New Color Mixing Demo

I couldn't leave you all without a lesson so I got up early to figure out a fix to my technical problem from last night (Monday).


Enjoy! I'm on the road today, I'll try answering questions but if there is a little delay that is why.


Thanks!

Appreciate this Michael, esp. your demonstrating how you think about what you are seeing and then make the brush or knife imitate the appearance of the subject -- wispy strokes for wispy fur -- plus manipulating the thickness or transparency of your color note to get closer to the perceived value. Anytime you hit upon, in practical do-it terms, the distinction between academic and impressionist techniques, it's a boon for me.

Thanks, really liked this color mixing demo, very helpful!

Thanks so much. This is very helpful. I have taken classes on Munsell before and find myself so frustrated. I have found mixing as I go is easier. I would love to see more of this. It helps when you call out the colors you are mixing. I love the different brush techniques you show. I am trying to loosen up my brushwork. Thanks again! Ps. I bought the Brilliant Pink and it was just what I needed for a rose painting.

Enjoyed the color mixing. I have learned so much from your method. It has changed the way I paint and I’m not so aggravated with my pallet I can paint a bunch of stuff all day and still my pallet is pretty organized and fairly clean. Thanks again.

Appreciated the new video! And the variety of things you demonstrated. Thanks! (And first time I’ve heard of Caribbean blue, which looks useful…)
