Painting A Rainforest Driveway Plein Air 

The sunlight , the dirt , the bushes, all come together beautifully. Stunning location, awesome detail , but … but… b.. but no goanna?!!!..

Soooooooo beautiful, and the location is stunning. My kind of country ❤

I love it. It's a wonderful job well done.

Oh, when you added those bits of sunlight! Wow! A beautiful painting became even better. What a lovely area of greens. Thanks for sharing.😊

I was thinking the same thing you said at one point, about everything seeming so...green, and how to differentiate points of interest. Featuring the driveway was a great fix for that and worked out really well. I'm glad nothing wild or crazy happened this time too, although if it had, I know you would have handled it with grace and aplomb as usual. :) Too bad the friend didn't get to see the finished painting in good lighting. Hopefully they'll see the video.

Beautiful is it, Kate you never mentioned your pallet colours

Another beautiful piece. The splashes of sunlight really make the painting. ❤❤

Lovely. Well done.

love it

Wow.

Muito bonito, amei sua obra de arte, maravilhosa. From Bahia Brasil

I think you created some wonderful texture in that picture - but I have a question. I'm wondering why you started with the pallet knife. My thinking is that it restricts your underpainting, and I think it leads you to battle more than you have to to get the compositional structure of the piece. Listen - if you're not interested in the sort of 'realism' of old school impressionism, and are going for the more abstracted primitivist imagery of someone like Henri Rousseau, then forget what I say - but if you want to paint not just 'a' bush, but *the* bush in front of you, I would recommend that you use a brush with diluted paint and start by blocking in the most obvious areas of dark (if you squint you'll be able to see the basic shapes a bit clearer) and light. Then you can start in with the pallet knife and smaller brushes. I just watched your 'misty mountains' video and I think again, starting with dilute paint and brush - washing in a misty tone then touching in some vague distant mountain shapes wet on wet (kinda like a loose watercolour technique) would have worked wonders. Then you've got a good base for that lovely pallet work rockiness to jump out from. Anyway, I hope you don't think I'm overstepping the bounds of internet etiquette - or mansplaining where it's not wanted - I just came across your video and just loved your attitude, and if anything I've said is useful to you then that's got to be a good thing I reckon.
