    This video really demonstrates a lot of techniques quickly: creating a gradient palette, mixing, brush treatment, blending strokes. You show more than you tell, move very efficiently, and mix in your own personal tips/tricks. Everything is well lit and easy to see and follow - thanks so much!

    I've just become serious and committed to painting everyday, however technical parts do not inspire me to continue. This is exactly what I needed to restore the original feeling I fell in love with. Other video's are well beyond my skill level and lose me soon after I begin. I enjoy your style, voice and pace...Thankyou so much !

    Hi Felix & Wifey, I have struggled for so long with getting the first blended layer on my canvas. So I have done a lot of stressing each time I did a painting and sometimes took me a good few hours to start because of this. I have watched this video a couple of times and decided I would give it a try. I'M SO HAPPY you have solved my problem. Thank you so much I have found your method much easier and now I'm not afraid to start my paintings anymore. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Sheila.

  • @lulugregory3246
    @lulugregory3246 4 ปีที่แล้ว +31

    That is such a good idea to “lay out” your colour mixes on the pallet before you start, I have never thought of doing that before which is probably why one colour is pretty much dry by the time I get to start the next and I have so much trouble blending... so clever! I also like your brush blending.. so often I “lose” my lighter colours... will,definitely give this a try. Stunning result! Thank you

  • @susang5997

    I like your technique of mixing/blending the paints on the palette first..I've never seen anyone do it like this before. Most seem to just blend on the canvas and when I do it straight on the canvas I don't get a gradient that flows. When I did your way I got very very good results with my blending. I like your style. Others say simple but it's way past my beginner level. I'm so in love with Nature I decided I need to paint Her on canvas...sunsets, oceans, rivers, mountains etc. so with your help I'm gonna try to unlock the artist within. You not only have the talent for painting you also got the talent for teaching. Thank you for sharing. Love from Jamaica.
