Add a little medium like galkyd or neo megilp (my favorite). That will add some 'oil' and keep the whites from looking dried out... ie... chalky. Titanium whites, depending on brand, can be a bit dry due to the oil either separating out of them, or they might have been ground with less oil to start with. The term "chalky" used to describe color mixed with white, is a different subject. In that case, it's usually because there is not enough warmth, red or yellow, in the white mixture, making it too "cool", to blue. Thanks for the question.
This medium length is good, so are the shorter ones...I don't mind a variety of lengths and agree with Paula - easier to watch right away. The cloud reference photo is so complex and it's helpful to see how you work your way to the essence of light and movement, and softness without over simplifying.
Hi Mike. This one is an oil demo. I did explain the blues at some stage in the demo. But I have cobalt, ultramarine and manganese blue hue. In the demo I talked about the reasons for the manganese vs the ultramarine. Manganese was needed to get the more greenish lower region of the sky. Ultramarine/cobalt were used as needed towards the sky's zenith. I just finished a new demo, an acrylic painting, the initial post coming out on Friday. Thanks for subscribing.
Thank you, Zach! I have to say that the longer clips are just as easy to produce. All but the uploading. Especially on a day when the wifi isn't performing well.
This is the perfect length for a video for me! I always learn something about why you are making the choices you make watching these. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us so we can make better paintings! It is a gift and I am so appreciative the time it takes to make them! Thanks again!
I have had to procrastinate watching these videos due to my work schedule and actually, just life in general. Starting off the New Year as a newly retired person with the goal of working on my own art practice instead of supporting other artists in the exhibition world!
That said, I love the longer segments - with the short videos it seems like I am just getting into the progress of the work and then, poof! the next one begins.
My favorite part is when everything just begins to really come together. The instruction regarding details in light or dark work best when the opposite is simple, letting the eye rest and to further state the contrast between the two. Thanks Marc. Hope the family is in continued recovery mode.

Good, that’s my purpose. To share my process of thought and action. Thanks for subscribing.
Your pallet in this demo has 3 blues it seems. Is cerulean blue one of the colors? Is this demo in oil or acrylic?

Love this length as well as the 10-min clips. It's so great to watch you mix and carve out the clouds on the canvas.

It's very helpful to watch your process and decision-making in real time. I'm learning and getting inspired. Thanks.
Wonderful, Rob! Thank you for being a paid subscriber.

I appreciate that very much, Julie! Thank you for being a paid subscriber.
Really enjoyed this learned stuff too!
🙏🏻 Thank you, Emilie!
I like the shorter videos, like this. I tend to put off watching if they're longer.
Taking note... Thank you.
I love this length of video. Thank you for posting. Lots of inspiration for my cloud work. Have a great Memorial Day weekend. Sending heat from Texas.
Thanks for the heat but it is not looking like it's going to make it in time! Winds and front from WNE, off the ocean for us. Great for studio days!
I loved this segment - so much helpful cloud info! Thank you.
When I use titanium white in clouds, it sometimes seems chalky. Is that to be expected or is it a problem perhaps due to thickness of paint?
I replied to you but for some reason it's just a comment in the thread? But your reply is above.
