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.
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.

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.

Really enjoyed this learned stuff too!
I like the shorter videos, like this. I tend to put off watching if they're longer.
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.
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?
