I'm so happy to have stumbled across Marks videos on YouTube I have enjoyed watching them for several days now and in all my 40+ years of drawing and painting I've never heard or seen many of the tips and details you share Mark, thank you! I've been an active color consultant for most of the past decade so working with color is my forte putting it into practice as you describe is truly exciting, it all makes so much sense!
The limited palette, for a gal on a budget, perfect!
Now that I am moving back into activily producing artwork these tutorials are great.
I just have one question that is; how I can translate your method into plain aire landscapes?
I live in a gloriously beautiful part of the world and want so much to put it on canvas but I feel like using photos will limit my ability to capture the subtle nuances of the color in vegetation, etc.
Any suggestions ?

Mark has $100 DVD on his method of landscape.

I guess if not I'd better get more skilled at using my SLR camera!
Mark will probably answer this himself when he get's a chance but he's a very busy guy with lots of commitments. I can tell you the color checking and divider work as well out doors or in. For color checking, you just have to be in the same light and make sure there is no glare on your checker and Don't be under an umbrella when the landscape is in full sunlight. Since the color mixing steps take a long time I suggest you stick to indoor work until you've learned the steps. Mark urges everyone to complete five or more paintings using the steps before striking out on your own. If you're expert with mixing colors then you may not need that many. Good luck.
MJS does have short pieces of dialogue here and there.
