Hello Robert. I am a piano composer who has just taken up painting, starting with acrylic and watercolour and now attempting that daunting move towards oils. I'm certainly in the "beginner" category for now but as somebody who absolutely adores the French impressionists, just as I do the French romantic impressionist/symbolist composers, I aim to throw myself completely into this. I have just returned from a long stay in Paris, where I was able to see up close my favourite works from the likes of Renoir, Monet, Van Gogh, Sisley, Degas, Utrillo, Cezanne, Manet, Pisarro and Matisse. I spent some time in Montmartre, toured the museums, the galleries, took in the sights, traversed up the Seine and even took in a few classical concerts at the Philharmonie de Paris, Église de la Madeleine and Théâtre des Champs-Elysées amongst a whole host of other memorable moments. The visit was completely life changing to me and I am completely filled with renewed creativity usually reserved for my music. I just want to say your channel has by far been the greatest resource for me personally. As a beginner with high ambitions, you have gifted me the confidence to not be afraid of a blank canvas and whilst my output is pretty dismal so far, I am definitely improving and I owe it all to yourself. Thank you for everything you do. Not only are you an excellent tutor, you are a truly brilliant artist in your own right.
Sounds like a resourceful trip to France. I too paint watercolours and find the variety of painting in different mediums keeps me fresh and inspired. Good luck with your journey into oil painting, and thank you for your kind words.
I, too, have just discovered Payne's Grey and love using it in moody/stormy sky scenes. I live in the desert (more dirt than greenery) where we do not get a lot of dramatic clouds (hot and sunny) so I am forcing myself to paint clouds of all kinds from photos and memory. Trees are another issue. We do not have thick, bushy shrub type trees that grow to massive heights. I really appreciate the work that you put forth. I am learning a lot.
Fantastic mate, very inspirational... Thank you
You are welcome.

Wonderful! What if any medium do you use? Thank you for you videos!
I use a little linseed that I add to the paints before I start. A buttery consistency.
