This is a time-lapse video of my latest painting from beginning to end in two minutes. I've also included a written, running commentary as I paint. Like I admit on YouTube, it's not necessarily a how-to instructional video, but I always think it's useful to watch how someone else paints, i.e. doing something I can learn from or seeing how they 'fix' things. I know I make mistakes. The learning comes in having to fix the mistakes, make adjustments, sometimes painting over whole areas. Compared to where I was three years ago when I started, I feel like I've come a ways.
I paint in acrylic usually, but not always landscapes. I'm enthralled with lighting and the effect it has on the painting. I'll use sponges, fan brushes, my finger, a paper towel, anything to get the effect I'm looking for.
Thanks for watching.
