4. Hi John! I love all your work, I did have a question. The whites and overall paintings lately for seem to run a bit cyan-green, there's a distinct color cast that isn't bc of my monitor, and I wondered if either your camera is accidentally set at fade, chrome, or somethjng like that, or if there's fluorescent lighting in the room. I experimentally color corrected for it and the whites look clean and your paintings look even better, which we wouldn't think is possible, bc they are awesome;) Thought I'd ask, maybe check the camera? I say that bc mine slips to other settings on me when I shoot my paintings, and has done on others I know, I accidentally brush the setting to "fade" or "instant", etc., and I can go back and just set it back to "none" on setting and my paintings look as I painted them again...just an idea. It took me awhile to figure out why mine were looking so cyan-blue when I shot them, when my paintings weren't. My vids were fine. Them I saw the setting had switched on me.... Btw, you're amazing they way you can just paint in a horse with all the details. You have great sight for details in all things.

   1. thank you for that Miss Kim... I think it's all in the color of my room. It bounces to the painting and the problem is my video camera is using only auto white balance... that's why I only edit it in post production... I think I need to change the color of my room.. 🙂

   2. Oh, I see, yes, that definitely makes sense! I have colorful walls as well, I wouldn't paint over them for anything:) Haha, maybe just a pinning up some white sheets for filming, but then that's an expense, they aren't cheap, and that's a hassle. Wonder if a bit of magenta or magenta-red transparent film over the lens or something would bump it to neutral a bit. Just musing aloud. It has me curious. I'll have to experiment myself with that, maybe make new, weird-colored vids myself;) Anyway, your vids and work are just great, I'm always amazed at how you are able to see just where to work in all the layers and layers of color and detail, and it comes together so beautifully. You have good sight for that. Thanks for making the vids. I learn a lot from them:)

   4. Thanks, John, hey I just thought of maybe making a little space for shooting with white shower curtains from the dollar store if you live in an area with them, that's an inexpensive experiment. Anyway, thanks again, I'll keep learning from you. Thanks for taking the time to respond:)

   2. No problem. I understand if you can't answer but, I'm about ready to give up. I'm new to painting. Whenever I try to blend the paints to make like the sky going down to lighter for like the water, either the paint stays thick in one or a couple of spots or it comes back off. I've tried putting gesso on the canvass. I've tried lightly spraying the canvass with water, which ends up leaving white spots on the canvass., I've tried a couple of different mediums. I am using good brushes but I'm using an inexpensive paint because I'm new at this and cannot afford to use the expensive paints while practicing. It's so frustrating, that today I went and bought three tubes of the golden paint. Hoping because there is more pigment in it it will go on better. It does seem kind of thick so I'll use some water. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thank you and God bless.

   3. It's normal when you are starting to paint and don't have knowledge yet on how to handle the brushes and paints... I encourage you to keep experimenting on how to use the brushes and proper amount of water to mix on your acrylic paints. It's honestly hard at first but just keep doing it and enjoy so you don't stress yourself. You don't have to use expensive acrylics to practice. I am only using reeves and liquitex basics. You can apply 2nd coats to improve the quality. I have here the links of the traceables on my facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/jmlisondraArts/photos/a.1566036936991836.1073741828.1553174781611385/1777825092479685/?type=3&theater
