Thank you for this video. For three days I have been working on the card swipe technique, but even after watching several tutorials, I could not figure out why my whites kept disappearing and my painting was a heavy, muddy mess. I tried more water, less water, lighter touch, but only after I watched yours, did I realize I was using WAY too much paint. I am normally an acrylic artist, so I did not realize just how little paint should be used. A tiny bit, just touch the card lightly into the paint. Do not dig out a chunk! Thank you for pointing that out. I appreciate it.
Love use of credit card all over the place. Your composition is so terrific. (Tired of looking at landscapes done with a credit card.) You are so talented at realistic, but this is my favorite painting of yours.
I fail abysmally at card swipes every time I try. Watching this video you make it look so easy. I tried three different times and sadly made mud with every single one. I don’t know why I can’t get great results.
So happy to have discovered your art! Thank you for sharing your talent.

Hi Pamela, think the trick is just let things happen and don't overwork it!
I appreciate your response, I’ll keep trying. I’m determined to get this right!
I tried another swipe today and it worked! No mud. Thanks for the advice about not overworking it and letting it flow.
