I love your tutorials. You are such an amazing teacher and painter!! I have learned so much from you! I just wanted to tell you how amazing you are and how truly grateful i am that your doing this on RUclips!!!!!
Hi, Dianne, I've been painting for many years but never a foggy scene. I recently took some nice photos of foggy fall scenes from the road. I have always painted what I see, but wasn't sure how to start this. Thank you so much, this was very helpful! I always enjoy your gentle, yet very informative videos.
Dear Dianne, I really appreciate that you resist offering a formula for how to approach painting clouds, fog or anything else. You constantly direct the learner back to her, or his own devices, vision, value, form etc. You show how there are no short-cuts and how the only way to learn (anything really, not just painting) is to learn to critically study, to think for oneself and to begin to trust one's own abilities. (Then we'll make mistakes, but each one will be valuable since they will bring us closer to finding one's own answer to, as in this quick tip, how to paint fog.) You are a true inspiration! Keep doing what you do so well! Best, Maria (Sweden)
Dianne, you are a wonderful teacher! Many, many thanks! Keep up the good work! I so enjoy hearing everything you have to say about painting! Even though I paint with watercolors, I still enjoy seeing your other videos! My grandchildren and I have been painting and they love it!
It’s great help Dianne! Thanks a million. I totally love the way you explain in each video. Your tips are improving my painting skills in my professional artwork. All the best for you!
I had a lightbulb moment watching this. Thank you so much as I was having a lot of trouble with smoke and fog. I was looking at it all backwards. New sub here 🙂
Not to be mawkish or pathetic but at the end of my life ( only a few months left) I’ve finally found a teacher who nails teaching with such skill and and the capacity to show and.. identify the the skill of “seeing” ( not easy for someone with my specific difficulty of visual perception that I feel a bit frustrated and cranky. Oh the work I could play with and the areas I could develop. Ok I’m off to resolve a painting I started four months ago and haven’t know how to fix. Yippeee!!! Thanks Dianne
Perfect theme for the month of October thank you! We get a lot of fog here on the west coast, and I think it is amazing how much it can change a view that you look at all the time into one of intrigue. I have a video idea, how to paint fire. I have found it very tricky, and am hoping to get better at it, because it sure is a fun thing to paint. It seems to be so changeable as to what is going on in the background, and also whether it is seen in light or dark conditions.
Marti, it's simple: check the angles of every turn on both sides of the road. If you get the angles right and their length, you will have it. It's a foreshortening issue.
Hi Dianne. Great tip. Question. Do you ever use transparent white like zinc white? If so how and when do you use it. I am learning oils but have painted in acrylics for a few years and use it to layer over an area to create a haze or fog. Do you do this in oils as well? Maybe this could be a quick tip on when and how to use different whites? Thank you.
Zinc white has the reputation of cracking with age, so for several years now, I have used only Titanium White. Some folks recommend lead whites, but I try to stay away from paints containing lead.
Iced a few of these different fog painting techniques and Im still fighting with this. It never looks right for me, but I have to practice more to get it. I just can’t find that brush that works, even the mop brushes I have which are made for blending and foggy effects don’t work. They shed terribly and I’m avoiding using them.
Hi Dianne, This quick tip is really useful, thank you. I am learning to paint in pastels and I am wondering if you could demonstrate how you would tackle a foggy scene in that media. Thanks for all your tips. Amanda in Brisbane, Australia.
You apply the same principle I taught in the Quick Tip. It's a matter of very close value relationships with muted or neutralized color in the distance and gradually gradating it into the images closer to you.
Miss Dianne, May God bless you and keep you. You are so precious! You are blessed!!! Thank you, Father God for Miss Dianne, who teaches us to use our gifts you gave us. Glory to God!! in Jesus Name. Amen.
Ah @karenlee29! That was the textbook we used in one of my design classes at UGA back in the 60's. I still refer to it. Actually, the one in my bookcase is my second copy--I pretty much wore out the first one.
Thank you so much! I love that you get us to become critical observers. How does the value change? I didn't realize I c ok I'll make a neutral with 2 complimentary colors! So cool!! And then just to realize how soft or non existent the edges are in the fog helped too. I like how you said we need to paint what we see. It's not that we know it's green or a tree.
I'm just beginning a painting of foggy London. Your tutorial has really helped me to think about and visualise what is going on in the scene I'm painting. Many thanks.
.. I think this tip is a long method, making fog is just a base... Anyway this is helpful for those who are new starter in painting.. 😁.. Your great🥰. Nice tip.. Though
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction not bad actually, but I think if I'd have been doing a still life or something the result may have been a little less than satisfactory
You have very good tutorials. I love them. But, this tutorial is less than complete. Fog is more than just value and hard to soft line changes. Fog is a layering of neutral highlight-type colors that decreases what you see in the painting. The layering of obstructive neutral colors (i.e., different levels of OPACITY) over the subject matter is what creates the soft to hard lines while also shifting the values ... and maintaining both the visible and inferred subject matter of the painting.
Thank you for your observations, Joe, but I do believe we are saying the same thing - more or less. As realistic painters, we are translating/interpreting a three-dimensional world onto a two-dimensional surface. To do that, we must use two-dimensional tools. Value differences, hard-soft-lost edges and color differences are three tools that make that possible. As I say in the video, I am not giving a formula, but a way to observe. The fog might be obscuring the subject matter (three-dimensionally), but what does the artist do to translate/interpret that?
All I know is, the way everything is described in this video helped me paint outside of my comfort zone and I like my mist! This also teaches beginners how to look at value and colors in reference photos so we can always amp it up but I know my turned out great.
Mmmmm. I can see how a concept like this might be confusing for a newbie. Practice the painting skills, learn the basic composing skills, the watch it again and it make sense to you.
A great painter and a great teacher, you are a “Gift”
Wow! Thanks.
I agree, Diane is a gift! I would call her style approachable wisdom. Thanks for sharing!
“You don’t paint what you know, you paint what you see” 💕
Bingo!

