    I think I first saw this when it came out, before I knew who Christina was. Since then I've seen a bunch of her videos now too. I've just re-watched this after having gotten to know both of your work more since then. Great watching you paint together!

    The solving of the composition problem with adding the trees, making it more like a U-shape - was cool. I spotted the same thing and didn’t know what to do and then saw you fix it. That will satisfy thank you.

    I love how "reducing" media and palette, as with your watercolor sketch, enriches the creative aspect.. like when Georgia O'Keeffe took up charcoal and "regrew" her art from there. Or when Picasso made a bull from a bicycle seat and handlebars. I call it the Burnt Stick School, which need not be literal but acts to remind us that limits enable form, that expression need not stem from nor wait for access to special materials. Developing one's kit affirms a commitment to mastering a particular medium, so that's another aspect of limitation facilitating form.

    Thanks again for the insights, both of you produced properly pleasing paintings. Like you, I wanted a new watercolours palette a few weeks ago and stumbled across the Mijello range. They’re airtight so keep tube colours fluid for a little longer. The 18 well version comes with a clear plastic tray to give more mixing room. I don’t use it for mixing, instead I fit it “upside down” to hold my brushes in the lid when tramping to/from wherever. No thumb hole but with my climber’s digits, I can’t use the ones in the plastic trays.

    Really enjoyed your urban painting and the suggestion of detail that you incorporate into them. the treatment of the light area of the second painting must have been difficult to separate tones. I did the Nocturnal Painting Comp in Norwich (England) - managed three paintings and people seemed to enjoy them. tried to keep it simple but sometimes i get drawn into detail which i need to avoid. Another great session by you especially in the urban setting - the last painting looked like you were on a mountainside.

    Nothing wrong with your first painting, but does sorta fail the 'would you want to hang it on your wall?' test. Second one looks great. One technique I use when painting walls is to put 2 or 3 colours on the same flat brush. The colours don't have to be wildly different, but it does help to not make walls look so slab-like and it also softens the impact of the windows/doors you paint on after. Might not suit your style, but worth an experiment?
