162 Painting with tints

In this video I use a selection of tints and tones provided by Gamblin Colors. Many artists use tints and tones as the basis for their painting and add limited primaries. This is generally referred to as tonalism.

For me tints are a way to subtly change the values of colors. I found it made subtle value shifts very quick especially when I wanted limited variations of shading such as in the clouds.


Let me know how the technique works for you.

  1. Morning, Brad.

    That painting in the video has a nice design to it. The large masses really anchor the piece and the s-curve of the trailway add some nice movement. And the texture and variegated colors through out the painting keep the eye looking around.

    Very nice work, mi amigo.
