The details are icing on the cake, done by honing in to first, shadow areas which rarely require any details at all, then the not-in-shadow areas. Usually, details are seen more clearly in the transition (terminator) areas where shadow meets light.

I saw two different approaches to the blocking step. The first one put almost everything in shadow and star working the lights and mid tones over it. The user of this process argue that in that way he can show deep on the painting, like in the branches that are farther away inside the tree. In the other process, the painter block his work in a mid tone value of the area of the painting he wants to represent, whether in shadow or in light an later he add the darker and lighter values. I would like your comments or evaluation of this approaches and how do you think the finished painting is affected as compared to the approach you just explained in the video. Thank You for sharing your knowledge and time.
@IntheStudioArtInstruction3 жыл бұрын
It's a personal choice. If the painters know what they are doing, it will not be evident in the finished work which approach was used. The important thing is to have a sequence of application that works for you.

Hello Dianne, Not to change the subject but I have a question that is bugging me and probably has been asked many times. I am teaching myself to paint by viewing other artists, a lot of practice, repetition, and trial and error. Right now I am using acrylics. My biggest challenge appears to be blending colors and shades smoothly. Maybe in your opinion and also in the general artist community as a whole, do you think using oil provides the most versatility and in the end if you want to be a great artist you may want to consider moving to oil eventually? Not always, but seems like the most advanced painting I view, most artists are using oil. Thank you.
@IntheStudioArtInstruction3 жыл бұрын
Taylor8492, it is not the medium that makes a great artist. It just happens that oils are getting a lot of attention, perhaps because a lot of plein air painters are using oils. What's important is that you relate to the medium you're working with, that you understand its potential and how to use it to express your work.
@taylor-vl1re3 жыл бұрын
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Thank you Dianne. I have a lot of acrylics so I will work with those and maybe try other mediums later. Your instruction has been invaluable to me. Painting was initially too stressful ( not good) because of just guessing and trial and error. Now I am having fun thanks to your instruction. It provides a strong foundation, thought process, and procedure. I am actually going back and fixing a lot of my older paintings. Your website is packed with tons of useful information, and yes, I will be joining on. Thanks again.

@IntheStudioArtInstruction3 жыл бұрын
When you are first learning, it is a good idea to aim for the color you are seeing, but once you learn how to mix color and how to control it, enhancing or editing what you see to make a different expression of it is something we enjoy doing.
@jillrobbins44883 жыл бұрын

TY for this very informative video. My question is, AFTER doing the blocking, how do you detail it?
@IntheStudioArtInstruction Жыл бұрын
Yes, Elvira. Blocking in just sets the color and value structure, making it easier to add the details within that structure. By setting the value/color structure first, we can more easily create a well-composed painting.

Completey off topic, but I've recently switched over to water mixable oils - and I have to say, I'm doing rather well with them bar a few adjustments, of course. They're under the same family tree as Rembrandt so they're of decent quality, I just wonder if you've ever used them?

I'm still trying to block in, but this procedure doesn't seem natural to me at all. However, I try again and again (unsuccessfully), but I find that I don't even enjoy it this way. Could it be related to the fact that I prefer alla prima? Or should I keep trying, despite the resistance and getting worse results than if I don't use block in this way?

If it doesn't feel natural, don't force it. The important thing is that we use the principles, but the technique is an individual choice.

@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Thanks, I'm trying to learn the principles, because it seems I can't take over the technique completely. Unfortunately, this means discovering my own best way and it will probably take a long time and mean many failed attempts. But a lot of "little things", such as how to paint waves, clouds, leaves, grass, etc. is very helpful to me. Many thanks for learning! Before I discovered you and started watching your videos, I was a self-taught painter and I really appreciate it! Have a nice day! I also greet the cats, who sometimes meow cute during the videos.

@@petral8823 How you describe your situation sounds so much like my own. In my case, I found that I am dyslexic, with what I see switching both back and forth AND up and down. I was chatting with my doctor, describing my difficulties painting the way you have, and he suggested dyslexia. It’s taken many years of struggling and failing, and KZfaq’s like this one to create my own mindset, untangling what I think I see. Shapes are still a problem, painting bad over good is a problem as well. But now I know if this is happening, I’m likely tired, and I skipped the steps described in this video. Sometimes I have to take an almost “paint by numbers” approach to work past problems. Once I have a little good muscle memory I’m able to put my own spin on the image. I feel your pain - I hope you make whatever progress you’re seeking.
