Amazing. Thank you.

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Tanya. Have a go!

[@scottenosh4548]

Man, I goofed this challenge up hard lol. Oh well, it was still fun. It is fun to try it one's self before seeing the professional execute it. Very enlightening experience. Thanks Tim.

[@TimWilmot]

Glad you had a go and well done. We share our paintings on patreon.

[@scottenosh4548]

@@TimWilmot I would, however KZbin doesn't allow me to see live streams for reasons I dont understand.

[@julliettecarignan8563]

I love it when you show how you handle such complex scenes! They're what we typically encounter, and so difficult to tackle. Since you wanted to soften the edges of the distant trees and the foreground water ripples, I'm curious why you blotted with a sponge after the fact rather than pre-wetting the paper selectively to get soft edges?

[@TimWilmot]

Hi, I find a gentle dab with my spontex sponge (quite soft) does the job for me and it's a bot quicker. Good question!

Once again, such an informative video! Thank you so much!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@TimWilmot]

Glad it was helpful Felicity!

[@julliettecarignan8563]

I so appreciate your sharing your process and especially your thinking and decisions, especially about how you plan how you'll handle all of the tricky aspects. When you do that first wash, is your support on an angle?

[@TimWilmot]

Yes at an angle of 10-15 degrees. Never level.

[@davelester1985]

One of your best.

[@TimWilmot]

Ooooh thanks Dave!!
