Today I'm sharing with you my favourite Maine memory; it's a scene I've painted many times, so... let's see how I go.

My pleasure Nick.

It's fascinating how you capture the light, and make it look so easy !

I’m coming up to 40 years of painting soon, just glad I picked up a thing or two along the way.

Lovely! Your grays are always spot on.

[@colleywhissonartist]

Thanks, really happy with how this one came out.

[@rjsongwriter]

Do you think getting the grays right is the most important aspect of capturing the look of natural light?@@colleywhissonartist

[@BrezovskyArt]

Looks deceptively simple when you paint but i know its not 😀 Very Nice 👍

[@colleywhissonartist]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

Are you waiting at all between applying these layers? If I try to paint at all over paint that thin, it just mixes together and makes a mess. Thank you and great content!

[@colleywhissonartist]

No, I actually work directly wet in wet. The trick is my fast drying medium (Archival Oils) and my control of the thickness of my underpainting.

@@colleywhissonartist Does Galkyd Lite do nearly the same thing with the fast dry part?
