    Oh my!!! I haven't seen Kevin on video in a long time. It's so good to hear his voice & watch him explain how he gets his results. He's the reason I tried my hand at painting 4 years ago. I'm feeling a bit more unstressed now.....

    Wonderful change in video being black canvas, concentrating on just the trees, and keeping it short and not full finished artwork. Very refreshing brother Kevin.

    I, too, am a professional artist and I appreciate your tips. I don't know if you've experienced this or not (most likely you have), but once you've reached about the point you are at in this painting, it begins to speak to you, doesn't it?
    I can see all kinds of undergrowth back beneath your trees, along with some less prominent trees off to the right side of the canvas, with one tree in subdued reddish tones nearer to the foreground the on the far right. It's highlighted by your light source, just as you've done with the rest of your trees, especially the one on the far left.
    Then, about 2/3 of the way up, starting up under your 2 most prominent trees to the left, I envision a multi-tiered waterfall tumbling down into a pond that takes up most of the foreground, but flows off toward the right.
    Then, here and there, I see along the banks of the of the pond, clusters of wildflowers, mainly in blues and pinks with a white one here and there. In the lower left foreground, perhaps I would paint a I could go on and on!
    I love what you've done so far! It's very inspiring and makes me want to just jump in and take over (which would be extremely rude of me), but this is what I meant when I was talking about the painting speaking to you!

    Sometimes your hand blocks your brush, and I can't see what you're doing 😢. Are you tapping straight on? With a downward tap? Would love to be able to see the brush strike the canvas.
    I've only watched a couple of your videos so far and am excited to try them!

    Rather than adding light colors and again coming back to add dark colors. Can you also start with the dark colors in the background, your branches in the middle ground and the highlights are the light colors in the foreground? Noting that as you add the light colors or highlight colors in the foreground, you don't keep some of the dark colors so that you don't have a flat tree? That said, great tips and amazing stuff. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

    the most difficult part of the comma strokes is to not make it look like a pattern - thats what always makes mine look uglier when i paint comma strokes, but I guess they require lots of practice to get the shapes down perfectly.
