I used to live in Maui for many years. > Can you give me an hour, weekly and bi-weekly rate so I can plan out ? Thank > you !! How many hours a week do you paint now? I finish a painting with 2-3 hours per day in 2 weeks. You have to know the colorwheel first. That will take a day. $100 a day. Will we use our own supplies or mine? What media do you work in? I work in and like them all. If we work on buildings, lineal perspective, you have to understand it. I have to see your work, I need to know how qualified you are. If you include a photo of your latest painting or a few of them that would help. 800pixels wide will be fine. You can do all of this in my forum, I'm signing you up now.

I wanted to look up his work. Does anyone know who this is? First name, last name, correct spelling? thanks. "1750, TECHNIQUE, Shegers, the flower painter used Strasbourg turpentine from the white pine, which is perhaps even better then Venetian balsam turpentine, it could be made in this country [USA], but isn't. Canadian Balsam is perhaps the best today, it is made from the white pine. To this he added sun-thickened nut oil, a very good combination. The support was oak board covered with a fine thin canvas, over this, eight thin layers of gesso. Eight thin layers of rabbit skin glue, chalk and lead white would dry as fast as water, the last layers are the thinnest of course. The pre-drawing was pounced on and announced with thin India ink. Caput Mortuum and egg yolk laid in his shadows, then light ocher for the middle tones. Egg tempera white painted the highlights. Now he was finished with his base painting, and ready for oil. His medium was Venetian balsam and sun-thickened linseed oil, 2:1, thinned with turpentine. Colored glazes on each flower and further heightening with white egg tempera in the wet oil glaze for details. The mixed technique. Reflections were painted in egg tempera white and oil glazed, backgrounds were strengthened, Naples yellow was used with white in the highest highlights. The shadows were deep resin-oil accents, again three distinct tones molded the form. Cool green earth oil glazing neutralized the heat when it was necessary, Vermeer painted in a similar technique."

I travel to see pages when ever I can, Santa Fe has the best exhibit. I am going to study and make art using the Bible at The St John's Abbey in July, an old way of praying Visio Divena. I will be using materials new to me. But I will be using your color wheel, I am making one to travel with. I will be using ink, gouache and casin, vellum. I will post the color wheel when finished for guidance. My best, Anne Introduction and Art Questions - Why is magenta called PR:122? http://realcolorwheel.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1241902811/0#0 Painting on Location with Real Color Wheel/Introduction and Art Questions http://realcolorwheel.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1241902811/0#0 Sat, 9 May 2009 21:00:11 GMT The AATCC (American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists) is wrong, they are using color theory from 1921 which had red, yellow and blue as the primary colors so magenta is called Pigment Red 122 (PR:122). Pigment Blue 15 is cyan PB:15. This throws off color theory 2000 right to today. Our schools still teach this old color theory, the one you and I and everyone else was taught in school. The States School Standards mandate what can and what is being taught today. Every state in the union is forced to teach that red, yellow and blue are the primary colors. While we artist and printers know this is not true though it is still being taught. AATCC Colorants are listed according to the widely acclaimed system of Colour Index Generic Names and Colour Index Constitution Numbers. A detailed record of products available on the market is presented under each Colour Index reference. You need an account number and password to use the Colour Index. The AATCC is a members only club and it costs $110. per year to view their index. I think it will take massive inside and outside pressure from schools, artists and textile professionals for them to update and change their color names. They are not too big to change. Introduction and Art Questions - Hi, my name is Don Jusko, I would like to work wit http://realcolorwheel.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1230294307/0#0 Painting on Location with Real Color Wheel/Introduction and Art Questions http://realcolorwheel.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1230294307/0#0 Fri, 26 Dec 2008 12:25:07 GMT PaulC I am currently painting puddles or water and their reflections on the micro landscape around them. I spent 3 years drawing dirt,which was very satisfying, but the puddles combine color with the very small vision, which I adore. I think too many people spend all their time working on the large vision- lakes or water, forests of trees, when what is being missed are the tidal pools, and the Hippatica below the trees. So, that is it and when I finish some I will post them, or one. Thanks for asking- no one cares about what I do because it does not sell. But selling should not determine what yur vision is- it is the magic which is you which should determine what you paint. And I could go on and on, but it is already too much. <img src="http://realcolorwheel.com/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/yabb21/smiley.gif" border="0" alt="Smiley" title="Smiley" /> <img src="http://realcolorwheel.com/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/yabb21/lipsrsealed.gif" border="0" alt="Lips Sealed" title="Lips Sealed" /> and, just a few more smiles.

