    11:04 I love when I hear that it’s not the tools that make the artist but the skills. Those painters hundreds of years ago had basic things but created masterpieces we still enjoy today.

      ​@JerrysArtarama I almost subscribed thinking this was your channel. I'm new at painting but had been a hairdresser for 30 yrs taught me about the color wheel and how colors react to natural things like hair. Colors are endless. Thank you for the tutorial, thoroughly enjoyed it.
      I stumbled across the video while trying to decide what to paint on my masterbath walls. Perhaps trees would be nice but honestly I live in a forest on Lookout mtn AL so looking out any window i see plenty. But I have to say I love your tree you painted. So sad to in live in the concrete jungle of NYC.
      There's nothing better than getting your hands in the dirt to grow your own food. Nothing from any store tastes like nor is nutritious. Walking through the forest with the horses in nature is the best.

    I was told in my Art classes that I should never use black. Being a new artist at the age of 46, I didn’t challenge the concept. I was told that black conveys the absence of any color and leaves the painting with a void feeling. Thanks for the liberating knowledge!!

      I am a digital graphic designer. My painting teacher (since before computer era) taught us using 4 colours: cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Those are also the basic colours used by printing houses (there are also special colors, those have codes and have to be used as a separate printing layer). Long story short: using CMYK can create any colour except neon colours, ofcourse. Black is a must when painting on canvas with these 4 basic colors or creating digital art for print, also using CMYK.
      A delicate shade of gray, using about 5-8% black (K) has the elegance of silver. Paint just one delicate object or wrte something using a delicate, elegant caligraphy and it will become a genuine visual jewel.

    black and cadmium yellow light and medium have always been my go to base for greens in natural greenery. Add umbers and siennas as needed. These greens are so wonderfully delicate. I learned this when I was 11 yrs old…I am now 84. Became a designer and colorist for many years. Still paint a little. Yes, I taste color, too. Just like cooking. Unconsciously. I work instinctively, without really thinking, with one or two brushes. I can match any color.

    I was in a normal school and our art teacher told us not to use black. We asked the question "why?" and the answer was not too bad, I think. He said, because it doesn`t exist in nature.
    But we also learned white and black are NO colours, so your explanation of black being a colour (you make a colour choice) is an eye-opener and very helpful.

    🎨 I use the term "play" a lot in painting. It has bothered some artistic people around me. To me, it means experimenting with an open mind and heart. It's a most joyous time and learning time for me 🎨

    • @spiritwardiaries
      @spiritwardiaries 3 месяца назад +1

      Love that❤. For me it's easier to play when I purposely buy cheaper paints or canvases so I'm not thinking about how much it cost me to experiment. I bought some of the cheapest acrylic paint that comes in those squeeze bottles in the craft section and made some of the most amazing landscapes and sunsets 🌇 I gave them all away as gifts and people seemed to really enjoy all the paintings I made just from playing around. Now I'm making a series from everything I learned thanks to just letting go and not thinking about everything so much.

The teacher seemed so judgmental, and the students seemed in competition with each other. It wasn’t the kind of environment I wanted to be in, besides, I was majoring in nursing. However, life still brought me down the artist path. Anyway, I enjoyed the lesson and your philosophy. I’m excited to be a new subscriber.

    wow! I am only 20 minutes in, but had to pause to say "wow", such interesting information regarding the origin and names of these pigments, e.g. Raw Sienna vs. Burnt Sienna! Who knew?? and of course, how interesting about black and how it mixes, and also Lamp Black and Ivory Black name origins. I am totally enthralled. I have always been a bit of a nerd when it comes to the detail facts, so I am loving this. And I am realizing just now, how fabulous the presentation is too! I'm sure another teacher might not come across so interesting. Thank you!!

    I love teaching colour theory. The colour tint charts begin on day two using a 5-colour pallet, & complimentary mixing charts. These tools help beginners get close to the colour they want to create, and are really great to begin daily practice with. Ohhh the feel of the pallet knife slicing thru a new thick blob of paint, smooshing it into the tempered glass surface. The creamy firmness as you spread it into the canvas (I recommend canvas sheets for easy transport.) I’m going to get me paints out, my dad’s Joseph Albers Colour Theory book and play!

      Painting is an expression. Mess up then work it out or ignore it, on the spot or later.
      Our emotions flow as deeply or is lit up just the same as our paint achieves the onward experience of playing upon our own joyful brush-strokes journey.

    I am "learning" watercolor and the motivational motto for me is 'it's just paper". From here forward it will be " it's just paint and paper". I don't think that the medium makes much difference, whether it's oil, water or pastel, it's all about color and finding the mood that we are trying to convey.
    Thanks again, I think I'll go mix some colors now.

    'every choice is right if it works for you'. This is very true regarding teaching and making our own art and a philsophy worth 'subscribing' to. And yet experience and knowledge helps give us more available choices. The tutorial here is very good because it shows us more options. The thing is, I have mixed black and yellow before to produce green, but did not think too much about it beyond intuitiveness. So to have this demonstrated is really helpful, because then you have this new language to apply and choose from.

    Thank you John; Bob Ross would tell you it’s your world when and how you paint. He said, there are no mistakes only happy accidents. Your sharing color mixing but in my childhood crayons is how I learned to mix colors going from 8 to the 48 then 64 crayon colors. I did a portrait of each teacher. Black was my outline color in many childhood pictures. When I was criticized by other classmates it effected my freedom of expression. That is why Andrew Wyeth home schooled his children to protect his children’s creativity. So I agree with your philosophy about painting and color mixing rules! Thank you for sharing.👍🎨😊

    Growing up I was in every art class available. Even in high school I took every art class available even getting into advanced art that you had to be selected to. After HS I even attended the now defunct Art Institute of Dallas for 2 years. All that to say I’ve learned more in just over an hour from you than every art class I’ve ever taken. Thank you. I can’t wait to watch all of your posts.

    When i started out I didn´t use black because I was told so. I also didn´t know why so I broke the rule and just looked what results I could achieve. I learned to use it sparingly. Using it to mix green is great because most other greens are way too bright for a realistic painting. I also learned to save my darkest and brightest values for the final touches.

    WOW, you really started speaking my language when you said, "we use expensive pigments to make black, which is an expensive pigment"! I am about to buy some more paint and am out of black. I was hesitating over whether or not I needed it, but YES, I do. 😃
