I agree that Jasper ave painting really captures something. Has a little bit of magic to it. The other pieces are also well done, but there is something location specific about the first. A very effective capture of seasonal mood.

In reply to Marius. Thanks for the comment, I'm glad that you found it helpful. How to get started? I got started by watching someone who painted this way and it really spoke to me. So I guess I would say find someone or a video that demonstrates this process and then just try it and keep trying it and modify it to suit your own needs and that's how we learn. Good luck.

Thank you for sharing this helpful tutorial. I’d love to be part of your art group. The 3 wash method of landscape painting looks achievable. How do I get started on this method?

Hi Rex! Thank you for a very enjoyable weekend learning from you. I had wanted to take your workshop for some time and it was always sold out so I was especially happy to getbto do it on my birthday! I learned so much and my brain is looking at cityscape photos in a whole new way thanks to your tips!

In reply to Sharon Lynn Williams. Hi Sharon: What a lovely comment. It's interesting the idea of giving things away. I have benefitted so much from stuff that other artists have shared with me and I feel it's only right to share what I know. I always believe that what goes around comes around. Thanks again for your warm words. Rex

In reply to Susan. Thanks for the comment Susan and for your enthusiasm during the workshop. It meant a lot when you said how the warm ups exercises really released any fear and got you involved in a very positive way.

It was a fun, informative and intense workshop. I really enjoyed doing the warmup exercises of people, crowds and cars for day one and the face, hand and clothing for the second day. Your video presentation of the folds in clothing was very informative. All these fun exercises really prepared me to plunge whole heartedly into the larger paintings. Thanks for a great weekend. Now to complete the paintings. Susan

In reply to Susan. Wow, that's high praise indeed. When I look at the sheet that I painted the 4 cars on it just kind of makes me smile so I'm right with you.