The first line of the animation is the horizon line. It is also the bar tool attached to the back of the painting. I can't find the original photo of the tool, I'll have to make a new one some day. From the church itself I could measure with a straight edge the churches perspective lines and mark them on the extended horizon line tool attached to the painting. From there I attach a string to find all the angles on any building that has relationships to that building, as, any building on that block or across a parallel street. It's hard to explain without a photo of it, let me know it it makes sense. PERSPECTIVE TOOL A piece of equipment I made is used to plot two vanishing points of any building 90 degrees apart. It can be ten foot long or longer for larger paintings. A bar attaches to the back of the painting, level with and behind the picture's horizon line. It has two straight edge bars on pivots that clip onto the main bar and lock down on the perceived vanishing points of the top of the building. Sometimes times both vanishing points are off the page in a 60 degree wide picture. This tool will adjust for the earth's curvature. Match up the buildings most extreme top angles with the straight edge arms and hinge clip them onto the horizon bar, matching and lining up the angles of the straight edge bar to the buildings image. I look at the building and point to the extended vanishing points on the horizon line to the left and right in my pictures view and clip the arms on at those points. That position works now for any building in my picture with those compass aligned angles, as in a row of buildings down a street. Swinging the bar down will give you the correct angles of the windows, doors, bricks, etc. Introduction and Art Questions - Do you teach in person? http://realcolorwheel.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1181332132/0#0 Painting on Location with Real Color Wheel/Introduction and Art Questions http://realcolorwheel.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1181332132/0#0 Fri, 8 Jun 2007 19:48:52 GMT Linda Sue B. wrote: > Hi Don, > > I've just discovered a couple pages of your website and I hope you won't be annoyed that I don't read every page before emailing you to ask if you teach in person and where? > > Thank you, > Linda Sue B. > Walla Walla, Washington USA Hi Linda, I am a self described hermit. I painted on location by myself here on Maui since 1979. All that time I made artist notes on color and techniques of my painting. In 1995 I started transcribing my notes to a computer. A 2 gig hard drive was big back then. It was all about using and mixing color. From what I came to understand, I painted a color wheel that worked. All my opposite colors mixed to a neutral dark, something that would never happen since the first color wheel by Newton. Later, while still expanding my website about color, I started examining the elements of color. Science had advanced to separating the elements of color. Photographs from around the world showing the finest crystals of color appeared in libraries. I studied them and noticed the evidence of true oppositions between an elements oxides and their crystals. Like the copper element making a cyan oxide and a red crystal. These oppositions in every case, matched the oppositions in my color wheel. Taking it one step farther, the crystals darkened the same way I darkened my color wheel. Yellow to red colors turned brown, cyan to blue colors turned blue. Wow.. I had proof that my color wheel was not just made up, nature was doing the same thing all along. The problem was in seeing the relationships. Cyan and magenta were never considered primary pigments right up to the time of my color wheel. Yes, the printing process used magenta, cyan, yellow and black but because the yellow was opaque it would never make a good black without adding black. Painting was different.. My color wheel was based on all transparent colors, something that was not possible 60 years ago. Today we have the best colors available, ever. The Real Color Wheel is the real thing. Painting on location from life will always be the best form of learning. Like Doerner said, "You can't learn painting from a book anymore then you can learn to swim on a couch. But you can learn how to mix the colors and shadows you see using this new color wheel. It's a natural. Now, I'm 66 years old and just want to continue painting. I paint and add the new painting with it's painting techniques to my site. This way I can pass the information along and still paint. The free website and the CD's and DVD's I sell guarantee that my information won't be lost. Currently the site is getting 1.9M hits per month. More then I could ever reach in person. So I would say I won't be teaching groups in person, but I don't mind one on one on location. I'm still painting alone but can help one person on one painting. I could never pass on everything, the CD would still be required reading. My next planned DVD will be about my color wheel. The biggest problem is time, right now I have a plotter to print my painting on canvas using the same pigments I paint with. I don't know if this is my best move, it does take time away from painting. Thanks for asking about me.

