A great painter and a great teacher, you are a “Gift”

“You don’t paint what you know, you paint what you see” 💕

I love your tutorials. You are such an amazing teacher and painter!! I have learned so much from you! I just wanted to tell you how amazing you are and how truly grateful i am that your doing this on KZfaq!!!!!

Dear Dianne, I really appreciate that you resist offering a formula for how to approach painting clouds, fog or anything else. You constantly direct the learner back to her, or his own devices, vision, value, form etc. You show how there are no short-cuts and how the only way to learn (anything really, not just painting) is to learn to critically study, to think for oneself and to begin to trust one's own abilities. (Then we'll make mistakes, but each one will be valuable since they will bring us closer to finding one's own answer to, as in this quick tip, how to paint fog.) You are a true inspiration! Keep doing what you do so well! Best, Maria (Sweden)

Hi, Dianne, I've been painting for many years but never a foggy scene. I recently took some nice photos of foggy fall scenes from the road. I have always painted what I see, but wasn't sure how to start this. Thank you so much, this was very helpful! I always enjoy your gentle, yet very informative videos.

Dianne, you are a wonderful teacher! Many, many thanks! Keep up the good work! I so enjoy hearing everything you have to say about painting! Even though I paint with watercolors, I still enjoy seeing your other videos! My grandchildren and I have been painting and they love it!

Great advice, thank you and I love your philosophy of ‘no formula’

Absolutely. I’ve learnt so much. I just wish I had found you years ago. Bless

It’s great help Dianne! Thanks a million. I totally love the way you explain in each video. Your tips are improving my painting skills in my professional artwork. All the best for you!

Just love listening to you. Puts a smile on my face.

This is a super helpful tutorial, it helped me paint out of my comfort zone! Thank you so much!💖

Wonderful teacher! Learning how to see what you are looking at is the most important part. Thank you.

Thank you very much Ms./Mrs. Mize. You are a true talent ma'am.

You are so good. Thanks for sharing your tips.

Not to be mawkish or pathetic but at the end of my life ( only a few months left) I’ve finally found a teacher who nails teaching with such skill and and the capacity to show and.. identify the the skill of “seeing” ( not easy for someone with my specific difficulty of visual perception that I feel a bit frustrated and cranky. Oh the work I could play with and the areas I could develop. Ok I’m off to resolve a painting I started four months ago and haven’t know how to fix. Yippeee!!! Thanks Dianne

I love your teaching style so much and can't believe I just found these free art lessons!

Love your videos. Love your style of teaching. I could listen to you all day....

Wow, you’re such a beautiful teacher both inside and out. I had to subscribe immediately. I really appreciate this demo!

love what you are doing, and how you explain “fog”, thank you very much!

We love you painting grandma!

Thank you! You’re helping me SEE!

A real clear explanation and demonstration. Thank you.

Love your tutorials!

Just a wonderful tutorial! Subscribed! I’m just so grateful! Big hug!

Perfect theme for the month of October thank you! We get a lot of fog here on the west coast, and I think it is amazing how much it can change a view that you look at all the time into one of intrigue. I have a video idea, how to paint fire. I have found it very tricky, and am hoping to get better at it, because it sure is a fun thing to paint. It seems to be so changeable as to what is going on in the background, and also whether it is seen in light or dark conditions.

You're a real great teacher. Thank you!!

Thank you for this tutorial as l am now wanting to paint a fog forest and this is a great help.

First I saw this I thought it was pic ..n then it turned out a realistic masterpiece!! What a painting man!!

You are a real philosopher!

What would I do without you & your guiding light ! Thank you so much.

I was sold in the first 5 seconds. New fan!!

Iced a few of these different fog painting techniques and Im still fighting with this. It never looks right for me, but I have to practice more to get it. I just can’t find that brush that works, even the mop brushes I have which are made for blending and foggy effects don’t work. They shed terribly and I’m avoiding using them.

What is the brush you are using? Love your quick tips. Thanks for your dedication to teaching

I had a lightbulb moment watching this. Thank you so much as I was having a lot of trouble with smoke and fog. I was looking at it all backwards. New sub here 🙂

you are a natural teacher, thank you

I loved listening to you right within a few seconds into the video and subscribed your channel ..so nicely and clearly explained

Hi Dianne, This quick tip is really useful, thank you. I am learning to paint in pastels and I am wondering if you could demonstrate how you would tackle a foggy scene in that media. Thanks for all your tips. Amanda in Brisbane, Australia.

