Stop doing regular BLOCK INS for oil painting

Dont waste time doing a regular block in for more complex scenes. Start with a secondary shape block in and keep moving towards that final image!
Hope this helps you on your journey!

Great video. I appreciate seeing you doing a warm background and cool foreground. .In Florida it seems I always have cool background, but now I’m thinking I need to experiment with that effect and see what happens. Thanks again for the hard work that goes into these videos. You have good content and it helps.

Yeah try it out, it is easiest to get something like that around sunrise or sunset. Although there are certainly circumstances when you have cloudy or hazy days where you can find it as well. I appreciate the kind words Dan, glad the videos are helping!

When painting oil paintings, mixing colors becomes tiresome and anxious as time goes by. That always leads to failure. Do you have any know-how to overcome it?

[@PleinAirSchool]

If you don't mix paint on the palette then you will have to on the canvas. That is one thing to try. The only other thing is to build up your will power. If you are painting for fun I would say start painting digitally.
