    Mark is the best. Knows his stuff. I did his 6 day workshop a couple years ago and it was awesome. Highly recommend! Also, his Geneva paint line is the GOAT.

    My problem is that when I finally get it mixed right, then I find out that I don't have enough for the area I wanted to paint and start all over with uncertain results...

      I’m so glad I found this channel. Color is my worst and you’re making it very possible for me. I’ve got friends in Austin maybe someday a class… I use acrylic and I am seeing just how I can take what you’re saying to how I can use it. Wow this feels good. I’d been pretty frustrated

    Dear Lord, I finally understand why I know so little about mixing colors and why I`ve always avoided doing it.
    Thank you so much for your excellent explanation.
    At school, we`ve had so many years of art lessons, but we`ve learned almost nothing about mixing colors.
    I would have gladly exchanged at least half of those lessons for lessons about color mixing.
    How they could ignore the most important basics is beyond me.
    They were teaching us a foreign language without introducing us to its ABC.

    I’m going to try this tomorrow! I will put a glass chopping board or clear plastic wrap ( no laminate) over a picture or travel brochure and see what I can do……so excited! Oh and I’ve no oils yet as I’m new to art so will try in acrylics……..
    Thank you.

  • @stoneburner4070
    @stoneburner4070 9 месяцев назад +5

    your method changed my life. stumbled onto your videos years ago. this simplified method puts you in control of your colors as well as the reason why they work or don’t work. also keeps one from hiding behind not having “the right paint” to do realism. it forces you to think your way thru the process which eventually sharpens one’s eye.

    @richardwyant3728 8 месяцев назад +2

    Yeah I have heard people talk about warm it up or cool it down. I much rather keep it simple and just talk about color. Intensity or chroma is also interesting if you are composing something. Great video I definitely have learned more on this one about how to reach a color goal than any of the others I have been watching. I really appreciate you taking the time to do and share this content.

    I have come to the point where I couldn't apreciate this channel more. There are so many artists sharing their knowledge by trimming down important and succinct information and cutting corners of important milestones, making it impossible for beginners and intermediate artists to even begin to grasp the concept of painting. This is such a precious resource, I can't thank you enough for making this available 👏
