I’ll bet your momma is actually tickled pink her tea cart is part of your daily creations and she’s happy to be following along😇 I’m gobbling up your very generous videos, bless you for sharing
I spent five years at art college hoping someone could teach me techniques like these but it never happened and as you know it takes serious time to self teach so I am very grateful to have found your channel, it will add depth to my work, Thank you, Wills
That's great, Wills! Really pleased to hear that, though it's also rather sad too, isn't it? I had to find out a lot myself as well, so I'm happy to help!
@@PaintingSkies1 wonderful! I saw your coastal painting, I guess it's the Dutch coast and we brought up our children on the Norfolk coast across the way, it brought back many memories, lovely painting, Wills
Because oil painting is a very complex process and back in the day you had to get hands on approaches, and learn in guild workshops how to exactly mix portions of paint and layer them exactly, modern art schools are very theoretical and not hands on most of the time.
@@somerandomname3124 (tl:dr- the first paragraph explains the gist) see that is just the thing, people make it out to seem like its a very complex process when in reality its just painting what you see. There in lies the problem, we mainly have not learned how to properly "see" and I'm not speaking of any handicap that some may unfortunately possess; because even someone color blind can paint a beautiful picture based purely on values alone. So I would go as far as to say that you're mistaken in saying schools don't teach you some essential qualities. As most teach you the at least the basics like values, lights and shadows, shape and form etc. They may not teach you oil painting specifically but those aforementioned skills are used in all media, and not only oil painting. Indeed oil painting is not an easy subject to master and most dont ever really master it in the end however it's far from a complex concept, so much so that an ordinary person cannot attain the skill. I mean we're not talking about biochemistry, partical physics or quantum computing here. If someone like Bob Ross(and i say this very lightly so..) can inspire generations of new painters then it can't all be that complex to learn the deeper aspects of putting paint on a canvas. I say this with utmost respect towards you. Don't take it the wrong way, as I'm just elaborating my thoughts. Cheers!
Thank you for sharing all your videos I’m so glad I found you and subscribed. I love the way you apply the base colour of the sky and they blend it in. I could not figure out where I was going wrong with the colour of the clouds you have inspired me I am 36 and had a stroke last year and it affected the frontal lobe with affects your creativity. So I have look up painting which I love but didn’t have the time before the stroke now I see life differently, the good in life. I need help like these video’s you post just to figure out basic things like the mixing colours in the clouds as I have forgot a lot of things and remembering the colours to mix is hard so I wrote it all down. I love your calming voice your English is superb. Thanks again and love from Scotland 🏴
I'm really pleased to hear you benefited from my RUclips clips. I can hardly beging to imagine how hard it must have been to get back on your feet after such a life changing event. I'm sure painting can be of great help. If you want to find out more, please email me at info@janhendrikdolsma. I'd be happy to answer your questions.
Separating warm and cools with titanium white on both sides is genius!!! I always seem to get warms and cools mixed (creating mud) and always contaminate my white… this is a game changer!!! Thank you! I learn so much from you
I have learned more in tbe last hour watching your tutorials than I have in the last two and a half years as a beginning painter. Bob Ross, rest his soul, helped to inspire me and there have been dozens of tutorials that have given me insight and usable tips but you, my friend, have taken the cake. I cant wait to get home to my studio and put these techniques to use. Thank you ever so much. I feel as if I have already taken a huge step in improving my work.
Thank you so much, Linda. I'm really pleased to hear my videos have been helpful. If you're interested in my full-length tutorials (over 60 min.), please go to www.paintingskies.com/video.
I hope you have a long life…you are a great teacher and learn a lot,I enjoy your tutorial.When I be a rich person I wish to have your painting…is extremely peaceful,and I love you little friends,make me feel happy.Have all the best!
I watched your videos many times, every time I learned a lot from you . I hope you are doing well and continue to paint ând teach . Your arts are inspiring and incredible. Thanks so much .
This is a wonderful explanation of how to mix colors - the best one I have ever seen. I always struggle with the colors in the sky, but now I can't wait to try again. Even if my paintings will never be half as good as yours ... Thank you very, very much. Greetings from the North Sea 😃
Haha, poor tea table. We have so many vintage tea carts on sale here in Antique mall brought over all the way from Holland! Good support for our birds perch too. Thank you for sharing mr Dolsma. I am your fan and looking forward to learn to paint sky your way soon.
