The last thumbnail of that young woman in the red hat just blew me away! Everything about it. I asked, who executed that piece of work, but recieved no response. I'd love to see more of such complete mastery. Few & far between! Even Sargent didn't hone in that tight, yet soft. Beautiful!

Thank you Mark! Your videos are so informative and inspiring. I'm on a very tight budget, but I am going to get started oil painting come #$%& or high water. I have been practicing drawing, and playing with still life set ups, etc. About two years ago, I purchase a set of inexpensive oil paints made by Master's Touch at Hobby Lobby. My original intent for the paint was for scratch-built diorama minis. I decided I wanted to delve into the world of fine art with oil painting instead because I have wanted to learn to oil paint since the early 1980's. Budget-wise, I am going to start with inexpensive brushes from value packs. I want to begin with color studies and sketches, so I would like to use paper. I have some high quality fountain pen paper I would like to use for oil painting. I have the proper Liquitex Professional Mediums Gesso for priming the paper. However, I am also interested in priming my paper with shellac. I am thinking I would prefer shellac because it would give the fountain pen paper more tooth than gesso. The paints in the set are as follows: Titanium White, Ivory Black, Lemon yellow, Yellow medium, Yellow Ochre, Scarlet, Crimson, Ultramarine Blue, Pthalo Blue, Pthalo Green, Plant Green, and Burnt Umber. I took the plastic off and discovered the paints are made with refined flax oil. I would like to begin with the colors closest to your Geneva Essential Pallet. If you need the color info from the tubes, please let me know. I am very hopeful you will advise me. I will be following your workflows. I am a musician and retired band director, so I understand the importance of disciplined practice.
Thank you for your amazing content here on YouTube and of course, on your website.

Hello Mark, congratulations on What you have achieved, great substance you’re offering and thank you for giving your wisdom hardly earned for free, I really appreciate you and what you do.

However, there’s one thing that I would like to ask you : what do you think of Mark Rothko work ?

Have a great day !!!

[elisunday]

Mark is so great. He's like a psychiatrist for painters. Sometimes I have a string of really great paintings then I hit one where I mash up the colors, I hate the lights, whatever. Take a breath, come back to drawmixpaint, watch the advise videos and suddenly things are back on track. Breath in...breath out...watch drawmixpaint.
