Painting a SEASCAPE! How to create DEPTH in an oil painting! 

Yes, they say the more complex the mind, the more play and creativity are important on any level, they go together. That’s what we humans are after all isn’t it. To be happy and healthy we must be free to express ourselves and learn about who we are within our environment. Art is very personal, an reflection of our midden mind, emotional expression of self within. It takes so many different motor-skills between eye and hand it’s something akin to music. When it works, it resonates and uplifts and even heals. No other animal that we know of, can express themselves openly in this beautifully delicate intricate way. That’s what makes the Masters paintings so irreplaceable. They speak for what we are. Art has always been with human development since the cave paintings which are perfect in their own way.

I think you are THE BEST teacher BY FAR on the internet and I have watched A LOT of them.

هذا عمل صعب و عظيم حقاً .. شكراً لك استاذي

Your painting inspired me to make a rough hilly seaside painting
