good point well made.
solving this one problem fully makes you an artist.
may take a few decades. but it works.
Superb demo. I do watercolor, but this really applies to all media.
Thank you for sharing (:
That woman has such a natural beauty.
Wow. I couldn't believe this so I put it in Photoshop and it is 100% the same color.
that was very good.
Also if you squint then the dots will also show you they are the same color.
this is why squinting is beneficial. It tells you the truth.
Are you being serious? I'm seriously asking. Because when I squint, the dots still look like all different shades to me.
Thank you Mark, I really needed to hear this. It is something I already knew and had heard before, but I have recently been painting portraits in oil from life, and after watching this just realized how much i have NOT been taking this into consideration. I have been making my shadows way too bright. Thank you for all the knowledge you share on here. I may not strictly use your method, but I really like the concept of it, and the way you base things on clear cut, concrete, tangible facts. There is a treasure of knowledge to be learned from you.
Great teacher! Off topic, but the woman in the video has the most beautiful face. Serene!
Mark, this is absolutely correct. I am working really hard to make accurate value and color choices and it's not easy. This was timely coaching. Thanks
Every time I watch a video from you my mind is blown.
you started to tell us why you don't recommend painting on a black canvas and then you didn't. I would love for you to really tell us!! x'3
... did you watch the video. same reason as not using white canvas, but opposite
I dont want this to sound disrespectful because it certainly isn't intended that way, but £50+ seems quite expensive for the colour checker, what advantage is there to just holding up a brush with the paint on it?
He has a video called "make a color checked out of wood" that you might like! Also, you can make your own using anything you have lying around as well.
it's disrespectful because you can't put a price to somebody else's work, especially if it's not a big company but a small group of artists doing such a great work. if you can't/don't want to afford simply don't, commenting on this is quite rude.
@@user-wt5if6rx8m No, it's just a question, but instead of giving an answer, you just complained. THAT's rude!
@@NipapornP nah. i don't mind critiquing big companies but smaller entrepreneurs, my dude... just because you can't afford it, doesn't mean it's expensive. you don't know how much time and work one puts to develop their own products. for someone to say it's too expensive, it's like saying "you're overestimating your efforts" and that's, well, rude. i don't need to insinuate that to ask about the benefits of a product or even ask for a discount. i can do that very straightforwardly without putting a price to other people's work. specially in the art field. but to each their own.
I paint with acrylics and your techniques work great! I have been painting impressionism for a while now and am hoping to transition to oils in the near future. Your basic oil set looks great!
Thank you. Theoretically, I knew all that, but it really helps if someone shows it like this.
Hi Mark,
You said that one shouldn't paint black canvas, and obviously this video is about something else and you didn't explain. I would like to know why.
I'm a photographer that does a lot of night photography and I'm just about ready to start painting some of my photographs as practice. Most of my photos are very dark. I thought it would be easier to start with black, then work on mid tones the finish the painting with the highlights. An example:

Mark, this is really helpful but way too short. I notice in class, the details of an image is lost the longer we view it. Can you make a comprehensive video on optical illusions? Btw, that horses head gives me nightmares it's so goddamn good!
You can regain that perception of detail, contrast, subtle or simple contrasts, etc. by training yourself to clear your mind and look at something with fresh eyes. You can learn what to do, what to look for and what to ignore. You have to learn how to work with your mind and eyes because they are constantly doing things that undermine many things being done while painting or drawing. Not doing it is very apparent in the results.
The colour checker has had an immense impact on me when it comes to training the eyes to see value correctly. This is a subjective topic that's hard to find nice and clear info on the internet.
Hello Mark. I have just now introduced myself to one of your videos. Clarity! Thank you! I have a question. One of my personality traits is that I don't like to have a lot of rules.As you know, this can cause problems with all things creative, specifically painting. IAt times I can begin to paint with no picture, no still life information, etc. I've always felt that this should be one way to work,-just let the painting flow from my imagination. It is a much more difficult option that using nature, objects, or a picture. What do you think?
Thank you! This was so helpful. I make this mistake all the time. It is good to know that it is common and now I know what to do to fix it.
Excellent, i have learn't something today i should have know, so it's true, .. i don't know everything..
hi mark, those dots seem to change their true colours as soon as u put a dark background. to me the dots on the left side are different to the two dots on the right while on top of the skin tone.
tengo un grave problema soy español y no se ingles, tengo alguna forma de entender lo que dice?aun asi veo todos sus videos,he constrido tanto en divisor como el buscador del color, pero mi problema es el idioma,hay alguna solucion
Very well explanation skills... Real Pleasure to watch your videos.
why shouldn't you paint on black canvas? I mean black paint too, not redblueyellow mixed to whatever degree.
I find it difficult to paint on black bacause first I have to bring up the light and then push it down again not to have chalky feel to it. And if you mix your blacks you can make them warm or cold, as you need.
One reason is that oil paint becomes more transparent with age, so the black background may start to show through and distort colors and values.
I wonder if it helps to exactly match the color of the canvas under-painting with the color of your palette?
this is amazing! thank you
can i use my colorchecker outside? For landscape for example?
Here is a video I made on how to properly use a color checker: ruclips.net/video/TuZ0t5FR9f0/видео.html
Draw Mix Paint Thanks!!
Emily is so naturally beautiful! 😍
Have you heard it said, "A color is never a color until it is next to another color. "?
