Today I tackle a scene I discovered on my trip to New Zealand in 2023; is it just me, or is the air thinner up here?

I adore this painting! There is so much to look at, yet it is very calming.

Your son’s painting was very nice and he handled the light and color well. I would say the major difference between the two is in the drawing. That’s where I think most amateur painters struggle the most.

[@billrodiger7697]

One of your best. Well done.

Thanks Bill.

Glad you enjoyed.

Beautiful painting! I see that you decided to change the direction of the light - why was that? Thanks!

[@colleywhissonartist]

Good pick up Jim; unfortunately we attached the wrong reference image to the video, the image used is the scene later in the day.

@@colleywhissonartist That explains the foreground as well. It was really throwing me.

Great painting. Love how you ignored the lighting in the photo and created your own.

[@marshadavis-riley5754]
