I've never seen ANYONE like you on KZfaq. I feel like I'm one on one with my very own teacher. You are such a treasure!!!

What a great teacher. Passion for her subject, an eye for detail and a genuine interest in conveying information. Bravo, Dianne.

I love all your Quick Tips , Dianne. Your video classes are amazing too! You are a very generous and passionate teacher.Thank-you!

every single day I come to you tube to watch you teach me something! You're great! I'm retired and have always painted but you make me see painting from a true artist's perspective.

I love this tutorial! I adore Sargent's work and to get a glimpse into his way of using colour is such a treat. The way he painted light is just breathtaking but Dianne's eagle eye unravels the mystery! Just wonderful and so inspiring!

Thank you Diane! Your instruction made my day better！

As I was watching this I couldn’t help but notice subtle blues and greens in your hair. Very beautiful and inspirational. Thanks for the video.

Thank you Dianne for the great information!!

What a pleasure to watch. All the tips are priceless. Any knowlegde imparted is a treasure for any artist who have a desire for painting. Thankyou

Love the tip of matching the value before modifying the hue. The post-it glue to keep the isolator in place is so simple and really will help!

Thank you Dianne for all these great painting tips! You get right into the demonstration and clearly show the techniques, which are easy to understand and follow. The best videos on KZfaq for understanding basics and beyond of oil painting!

Ms. Mize, this is exactly what I have been practicing lately. It is the only way to capture what you believe you see! our eyes are deceiving when it comes to color matching! You are a wonderful teacher!

What a wonderful tutorial. I have watched this before but frequently revisiting your lessons feels like “coming home”. And I remember feeling the familiarity from your previous and always come away with something new - It doesn’t matter how many times I watch, there is always something new! Thank you for sharing your time and amazing talent.

You just answered one of my biggest doubts in painting. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for one of the most wonderful learning moments I have had in over 7 years. You are an amazing teacher! The method you presented using the small window and the extra piece to compare and match colors was fantastic. Thanks again.

...apparently 54 people stuck around just to give a thumbs down to this wonderful video... must be finger painters

That's the best explanation (and maybe the only) of Sargent's colorization. Thank you!

I am learning so much - and just what i was needing to learn: how to mix colors. Thank you so much.

WOW this has to be one of the most wholesome channel I've ever found on youtube.

Dianne, I'm so glad I found your channel. You are amazing! Thank you!

Yes, Dianne, a huge thank you for this lesson! You are a wonderful teacher.

Compliments, I love your courses and the way you explain and show us. Merci Mme for these Pecheurs d'huîtres

I loved this quick tip. I’m always interested in getting the right color/value. Thank you for the help you give so many of us.

Thank you ..... you make me think more closely to color.

Ive been working through all the quick tips. I still have a heap to go but I am going to begin your video lessons this week. Best wishes. You are a talented and generous teacher. I think it is your husband who tapes these videos and I want to say thank you to him too. I feel so blessed that I found your channel. I was so stuck with my painting and your instructions and encouragement have built my tool kit and skill set so much. I feel like I have a solid direction in my art and my art education. God bless.

Dianne, you are an inspiring teacher, thanks!

Dianne I think you are a wonderful inspiring teacher thank you for sharing your gift with us xx

Just read your book Finding Freedom. Absolutely fascinating and so full of excellent information I’ve never read before. Thank you!

I feel so elightened now. Thank you sister Theresa.

Your quick tips are very precious lessons to me. I started a year ago with painting. Now I'm 65 and with every lesson from you I discover more and more painting secrets and I'm afraid I started much too late to reach a satisfying level of painting skills. Anyhow, thanks a lot for your great tips.

Excellent color study. Love the little window idea, splendid!

So glad I found you. Great info.

This is brilliant, thank you so much!

I'm just in the middle of my room, in the dark.. making studies as I practice aside, thinking if it is worth it, finding this is so helpful and cheering.. great teaching.. great study thank you a lot!, cheers from México..

Thank you for your clear articulation and demonstration.

great teacher

I feel a strong rush of ecstasy as I m watching this lady I wish to live at least one week with her 🌿🌿🌱🌱

wonderful lesson! I enjoyed the tutor's voice and the instructions for the learning methods were very clear!

Wonderful technique. Thanks for posting this Dianne!

Love your videos! Thank you

Wow! You’re a wonderful teacher. I’m looking forward to watching everything you have done. Just looked at your website and your paintings are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gift.

Excellent video, very insightful. Sargeant himself is known to have made some large copies of Valasquez' paintings. He was also known to have spent a lot of time mixing the paint on his pallet and compairing the colors to his subject ( compared to the amount of time working on the canvas).

Wonderful lesson! Thank you Dianne!

Great tip! Thank you.

never knew about the colour wheel/grey info - thanks!

Beautiful lesson, took so much from it! Thank you.

Wow! Love this! I'm trying to copy Lady Agnew...I might as well have taken on Michael Jordan 1 0n 1.....but this insight will help!

:-) Love this demo, you are generous with your visions and methods. Thanks from the little old budding artiste

This was so insightful. You are an amazing artist and instructor.

