Love Mark's longstanding grimdark war against the saturation of saturation.
Your studio is a perfect picture of today's video. Natural❤
I thought its ai background?
The irony ...
he's in front of a green screen. You can see the green reflected on Mark's hands
I tend to paint on the muted level, and I'm always trying to brighten them up. However, it never looks right to me. Thank you for this very informative video
What a beautiful studio.
I don't know about that ... I could be wrong, but there are many oddities about this backdrop.
I think its an AI generated pic as backround.
@comunidadbitcoin2050 it is
Mark, tell us. Is this your actual studio or an image?
Excellent tips as always!
I've reined it in when I paint, thanks to you. I do need to paint more though.
Totally right Mark, in my own paintings I have always been cautious with over saturated colour, I would prefer an under saturated painting as opposed to an over saturated one.
These comments from Mark make so much sense to me. I want to take up painting again but suffer the fear of failure after a sever medical battle. Watching Mark's videos is very inspiring.
"Too much sugar" is easily one of the most common mistakes everyone makes as a beginner in these fields. It makes looking back on your old stuff a gruesome experience. Like, how could I ever think "yeah, this is good"
Backlighting is much more effective when the color is subdued as we see in many great paintings. Love your informative videos.
Photographers on social media are the most guilty of this. It makes me cringe when they post a photo of a sunset that has been manipulated with software and pass it off as "the sunset here where I live today." The image is so fantastically over saturated that it would obviously never occur in real life, yet the viewers tend to actually believe the person captured the image unedited.
Yeah it’s not that you don’t see vivid colour in real life, it’s just that it doesn’t appear everywhere like social media posts lol
2:22 absolutely love this image too.
Instagram ready images = too much sugar so often. Thx for talking about it and bringing some balance on the subject
I bought a small painting which used natural, modest colors. When I put in on my wall, it disappeared. Without 3 gallery spotlights, it had no presence.
I also bought a beautiful graphite/colored pencil drawing; unfortunately the artist used grey-green paper, so I can only enjoy it nose to glass.
This was a problem more of value than color, but buyers should ask the gallery to switch to normal domestic lighting (or whatever they plan to use) before deciding on the purchase.
Artists might consider these issues as well.
I find that bright colors are at their best when they're used sparingly and contextualized by more neutralized ones.
I have always drawn and painted on the muted side, and have tried so hard to brighten things up even though my work looks very natural and everybody really likes it, so it's good to hear you say this, makes me feel like I'm doing something right!
Thank you, Mark 😊🙏
There's an exact analogy to high-end sound systems. Most people will initially prefer the systems with elevated highs and lows. But systems like that eventually become very fatiguing.
An amazing "introduction in good taste" video. I'm learning so much from your videos. And I'm not saying that almost ever.
I love bright and bold color, but one thing I love about more muted, realistic tones is I spend more time looking at the painting as a whole. It's less stimulating and the eye can meander across the scene at a more relaxed pace since it all flows together.
I agree. Recently looked at David Hockney's work. A definite type of colour palette. I know of other artists that like that vibrant colour saturation. Meh. Its okay. Mood. What is your mood? A series of mood. Cheers.
This reminds me to think through the intention of the painting before color is on the canvas. What emotion do I want to invoke? Great video.
Great advice!
The image on the right at 1:26 makes the subject pop while maintaining a somber mood, the third image is too bright.
Excellent insight
Gray is a beautiful colour☺️
there's a difference between what your eye sees naturally and a pumped up HDRI image. paint what you SEE, naturally.
Mark thank you so much for you sharing. Your sharing means a lot to us and I hope I can visit your studio & attend one of ur training sessions sometime soon 🙏
thank you great tip! very helpful
Very helpful for me. I do wamp up my images because I want the viewer to see mire detail but probably the mood is lost in the process
I think this is a matter of taste, and the beautiful image of grass, tree, and sky you used as an example, is entirely good.
That is why Andrew Wyeth had the guts to be stark and honest . You are so right which is why the Impressionists became famous… colorful and insipid.
It’s usually just ignorance.
Had Mr. Wyeth not been the son of N.C., he would never have been known.
The Dutch Golden Age were the great painters of the somber and the classical.
The Barbizon painters were moody which is why they are not in Janson.
I wonder, as you do that for some human reason.. bright means happy.
Ad nauseum!
Not being reliant on colour makes you more aware of value which I think is a good thing ... says me who is colour blind.
Awesome vid, ty
Thankiuu , and so true !
Old master painters seems to use very neutral earthy moody tones and save the luminous bright colourful for skin tones, flowers, etc. people without common sense think that oversaturating everything in the scene is better.
1:31 - the righthand is a better image, not because it is more colourful but there is significantly more separation between the subject and the background. I would pick tonal values from the one on the right to use.
Very interesting...
I've been painting for 30 years and use to love bright colours. Always washed my brushes and kept clean colours. Now I do the opposite, I never wash brushes and with the experience keep that murkyness in my work.
Thank you.
1:52 this though is an example of bright colours used well and looks pleasing to the eye, but not all oversaturated compositions look good. It can make everything just compete with each other and not stand out or just look tacky. To me it doesn’t matter if it’s monochromatic, dichromatic, or vivid colours everywhere, as long as it’s done right. Usually it’s not though haha.
Aside from oil painting I’m also a tattoo artist and very often get clients that want super bright vivid colors. It doesn’t look good if all the colors are bright and competing for the eye’s attention. So I’ll have to explain to them the theory behind reserving it to just one bright color and more muted tones for it to have the effect that they want. They usually show me examples of what I’m talking about and they don’t even notice all the muted tones and why it works that way.
I love muted and moody paintings!
Tone is the key to feeling...
I always say too much chroma is like too much salt in my chili
You change the mood of a painting when you add too much sugar
🙏🙏❤️
my thing is i cant see the detail if the photo is to dark. have to up to brightness little bit to be able to see what im painting unless theres another way around that?
unless i dont paint every single detali in the painting
My first few years painting looks Crayola. Not Painting from the tube But mixing without understanding how to desaturate a color. Color theory and learning how to sway a color are art forms in themselves.
Too much sugar and I'll develop diabetes 😅✌️
Van Gogh would argue with you.
De gustibus non est disputandum…
All depends what you like lol I finishing a painting with vivid colors , the next painting will be very subdued.
Photo Illustration ,not fine art painting
Please what is the meaning of ( too mauch sugar - over saturated) ?
P r o m o S M 🤗
The Fauves were the worst. Horrible like my work. Local color is the only way for those still trying to be “re-born” in the renaissance. It’s called “style”.
are you aware that the last image you used is made by AI?
Yes, as a matter of fact every image in this video was made using Midjourney. With a small amount of editing in Photoshop.
@@DrawMixPaint didn't know that, thanks for clarifying
completely subjective.
AI is ruining perspectives on art
The ai-background is extremely cringe, i can't take anyone serious who would even consider doing something like these. Cheers from Russia.
This background is cringe and makes everything you’re saying meaningless 😂