Beautiful words in your intro.

Thank you so much.you are great..i dubscribed instantly when i saw and watched your videos..more power and God bless.

Do you have an instruction video on adding morning fog to low areas in a field?

Another fantastic video, thanks! My favourite teacher on youtube.

You are a amazing teacher. Thank you for a Very useful video

Youre a good teacher loved every minute

What a great way to explain this!

Thank you very much! I was looking for tips like this!

Learned a lot. Thanks. Nice tutorial

Love it!!

Diane, please help me figure out the winding road in a landscape! Mine are always off. How does perspective play a part?

Thank you for the helpful tutorial!

Thank you Dianne very helpful demo re portraying a foggy day . Caz

Again, brilliant! Thank you.

I recognize the book, Art and Visual Perception, by Rudolph Arnheim in the bookcase! Now I can't find my own copy... /. .\

Thank you!!! Can you please do a tutorial on painting realistic flowers ?

Thank you! This was very helpful.

I'm just beginning a painting of foggy London. Your tutorial has really helped me to think about and visualise what is going on in the scene I'm painting. Many thanks.

.. The mixing of adjacent values are really great😍

Miss Dianne, May God bless you and keep you. You are so precious! You are blessed!!! Thank you, Father God for Miss Dianne, who teaches us to use our gifts you gave us. Glory to God!! in Jesus Name. Amen.

This is so good, thank you!

Ha! You are like a sunny sunday morning :)

Great lesson!!!

Thank you so much

Thank you so much! I love that you get us to become critical observers. How does the value change? I didn't realize I c ok I'll make a neutral with 2 complimentary colors! So cool!! And then just to realize how soft or non existent the edges are in the fog helped too. I like how you said we need to paint what we see. It's not that we know it's green or a tree.

Hi Dianne. Great tip. Question. Do you ever use transparent white like zinc white? If so how and when do you use it. I am learning oils but have painted in acrylics for a few years and use it to layer over an area to create a haze or fog. Do you do this in oils as well? Maybe this could be a quick tip on when and how to use different whites? Thank you.

Great tips !!! love it !!!

Thank you for this! 😊

I love you as a human being firstly..then your fantastic deeds

Amazing!!! Thank you, this is really helpful ♥♥♥ I always wantet to learn, how to paint fog

Martha Fair How do you put reflections in still water and rippling water? Love your instruction. Very practical and easy to understand.

I have a finished mountain scene, but I would like to add fog. What is the best way to add fog "after the fact", if you will? Thanks very much,

Omg you are so cute 😌 just Subscribed 💫 Love your art 🎨

Thank you!

great explanation, this will be very useful, thank you :}

Thanks Ma'am 🙏

Observation! Thank you Tony...west hills, ca. usa

Is this variations of painters grey...

this was really helpful thanks :)

Its reason Amazing

wonderful

Or simply use an air brush?

thankyou so much

.. I think this tip is a long method, making fog is just a base... Anyway this is helpful for those who are new starter in painting.. 😁.. Your great🥰. Nice tip.. Though

Your camera is too far away. We cannot see how you mix it or what you’re mixing at all.

i do not see how that is fog! it looks nothing like fog..

God bless you

I once painted in a fog...🤪

Good enough I guess but not for a newbie like moi.Too confusing.

ضيعتو وقتي معاكي ياخسارة الوقت الي راح

👍👍👍

Is this acrylic?

You have very good tutorials. I love them. But, this tutorial is less than complete. Fog is more than just value and hard to soft line changes. Fog is a layering of neutral highlight-type colors that decreases what you see in the painting. The layering of obstructive neutral colors (i.e., different levels of OPACITY) over the subject matter is what creates the soft to hard lines while also shifting the values ... and maintaining both the visible and inferred subject matter of the painting.

Change your tolking style look like 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

It's foggy and miserable outside. Guess what? I don't want to put it in a painting and hang it on the wall.

sounds like Herbert the pervert from family guy

Not good explanation

Too much talking

Not parfect 😢