How do you not have more subscriptions!? This is a fantastic channel!

Very interesting. Excellent tip. Thank you very much!

Thank you very much for the wonderful tips. Merry Christmas and happy new year.

Just noticed that you're using Singer Sargent's "Oyster Catchers" painting. It's a fascinating painting. It's got that WOW factor as soon as you see it - WOW ! Sargent was a brilliant artist, no doubt about it. I liked it so much I made my own copy of it in acrylic paint. It's come out quite well. It's not easy to copy that's for sure. When I'm working with acrylic here in Thailand the very hot climate dries my paint in less than ten minutes after it goes on the canvass. I can't spend any time producing a line of tints because they dry far too fast. Yes, I know about the retardent, but it's always a struggle to work quickly enough to get the job done. If I spent ten minutes matching one tiny area of a painting 700 x 500 mm I'd be working on it for the next thirty years. As it was it took me about three weeks. In order to match my colours I painted a piece of card mid grey and then covered it up with transparent cellophane. I then paint the cellophane and place that right next to the painting. The neutral grey of the card help me to see more accurately the colour. White obviously is OK, but I find grey is better for me. When I've filled up all around the edge of the cellophane I simply replace it with a new piece of cellophane Have a quick look at my copy of the "Oyster Catchers" and give me your opinion. I'd be very grateful - www.100temptations.com/copy-of-wtf-01-with-video-4 Kind regards - Chris in Thailand

You are one great teacher!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge ! :) great exercise to hone ones painting skills!

What a woman. Respect.

Very helpful with using limited colours. Thank you

10:15 "ahhaa..." sound was great :))

thankyou very much that was very informative. Great to hear the inner painters monologue articulated; 'Aha!' 'Think thats pure white? Betcha not!'

I would go to your art classes. I need more friends like you

Amezing lesson Thankyou so much ❤️

using a midtone grey card rather than white card would make it easier to judge the value - like the grey tone of your palette

He was a wonderful painter.

Amazing !

Thank you.

Excellent explanation. Love your classes, I am learning a lot from you. Thank you!

Bless you...

Sargent's methods are on record. keenewilson.com/page/2947/john-singer-sargents-painting-techniques One thing he never did with oils was to mix paint on the canvas. If he got a touch wrong, he wiped it off and did it again. It is said that once when he was painting a commissioned portrait, he scraped and wiped out the face 30 times before he eventually got it all in one _premier coup_ go at it.

I am learning so much from your videos, they are always full of pertinent information and inparted in a clear and concise manner, thank you. I don't paint in oils because of allergies. While watching I am envious of the value lines of the colours. Are there any tricks for doing something like to this in acrylics and watercolors?

Great advice. Thank you.

wish she could have zoomed in to actually see the hues of sargent's painting.

Thank you so much.

Wonderful idea. This could be adapted to other artists’ paintings.

Diane i love your tutorial lessons. So practical and on the money. I have a problem with this one though. Its reliant on a printed reproduction that you put on yoyr easel. How do you know if the Print is true to the painting? Most pribts i get are not exact. Many times quite a way off. So yoyr copying a colour that may well be wrong. Have you found a eay to overcome this? Cheers.

Fantastic Dianne! Could you please suggest which one of your courses would be a great place to begin landscape painting? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Mona

Im sure this has been asked a million time before, but how do Dianne's paints not dry out in that box?

I like Sargent Painting too !!!

Very nice instructions.

Good one

Brilliant

cameraman must learn to zoom

Love all of your quick tips and especially this one. How did you make the square paper sticky?

Muy buenos tips. Felicitaciones

I would love a quick tip on painting fire.

Wonderful instruction- thank you. The framing of the shots was so frustrating but thank you anyway

Hi Dianne great video. Can you tell me why your palette was a swatch using Alizarin Crimson and not Cadmium Red? I want to use a limited palette and cant decide. Thanks

Awesome

Dear Dianne your enthusiasm and verve have recharged and inspired me. I'm so glad I met you! Where can I sign up for classes? I'd love to see a Quick Tip on how to mix realistic skin tones and/or apply shadows to skin (and learn which colors to use for that). I'm struggling with that currently so I'd love your advice. Your fan in Toronto, Nina

That's a painting lesson!

can you rest your paint like this on your palette ? I'm just asking my self when looking at all your colours sitting on site...

Do you perhaps have a tip on painting beach sand and dunes ?

Очень интересное решение.Спасибо!!!

Thanks You.!

Great lesson. People often wonder: "who could possibly vote this down". Well maybe a a few over amped scholars, but really, it is just random movements of the cursor that trigger a mistaken thumbs down.

I love your instruction, but this particular video maybe needed to zoom into the subject a lot further. It was way too small for me to see what you were matching.

...3 years later...

tell the camera guy to zoom in to the canvas...CAN'T SEE ANYTHING!!!!

我有困難也没有問过你拿

Cannot see the sparkle because the videographer is not going in close enough for the audience to see what you are trying to point out. he or she needs to think more about the audience viewing the video from perhaps an IPad or small laptop. Enjoy your teaching very much.
