I mostly use very cheap ones. The reason is I prefer them because the can create a lot of interesting textures...just get cheap brushes and don't take good care of them.

No reference photos?

a lot of the times I only use my imagination that has been influenced by a lot of refferences, for example this painting is from a myriad of different photo. It is extra fine cotton canvas pinned to a cork board.

The brushes I use are very cheap rounds, flats etc. It doesn't matter too much to me because in landscapes I am looking to keep the abstract and the brushes get mightily abused. As for liquin and spirits, I normally start with spirits first and lean into the liquin as I progress. I think that on is more of watching a demonstration along with experience. I hope that helps.

@@allendixon Thank you for your reply. I really love to your painting demonstration. Kind Regards

I painted this one quite a few months ago and i can't remember if I used a reference photo or not, quite often I do these type of paintings from my imagination, but, like I said, I can't remember if I used a photo or not.

Yes Please post your reference photos It’s helpful When studying your work ❤

It's helpful...it is essential!

I have slightly cut the canvas a bit oversized. For example a 10x 8 canvas is cut at roughly 10.2x8.2. I then glue this to a 10x8 board, and the slight overcut allows me to position it properly. I use to glue them to an MDF board but recently I have been gluing them directly to a canvas board. Yes I'm gluing canvas onto a canvas board, because, well they are designed to be archival and not to warp. It's an experiment and so far it's going ok.

@@allendixon What a brilliant idea! Thanks for letting us know about this trick.

About 80% of my paints are nothing special, you can buy them anywhere and they are used for the underpainting. The finish paints are normally Windsor and Newton and I buy them from Jacksons Art Supplies.

I think I was referring to the online photo creating source called Midjourney.

Thank you very much. I have lowered the music volume a bit in my upcoming vids.

I think this looks beautiful. Not everything has to be compositionally perfect. Nature is random after all. I remember years ago when Dennis Sheehan had his videos on RU-vid, (He's a huge modern tonalist master) he said "although composition is important it's not as important as it feeling and looking good to the eye of the beholder." And I have to say in this case I agree. I think this is beautiful. It's so warm and comforting and the way the tree takes centre stage is mesmerising to me. I would love to have the insight to do this type of painting. It takes balls to break the rules.

​@@tabula123456agreed! This is beautiful, like all of his paintings

Dubious??..🤔...