I am partial to Rosemary brushes, especially series 274.
What would I do without you & your guiding light ! Thank you so much.
Wow! Thanks!

Thanks. It's a pleasure to do these Tips.
Thank you! This was very helpful.
You're welcome!
Youre a good teacher loved every minute
Thanks!
Diane, please help me figure out the winding road in a landscape! Mine are always off. How does perspective play a part?
Marti, it's simple: check the angles of every turn on both sides of the road. If you get the angles right and their length, you will have it. It's a foreshortening issue.
Beautiful words in your intro.
Thanks!
Thank you very much! I was looking for tips like this!

I just can’t find that brush that works, even the mop brushes I have which are made for blending and foggy effects don’t work. They shed terribly and I’m avoiding using them.
I'm just guessing, but it could be that you need to work on your blending technique.
Great lesson!!!
Thanks! 😃
Do you have an instruction video on adding morning fog to low areas in a field?
Nadine, the technique for creating fog works the same no matter what the subject is.
Again, brilliant! Thank you.
My pleasure.
What a great way to explain this!
Thanks!
.. The mixing of adjacent values are really great😍
And it works. Thanks.
Thank you for the helpful tutorial!
My pleasure.
I love you as a human being firstly..then your fantastic deeds
Wow, thanks for that.

I'll put your request on our schedule. With so many requests ahead of yours, it will be a while before it appears, but stay tuned.
In the Studio Art Instruction I will Dianne. Thanks so much!
Thank you for this! 😊
You're so welcome!
Thank you Dianne very helpful demo re portraying a foggy day . Caz
My pleasure.
This is so good, thank you!
Thanks for watching.
I have a finished mountain scene, but I would like to add fog. What is the best way to add fog "after the fact", if you will? Thanks very much,
You apply the same principle I taught in the Quick Tip. It's a matter of very close value relationships with muted or neutralized color in the distance and gradually gradating it into the images closer to you.
Thank you! Makes sense.
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Thank you
great explanation, this will be very useful, thank you :}

I recognize the book, Art and Visual Perception, by Rudolph Arnheim in the bookcase! Now I can't find my own copy... /. .\
Ah @karenlee29! That was the textbook we used in one of my design classes at UGA back in the 60's. I still refer to it. Actually, the one in my bookcase is my second copy--I pretty much wore out the first one.
Thank you!!! Can you please do a tutorial on painting realistic flowers ?
I'll put that one on the schedule. Look for the answer to be to NOT paint flowers, but paint their values and shapes.
Thank you so much! I love that you get us to become critical observers. How does the value change? I didn't realize I c ok I'll make a neutral with 2 complimentary colors! So cool!! And then just to realize how soft or non existent the edges are in the fog helped too.
I like how you said we need to paint what we see. It's not that we know it's green or a tree.
When we observe our external world, we feed the artist within.
I'm just beginning a painting of foggy London. Your tutorial has really helped me to think about and visualise what is going on in the scene I'm painting. Many thanks.
My pleasure. Happy fog painting!
Is this variations of painters grey...
The grays are mixed from complements plus white.
Or simply use an air brush?
Sure, if you have one and have developed the skills for using it.
Your camera is too far away. We cannot see how you mix it or what you’re mixing at all.
Try watching on a larger screen.
Thanks Ma'am 🙏
.. I think this tip is a long method, making fog is just a base... Anyway this is helpful for those who are new starter in painting.. 😁.. Your great🥰. Nice tip.. Though
As always, whatever we are responding to with paint, there is no one way to get it done. That is one thing that makes the process so much fun.
Observation! Thank you

Its reason Amazing
Thanks.
God bless you
Thanks.
this was really helpful thanks :)
My pleasure.
wonderful
Thanks.
i do not see how that is fog! it looks nothing like fog..
Use your imagination.
I once painted in a fog...🤪
And how did it turn out?

👍👍👍
Is this acrylic?
This particular tip uses oils.
sounds like Herbert the pervert from family guy
Foggy?
ضيعتو وقتي معاكي ياخسارة الوقت الي راح
أنت فقط يمكن أن تضيع وقتك.
It's foggy and miserable outside. Guess what? I don't want to put it in a painting and hang it on the wall.
Maybe just make some hot chocolate.
Change your tolking style look like 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
🙂
Not good explanation
What wasn't clear about it?
display didn’t show in fine details fog and mist compared to other videos from other people on RUclips
Looking again at it it was missing fine blending display to complete fog creation
Too much talking
Please tell me how I can teach a concept without talking.
Not parfect 😢
Mmmmm.
thankyou so much
My pleasure.
