A very warm painting, thanks for listing your colour pallet and filming from your perspective, it was fun to learn about your approach to landscape painting!
Hmmm...good question Jean. I know I painted it over two days but total real time was probably 4 or 5 hours. Hard to say accurately since I'll paint awhile then let it sit while I observe what I've done, studying it and thinking about what changes I might make or how I'll proceed.
Good question. Generally speaking, one wants to try and establish the lightest light and the darkest dark as soon as possible so that the rest of the values can be built in relation to those. Additionally, one needs to remember that it is always easier to lighten a dark than it is to darken a light. Little truisms. For me anyway, it's always a process of adjustments as the painting develops.
Great video Mike, thanks for sharing the process! Hope to see more.
They'll be coming. Thanks for watching.

Fascinating! What was the “real time” from start to finish on this piece? Love it!

I really, really enjoy your aspen paintings!
@@HRGreisz thank you ma’am. They are fun to do.
Me, too!
When you start a painting and you're blocking in the big areas of color, do you always start with the lightest colors and move to the darkest?
