Texture gives the eye a sense of realism, that is very true.
Amazing. Carder uploads vital pieces of artistic experience directly into our brains. We should all be grateful.
Absolutely. The best instructor on CZcams. He’s educating tomorrow’s masters.
@@TheNortheastAl Exactly -- his style/methods may not be for everyone, but they are the a great way to evaluate and improve your oil technique what ever it is. It' really a gift.
Thank you for your excellent videos. They have helped so many of us immensely.
Great video. If that room your sitting in is real and not a filter, you are a lucky man. It's gorgeous...Thanks so much.
Yeah, I think he's been pretty successful. He had a successful portrait business, then transitioned to making art materials. Smart moves by him.
its a filter
Green screen
It’s real
He painted it
Great lesson Mark, and good timing1 I really needed that reminder.
Great lesson. Thank you!
Thank you for the great tips. When Draw Mix Paint drops a new video it makes my day :) Cheers from St. Louis, MO. -Andrew
Im so glad that you are offering these videos again. Thank You Jim
whos jim lol
This was incredibly helpful. This seems like such a small thing. And while it actually is small, the implications are huge! Thank you!
Wow! Thanks for being very clear and direct explaining the more abstract we paint the more realistic.. I can resume... Specially this days when I'm practicing plea air oil painting... simplifying is extremely necessary when looking for a very realistic style.. Greetings from San Miguel de Allende... where the sunsets are always gorgeous and deserving to be painted!! Thanks for sharing all your helpful art content! Wishing you all the best master!!
Great video, yet again. I was just thinking about this concept from you this morning, and then you posted about it again. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video! I love the reminder of the need for abstraction in painting! I tend to fall into too much detail. I watch your videos frequently for a reminder that the abstraction is important! 😊
Thanks Mark.
Loved the horse decoration piece in Edgar painting
Thanks as always. I just can't wait for that never dry palette!
Mark, another great conversation, challenging as always
Thank you for an excellent lesson. I never knew about abstract brush strokes. Can’t wait to try it out!
Again, I've learned over the years, to feel deep gratitude for your channel and teachings. Thank you 👏
You teaching is so informative. I realize as a beginner I try too hard to copy every detail. It helps to see the examples of what you mean as you describe it. Thank you
Also do you have a list of people interested in your palate keeper? I would love to know exactly when it’s available.
Excellent demonstration! Thanks for the advice
Informative and a reminder of things I have failed to do as much as I should. I always come away with something from your videos. You never over complicate good advice. Thanks Mark. 😊
Thank you very much for all the content and help of your videos.. I appreciate each one of them :)
the over simplification point has resonated with me... It's something that I have been guilty of and this video has been very helpful... thank you...
Exactly Mark along with the brush work, a bit of Palette Knife looks great and has depth and gives "THAT" painting look! Oil painting!
Thanks for your input Mark. You are a great help to all artists.
Great video. That's the way I love to paint. A gentle brushwork with touch of texture and no direct blending.
Helpful and entertaining
Mark...i thanked you many many times....thank you 🙏
Thank you for this excellent video!!
Subbed. Concise, effective teaching. Thank you
Great 👏 Always fun to look at master paintings. So much to learn.
Wow ... talk about helpful.. a lot of information and inspiration in under eight minutes.
Really helpful, thank you!
Very helpful… thank you!
Great video! Thank you.
Thabk you for sharing your knowledge Master
Loved the grapes painting Mark
Awesome vid, thanks so much
Excelent videos. You are the best
Excellent video.
Thank you!
Very helpful thanks
Looking forward to your never dry pallet box.
Do the hokey pokey !!
Thanks for the video! I dont see in the web site the box that you say (where the oil dont dry)
Does Mark Carder not do glazing? Never see him mention it in his videos.
He doesn't. Just gets the values and colors correct on one layer.
I still don’t understand why all the extra work to glaze if you can put the correct color down in the right place first.
Could you please make a video on what you like about the brushwork of Rothko?
I though he used a roller
@@clownpocket A "postmodern" roller ? 😆
Helen Van Wyk from ‘Welcome to my studio’ would call blendy blendy, ‘Dipseedo’…. She used it often. 🤣🤣😀😀
The important thing is to communicate the character of the thing you are painting.