Woah. 4:00 really got me.
Great advice and demo Mark. Many thanks
I keep a piece of card stock handy and paint sample colors along the edge to hold up next to the reference. My pallet is also a medium grey, so that I have a better idea what colors I'm mixing.
Really enjoy your videos!
Amazing.....thanks so very much for another very helpful video from your collection of knowledge and experience!!! Nothing quite like it that I have found.
Colour checking and values ... two basic but critical lessons for any artist. OK, I got the message loud and clear ... many thanks. Mind you, and I hope this comment is not out of order, I found it a little difficult not to be distracted by the classic beauty of your model.
Thank you Mark so much helpful and supportive information, cant tell you how much that helps!
Fantastic. Thank you
Thank you so much mark for making this video,It is extremely helpful.
with all do respect, what do those of us do that cant afford $80. for this device?
He has a video about how to make your own.
@@satchelyork thanks, I have managed to make one for myself seance last year.
wow, simply amazing. Now I see the color checker is an important tool. Thanks!
I'm trying your method and find my self not believing my color check all the time then put in the next area and it's like magic. Thanks for your top notch art lessons.
Oh my god, thank you!
So glad to have found your channel. thank you!
Wow. Totally learned something I never knew as an amateur artist. Thanks!
Very good point Mark. I have also noticed when I paint from a photo, sometimes I see a different value through the colour checker than if I place a spot of paint onto the photo.
You cut right to the chase and teach the very important nugget of information that is important to learn. There's no need to try to filter out the essential information from within a 2 hour lesson. I appreciate your brevity combined with the true usefulness of the information you impart.
Thank you so very much!
Excellent observation and valuable lesson. Thank you sir.
Thanks for this very helpful video. I wonder if your site will ever ship your oil paints worldwide?
Good call but its not really colour thats the issue but judging the tonal value of the colour correctly.
yeah, like the same shade and color of lipstick looks different on black and white women
Thanks for sharing
Bravo, Mark!
Thank you so much, i know this problem and now i can solve it.
i've alawys noticed im making a unrealistic light skin tone and this explains it
Extremely good points, thank you
Thank you.
Thank you very much for sharing this!
Thanks for your experience, Marc!
mind blown
Thank you very much for sharing this
Mark, great information. This is so true.
Great video. Thank you!
dope
This explains a lot of my mistakes. Thanks
Another EXCELLENT VID AAA+
great to see the videos start coming again. thanks
Great video - I need to make a colour checker.
You have a lot of good tips in your videos!
Numeral uno, in the art (making) world, look more at the subject than the canvas - in this case however, seeing the speaker longer than the canvas does-away with the lesson!!
Love the colour checker gizmo!
Great insight..thanks Mark!
excellent video thanks👍
Simultaneous contrast
brilliant and thank you :)
Simultaneous contrast.
That's bananas! Damn these eyes!
That's kind of neat.
Great advice as always.
Will the color checking method work if your model/ reference is on a computer screen? I can't help but suspect that the color/ value will change based on your position.
An additional factor to consider is that a computer screen emits light as opposed to an object that reflects light. It is more difficult to determine color and value when the source is light and the mixing palette is using pigment.
That makes sense. I need to paint a few nudes but I'm worried about ordering prints from my local supermarket (because of the subject matter). Not sure what to do really. Having the reference on a screen is no good like you said.
thank you for tip
WAO!
That's crazy
What about colored lights? Or flesh tones with blues/purple colors because of translucency. How would you paint that? (This is what I struggle with the most as an artist) p.s. Love your work!
If you have a reference, it's literally about breaking it down one color at a time.
can you elaborate more on that? I also really struggle with this
Well, your tendency when you first start is to think about three-dimensional depth. But when you're painting a canvas, it's a flat surface. So, you have to think in sections. It's actually more mathematical than you think. On this section of the canvas, what exact color goes down? You think of nothing else! This technique is called "blocking". With the color checker that Mark teaches you how to use and make, you take it one color at a time. Let's say you want to start with the darkest skin tone. You mix your paint and match it to the darkest skin tone in the photograph and you begin to block it out on your canvas. Anywhere you see the photograph has that exact color, you also put it down on your canvas.
For translucent and other complex materials, it's the same idea. Don't think of the 3D, tangible material. Rather, study out every single little shade of color it transitions through. And you paint one tiny little shade at a time.
speed: 1.5x, thank me later
Speed 1.0x is quite perfect for us realistic artists.
fascinating.
thanks!!
Great common-sense teacher. Similarly, I use glass as my palette: It is painted a neutral gray on the back.
Isn't gray always neutral?
@@NipapornP Gray can be light or dark
@@jtris01 not neutral?
@@NipapornP A very dark gray can still have the same optical affects that black can give and vice versa.
@@jtris01 Isn't gray the sum (or absence) of all colors, just with different intensity or lightness?
*Mindblown*
We don't see anything ... where is your painting? Just a little part of a draw ? Just words..;we don't make a painting with words, no?
You can't learn an instinct!
(I'm a nerd. I love your videos.)
Not the same color, fake
I took all the colors from each circle and placed them in photoshop. They are all the same.
man oh man. I love these videos. I was about to buy a color checker because I wanted one years ago when I first saw him use one, then I saw the price. Eek, does it mix the paint too? hahaha
you can make your own, in this video I explain how: ruclips.net/video/9JY-AZ48wMQ/видео.html
