Another great demo Tim, it's always a great pleasure watching your vids, thanks for sharing!! I've done some painting from photograph on my channel and it is a challenge!!

[@TimWilmot]

I'm not the only one facing the challenges then!

[@judyfranklin9577]

A very informative tutorial and a beautiful painting , I have a problem drawing people , ok if there is a door close by but if not I find it difficult to decide on the size . Is there a rule of thumb I haven't yet discovered ? Thank you Tim for taking the trouble to demonstrate for us ,you explain it so well .

[@TimWilmot]

I suppose if you do not have a reference point to start with say the height of the figure, then just lightly pencil one in and see what it looks like in the context of the picture

[@FranEgui]

Very valuable teaching. Thank you!

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Fran

[@judyfranklin9577]

Thank you for your reply , I suppose the more you paint people the easier it becomes to get them the right size , I must take courage in both hands and try !

[@TimWilmot]

Keep practicing

[@fabiomaffini9290]

Nice work Mr Tim!

Thanks Joan

[@davidnixon381]

Here's something I'd love to see you discuss. I can see that you are very conscientious in selecting your motifs for demonstration. I've heard you frequently say when doing the first stage drawing that you like to proceed from left to right. My question is from the left to right of what? That is, there was an earlier time when you were confronted (especially plein aire) with the whole visible world and then you decided how you'd frame a portion of that world as the subject matter for a painting. Only then is it possible to talk about moving from left to right, if you see what I mean. I'd like to hear you discuss the process you go through in doing that. What are the key elements of your decision to drop the picture's boundaries in one place rather than another. I could speculate but I'd like to hear you talk about is explicitly. There is some of that in your #54 video, I know. but you are already working from a photo which, perforce, already establishes border considerations (to be later modified). Anyway, thanks for all you have accomplished in your videos in demonstrating how a relaxed painting style is achievable.

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks David. I mean from the left side of the paper to the right (generally). You raise a very good point about choice of subject/composition which I hope to cover in more detail in future videos. Thanks again David.

[@z.z.1205]

Another very nice tutorial. Much to learn. Could you tell me which brand your dagger brush is from?

[@TimWilmot]

I think it is pro arte. It was a cheap synthetic one

[@markmaynard6551]

Does an entity that creates a software program (FS2020 for example ) own each image that a random computer can generate randomly in a private home ?

[@TimWilmot]

Sorry I am not a legal expert

[@abcd1234783]

Mr Tim. Please, can I ask you? did you use photoshop program? for me is very complicated. Do you use a more simple one to crop your pictutres? can you tell me which one? is free?

[@TimWilmot]

just the one that comes in windows

[@jakepeters4370]

I noticed that you mentioned your paper is cotton based. Is it a mix or is it 100% cotton?

[@TimWilmot]

I guess it might be a mix

[@andil.2983]

Very nice walkthrough, I had a try myself :) . One question. You talked about not using other peoples photos as a basis for paintings but at the same time this tutorial features a painting with a copyrighted photo from you. What about the copyright of your photos? Did you ever thought about using or mentioning the terms of use or license that your material is released under? What happens if I paint a piece of art based on your tutorial? Can I then post my art that is based on your material on social media? It would be much clearer if there would be some terms of use, or a license (e.g. a Creative-Commons-License).

[@TimWilmot]

Hi Andi. I have no problem in using my subject photo or painting for your own painting. I only ask that is you post to social, you reference my name please. Thank you

[@josieb.herrera4770]

Great job! How did you decide what size the figures should be?

[@TimWilmot]

Something not too big in the foreground or too small and lost in the background

[@kelliestapleton6582]

Is it a one time pledge equal to one painting review? Or a recurring amount each month?

[@TimWilmot]

One project normally each month or two. You pay when I publish and you are signed up

[@ЛюдаЛобанова-т9б]

Good evening ! Мг. Tim, is you use rigger brush , when you painting trees? Yes? Thank you!

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you!

[@jmeyer3rn]

Sometimes a bit too negative.

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks for the feedback

[@WooshaBaloo]

In what way?
