Mandy is tops in my opinion. Outstanding, articulate instructor. So knowledgeable and the most fun personality I have seen out of all your wonderful guests! Invite that girl back!
What was great with this demo with Mandy is all the explanations and reasons for her systems. She sounds like my kind of teacher. Thank you, Eric, for having her on your program.
I’m in Many’s online Atelier program a few months now. I’ve been painting for a while but am learning so much! I’m so glad I started to study with her! She is knowledgeable, experienced, fun! and invested in my success.
Mandy is very personable, a born teacher with knowledge to match! I don't use mixers, but do make my own sun-bleached stand oil. I solve the spontaneous fire problem by using paper towels and throwing them directly into the wood burner in the room. Even if it is summer and there is no fire on, it will not matter if it combusts. I think poster studies go back to the 1930s when the art deco movement became popular in railway posters etc.... it gave more "blocks" of simplified colours.
Thank you for the kind words. Please be careful burning paint towels, toxic fumes could be a problem depending on what pigments you are using. I’m not a scientist and safety is ultimately your responsibility as the painter, but please look into it to make sure you are being safe ❤
Great lesson! Thank you Mandy. Now I want to do some small studies in this manner, for value and form. Thanks Eric for your great Guest Teachers🤗…watching from Virginia!
Well, I do the same, but I’ve always been a closet cutter due to being shamed for defacing a book. I absolutely love books, and lugged big heavy books around for years before getting up the nerve to start a binder of ‘cut out’ images of wonderful art. Thank you, Mandy for bringing me out of the closet!!😅
According to the internet, about 320 MILLION books end up in the landfill each year, approx. 800,000 tons of books! I would guess a fair amount from library sales. You are saving those wonderful images from the landfill.
Hi from Australia. I'm loving this Tutorial re colour theory. I was wondering why you aren't using both lead white & titanium white and if we should limit the number of colours we use in a painting.
Great question. Although I prefer using lead white in my personal paintings, I always use Titanium White when teaching and giving demos so that people can more easily follow along at home and to avoid the difficulties associated with using lead white in a teaching setting.
Buying cheap good quality art magazines and art books is something I do for cutting up. Often I find duplicates so one copy can be added to my library if it is a book I love. Great idea!
I rushed back to see day two with Mandy and Eric!! And cutting out of an art book…. Ok…. Just paste them back on and create a new story from the book!!
Learned a lot with using white….dont know if I comprehend are mixing of the different colors, since I cant see the reds and purples as she’s described. But thats on me - she’s amazing.
I agree, a photo (in the book) of a painting shows a BIG IDEA, but unfortunately doesn´t depict actual color, true to the original painting. I often take a book, when visiting an exhibition at the museum, and I write down (around the printed images) with arrows pointing at the parts of print how the color compares to the original paintings. It never does. It is too warm or too cold, too red or too green... and so on. My notes in books and in catalogs help me remember how the original paintings really felt. Anyhow - thanks for an excellent lesson. Greetings from Stockholm, Sweden.
Eric, I have watched dozens of your you tube shows. I challenge you to listen to how you talk to three female artists and then listen to how you talk to three male artists. Notice anything?
Im outraged! They really encourage this sort of sacrilidge on university art courses for the sake of collages. At least you're making a pretty picture from it though. Can I just say all printers are high quality enough to show these big ideas you're looking for! P.s I'd forgive Mandy Theis for anything, isnt she lovely.

Thanks Mandy! ❤

Hi again today Mandy and Eric! Watchin' from Idaho!
Hello again to you too!

lol it took me a long time to fess up to it too… glad to find another in our community :)

Hello from Arizona
Hey Mandy… your previous video encouraged us to use Lead White .. but now you’re using Titanium White…. ?
Great question. Although I prefer using lead white in my personal paintings, I always use Titanium White when teaching and giving demos so that people can more easily follow along at home and to avoid the difficulties associated with using lead white in a teaching setting.
Watching from South Africa..
Buying cheap good quality art magazines and art books is something I do for cutting up. Often I find duplicates so one copy can be added to my library if it is a book I love. Great idea!
That's a great idea! You can even cut up my magazines... which beats throwing them out :-)
hello from Brighton, Ontario
I rushed back to see day two with Mandy and Eric!! And cutting out of an art book…. Ok…. Just paste them back on and create a new story from the book!!
Thanks for coming back and sorry you had to learn something so terrible about me! I do love books I promise. I just like painting more… ❤
Learned a lot with using white….dont know if I comprehend are mixing of the different colors, since I cant see the reds and purples as she’s described. But thats on me - she’s amazing.
The class from yesterday goes into details about whites, you should check it out!
I was taught to get a natural.. add blue and red first then add yellow then white..to get mother colour grey
Yes, there are many methods to achieving a neutral. Chromatic neutrals are just one way.
I agree, a photo (in the book) of a painting shows a BIG IDEA, but unfortunately doesn´t depict actual color, true to the original painting.

That was great! Too bad she was rushed. Although it did come through as a white cup/saucer!!!❤👍🏻🎨
Thank you for the kind words. Next time I’ll ask Eric for two hours and still go over because I like to explain so much. :)
Is she mixing paint with a medium?
No, I try to never add mediums to my paint.
Eric, I have watched dozens of your you tube shows. I challenge you to listen to how you talk to three female artists and then listen to how you talk to three male artists. Notice anything?
Please just paint 😏

lol your comment made me smile, thanks for sharing and I understand how polarizing my suggestion might be 😂
Mandy Mandy you didnt 😊
lol I did…