This video is a favorite that I find myself enjoying again & again . It's a piece of arwork in & of itself itself . But here's a related question : what are your thoughts about using a grey tinted pallette vs. the white one you use in your videos . Do perceptual problems occur when trying to mix transparent colors over the grey ?
Thank you, Peter! I think a grey tinted palette can be very useful when working on a grey panel. It'll probably make mixing easier. Applying transparent colors over the grey works different compared to a white background. The colors will interfere with the grey, but you can (after some trial & error) use it to your advantage. Having said that, I would personally only use a grey board for a monochrome underpainting (a grisaille). Adding monochrome highlights and shadows works great on grey surface.
@@PaintingSkies1 Thanks for sharing your experience with the above . I think I'll stay with the off white pallettes I've been using so far . Now for some coffee & a re-run of "Mixing Colors " to get myself on an even keel .
LMAO tea table! WOW, awesome video, so helpful!! I love your organized chaos, you know what you're doing. Since I'm new to oil, do you wash your brushes every night, or store them in a plastic bag?
No, I clean them after each painting session. I have a rather unorthodox method, which I explained in a short RUclips clip (ruclips.net/video/RUkC3RBVjcg/видео.html).
This might have just helped me solve a problem I've been having getting the right color for a sunset I've been working on. Can't get the right color of purple.
Very pleased to hear the mixing colors video might have helped. BTW, if you send me an email at info@janhendrikdolsma.nl, I will send you a link to the free download of my 20 min. tutorial on painting sunsets.
I appreciate your help in understanding color mixing. How do I create violet gray? The brand of paint I use Is M.Graham, which is mixed with walnut oil. I am highly allergic to linseed oil, so I will have to mix my own.
hi Master, I find it difficult to make clouds I have watched your videos a hundred times but it is difficult to make clouds like yours. what to do and how to do. thank you so much
To be honest, it took me quite a long time to paint believable clouds. Maybe you can check my website (www.paintingskies.com/video) and download one of my full length videos. YOu'll get a step-by-step explanation of the process of painting clouds.
Please send me an email at info@janhendrikdolsma.nl and I'll add you to the subscribers list. You can also subscribe on my website, but then you'll get the Dutch version.
Please send me an email at info@janhendrikdolsma.nl and I'll send you a list of the colors, btands and brushes I use. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Excellente lecon qui se garde bien d'annoncer quelle peinture employe-t-il? S'il s'agit d'acrylique, comment l'artiste s'y prend-il pour que som melange ne soit pas sec avant d'etre depose sur la toile? Ou bien c'est de la peinture a l'huile. Bravo JanhendriK Kolsma pour baratiner pendant six minutes sans donner le renseignement fondamental de votre expose. Vous etes un bon artiste ; mais vous auriez ete un bien meilleur politicien. Etan donne que l'amateur seduit par votre qui voudra suivre votre charabia devra se procurer pas moins de vingt cinq tubes, vendeur en porte a porte vous aurait parfaitement convenu
Vous avez raison, ça aurait été mieux si j'avais dit que je travaille avec de la peinture à l'huile. J'ai corrigé cela dans la description de la vidéo. Peu importe dans ce cas que vous travailliez avec de la peinture à l'huile ou de l'acrylique. Avec les deux types de peinture, vous obtenez des gris colorés lorsqu'ils sont mélangés. De plus, je ne comprends pas le ton ni la teneur de votre argumentation. Ainsi soit-il...
Thank you for your comment. It was the name the manufacturer (Lukas) used at the time I did the video (2015). They changed it to Peachy Pink, because they began to realize (and so did I) how offensive it was. I honestly forgot I used it in the video. I will remove the video and maybe do a new one on the subject of mixing cloud colors. Would you be so kind to let me know if you read my response?
Ever consider cutting up your used pallette papers into shapes , pressing these shapes onto another canvas - then peeling them off - leaving " Modern Art" ? Maybe market them under a different name...Ditto onto women's clothing , sneakers , bib overalls etc . OR -photoshop them all together for printing on various substrates . Seems a waste to toss such a beautiful creature into the trash . One might even say , a sad lapse of creativity . And thanks for yet another great video .
i didn't dream that i would find your works here ! i have no words in english to tell what i feel about that ! just would you tell me wich médium you're using , it-s the thing so important ...
