach a particular thing. For instance she has videos on clouds and trees and water, among other topics. Enjoy!
Have fun on the journey.
@@susannerauch8237 Thanks for the information. This is good to know. She seems very VERY good but there's a TON of painting videos on CZcams and right now I don't really know enough to make a decision on who is good and who shouldn't have a CZcams channel. :)
@@todds4101 I hear you! I checked out so many of them that it was finally just frustrating because of the epidemic of "shouldn't have a CZcams channel" syndromes. However, there are some who are very good, although they don't seem to be as much help with the nuts and bolts so to speak. I rely on Dianne for that, but she's not the only one I watch. It's good to get other perspectives.
Again, heartfelt thanks!🌷🇿🇦
Our pleasure!
I used a limited palette for the first time last night on 2 paintings and I think they’re my 2 best paintings so far!
I only used a green, blue, purple and a dark gray.
I mixed the purple and gray with a bit of blue for the rocks and it looked oh! So natural!❤
I’ve been looking for ways to do my color charts and I love this!!!
Keep enjoying the journey!
Thank you for doing this! It’s been on my mind so much. 😁
You're so welcome! Have fun with it.
Making color charts is a zen-like experience for me.
I can see that!
I have struggled with this some and this tip just turned the lights on. Thank you so much.I'm not confused anymore. I also appreciated the last tip, thanks dianne for all your help.
Have fun with it, Eve!
Hi Dianne, Thanks as always for a wonderful tutorial.
It's always a joy to share these.
What an amazing wealth of knowledge, Thanks Dianne!!
My pleasure! Have fun with it.
Thank you. Very helpful. I seem to never mix enough paint. I finally get the color I need and realize I need more. Sometimes I can’t get the exact color again. Any tips?
The smarty pants answer would be to start mixing more color, but the real answer is to learn to identify each of your tube colors according to their hues, then when mixing, do so from the appoach of what hue does to hue.
Thank you sooo much. I have struggled with colour for a long time and this really helped to simplify.
You're very welcome!
I have this book and strongly recommend it to anyone, is a bible for painting, bought on RS website.
It is, so far, unsurpassed.
It’s soooo expensive! Gotta ask for it for Ma birthday! Geez!!
Thanks Dianne. That was helpful. I have been studying and doing exercises out of the John Pototschnik book “Limited Palette Unlimited Color.”
Fun stuff.
I am so happy to see this video, I was just looking at this in Richard’s book and wanting to do the charts also. I didn’t know that you only add enough of the other color to still keep the original hue. Also, I was not looking forward to taping off squares….I like the way your example looks just with the brush and much easier! In the book, Richard mentions spraying with varnish after they dry, I guess they could fade over time? Thank you for this awesome video!
Ellen, the varnish Richard used on his charts after they tried was to protect them. Vanish over oil paint serves the same purpose as glass over works on paper--to protect them from dirt and other particles. Richard's paints are lightfast, so fading is never an issue.
Your videos are so helpful! Thank you!!
Keep enjoying the journey.
Thank you for the tip viridian and Ultramarine blue.
You bet!
Excellent topic, the charts are very informative.
Have fun!
I think this was very informative. I wonder if Bob Ross uses this color palette.
I seriously doubt it.
Thank you Dianne :)
My pleasure.
This was a great demonstration. I’ve been playing around with creating a mother color when I’m using a limited palette, and it made me question when do you decide to use a mother color vs when do you use the pure pigments and pure pigment mixes? Or would you consider the base pigments in the limited palette as a part of the range along with the colors adjusted with the mother mix.
Mother color simply means a color that all colors have in common. For example, if the painting is of a pumpkin patch, we might use a lot of greens and oranges, but the yellow present in both of them is the mother color that harmonizes them.
Loved this! Love mixing colours thank you for the method, will try it out
Hi Dianne, thanks. I see you clean your brushes and was wondering what kind of solvent do you use for that?
odorless mineral spirits, mainly Gamsol.
Great tip would it be possible for you to explain How you increase the value of each line? Thanks.
To make the value darker, you add a bit of dark of the same hue. To make it lighter, you add an increment of white.
Why not omit cad yellow dip when we can mix it. Thanks.
It works either way, Reza.
There's a channel called 'color nerd' that goes into way too much detail for anyone interested in that sort of thing.
