Painting Skills Right Now \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes the most simple painting techniques can unlock a world of possibility…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor example:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you learn how to mix your colors the right way, you can create incredible “warm” and “cool” tones that tug at your viewer’s heartstrings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe right color harmony can make a painting vibrate and create a deep emotional connection with your viewer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, working with and mixing your paint colors is one of the most important skills you need to have as a painter … and yet so many people unknowingly get it wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is one of the most common reasons painters get frustrated. The painting isn’t coming together, and they cannot figure out why — when all along, it may be lacking color harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you make the wrong color

connection…\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e…and all of this creates disharmony in your work and makes makes things appear “off” to the viewer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd if that wasn’t enough, it’s also overwhelming to sit down and look at all those different tubes of paint and ask yourself, “Where do I start?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter all, you may think that more tubes of color are helping your painting, but it could be that it’s impossible to find harmony with too many colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHas this ever happened to you?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf so, the acclaimed landscape painter John Pototschnik has a surprising solution:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimit your palette!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt may sound simple at first, but this is the key to building a strong foundation for creating impressive paintings — no matter what your style or genre is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHere’s how it works:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart out with three primary colors only: alizarin crimson, ultramarine blue, and cadmium yellow pale…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e… then you mix your additional colors the correct way by using different combinations of these primary colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou see, if you spend just a little time creating a color wheel with different shades mixed from these colors, you can refer to it over and over and always “find your way” to the right color for anything in your work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of the shades in your painting will create a sense of harmony because they’re derived from the same primary colors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo if you take the time to learn the fundamentals of working with a limited palette, you can mix and paint with colors in a much more masterful way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, it’s no exaggeration to say that this is one of the most exciting discoveries you can make as a painter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBut this is not something you can easily learn from a

So often painters are using their bodies to paint — arms, wrist, eyes — but they are locked in their head and they forget that painting is an integration of body, mind, observation, and an individual’s creative spirit. Bill’s approach to painting gives one the tools for that integration.

He’s had struggles with different aspects of the painting process, but Bill worked through them. And he conveys how that happened for him, then Bill gives you those tools so you can approach painting with more confidence, freedom to explore, and what’s best is that you can start to make painting more fun.
