two completely different vibes ... they are both so much fun.. The color and brushwork on the newer one almost makes you taste the salt air and hear the pounding surf while the previous version is so peaceful and natural. The sand in the original ve…
I like this. How did you do the foliage?
cubes + double sided tape = fun... they are really rather cute, but I don't recommend Glossy photo paper until I have enough skill to paint my reflected self-portrait in the side of the cube. Ha!
I can't wait to see how yours turns out :) You seem to have much better control of the brush than I do. I can't wait to see what you do with it.
you really captured the spirit of so many canyon streams in Northern Arizona and the Mogollon Rim... takes me back to my college days... Good painting, thanks for sharing!
Hi Richard, Ch. 4 is looking good I am making cubes at the moment and re-watching the lessons... One question before I begin painting... What are you painting these exercises on? Do I need to blow through canvas stocks for these or is there an alter…
this is coming along nicely... FUN!
Hi Amy. ... Loving it!!! I haven't attempted it yet, but something tells me mine won't look quite as life-like as this! :)
Here is my first attempt at a master class lesson... atmospheric perspective... I'm a bit remedial in the value department as you can see... and if I could teach the dog to photograph the paintings they might look a bit better as well... but hey tha…
i really like the textures and movement... fun!
you packed a whole lot of beautiful into three days
I envy the loose, free brush strokes and this is a very nice color play on the still life... moody background and the bright fresh citrus- fantastic!... My only wish is that the leaves looked more lively and a little less withered as they are an ext…
...this makes me want to grab my fishing pole and play hooky! Keep up the good work :)

- Hi Amy, funny you should mention the outdoor easel because I've just purchased a new one myself. I already had this french box easel from http://www.cappellettoitalia.it/ (the CC 30 field easel) which is great because it does everything you want it to do - holds your gear and a wet canvas and is sturdy and beautiful. The downside is that it's pretty heavy to go hiking around with so you need a car to take it anywhere and it's hard to take on a plane etc.
So I searched for quite a while to find the perfect light weight alternative and found this one to be the best for my needs: http://www.artworkessentials.com/products/ProChade/ProChade.htm
I just bought the easyl and the umbrella - didn't need all the other stuff. It arrived the other day and it is a beautiful thing. I was hoping to get out today and try it out but I'm still waiting for a tripod I ordered from trademe (like ebay). It looks perfect to me though so I would recommend this one to you for painting small paintings outdoors - about 10x8". They have bigger Easyls for larger work, but this one suited me.
That's my 2 cents worth. Let me know if you find a better one.
Cheers,
Richard

- Hi Amy. The background in this painting is done with a tecnique I learnt from a workshop with painter Neemish. You paint the canvas in (bright yellow) or what ever suits your desired effect. Usinig acrylic. Then put the dark background over using oils. blend this how you wish it to look then using a rubber scraper (they come in all sizes and different forms) scrape the desired patern. I did kowhai flowers branches ect. These can be further hi-lighted after all is dry.

- Wow, just looking at your photos - you're doing great work already. The lessons I was talking about you can find on the Goodies! page above or on my website here: http://www.newzealandartist.com/lessons.php
I'm working on a colour lesson at the moment too - but that's going to take a while to finish.

- Hi Amy, welcome to the group. When you've got some time I encourage you to post some of your images on your page ("My Page"). When you've done some of the lessons too it's a nice idea to post them in the forum. Other than that, you can chat with me and the other members any time and comment on their work, and there are some resources, videos and goodies for you to look at too. I'm adding to this all the time so keep an eye out for cool stuff.
Thanks for joining!
Kind Regards,
Richard