I love oils best, watercolor and then acrylics. Way back in the early 70's I lived on Oahu. My husband was stationed at Kaneohe and we lived in Kaneohe for about a year before we could get into base housing. Our landlord was a wonderful elderly chinese man, Mr. Lu. His son lived on Maui and once a month Mr. Lu would visit him bringing back huge sacks of avocados, Maui onions and stone ground meal which he would share with me and my neighbors. Such a beautiful place and such wonderful people! I loved the time we had there.

I find it interesting that many use some of the slowest drying colors for their underpainting work (thalo blue/aliz/diaz. purple) and wondered if that's a good idea... thought it should be slower drying over faster drying. It's probably a dumb question, but it's something has been bugging me enough to come to you since I know you have experimented more than anyone else I know! It also seems the mfgs. don't cover that aspect of their products. BTW, for some reason, despite using two browsers, I only see a color chart where your messges would/should have been. Do I have something set incorrectly? Hope you've been doing great and that life is treating you wonderfully!

I was looking at your Matching Tube Pigment Colors and the RGB numbers for various pigments. I noted that some colors such as #s 01, 2a, 09 for example indicate pure colors (255,255,0), (255,0,0). I thought that no pigment color is pure and contains some gray or blackand therefore a maximum RGB is not possible.

Don: I'm making an addition here on 1-6-6) I like Handprints site, I was just there and marval at our simularities. This Quote I just read there. It's about the removel of the most important transparent yellows we have as artists. That's my opinion, not theirs. <a href="http://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/pigmt1d.html#benzimidazolone" target="_blank">http://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/pigmt1d.html#benzimidazolone</a> "Metal Complex. A small group of about a dozen azo pigments of marginal industrial significance, and (it seems) with an uncertain future in the world of artists' pigments (production of PG10 and PO65 has been recently discontinued). All combine a symmetrical pair of carbon (organic) compounds with a metal atom (usually nickel or copper). Included in this group are the azomethine metal complexes. Colors range from green (PG8) to green gold (PG10, PY117, PY129), yellow (PY150, PY153, PY177, PY179), orange (PO59, PO65), and red (PR257, PR271). Most shades are rather dull or dark in masstone, but brighten significantly in tints." Don: Nickel complex, making PG10F (discontinued) Indian Yellow Green side and PY153 a warm light brown its mass tone. Indian Yellow is the primary transparent compound. That makes Indian Yellow the most important primary yellow color pigment. Not that cadmium opaque yellow and translucient Benzimidazolone Yellow are not handy.

In the Grumbacher line I found a Thalo Violet, is that the same as Thalo Purple? Is this the cool purple? They still make the Diox. Purple. Is the Cad. Yellow colors all barium colors?

In the Rembrant I found Quinacridone Rose, not Rembrant Rose and I found Scarlet...none of them mention Scarlet Crimson. I found a Thalo Blue-Green, but the color sample is not even close to turquoise. They have several turquoises that look turquoise. They only have one vermillion and it doesn't say which vermillion it is...doesn't say Chinese.

