The main reason this is a good exercise is that artists often don't know when to stop. If given unlimited time, we often feel, tweak this, tweak that... how many great paintings have we all ruined. This exercise forces us to plan, be intentional, and move along in the process. Great video, thanks!
Cheers for this. I love oil sketches by Turner & Constable, and love the loose direct nature of those oil sketches that Constable made before starting the larger completed in the studio landscape paintings. Thanks for sharing.
Well done. So appreciate you keeping it real. This video is great for beginners and professionals. It reminded me to take the time to excersise my skills instead of just continually deep diving into finished work. Very much enjoyed your video.
I really like you've emphasized that beautiful subtle rim light in the background. You also managed to capture the pretty morning haze and atmospheric perspective in a lovely impressionistic interpretation. Quite an accomplishment in such a short time. Thanks for encourage us to give this exercise a go, And - by the way - it's always cool to meet another Anna who loves creating art! ❤🙏❤👍👍👍👌💪
Fantastic exercise! I appreciate your explanations along the way. Having seen you paint live at a workshop, I was so impressed with how quickly you could finish a beautiful painting. Doing some of these timed small paintings is a great idea! Thank you for providing inspiration ideas for us. ❤
You have a wonderful grasp of color and value. A welcome disciple for good values which are more important than the color choices. I don’t get the “warm white “ concept. It is titanium and ( cad) yellow. Which you have on your pallet. Your confidence and execution are very confident and a delight to watch. And a lesson to viewers.
When speed, and looseness, with a painting are a priority, a larger brush speeds up the time. I find a large filbert brush works best. With a large filbert you have a large flat surface on two sides, along with a narrow knife edge along the other two edges.
I beg to differ about your masterpiece comment. Some quick loose demos can be more masterful than four or more hour finished pieces. Especially in your capable hands. Your brushwork is impeccable.Thank you again.
I can't tell you enough how much I loved and needed this video! Thank you! Beautifully done. I'm two years into my painting journey and spend too much time on details. Regarding your linen panel, did you do anything to prepare it beyond the way it arrived from the manufacturer? Newer painters often don't have the cash flow yet for painting quick studies every day on high-quality materials -- do you have a recommendation for an economical support that won't frustrate a newbie's efforts?
Glad it was helpful! I completely understand about wanting to use less expensive materials for studies! Here's a link to a video I made about surfaces on a budget: ua-cam.com/video/9P-rOYU40B0/v-deo.html
Super Great Idea ♡ and a Groovy Good way to challenge yourself New Sub and like from me for sure ♡ anyways I hope you have a fantastic 2024 and get lots & lots of Plein air paintings done 🎨✌️🖼❤
The secret to knocking down glare: come back the very next day while the paint is still wet but has started to set. Take a clean VERY soft sable brush and with hardly any pressure at all, brush it gently across your painting to reduce ridges and specular highlights.
Viewers should also notice your “ testing” color choices by dabbing. Good idea. Also not being faithful to the original image. Good videos. The best “ demo” videos I have seen on the internet. Your painting is much cooler while the image is much warmer. Just as valid.
You look exactly like Emily Olsen who has a watercolor UA-cam channel! I can’t be the only one to say this. Wow crazy. She has a twin sister and you look more like her than her twin 😮
Oh lol your Emily’s sister ? Haha I was so confused, yeah you look just like your sister! When your channel popped up I got confused by the channel name and thought, is this Emily why is she going by a different name. I feel stupid 😂 I wasn’t aware you had a channel as well 🤣
Anna Rose. How does your Patrion page work. The platform go daddy is for sale? You give your information and they don’t give you a price only a ? If you want to buy ? Could you explain this?

I loved Bob Ross! He was truly great at what he did. But I'm an old-timer, Bob keeps getting credit for fast painting when in fact, he had a predecessor named William Alexander. He was the first one I watched, before a lot of you were born, on PBS creating 30 minute paintings.

Very good point! Thank you!
Beautiful! Well done and it’s a good little piece, spontaneous and fresh looking! 👍
Thank you!
So glad to have just discovered you! Wonderful site- beautiful work and inspiring content.

My pleasure!
Amazing
These 20 min exercises are wonderful. Thank you for this content. They truly are a gift. And your teaching style is very encouraging.
Glad you like them! Yes, I just realized that 20 minutes is the perfect amount of time. Lots of info can be shared too. :-)
This is fantastic! So very helpful and fun to watch. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome

Thanks for sharing.
Always learn a lot from your demonstrations. Thank you for sharing your talents
Thanks for watching!
Oh yeah, love this. Atmosphere is one of my most difficult things to paint
You are the consummate professional. You make every second count. Much to be learned from your lessons. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
So glad to find you here. Love your paintings
Thank you so much!
Fabulous! I'm excited to see all you do in this series. Thank you.
Thank you Anna Rose, this is just what I needed. Looking forward to more demos. I really like the Lincolin painting that you did awhile back.
Thanks so much!
I do something similar when doing tonal studies, it certainly pushes you to focus on shapes rather than details. Look forward to your next video.
Loose and lovely!!
You are doing awesome!
Thank you!
So much fun! Can't wait to try it,
Thanks for this! Looking forward to more.
I really like it, great technique!
Thank you!

These are nice informative videos . Very helpful in technique and method and achieving looseness. Thank you Ms. Bains
Thank you so much for the kind words!

TY. Helpful. Brilliant
Lovely, thanks for the demo. Looking forward to more. Can you do a flower of some kind?
Yes I can! That's the plan for the next one. :-)
U did good
You ended up with a good picture.
Superrr
Thanks
shared on 5 platforms
Wow thank you! :-)
I've heard that Bob did two paintings before he showed us his third painting. Practice makes better.

Thank you! You too!
I don't understand how to paint like this, thick and juicy in some areas, without worrying about all the glare. Should we just not care about glare?
The secret to knocking down glare: come back the very next day while the paint is still wet but has started to set. Take a clean VERY soft sable brush and with hardly any pressure at all, brush it gently across your painting to reduce ridges and specular highlights.

LOL - Karen, I am she. Her mother's daughter's twin sister.
I can confirm that we are twins! :)

Do you have a sister that paints in watercolor?
Yes I do!

Good work but I should give it some extra minutes next time.

Yes, I've heard about him. Never saw him paint though.

Thank you for mentioning William Alexander…who taught Ross everything he knew. Thanks
Are you also known as Emily Olsen ?
Hi! Emily is my twin sister. 😊
@AnnaRoseBain lol. That explains it. Love your art work
