Oil Painting: How to Mix a Rich Black (And Why You Should)

Amanda Fried
Paying it Forward
I've recently had the pleasure of working with an art student who came to me 9 years ago while she was a freshman in high school. Amanda studied with me for 4 years and after graduation went on to pursue a career in the arts. This summer between semesters, Amanda asked if she might intern with me.

What a wonderful delight to have her back in my studio but this time working with her to create visions of mine while sharing the ins and outs of running an art business with her.

New Videos for New Students
Amanda and I have been spent the past two weeks joyfully creating my New Student Orientation Videos for Oil Painting.

I make these 15 videos available for each new oil painting student who signs up for my art classes — and I've also provided them for my current students for review purposes. (If I missed sending you the link, please let me know).

"I can't thank you enough for making these videos. 
I am so beneficial from the clip #12 to #15. 
Very appreciated your time and effort!!
And the clips are very clever, short, simple, and easy to absorb."
~ Cynthia (current intermediate art student)

Why would you want to mix black when you can easily squirt out a black that's already available in a tube?
This short clip shows you how to create your own rich blacks and just one of the many answers to the above question. More are available in my classes and there are soooo many reasons to choose a rich black over a tube black (just ask any of my students).

Next week we're beginning work on a series of new art videos for watercolor students! Whoo-hoo!

Thanks Amanda for helping my dreams to come true!
