    Lois,
    What a wonderfully simple yet POWERFUL lesson!!!
    I've been painting land, sea, & cityscapes in oil, acrylic, and (most recently) watercolor.
    Yes, even now I still often find myself in danger of 'overworking' my paintings.
    Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!

    @monev4456 Рік тому +1

    All your paintings are so beautiful!! I’ve never done watercolor, I’m afraid of it, for the “lack of control” over it (that’s what I tell myself 🫤). But you’ve inspired me, and I have learned a lot with your videos, so I’m putting the soft pastels and charcoal aside and give this a try! Thank you so much!🙏😊

Never turns out like this! Youve inspired me to begin a sky sketchbook so i can track my ‘progress’-hopefully progress cos it doesnt feel like it. Ready to throw the towel in w skies! Fingers crossed

      Perhaps you allow complementary colours, like blue and yellow, to be too close together so if they touch, you get a green.
