Jason, Thank you so much for all your videos. I am a beginner painter, using oils, and I have learned so much from you! Your explanations and demonstrations always make so much sense and are so easy to understand. You are not only a great artist, but also a fabulous teacher. I just watched you video on painting shadows on white and yellow objects, and it all makes sense to me. I have one question that I wonder if you could help me with. To get started with painting, I have been using Staiger's book, "The Oil Painting Course You've Always Wanted. " She instructs to create shadow color by finding the complement of the object or of the object the shadow falls upon. I find I often get a muddy shadow in doing so. Are these two ways of creating shadow used for different effects or styles? Thanks for any clairification you can provide.
@walcottfineart50884 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching for the nice compliments on my channel! Yes, that is one school of teaching shadow color via the complement. You are correct that it would be the complement of the color of the object that the shadow is falling on. I find it's not always a hard and fast rule though. Most of the time shadows tend to look better if they are neutral, but muddiness usually points to a temperature problem. Try warming the shadow up or cooling it down and see if it helps. This probably warrants a video! :)

Walcott Fine Art , Does warming a color up mean darker? How about cooling it down. Does it mean lighter? I am a beginner and the art terms confuses me; like u mentioned temperatures or day light which also can affect the shades and tones. I forgot which color did u use for shadow next to whites? I have a class assignment to paint a lemon still life. I chose to place it with white draping. Can a dark or black-ground be ok as well? Thanks. Sorry I had a lot of questions. You are an excellent teacher. .

This is a great demo. The fact that shadows can be warm is a bit confusing. Considering your teaching skills, you should definitely resume posting instructional videos.

Shouldn't you do warm shadows with cold light and vise versa?
@walcottfineart50884 жыл бұрын
This is not a hard and fast rule. It tends to be more true with outdoor scenes, especially in bright sunlight where the shadows are definitely cool & bluish. I find that for still life, cool shadows somehow always look wrong. Remember too that "warm" and "cool" are relative terms. A shadow can still be a warm color, but just cooler than the light color. Thanks for watching! :)

Hey, can you do a whole painting from start to end of like a vase and flowers or something? Some type of still life?? Just curious how you pick an object, how you sketch it and develop it.
@mikekean80023 жыл бұрын
Hi Jason , I noticed you did not use any compliment colour (violet) for yellow in the shadows, is there a reason for this? Thanks Mike
@walcottfineart50883 жыл бұрын
I find that yellow in most cases looks better darkened with a warm color like Burnt Umber or Burnt Sienna. I will occasionally use violet if the painting calls for it, or even Raw Umber or Black for a cool shadow. There's no hard and fast rule that says you must use a complement to darken a color. It's just one way of doing it. :) Thanks for watching!

Hello Jason my name is James and I have a question I would like to ask; how can I get rid of the little sink holes that shows up after my painting dries?
@walcottfineart50884 жыл бұрын
Great question! That is solved by a process known as "oiling out". I don't have a video on that yet, but this video from Gamblin should help you out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sKx6eN2L0NvQo2g.html He uses Galkyd in the video but you can also use regular linseed oil along with the thinner, it will just take a bit longer to dry.

@walcottfineart50882 жыл бұрын
That's actually something I've never painted before! My guess is that it would have a glow around it...similar to painting a flame. The shape would be important too. Lightning bolts aren't really zig zags like you sometimes see in cartoon drawings. They are shaped more like rivers, tree branches or blood vessels. Hope that helps! :)
