  • Use less white paint and more transparent color? What does that mean? How do you do this in practical terms? This video answers these questions. At least this is my take on the subject for my landscape painting. Try it out in your paintings and see if color vibrancy and richness is improved.

    Thank you! This is the best demonstration that I've seen of how to lighten and darken colors without white.

    Avoiding burnt unber is interesting. I want to try using burnt sienns instead. I always learn from your videos. Thanks!

    You gave me answers to questions I didn't even know I had. I could not figure out why burnt umber wasn't working for me; it's what my painting professors requested. All the while I was aware of burnt sienna, I never thought to substitute the umber for sienna. And your reasoning makes so much sense! Thank you tons!

    Thanks again, Malcolm. Excellent video. I have been struggling with these issues. I went from using too much black-and-white to using no white at all, lol. And now with your videos, I’m putting color back in. If I could just mix color as quickly and efficiently as you do! 😂

    This was a eye opener for me Malcolm. Thanks for uploading, a very powerful demonstration. Not using the white paint, except in the lighter areas. I now see the benefits, of this approach. It looks much more realistic as you mentioned. I don't think many people seem to know about it.

  • @bridgetjones7899
    @bridgetjones7899 2 года назад +2

    Great video Can you explain tertiary colour, and why you don't use burnt umber ?... in the winton winsor and newton range burnt umber is a single pigment .

    • @MalcolmDewey
      @MalcolmDewey  2 года назад +2

      Remember there are only three primary colors. Red, blue and yellow are required to make a tertiary color like burnt umber. Add that to other colors on the palette and you quickly lose control. Especially using an Impressionist palette. I guess it's okay for an Old Master palette of darker earth colors.

    Hi, Malcolm. I live in Australia. The outback has the most vibrant blues and oranges in the landscape.
    Would love to see what you could do as a tutorial.

    @claraedouwesdekker6389 7 месяцев назад

    Great demo as always Malcolm - thank you! I am surprised that you classify Ultramarine as a warm blue - is Cerulean cooler than FU? To my untrained eye, it was just the opposite. Grateful for your sharing, and am learning a lot from your course. Struggling a bit with Notan. But will persevere.

    • @MalcolmDewey
      @MalcolmDewey  7 месяцев назад +1

      Yes ultramarine leans to purple. It really does show up if you use it for sky blues. However it is not unanimous so each artist must decide 😊

    Hi there , love your tutorials,they are so helpful. Just one point, can I ask that when you've finished your paintings can you just leave the camera on it for a few seconds longer, sometimes it's really difficult to press pause at the right time , at the end I think we need to look at the finished painting for longer and absorb it all. Thanks .

    @CarolAnnArtisan Год назад

    This is very good information. I am still a bit confused about using the opaque colors such as yellow deep and cerulean in the blends because then technically the colors would not be transparent anymore. Or maybe that isn't an issue in the same way as adding white to a mix is? Thank you.

    • @MalcolmDewey
      @MalcolmDewey  Год назад +1

      Yes exactly. Transparency of cadmiums is fine, but adding white pushes it too far at times.

    • @CarolAnnArtisan
      @CarolAnnArtisan Год назад

      @@MalcolmDewey OK, I see. That clarifies it more. Basically, using just the colors from the tubes and blending them together equates to a richer, more vibrant color but adding white removes that vibrancy.

  • @NicolasConnault
    @NicolasConnault 2 месяца назад

    What about the alternative whites? Zinc white isn't nearly as impactful as titanium white, and some brands also offer a "soft mixing white".

    • @MalcolmDewey
      @MalcolmDewey  2 месяца назад +1

      Yes I have covered those in other videos, Georgian whites. Still these principles apply. Zinc is not a good pigment in general. Mixing white is fine for certain applications like portraits, but will be frustrating in landscape painting. Not strong enough for lights. Yet too much for shadows.

    I see a little boy with a umbrella walking thru the rain. Its sunny outside....but raining inside. He likes foxes. I think you ignore your magic. But then again....this is your route. A more serious route. Beautiful painting. I'm more like a alcoholic painter....(no i dont drink.)Wide open. I do all the wrongs.