Once you are able to paint a full color painting with the transparent primaries you can add secondaries and a few tertiaries. So you start with PY153 transparent yellow, PR122 transparent magenta and PB15.3 transparent cyan. <img src="http://www.realcolorwheel/3colors.htg/3colorapple600.jpg" name="post_img_resize" alt="..." title="..." border="0" /> These colors are pure and can make any color you can see. <img src="http://www.realcolorwheel.com/eggtempera.htg/blk5th400.jpg" name="post_img_resize" alt="..." title="..." border="0" /> The next colors just make it a little easier to mix any color, an opaque light yellow, a yellow oxide, a translucent bt. sienna to neutralize ult blue, an orange, a red light and a darker warm red oxide. Next a transparent diox. purple and opaque cobalt blue plus a clean Thalo green Y/s. That's a very complete palette. There are no dirty colors like alizarin crimson or viridian or Prussian blue, if I want them dirty I can mix them dirty. But first you have to be able to mix what you see with the correct primaries. I made a sample card with these colors in water colors, $15. The same pigments are used in any media. I would suggest you get the samples and try a small w/c painting. <a href="http://www.realcolorwheel.com/orderpage.htm" target="_blank">http://www.realcolorwheel.com/orderpage.htm</a> Then get the whole set in the media of you're choice. The Pigment Color Index Numbers like PR122 are printed on most all tubes of paint today. I give my choice of brands in W/C, oils and acrylics on this page. <a href="http://www.realcolorwheel.com/mypigments.htm" target="_blank">http://www.realcolorwheel.com/mypigments.htm</a> The Real Color Wheel will help you in this way.

Shade any color naturally with out adding black pigment. I know it sounds to good to be true, but it is. Here's page that has the pigments with the RCW numbers to match each color section. <a href="http://www.realcolorwheel.com/mypigments.htm" target="_blank">http://www.realcolorwheel.com/mypigments.htm</a> This is how and why the RCW color wheel works. In omnipresent lighting, shade lighting or in bright sunlight, daylight will give these results. Take the red tomato and it's shade/shadow color. The shade color of an object is always the opposite of the most saturated local color. The shadow color of a red tomato is cyan, red and cyan mix a neutral dark, that's the basis of the tomato's shadow. Other colors may influence it by their approximation or reflection but that will not change the basic shadow color. This holds true for every color object there is. Red and green, yellow and purple, blue and orange are opposite only on the INCORRECT Red-Yellow-Blue color theory you were taught. They do not mix neutral darks. This color wheel is based on the similarities between elements, crystals, chemicals and pigments. Crushed crystals are pigments, elements represent colors and chemical colors have the same color paths as both. The yellow crystal becomes dark brown. Do you have any pigment colors that are duel-tone in this fashion? Nickel complex is a chemical name for one of these colors, Indian yellow. It makes the primary painting triad to dark. Just know that brown (dark yellow) and ultramarine blue (yellow's opposite) are complements that represent the yellow and blue opposition. Primary cyan gets darker by adding it's opposite red, green is opposite magenta. The sun in the morning, when it is the brightest yellow, has blue shadows, when it's red at evening it has dark cyan shadows. Both are complementary sets of colors. This page is about chemical colors and their color paths. <a href="http://www.realcolorwheel.com/RCWDS.htm" target="_blank">http://www.realcolorwheel.com/RCWDS.htm</a> For the crystals and elements of color, go here. <a href="http://www.realcolorwheel.com/crystal.htm" target="_blank">http://www.realcolorwheel.com/crystal.htm</a> I hope all this helps, Aloha, Don Jusko Introduction and Art Questions - Questions I'm Asked and Replies http://realcolorwheel.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1107719037/0#0 Painting on Location with Real Color Wheel/Introduction and Art Questions http://realcolorwheel.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1107719037/0#0 Sun, 6 Feb 2005 19:43:57 GMT BirdManofOss@aol.com wrote: >Hello: > > This may seem like a silly question, but I'm having a heck of a time here... > > Got two colors on a piece of paper (acrylic), exactly what steps would one >use, what is the technique, for getting a strip of swatches of different >blends of the two colors?? > The first color is base, the second color is white (if this is a tinting strip). 10:2 swatch 10:5 10:10 5:10 2:10 If it's a shade strip the first is base color again. 10:2 (the 2 would be the complement color on the RCW) 10:5 10:10 this one should make a dark gray or black. 5:10 now you are moving toward the complement color. 2:10 Do this with yellow, orange, red, magenta, cyan and green for a very expensive full set of color swatches, called chip in the trade. > >Thanks in advance... > >Greg Yoykon >Ossining, NY > Introduction and Art Questions - Visiting from the Dark Side http://realcolorwheel.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1107285010/0#0 Painting on Location with Real Color Wheel/Introduction and Art Questions http://realcolorwheel.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1107285010/0#0 Tue, 1 Feb 2005 19:10:10 GMT <img src="http://realcolorwheel.com/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/yabb21/shocked.gif" border="0" alt="Shocked" title="Shocked" /> Hi all! I'm Madeline, and I'm pretty much a digital artist (Oh NOES!<img src="http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/hairraiser.gif" name="post_img_resize" alt="..." title="..." border="0" />), although I still dabble in my oils occasionally. Good digital art aslo eschews the usage of black, preferring to render texture and colors by using contrasting and complementary tints over a base tone. Don's color wheels and charts are something I've been seeking for quite awhile, and I'm thrilled to have found this place. I look forward to learning more about effective color use from here, and maybe even being able to contribute something back!

