I have spent long hours looking at oil painting lessons from artists. But, let me tell you, I have been an architect and an amateur artist (self-taught) for many years and I find Diane’s instructional videos the best I’ve seen to date. Diane’s natural ability to teach you the basics of painting and color theory far surpasses that of any other method. My art and paintings have improved a hundred-fold and I would say by magic from watching Diane’s videos. The fundamentals learned are unmatched. Thank you Diane a million times over for your patience and charisma in teaching. I will continue learning from you, watching and buying your lessons. I am taking art more seriously now that I made great strides by just just watching your videos. I am your biggest fan and I wish you the very best.

You are the best teacher that i have ever seen🌹

I have looked through 4-5 DOZEN videos trying to find this information and I was about to resign thinking it's not available because it's too difficult to teach via video. You explained it so simply and effectively that, in your second swatch, I thought "no, needs more warmth." When I realized what I said to myself, I was so excited to FINALLY understand it to point I knew what to do! Thank you very much!

I've made my living painting watercolours for 35 years so thought I'd try oils for a change, consequently watching lots of vids on youtube. I must say yours are the most helpful I have come across. Yet again you nail it beautifully here - not forgetting the casual way you use a knife, a cloth and a smart method for lifting and mixing paint that keeps the pallet fresh. Thanks.

Just found your channel, this is the first video I'm watching, and you just blew my mind regarding the systematic and logical way to achieve accurate neutrals. Thank you, very much, you have a new subscriber. Incredibly valuable teaching.

As always! Just splendid.

Thank you SO much!! I have been and will be going through all your videos- you have been SO helpful!!. Free printing and downloading the “free stuff” that goes with your videos is a rare generous and a sign of true dedication, thanks SO very much!!

Ms. Maze, Your verbal skills really help to define terms and your hands on modeling and demonstration explain the concepts in a clear and precise way. Thank you for all the effort you put in in understanding your audience and unraveling the value, color intensity mystery.

The clearest demonstration of complementary colour mixing I have viewed... thank you

Great tip Dianne!! That really simplifies things :D

Fantastic display of your working knowledge and application😀 Thank you, just what I was looking for😍

I played around with this yesterday... mind blown 🤯. I did several fall leaves. This was so awesome to do. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your teaching you give a old “beginner” meaning of life

amazing tip! thank you!

This is super useful. Thank you 💜🌹

Easy and detailed explanation, you are really a great and wonderful teacher🤩👌🏻👏🏻

Wow, you are a great teacher! You explained about mixing neutrals better than any other artists. Pls show some more mixings for painting portraits or give links to your lecture to follow them.

Great example, thank you.

Great explanation and demonstration; Neutral colors can be difficult to match. This really helps!

Magic!

Great help 👍👍

Thankyou

thanks for your clear explanation, I'm trying to download the intensity mate on your site but no way.

I LOVE THIS WOMAN

Gracias

Found it!!👍

You are my teacher for acrylics. You're the best online I've found. Could you more often, especially in this video, list the download series applicable so I could buy that one? TIA

When you mention colors it sticks in my memory. Now I am trying to get complementary colors in my set and I am buying Sap green.

This was a great help! Where do I find that color wheel to download and what was it caled. Thanks...

Wonderful.instruction. Thank you. What size and brand of palette knife are you using?

Your a excellent teacher, thankyou for this video, how can I get the little color wheels of Color intensity?

Can you please tell me what shade of red and yellow I should buy to start painting? I definite about blue to be prussian one but yellow and red is a bit confusing. There are plenty of shade available and I fail to understand which should be considered as primary?

Would it also be possible to begin with a lighter yellow? Thank you!

what is the name of the box easel you are using?

Dear Mam Pls tell us how many shade in yellow r there when mixing yellow. U have shown green in mixing but not yellow Thanks Rims1
