Probably THE hardest aspect of painting distilled into bite size chunks. - Still hard to swallow - but you seasoned it perfectly. Your ability to take such a complex issue and reduce it to clear, simple, interpretable visual language is a treasure. Much love.
You did an absolutely fantastic job on this!!!!! It’s perfection!!!!!
Your videos always make me smile and have the best info! Thank you!!
Doug, I hear your voice over my shoulder every time I'm holding a brush!!! So grateful for the videos and also for your in person encouragement (and admonishments!!!) You are the best.
This was incredible, Doug. You are so, so generous with all of your wisdom and thanks for doing the real demo. Lots of love, back at you.
Great tools to self critique. Thanks!
Love your videos. Thank you for all the information. I’ll watch this over and over and tell my friends.
Thus is awesome! Absolutely love your style of teaching. Really appreciate this, will definitely come in handy, given me heaps to think about
Great video Doug! It has everything you're teaching us in our sessions!
Good one. A mathematically calculated approach to problem solving is a good tool to add to the box. Something us intuitive painters need to consider. Viewing the work in a different setting is a great tip too.
Thanks Doug, very helpful.
Good painting imformation.
You are the best!
This is an excellent tutorial!! Note to self: a little Mr. Bean in the painting is okay...not too much Clooney...
For me, the striations of snow raises some concerns. As one striation travels behind the foreground trees, it seems the mountain was randomly laced with "snow" and it doesn't seem to sit comfortably with my eyes. Maybe breaking up that long snow diagonal from right to center of canvas is my problem. Possibly adding patches of snow that indicates a mound of snow rather than snow sliding down the side of the mountain.
The far left mountain that is covered in purplish colors, has limited suggestions of snow that is still hanging around. I assume this is not a finished painting, since the trees, rocks, mountains and some mountain snow is not reflected in the water. Some glistening highlights on the water would brighten the lake, help lead viewer's eye to your center of focus.
I hope my ramblings haven't offended you. I criticize my drawing for several days after I think I am finished. Then I see areas that I need to correct. Once I do that, like you, I place the piece where I can casually see it as I go from room to room. Those casual glances can be very helpful discovering weak points.
Interesting video. 👍
What is going on with the white "reflection?" in the water. The ice or water flowing down the mountain to the water is on a recessed angle, yet has a huge reflection in the water, while trees on the shore, presumably standing upright, to the right are not reflected in the water at all. Very unbalanced and totally ruins it IMO.
