Painting can be about many things thou...

@@rodrigogomes2064 You are right. I paint cars.

Confidence and boldness are only one part of what makes good art. Children paint with confidence but that alone does not make for great art. These paintings are at the junior high level with very little understanding of color and color harmony, warm v cool, or neutrals v higher chroma. Let alone value and composition. There are so many super talented landscape artists out there it is mind boggling to me he has the temerity to put himself out as an instructor. Kudos for confidence but it’s a confidence based on lack of self awareness regarding his abilities/knowledge. It really kills me to see when there are so many genuinely great landscape artists out there that people could learn real skills from.

@@johncarmanarts thanks for all those words, and I absolutely agree with everything you've said. I'm currently applying to audit the local junior high art classes hoping to glean a few useful tricks of the trade from the students. I'll be certain to quickly create a youtube video to share what I've learned.

I think the whole session, I including set up, time wasting, eating a sandwich and walking my dog around was less than four hours.

@@turnervinson it takes me 2 hours to block an 8 x 10 ! you are good!!!! very good!!!

It's a joy to see you painting ! Your timing is fascinating...the way the oil paint reveals your talent...the abstract intense strokes that create the calm realistic landscape ....the reality in motion....yeh....

Thanks so much 🙏🙏

lol, good to know

@@turnervinson you better know it, cause it's sad to waste oil and canvas that could become real art

Would love to!!

🙏

I thought it was done 😮

Thank you so much

oh dang, sorry I talked...

And interested in your online course but take your time

Thanks Irene!

Yes

Hey, thanks Cedric

Thanks Cory. I’ve been playing around with toning, but it didn’t happen on this one.

thank you!!

Haha, it’s all just intuition in the moment. Hard to bring reason into at times.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you

Thanks Jill! I’m glad you got to camp out there, it’s a great spot!

Thank you

🙏

Thank you

Thanks Sharron!!

Thanks, Jacqueline. I wish it was easy to add subtitles and translations, but it's really time consuming or I have to pay for it to be done. And for these free videos that doesn't really make sense for me at the moment. Hope you can still enjoy the videos! RU-vid did have an automated subtitles, but they don't seem to be offering it anymore.

@@turnervinson Thank you very much Turner for considering my request. Sorry, I didn't know this option was paying for you. It doesn't matter, I'll manage with Google translate. Have a good week

Thanks, no, I’m not finished with it.

@@turnervinson hope you’ll show it to us! Love your style.

Thanks

So rad

🙏

Ahh, I wish. We have a Lake Como here in Montana, of course, named after the Italian lake. I am considering a workshop in Florence in the future though!
