What an excellent, and helpful video. I am a beginner/intermediate and this info will be perfect to make sure I set up correctly. Thank you for all of your videos, I have enjoyed so many.
As always fantastic information for us who are still learning. You are an amazing artist. I have your paint recipe book I would highly recommend it as a must for anyone wishing how to paint our stunning coast line. Cheers from Perth.
At last.....an artist who explains the colours and how to mix them and what they can be used for. I'm just learning to paint, so this information is really useful to me. Thanks. ☺️
Thank you!! How impressive! Generous explanations! Amazingly beautiful beaches and sunsets and waters that resemble those of my country! I watch out for your smile too! 😄
Just found your youtube channel and love your work! Can't wait to attempt my first seascape tomorrow. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and knowledge and bringing us All such joy in developing our painting skills and techniques - it really means alot. God bless you.
Since following Mark's limited colour palette, I now feel I can mix the colour I need because I know these colours so well. I also have the recipe book, it is my cheat sheet to kick off my colours for my paintings and means I can always feel confident if I make mistakes and have to reconstruct my colours. Can't recommend buying that enough!!!! Thanks Mark 😍
I think that is really key. I often get lost in color mixing and can never get the right color I want. I'm going to get Mark's 10 colors and stick with them (at least for a while) and go by his recipes too.
Oh dear! I'm currently living in the Philippines. I'm restricted in leaving the house (all those over 65 and under 18) are not allowed out. I have house painting brushes, all basic colours ( no Forrest Green). I have pieces of ply to paint on. Hope I can paint the days away until I can get back to Aust. I tried using acrylic house paint but not the best!
@@ExploreAcrylics I'm a tough old bird. Haven't survived volcanic eruptions, typhoons, flooding, and earthquakes without learning how to adapt, accept, and still dream of perfecting my minimal skills. Cheers!
Hi Mark I loved your discussion colours andpaints the limited palette . You mentioned about your recipe book on mixing colours I think i have right. Where can i buy that book? Jan Mackaye🤗
Hi Jan, thanks so much for your kind comments! You can buy the recipe book through my website at www.explore-acrylic-painting.com/shop-beachscapes-paint-recipe-book.html - we also have a downloadable version which you can find here: www.explore-acrylic-painting.com/shop-beachscapes-paint-recipe-book-DL.html Hope that helps!
It's just a piece of ply I picked up from somewhere and sealed with either a layer of white paint or binder medium. Has about 8 thousand layers of paint on it :)
awesome! You can find the recipe book on our website under "shop>books" explore acrylic painting dot com. We have a downloadable version as well as a hard copy. Let us know if you have any troubles! Cheers for the support :)
Great question Alicia. Forest Green is such a versatile colour straight out of the tube. It's just a great timesaver. I can warm it up, cool it down, add warm yellow to create awesome backlit leaf effects, cool yellows for high lit areas; add purple to create fantastic foliage shadows just for some examples. I do mix my own greens of course, depending on the image I'm painting, but this particular green is just so versatile, I can't not use it :D
Just tried the Atelier Artists Acrylic paints. Having trouble with the first layer lifting off when applying the next layer even though the first layer is touch dry. Anyone have any suggestions on this?
Hi Chris, make sure you're letting it dry longer - in the sun if possible. You can also try mixing a thin coat of Universal Medium in with the paint (or painting it in between your layers when they are fully dry. Universal Medium is a "fast" medium - meaning it will dry and "lock" the layer underneath down). Hope that helps!
I am just starting painting after my trip to Australia so many beautiful photos I want to paint. Your tips will sure help, Thank you.
Wonderful! Best of luck!
Can’t wait to follow along. This is spectacular 😊

Great video as usual.. learnt so much
Glad to hear it!
Have half those colours but I don't think I have tried some of those colour combos yet (like purple plus yellow)

Sorry to hear that, hope you can still find a way to be creative and positive. Sending love :)

What is your palette made out of? Did you buy it or make it?
It's just a piece of ply I picked up from somewhere and sealed with either a layer of white paint or binder medium. Has about 8 thousand layers of paint on it :)
🙏🤲
Mark, please tell me how you get all that paint all over the front and even the back of your tee -shirt.
Hahaha any surface will do!
What would be the equivalent of Forest Green in Winsor & Newton?
No idea sorry, I haven't used Winsor and Newton much!
Just got all the colours in interactive. Where would I find the recipe book??
awesome! You can find the recipe book on our website under "shop>books" explore acrylic painting dot com. We have a downloadable version as well as a hard copy. Let us know if you have any troubles! Cheers for the support :)
Yes but what TYPE OF CANVASES do you use?
Whatever I can get my hands on :D For selling though, artist quality double primed 10 oz cotton canvas :) Thanks for asking!
Hi Mark. Why not mix your own green?
