    Hi Chris, what a beautiful painting. Is there some golden rule to help decide the scale of the boats within that landscape? Thank you again, very enjoyable tutorial.

    • @ChrisStephenArt
      @ChrisStephenArt  7 місяців тому

      Hi Susan,
      I don’t think there are any golden rules as such, I suppose it really depends on what the emphasis is on. This painting was more about the landscape, with the boats adding some context to the scene. If it were more about the boats, I would probably have made them closer and more prominent. Hope that makes sense !!

    Do you wet your pallet before painting....does your paint dry up in the pallet when not used ...does the pallet have a cover?

    • @ChrisStephenArt
      @ChrisStephenArt  7 місяців тому +1

      Hi Ralph. I don’t usually wet the palette before painting, unless I haven’t painted for a few days, then I’ll give a quick spray with the mist bottle. The paint does dry in the palette, but I use artist quality paints that re-wet easily with a wet brush. I used my Meeden ceramic palette, it doesn’t have a cover, I usually just lay a piece of cardboard over when not in use, just to stop any dust. Hope that helps.

      Thanks, Clara. I’m glad you liked the tutorial. Some people have said they love the music, others absolutely hate it. The dilemma I have is, I live in a busy town with neighbours, cars, dogs and other annoying things. I play music to mask the background sounds. Maybe some kind of noise cancelling recording equipment may help, I’ll have to save my pennies 😂

    How on earth do you preserve those little white spots in the sky and water? They make all the difference, yet l am never, in the process of rewetting the paper, been good at keeping the highlights, especially as our climate is so dry that water starts drying immediately.

    • @ChrisStephenArt
      @ChrisStephenArt  6 місяців тому +1

      I think it really comes down to practice and reacting to what’s happening on the sheet. Also, being mindful to leave some white behind, no matter how small, can make all the difference.