Im not lucky enough to have any teachers near me, or privy enough to know any online courses or youtube video lessons for my specific ask.
Do you have any advice on how to learn through either thought process, or lessons you can recommend that help build a good artist instinct on where to draw the line between oversimplifying and verbatim copying when it comes to making the pre-paint sketching?
Mark...i use triple primed canvas but still my oul painting look duller at the end...initially look vibrant..why ? How many coats of gesso are recommended?
after a certain amount of paint is laid on top of it, the light reflecting from the gesso will stop shining through no matter how many coats you have.
@@bEoNslenDeralert how many coats do u recommend?
I find myself trying to get what you’re talking about by changing the way I hold the brush. Sometimes like a pencil. sometimes overhand (& loose), sometimes like a brush. Am I wrong?
Wow! How can you say your way is the only correct way. I was taught that there are no rules.
After you spend years mastering the rules….then… there are no rules. You have been misinformed.
Your rude reply confirms my point!
Can you tell us more about that "never dry pallete" you´ve been mentioning in the last videos? I´m really intrigued and I´m just looking for something like that to make my paint last longer, specially beacuse I don´t always have as much time as I´d like to paint in a regular week.
I will a make a video soon explaining how it works, but it works because the air inside the sealed palette box is saturated with clove oil. The box will hold two large palettes.
I tend to overstate detail.
The eye wanders randomly over a scumble and interprets it thus, so painting the scumble without order takes the orderliness out of the process of being too careful and smooth. We are trying to paint something that looks different every time we look at it, so a scumble paradoxically having random (messy) 'information' forces us to see it in new ways as opposed to seeing the same 'limited' information that a smooth edge delivers. By not being able to delineate clearly, we liberate the viewer and arrive at a fresh observation each time because the random information can be seen in unlimited ways and delivering the perception of newness in each moment, helping the viewer bond with the work.
This is more of preference and style yes? Visible brushstrokes and surface texture isn't better than smooth blending.
The very early masters try to eliminate brushstrokes and paint texture. Jan van Eyck, one the very first to master oil paints works very blendy. Mona Lisa is another example where the painting is very blendy, extremely smooth and brush strokes are invisible. That is true to almost all Leonardo's paintings and most of the artist in that time. But no one, especially you, are going to say the Jan van Eyck and Leonardo's brushstrokes are bad. It is just the style they work in.
There are even some modern artist that works very blendy as you put it. René Magritte, Salvador Dalí, Grant Wood and Georgia O'Keeffe are the few that comes to mind. And they do work realistically even if they don't treat their subject in the classical manner.
And you seem to be confusing "Texture" with "Broken Colors" and even "Pattern" specially in the sky example.
This really comes to preference and style. Maybe blendy just does not work for you, or you can't make it work, or it is just not the look you like; and that is fine. And while I do like abstract too, I don't see it as any better or worse than blendy or poky. They are all capable of making great works in the right hands.
It always comes down to your preference, what do you like to see. I especially don't like rules, there are many ways to achieve a good result. The most important thing remains your subject.
Pokey twisty rolly. No pokey pokey blendy blendy.
blending with "abstract" brush strokes is far more natural looking. The texture just makes it look far more "organic" and less sterile.
In my opinion, I disagree. I've been painting for 30 years and I find it better to have a smooth pattern.
I paint in the bouguereau style. I do know the brush strokes are visible up close but,yet it still looks like a smooth finish. I can't stand the abstract art. It just drives me insane. All in my opinion!!!! Absolutely love the videos and people can and will learn a lot from you. No doubt!!!!!
If you look at Sott Waddel's videos, he says 'blend' as much as possible. Difficult for novice artists
Great video! Short and to the point. But, why did you have to use an AI generated background? That represents the complete opposite of what you are trying to communicate and teach.
At the begin of the video you tell that the texture should not reproduce the subject texture. Then you end the explanation giving the opposite message: you should use abstract texture that are similar to subject complexities...
Sorry for the confusion. Similar from 7 feet away or more, but not verbatim. Up close the surface texture can be anything, but from seven feet away the general patterns you see should be similar to source.
@@DrawMixPaintthanks for clarifying the point
'That's a man baby!' - Austin Powers
I just slap the shit out of what ever surface I'm painting
This guy hate blending
Good stuff Mark!
