You know you've done well when the painting has more interest than the reference 😊. Well done 👍 ❤️‍🩹

Thank you for such an informative video. I really enjoyed seeing you work with your palette and especially enjoyed you listing the colors you used for each part of the painting - that is really helpful as I am learning about color mixing.

I know you said you wanted to get rid of the up and down mark making when you first put in the distant vegetation, but it did remind me of how plants might grow in a sand dune, with little triangles of sand trickling down between clumps of vegation.

Thanks Matthew 🙂 I’ve totally stolen your method of wetting both sides of the paper ✨👌🏼✨

Ack!!! Raw sienna!!!

Are you using a John Pike palette?

[@rhondagarrett3976]

Do you always wet the back of your paper? It seems like your paper stays wet a long time.

Matthew White, I think at the end you darkened the foreground water too much. At the beginning it was more beautiful. A couple of sharp and dark dry brush marks for the foreground water might have been better. Also the reflection of trees wasn’t completely dry, and when you swipe the brush, that green color mixed into water. I love your paintings but sometimes you’re darkening foreground too much 😅 I am not a master, I am learning from you and many other artists. But I think sometimes we need to skip the rules, and just do what the painting needs and what we want. 👍🏻
