After years of painting I have finally found someone who articulates color & values in an easy straight forward manner for the complex subject of color mixing & broken color. Thank you!!!!
Outstanding demonstration! You are fast becoming my favorite oil painting instructor on RUclips. Your methods are solid and your generosity in sharing knowledge is over the top! Thank you.
Your approach on color is praiseworthy! In structural visual theories there is not enough emphasis on isoluminance or the use of tone in same-value conditions. We find it in simultaneous contrast problem, but we don’t deepen it enough on tonal contrasts (complementary and caloric). The Bauhaus models of color, like the sphere or the circle of color, give us the false impression that the tones are ell arranged on same equatorial plane, at same median level. Actually, not only the neutral greys, but also the saturated tones have a value hierarchy corresponding as isoluminant level to a certain neutral grey. So, in practice, the isoluminant relation is established via complementary mixture of broken tones and colored greys in order to maintain a high level of saturation..
Great way of demonstrating control, simplification and rich vibration of warm and cool, lights and shadow color in this charming small oil painting - very beautifull and inspiring. 🧡💚🙏
I see in Alex - the Spirit of Sargent & a great Teacher transcending every master & masterly strokes. This painting technique is parallel to wine making passed on to generations. We the present generation are enjoying the fruits. I am also tempted to say that Alex is gifted to be top notch painter & all are not gifted & there is nothing wrong in acknowledging it. That is how God made all of us different
This is a very good demonstration. The technical information is precise and perfectly balanced with the time it takes to deliver the study. I feel that I have learnt a valuable lesson in colour movement/ broken colour. Thank you.
Wooooonderful demo and pure gold lesson for who we love to paint realistic and with loose brush work. I’ve been working reviewing some of your demos. Thank you so much for sharing knowledge Alex! Greetings from Mexico
Nice work, make! You really included a lot of the specifics that many teachers glaze over (no pun intended), which, for someone at my intermediate level (pretty beginner at oil painting, but better with acrylics & watercolor) are really extremely important & beneficial to have you go into in such detail.
This is a great lesson on color. I've been using white way too much for my high lites. White makes it look too pasty. There no richness with white. Having a great time experimenting with cool and warm tones in the back round. Thanks.
Excellent explanation of how art is made. You are an artist and you have an exceptionally good ability to understand colour. One of the best tutorial videos I've ever seen. Thank you.
Happy to see your new vid . Couple of stupid tangerines turned into a classic ,reminds me about Repin (apples and leaves ) .. You are rare treasure , to give us this knowlidge of a dying fine art in these days ! Respect and big thank you ...
Absolutely love this video, I think I shall screenshot your reference photo and try painting along with this, the way you build your paintings is magical.
@@SIMPLIFYDrawingandPainting I have tried some still life's in the past, and will certainly do so again. Unfortunately my painting area is my bedroom, and because of the layout and where my easel has to go, and where the window is, it's actually quite tricky to get it with good lighting, and I end up having to keep looking over my shoulder at the subject! I could use getting some bright LED lights really. My desk lamp is OK but very hot, and gives very harsh shadows.
I was thinking of doing a landscape to talk about broken colour, because it definitely applies to landscape painting. But this seemed an easier way to demonstrate it, that people could practice at home. Maybe I should do a further video on broken colour with a landscape?
@@SIMPLIFYDrawingandPainting Definitely interested to see how you deal with some scenery with clouds and air perspective! Landscape paintings proposes quite a different set of problems I think, especially plain air ones. The change in light conditions and stuff like vegetation requires different response. Broken colour ideas apply there greatly too.
Now THIS is teaching painting! This is not just briliant. It is generous, truly sharing knowledge of art and technique.
Thank you Kent!

No matter how long you take to post a video if they are so good as always :) Great video, very useful! Thank you and greetings from Mallorca, Spain

Vibrance is definetly something that draws me into paintings, balanced high chroma can grab you from across a room ❤️
At the point after you applied the cooler shadowy green is the moment the 3rd dimension was created. Excellent ! The pink highlights are perfect.
Thank you very much!
You're an outstanding teacher and very talented painter Alex. Hello and thank you from Newcastle Australia mate!
Cheers and hooroo... ..🤙
Thank you Paul!
Sei un vero maestro!! Tecnica stupenda!
This is a very good demonstration. The technical information is precise and perfectly balanced with the time it takes to deliver the study. I feel that I have learnt a valuable lesson in colour movement/ broken colour. Thank you.
Thanks Paul! Glad it was helpful.
The way you did the shadows on the tangerines in the bowl was amazing!
Thank you Yoni!
Wow for a colorblind person that is overwhelming
Apparently William Orpen was colour blind, his work is really colourful.
