This is a great video! Your explanations are thorough and informative. Note: I have both of your books and find them very helpful! One additional feature in the final painting is that you let the tower break through the roughly horizontal line of the distant hill, emphasizing the majesty of your subject.
I have loved and still love your vibrational abstraktes landscape paintings very much and I am also a Great admirer of your very clear explanations and showing your process and principales 🎶🧡💛🧡💛🩵💜🎵
Another great video, Mitch! I was especially interested in the less saturated shadow in this painting. It really did bring a much nicer balance vs a darker shadow on the right side of the hilltown. Thanks for the clear explanations. I've added "tactile perspective" to my list of ways to create the illusion of space and depth. I wouldn't have thought to use it in the middle ground in the same way you did in this painting. Lots of great info you've shared. I hope to see you on a course in Italy again one of these days.
Thanks for the thoughtful response. I’m glad you liked the video. “Tactile perspective” is not a term you readily encounter, even when you search online. So maybe I can bring it into the lexicon. Thanks for watching.
Wonderful painting and great information. One of your book just arrived yesterday, "The Landscape Painter's Workbook". I also enjoyed and found interesting the video in mastrius, about color, composition, and really like the dark landscape area in the back. Did you glazed?...looks so nice, foggy, and make the view of Bagnoregio more intrigue.
Thanks for watching the video and for picking up the book. You asked if I glazed: I’m not much of a glaze painter. Most of the effects you see are wet over dry, or dry brush. Occasionally I will wipe back some layers while they are still wet, which is kind of like creating a glaze. But mostly wet over dry.

Thanks, Karen. Nice to hear that folks are “getting” it.

Regio pronounced REH- Jo

Oops. Like a true American, I guess I bungled that one!
