Quick Tip 312 - How To Do Something

Another subscriber asks how to paint something. Artist/art teacher Dianne Mize demonstrates how to paint everything.

Thank you, Dianne for always teaching us 'how to fish' (HA). The general techniques and interpretations of the image are so much more helpful than learning how to paint a specific piece.

I love your thought never would have imagined to paint the sense of rocks behind the falls; rather I would have attempted to add the shadow to the water itself. It makes so much more sense to build, and ‘set the stage’ you!

Great video! I realize now just how much I've been lacking the 'thinking thru things" part of creating art. My thoughts that typically rattle around in my noggin usually have to do with trying to get the shapes and proportions correct, or the composition to make visual sense. Boy, there's a lot of thinking I've been missing out on! Thank you so much for your demonstrations like this! Love you!

Great demo! Great explanation for stumble. I often hear artists mentioning scum le and missing the colors. I’m glad you clarify it. Lovely way to build a waterfall without difficulty. Thanks so much. Take care, blessings and be safe.

Your Quick Tips are really a blessing. I was viewing QT 270 Tetrad Schemes and it prompted 2 questions. With a picture like your example, how would you, choose the focal point and how do you reuse, keep your extra paint, not used?

[famschurgers]

Diane, can you do quick tip on reflections. Wat are the rules on painting reflections of things and people in windows? Darker lighter? What if it light on the other side or lighter? It appears to be in the same high exactly behind the subject... etc. That kind of stuff. Thanks in advance, Paul

Thanks all your tips are so helpful.
I do have a request could you do a quick tip on bird in oil paint. I see mostly people choose to paint them in water colour or pastel.
