What a great subject and you really did a wonderful painting! I could tell you had a fun time with this one. You just pointed out something I have been struggling with, you have cropped that picture and did not paint those little insignificant details. The light just went on in my head! I am not up to your level, but I am trying! I do enjoy the voice over because I know how difficult it is to talk and paint. This way you catch to things that we all miss while painting in the moment. Thanks again for the video! Your new painting set up is great for your audience too! Happy painting !
Hi Deb - Thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to watch my videos.....means alot. I'm hoping to do another work on paper video of some wharf boats....something coastal....working class subject matter....a big fav. of mine. My advice....for what it's worth....don't be afraid of details. Sometimes people say I make it look easy. It's because I've spent some time with my drawing/draftsmanship. You ALWAYS want to be in control of what you want to paint. Don't avoid a subject because you can't paint it. You want to CHOOSE that you don't want to paint it because it doesn't move you. Take care -
Wonderful painting. I love the combination of the truck and the lobster bouys. I just painted my first trucks I found they were actually a pretty cool subject. I usually paint landscapes and architecture but the trucks were set up red, yellow and blue. I couldn’t resist. I have been painting from photos on my IPad, I just send them from my phone and swoop there they are. You can expand an area too see something better too. Thanks for the tip on the IPad holder. I will look for one. I am so glad you are back painting on TH-cam. I really love your work.
Hi Barbara - Thanks so much for being a big fan of my work. Even though they can be difficult, I do love painting trucks. In the near future, I hope to paint some boats and such....we'll see.
What a great demo. I keep forgetting that I can omit objects or detail! Working on a 72 Buick Riviera now and it's driving me nuts. I projected the image on the canvas, and painted the large value shapes first, it's all I can do to stop myself from painting the detail early on. When painting old cars/trucks I totally enjoy painting the headlights, tires are my downfall as they often have weird angles to them, need to practice drawing those for sure. The thoughts you share here will help so much!
Thanks for checking out the video. I ,too, can get bogged down too fast in details. This one really excited me for the result I achieved. I really focused on the shapes and color more than unnecessary details. Take care-
Really great subject...I love painting trucks/old vehicles too. I currently use my cell phone for reference, which is tiring-I will eventually grab a big tablet to enlarge the pic...not tech savvy at all and hesitate to know how to get the images on my iPhone to another brand of technology...will get it worked out eventually... Again, great painting Man! - you inspired me to get to my new easel and get painting.
Hi - VERY cool that my videos are inspiring artists such as yourself to get out there and PAINT! I wasn't tech savvy either, but learned some of the ropes through TH-cam research. I'm still learning :) Instead of your tablet, you can also just use your laptop....though it's a bit cumbersome in the studio. Having a committed device for your studio will make the process easier. I have a 10" or so Lenovo tablet and it's been good to me. I think I paid about 120-130 $ Get the biggest you can afford. Also.... get a tablet holder. I actually got mine at tj Maxx or somewhere....cheap. I think it's actually a tablet holder for a car headrest (goes around the headrest rods). Thanks for checking out my video!

Really nice painting, Bruce. Lot's of useful info. So glad you're doing videos again. Look forward to them all.
Hi Jim - Thank you very much. It's always been my goal with my channel to be authentic and helpful with information.
Interesting..thank you 👏

Great video. Enjoyed two tips: your use of a vertical palette and use of your tablet instead of a print. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much. Yes.... the tablet works GREAT!
