    Landscape… nothing abstract about this…….thankfully!
    Extremely well done. I wasn’t confident in the beginning, but it gradually grew into a wonderful interpretation of the scene. I’m impressed!
    Thank you.

I just found your video and immediately remembered your name. I haven't seen you around for a few years. I'm pretty sure we had painted in the same venue(s) a while back. Maybe it was in Frederick, or Solomons or New Hope?..... I remember you had a couple of little children with you. You did and do impressive work.

    I've been watching a lot of your videos lately to get inspired for my next painting (which is hard for me to figure out what to do.)
    At (a young) 72 now, (starting with Crayola and coloring books,) I've loved everything about art from a young age. I mostly work with watercolors.... commissions in the last few years of pets. What I admire the most is your ability to "free fall" so to speak, not getting "tangled up" with perfection. Just "go with the flow." What's the point of fighting for perfection when you can just take a photo?

    Ein schönes Bild, das Blau des Hügels bringt atmosphärische Räumlichkeit, die Krone des Baumes scheint t mir jedoch etwas kompakt, papisch, u differenziert zur Malerei des Hügels oder Gras im Vordergrund....
    Danke!

  • @kyststudio-epicartadventure

    You might reconsider galkyd outdoors. MS tends to break and damage the bonds of oil paint, making for a weak under layer. Or, use real turpentine outdoors, which won’t do that.

    What size panel do you recommend for new plein air painters?

    • @JasonTako
      @JasonTako  Рік тому +1

      I started with around 8x10 and still do that size along with 11x14. It's difficult to cover a lot of real estate when you only have about and hour and a half to get finished before the light changes too much. That is if you want to capture the light how it is and not make it up.

    Beautiful painting. You might consider changing the title. I feel like I can’t. Trust you now. I have no idea what this had to do with abstracting the painting. Maybe were using the word abstract in a very abstract way. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    • @JasonTako
      @JasonTako  Рік тому

      By abstracting I mean that you consider the abstract concepts first, such as design, value, color harmony, value masses. Most beginners think trees and leaves when painting rather than dark, neutral, green shape that can be transformed into an interesting design. This is different than abstract art where the abstract qualities may be there, but it's not the foundation for a representational painting. Difficult to put that all in a title.
