Adding Yellow to Oil Painting Sunrise

Video Transcript

"Now we're going to introduce our next color which is a nice golden-yellow color and very similar to how we blended in kind of the purple's into the like the orange-pinks down to much more the oranges, we're going to overlay this gold kind of over the orange and highlights and make it especially concentrated over here. Which you can see from our photograph that's like where most of the yellow area is so where going to start off actually kind of up in these higher areas. Start to build the sky in kind of like almost like more highlights in the orange area. Looking back up here kind of keeping in mind the painting and then we're going to bring it over here and this is where it's going to get really intense now. Hold on to your seats. Big thick areas of yellow-golds here, big thick areas, lots of yellow. Bright, bright yellow, just streaking through here. Where it's going to kind of flank, we're going of flank our mountains with it. Kind of filling in all the area outside of the mountains them making sure we have plenty of yellow. Now something to watch out for and this can be a drawback of under-painting, as soon as the blue can show through and kind of make this yellow a murky green. You just have to make sure at that point that to either brighten your yellow enough to or have it be thick enough to overcome that effect. Sometimes people also leave off the under-painting right where above where the yellow is too. If you plan that far ahead that's great, otherwise, kind of fill this in. Keep blending it like we have the other layers and start working on the other colors into our yellow."