I am a photogragher, graphic artist and equestrian as well. I own two horses which serve as models in many of my paintings. I will included a copy of a painting of one of my horses on location in the pasture. I paint mostly in acrylics because I like the way they dry so quickly. This can also be a big problem when trying to blend colors. I have pretty much over come that obtacle and have gotten some very nice results. I am looking forward to receiving my copy of the Don's CD as I am sure it will help me further my knowledge of color and painting tremendously. <img src="http://www.realcolorwheel.com/YaBBattachments/sharonplienairpainting600.jpg" name="post_img_resize" alt="..." title="..." border="0" /> Introduction and Art Questions - a beginner interested in palettes, ocean http://realcolorwheel.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1088249027/0#0 Painting on Location with Real Color Wheel/Introduction and Art Questions http://realcolorwheel.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1088249027/0#0 Sat, 26 Jun 2004 11:23:47 GMT Hello and thank you, Don, for inviting me to join in. I have enjoyed your site and all the information you share. Are you aware of the handprint.com site? It has a ton of info on watercolor, color, perception, etc. For the site map go to: <a href="http://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/wmap.html" target="_blank">http://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/wmap.html</a> Don, I particularly appreciate the tips on painting water. I'm hope I will improve with a lot of practice but the ocean is still mindboggling to capture. Sorry I don't have any pictures of my own efforts to share yet.

I just started taking oil painting lessons. My first painting was a landscape completed during a one-day seminar. Looks good considering it was my first time. It was not done on location, that will come later this year. I happened to come across Don's web site by accident. I was very interested with his point of view regarding color. His site is superb and must have taken him much time and work to prepare. He provides so much detailed information that I decided to buy the CD for the bargain price of $35. By providing so much information and giving us so much of his time, Don has planted a seed (tith). I hope God makes him very prosperous for it. It is also surprising how fast he answers e-mails and forwards any material requested from him. I hope some day I will have the distinct pleasure of meeting him in person. My warmest regards to all of you.

Thanks for the information on how to join the site. My Name is Billy Barnard. I am from an artistic family. My mother and sister use oils. I tried oils, but was way too impatient to finish anything. Since I started using acrylics I have been painting like mad. I have finished four paintings in two weeks and am starting on another one today. The whole "paint on location" is new for me. I would like to try it. Maybe this weekend I will venture to the river and try. Anyway, since none of my paintings are on location I guess I will wait until I have something painted on location to post. I guess what's important is that I am having fun. I have put away the remote and picked up a brush.
