I’ve been sketching a waterfall scene before painting it, but haven’t fully had an idea of painting it. I’m so glad for this video!

[@tarangsinha]

Very striking. The texture on the rocks and the trees. Plus, you have a different, unusual style of painting waterfall. Can I try this. Will mention you, of course. :)

[@Createfulart]

Yes, absolutely! Give it a try. That's what my tutorials are for. :D Thanks for sharing too.

Gorgeous❣️

[@Createfulart]

Thank you! 😊

[@calmilitaru643]

Beautiful! How do you keep you palette from drying too fast?

[@Createfulart]

I use the Sta-wet palette seen here: www.createfulart.com/art-supplies.html

[@dianecheshire7937]

Thank you, do you let the paint dry between layers?

[@Createfulart]

Most of the time. If you want to mix the colors don't let them dry. If you want to go over colors let the under layer dry first.

[@pamketron]

This is simply beautiful. I love to watch you paint. Great tips. Are you back home in Alaska or still on the road? ☀️💕Happy Day! 🐝🦜🌳🌸

[@Createfulart]

Thanks for watching :) Still on the road but traveling slowly.

[@pamketron]

Createful Art Enjoy the journey! ☀️
