Thanks Mark! If I don’t have much time I’ll still knock something out. It doesn’t matter the subject, it’s the practice that matters. I hope to be able to competently paint anything in a few minutes eventually.

Yorumlarınızı ve sanatımı incelemek için ayırdığınız zamanı takdir ediyorum. Nazik sözleriniz için teşekkür ederim.

My goal is to entertain! Thanks for checking in.

@Michal_Kuras Here’s a video I shot last year. We are fortunate to have families of Bald Eagles in our neighborhood. A Convocation of Bald Eagles on Webster Point kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHiWaX5ja9h6oc0

@@wardwhitneyspring wow, so many of them. nice

Teşekkür ederim. Eylül ayında İstanbul'u ziyaret edeceğim. Görmem gereken bir şey var mı?

@@BoninBrighton Success! Hey, thanks, I appreciate your taking the time to comment.

@@sankaodell1635 I use Blick acrylic paint that comes in jars with screw-on lids. Before I start painting I gesso both sides of the canvas. The side I will paint gets gessoed twice. For roughing in, I have a cup of water I dip my brushes in. To cover a lot of canvas I dilute the paint a lot, about half-and-half. I now use the cheapest chip brushes I can buy in bulk. Some are five inches wide. This Mount Olympus was painted in three sessions, each less than an hour. I do layers of paint, with each session trying to get closer to what I want. In each successive session I intentionally allow some earlier layers show through. I know I could keep adding more sessions and develop this painting further, but it’s just a test painting to figure out processes. I will do the next version in oil over many more sessions.

@@bradfordgrantboyle3212 You might consider a name change.

@@richard0987-u9p Thanks Dik! “Pink Olympus” may get more layers. My reptilian brain is mulling it over. Key is for me to go with the flow. No-rules, no overthinking. The music is my off the cuff lyrics and Suno AI generating the result. I think more of my painting videos will have similar whimsical audio.

@@MarkMolen-k5v I’m figuring out how to paint it quickly (hopefully in one session) in an accurate way. Like a familiar face, the mountain has a unique profile. If I get it wrong it won’t look like the mountain. Plus it will be painted in oil, which presents all sorts of challenges. So, I’m working on it. You’ll see a lot more studies of Olympus before it’s done. I’m solving different problems and learning things with each go.

@@K.ART_vlog thanks K!

Hey Kathleen, Thanks! This was painted using Winsor & Newton Designer Gouache. I really like how it came out.

Çok naziksiniz. Teşekkür ederim. Düşüncelerinizi takdir ediyorum.

Thanks Kathleen

Teşekkür ederim!

@@golgeadam9065 Danke!

@@EveryGuitarEver Thanks Peter! I need to find time between painting and watching your videos! Everyone here needs to visit everyguitarever.com!

Thank you very much! I admit, I do like the paintings with the “a little too dark” blue in the upper sky. It doesn’t really look like that but this effect conveys the mood well.

@@kathleenwing1590 I used tubes of acrylic gouache for this painting. I have since ordered “traditional” gouache. Traditional gouache can be reconstituted after drying. Acrylic gouache dries and becomes permanent. Both have advantages.

Thanks Kathleen. I’m still working on my AI music prompts. :)

@@dannyjohnston1872 Thank you Danny. I appreciate you dropping by.

@@victorialikes7247 Hey neighbor! Thank you for taking a look.

Thanks GL! I appreciate your critique.

No ducks! It's weird, sometimes there's nary a bird of any sort, then other times, flocks!

Thanks!

Linseed Oil! Linseed oil is the only medium I ever use with oil. Thank you for your question. I’ll start putting more details into my videos. Cheers

@@wardwhitneyspring 😊👍

Kathleen, I'm glad you're enjoying it, I appreciate you watching!

@@Countrysidewonderer Thanks! I hope to get back to daily painting. It does’t really matter the scene, just the experience of doing it a lot.

Cats, rats, mice, Juncos, raccoons. My front yard is busiest in the wee hours.

@@Countrysidewonderer You’re too kind.

@@Countrysidewonderer thank you.

You have really improved over the year

@ Thank you Ross. Painting is an interesting activity. It’s changed how I see and think about what I’m seeing. I can’t ever be bored again. There’s too much to keep me busy. Send me more photos to paint! Our collaboration on Pendleton Hill has almost 2,000 views!

Thanks!

Thanks Kathleen!

Hey CSW! Yeah, poor fishy, but a bird’s gotta eat.
