About

Welcome to my YouTube channel. In October, 2019 I decided to start these regular videos. My book Mastering Composition has sold over 45,000 copies. I've received letters and emails for years from students that have enjoyed it. Last year I decided after 25 years to stop teaching painting workshops. I had taught in Provence, France that whole time, as well as Maine, Taos, Point Reyes. I loved the camaraderie. I like teaching. So the weekly videos seemed like a nice continuation. The idea of the series allows for me to range around a bit. Videos on composition. On great painters, and paintings. On technique. On artistic vision. On authenticity. Please do subscribe. Or you can sign up to receive the videos in an email twice a month. May your brushes be light and free, Ian.

Video Description

So many viewers (100,000 and counting) watched my last demonstration video from two weeks ago, I decided to do another. I elaborate on the video from last week on mixing greens and add not just the long form demonstration but show in advance how I am thinking about color mixing. Here is a list of the pigments: titanium white, cadmium yellow lemon, cadmium yellow medium, yellow ochre, cadmium orange, cadmium red light, alizarin crimson, dioxazine purple, ultramarine blue, chrome oxide green, phthalo green.
