You should switch between before and after a few times after the exposition; this would allow the viewer to more readily see the effects of your changes.
-
It's fascinating how impactful those few strokes can be, after painting dozens and dozens of them. The illusion of painting is mind blowing. It seems that your previous video on transitional colors, goes hand and hand with this one. Thank you for yet another insightful lesson, Ian.
-
Wow! A masterclass in 10 minutes! Amazing! I need to watch this one several more times to absorb all the nuances - thanks so much Ian!
-
This is a great example of when you know something is "off" about your painting - it just needs tweaked! Your changes are so subtle that I almost need to see the before and after side by side.
-
Well…what can I say! That was so incredibly insightful and helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and sharing them with the world.
-
Great tips that would go unnoticed had you not brought to our attentions!! Looking forward to next month.
-
Consistently impressed with the higher level education you provide here for free Ian, thank you so much for your generosity! Your videos always make me feel like I've snuck into a college painting class!
-
This completely changed my understanding of the next thing I'm painting. Really opened my eyes, thank you!
-
This is one of the most helpful landscaping tip videos I’ve ever seen in my long life. It’s one thing to give students a list of rules, and quite another to demonstrate the rules right before their eyes. Bravo!!
-
Very good lesson! I have your Mastering Composition book and love it. I consider myself a professional (with some awards in juried shows and gallery representation) and I find your lessons beneficial to me! Many thanks!
-
This is super helpful. Thank you! I found myself going back & forth several times between the images, so I took several screenshots & compared them side-by-side & that helped my brain to absorb the differences. Others may find that useful also. Perhaps you might consider setting the images side-by-side after you discuss them. Love your videos!
-
Excellent. I agree with previous comment that more back and forth on changes would be helpful.
-
I think I can use this lesson in my digital art!! Thank you Sir Ian!! :DD
-
Small changes…huge differences! Fascinating!
-
Noted Ian 🫡👍 soft edges, cooler and blueish in the background. Happy Summer to you too ❤
-
fantastic! I so much miss seeing you every Tuesday, but deeply appreciate the once a month gems. Thank you for your generosity and for sharing your expertise with all of us.
-
Thank you for the several lessons on painting depth into paintings. I will keep your tips in mind as I paint.
-
Excellent demonstration. I could easily see what you meant. Who knew that could make so much difference? Thanks, Ian.
-
Love your book and your videos. But this particular video is exceptional. The visual examples demonstrate the idea effectively to train the eye to see. Thank you.
