This is a great idea! It not only simplifies the whole process it allows you to concentrate on one area to paint at a time...great way to block in at the start.. even when you're not counting strokes this is a great go to for a solid results ...
I've been painting with 20 strokes recently using tube watercolour and gouache and today's efforts have been utterly ghastly to the point where I think I've no idea what I'm doing anymore. Your's has worked out pretty well though and thanks for introducing me to Peggy Kroll's work too.
Hi Arthur, thank you for your comment and taking the time to watch the video. I’m glad you got something of value from it. I completely understand that feeling like you have no idea what you’re doing. It’s part of the deal I guess. The important thing is to put up another fresh canvas after each disaster. I have an eight week zoom class coming up that covers oil painting from soup to nuts.Email me or look at my website for details. Good luck and happy painting my friend
@@iamsumanaghosh Hi Sumi, Good question. I like hog hair bristle brushes for thicker paint application. Robert Simmons Signet series are fantastic. I use rounds, flats and filbert shaped brushes. Best of luck.
It’s called a Ruby beholder abs is a small transparent piece of plastic that you look through to observe your motif in darks and lights. It’s a quilters tool that enables quilters to see value patterns and comes in very handy fir painters who are learning to see values.
Good observation. Pro tip: Squeeze out your entire palette the same way for every painting, as apposed to just squeezing out the colors you think you need. It’s not uncommon, for example, for beginners to just squeeze out green for the tree, blue for the sky and water, red for that barn and maybe some white. It’s a better idea to squeeze out your entire complimentary palette. The sky, trees and barn, all likely have light and shadow, reflective light, atmospheric perspective and varied degrees of chromatic and neutral color. This requires a full complimentary palette to introduce the necessary variety of subtle colors that represent nature. Squeezing out your palate and putting the colors in the same spot every time, develops habit and muscle memory so you can focus on the task of painting. I use a version of the most popular palette historically, “ the split primary palette”. It includes a warm and cool version of each of the three primary’s, plus white. Essentially, two yellows, two reds and two blues. Although not necessary, I also include a few secondaries for comfort, those include, orange, purple, green, and usually a brown. Hope that helps. Happy painting

There are a lot of colours on your pallet for a simple painting.
