Fantastic as usual mate .. I think your trees are great, mine have improved a lot from learning from you especially rolling a round brush for the foliage. Thank you ..
I am so proud of myself. The seascape that you did yesterday (I believe) convinced me to just go for it and do it quickly without overthinking it and it worked out! I cut a 9" X 11 1/2" watercolor board in half crosswise so I had a much smaller canvas to work with so that I couldn't get bogged down in details because there was no room to do details. Today I am going to do this seascape and am finally excited to have made progress. Thank you!
That artist curse phenomenon you mentioned is crazy how consistent it is, as you say, sometimes even the next day I feel much differently about a piece. I wonder if all the anguish mental energy and uncertainty we go through during the process just accumulates such that when you step away for the first time it is ingrained in the image, an imprint like we get after staring at bright light, or looking at a beautiful sunny field after you've been on your hands and knees tilling it for 10 hours in the blistering heat. Someone who was just out on a nice walk would walk by and see a lovely scene, all you see are the blood sweat and tears.
I think you could be right. I certainly see myself continuing to work on a painting unnecessary while I am editing the scene. It is easy to see afterwards, but almost not so much while you are in the zone painting! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Rob

I have to try oil painting one day
It's ideal for when watercolours are driving you crazy 🤪
Me gusta mucho tu pintura!
Thanks 😊
That's so beautiful
Thanks. I appreciate your feedback 😊
Hi Rob, this is wonderful. Would you be able to tell me the dimensions?
This was 25cm x 30cm I believe.
👌👍👍
Thanks 😊
Where can I get the reference photo? I'd like to try matching the colours a technique I haven't done before.

@@OilPaintingwithRobertMee ok thanks. Could you tell me which brushes you use? Not the make but the types and sizes. Thanks.
