Love the book and videos! Elli's and John's lives have been the fire that sharpened the sword for God and the talent for Art and business. Elli seems to wake up every day and say "What If?" And so should we all take inspiration to do the same! Amazing family (including Jake!) I hope we will see more from the young siblings too!

I experience the same problem with overlapped verbal and creative acuity. Talking and creating are definitely opposite sides of the brain. I was a sculptor/designer and was often left to answer the phone for the shop during staggered lunch breaks. My boss told me later they couldn't wait to get back from lunch to laugh at my scrambled messages!

😊 Hello Ana. Its very nice to hear from you again, so sorry to hear your feeling a bit under the weather, as you put it. This is a lovely video about painting a still life in oils. I love the combination of the rose and teacup etc. I find doing an occasional Stil life helps to keep the composition tight and proportionate. Its good practice for when translating your skill to other works. Plenty of tips too. Thank you for sharing this video and for Allowing us to observe your process. Hope your feeling better soon. Best wishes and Kind regards. too.👍🖐️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Yes I practically live there when my son is admitted. I walk around the halls biting my tongue and inside of my cheeks from holding back my emotions- I look for art to keep my mind stable. For the most part it is just plaques from highest donors and contributors! Hospitals need art! Not just colorful bunnies on the kids floor but in adult areas! My son is now 30. We need Milan’s in all hospitals - especially in Philadelphia!!!!! 🙏🏼

On one of your videos about warm and cool temperature colors you mentioned if you mix a warm and a cool color together you neutralize them and get mud. Are you only mixing cools together and warms together in this painting? - (Like Magenta and a cool yellow) Did you setup your palette so the warms are together and the cools are together? I’ve been learning a lot about color temperature lately 😊

How do you keep your acrylic paints from drying within minutes? I use Windsor Newton paints and they dry just as quickly as when I put them on my palette. I’m surprised you can have them out on the palette for so long. I could use some advice. 😊🙏🏻 1:00:33

@jeanne-mareslabbert8380 Жыл бұрын

Hi. Doing a limited palette. Why do you not just do a colour wash over the painting at the end of making the painting? Like making a blue painting… paint it how you want and then go over it with a blue wash?

@milanartapp Жыл бұрын

That is a great question! So the reason why this isn't always the best idea is because say if you have undertones of yellow orange and red; the blue would then cause the painting to turn green and brown. The best way to achieve a limited color palette is to match the color you would like as you go, so that you do not have to worry about the color being changed after glazing.

@milanartapp Жыл бұрын

It is preferable to have a bristle brush, though you can of course use this method with any type of brush. Though you will find that bristle brushes have a more sturdy feeling and will give a better scumbling effect. You can find chip brushes at most home depot and house paint stores. We hope this helps!
