Barb, thanks.  I just got my Email from Sarah Allspaw from Wet Canvas Live that PDF and video can be downloaded from the Essentials of Trees course.  You should get it also if you are properly signed up for the course.  Let me know how you like it after you look at it.  Stu

Thanks, Susie.  My disease, obsession to detail, shows up a lot in my work; painterly touches with looser brush work and softening away from my focal point are my challenge.  Stu

really nice stu...almost photographic but still painterly enough...you can certainly tell you're a surgeon...much attention to detail!! - can you tell i was a nurse??...probably not....

Iwan, thanks.  How's you old master's painting coming?  Although I am a bit of a detail freak, I have never had the patience to do a monochromatic underpainting and all those layers of glazes.  I usually tone my canvas and do a very transparent, thin and quite abstract underpainting.  Sometimes if I am in a rush, the underpainting will be in acrylic (I like Golden's fluid acrylics for this), but usually it is in oil and usually with added alkyd medium (I like Gamblin's Galkyd Lite or with Gamblin's Fastmatte paint--this has a fast drying alkyd modified oil base).  For outdoor painting, my oil underpainting sets up pretty quickly on a warm day; in the studio, I can usually paint on it the next day.  I tend to paint fairly thin, without a lot of juicy impasto.  Outdoors, I do use thicker paint.  I am a newby to outdoor painting (less than 5 years) and I have produced a lot of ugly stuff, but I keep working on it.  I am really enjoying these workshops and all the interesting artists that I am meeting online.  Stu

Thank you Susan.  I hope you were not offended by my prior nit-picky comment on your lovely painting.  I have not hit the like button on any current workshop paintings yet, but plan to do so on the 21st as Richard requested.  You will definitely get one of my likes.  Stu

Such a technically difficult painting beautifully brought off.  Masterful control of tone and colour, drawing and perspective.  There is a lovely clarity and depth to this painting.
