The Dim Paint Tutor

Contrary to rumors I have not died. I haven’t done much painting either. I’m trying to get back to art as usual, but the move across the country threw me some curve balls. In the meantime however, here is a pic of my latest work. Happy painting!

Here you are my friends, Wet-Blending DimLad style. I hope this video, and my cheat for making wet-blending a little easier, help you master this skill. Happy Painting my friends!

Wet Blending DimLad Style I created this tips video for people who are either new to the technique, or those who are having trouble getting those smooth airbrush-like transitions. I s...

What's your blend? I've filmed, gotta knockout some English homework so I'll edit tonight or tomorrow.
I hope the cheat I share helps you find your wet-blending A-game!

The cable setup I have for my camera is not working the way it's intended to, but I have one on order from Canon that should fix the issue.
In the meantime I'm exploring a work around so that I can a the very least do my tutorial on wet-blending. Apologizes for the further delays.

Alrighty my friends, the time is afoot. When I started this little side project I didn't expect instant engagement from so many people...thank you for that!
So I decided that if I'm going to do this properly I had to upgrade from my cell phone in my airbrush mount to a decent quality setup. I just need to get everything working together smoothly & I'll start adding more content...starting with the wet-blending video I dropped the ball on. Thank you for your continued support & I'm truly looking forward to hopefully helping you up your hoddy game🤓

So I've mentioned getting some tech, I'll be making some purchases over the next couple weeks, & here's what that means for you folks.
I will soon be offering "paint with me" sessions & group/private classes, better quality tip vids, & more!
The rewards for your patience with this hastily put together project are forthcoming my friends 😉

I'm so excited to get my school-related tech! For those of you who don't know, this vid basically shows what I'm working on a degree in.
For my mini folks that means some original Tom creations lie ahead for y'all to print & paint😉 Ultimately the goal is to work in creature creation, & I love mythology, so there will be some cool stuff ahead for your painting enjoyment....cheers!

For those who are wondering, I will be continuing this project, but the studio is going through some adjustments & I'm working on some upgrades...namely to camera equipment.
For the time being however I will continue to find and share things that I believe will help you with some basic artistic concepts that can be used in your painting.

I know I've been slacking lately, & I apologize. But, at the same time I have noticed a lack of engagement with the things I have posted, so I kinda feel as though I'm talking to myself with this project & have considered ditching it all together🤔 This is something I don't get paid for & it takes away time from the things I do get paid for....& I've got about a thousand of those projects, probably literally a thousand!
So, if you've found the information here useful & would like me to continue this project for your benifit, please give this post a like so I know I'm not just converting O2 into CO2 for nothing.

The camping trip was good, a little wet, but it put just that much further behind. So rather than reinventing the wheel I'll just share someone else's wheel😉
I explained making a color was, this video does a great job of explaining how to mix colors to a desired shade, & how to not "muddy" them up in the process.

All these years you've been lied to about color....this article explains why & what the true primary colors are.
You may be asking, well why is this important Tom? The answer is simply, "Once you know the truth about color, you can lighten & darken without causing the desaturation or pasteling effects." Ultimately making using the color wash technique I shared more effective, as well as getting better looking highlight colors. It also has the added benefit of reducing your need for 75 different paint colors, & overall reducing hobby cost!

Did your primary school teacher lie to you about color? At primary school you were taught that there are three primary colors: red, yellow and blue, and that you can mix these to make all other colors. This is not true. Or rather, it is only a rough approximation to the truth. My recent article, published in the Journal of Perceptual Imaging, digs into t...

Is this video series "entry level"? Not really. Do I believe it would be beneficial for everyone of you to watch? Most definitely!
Sergio is a phenomenal painter/teacher, much better than I, & listening to him explain his process, listening to him talk about color may just help something click in you; I know I learned several things watching this one video series, & I believe all of you will as well.
