Now I just found out your from texas too, cool beans. I just met a painter a while back named William Smith thats from George West, Texas. He paints well also. And at about 9:55, we all them dagger bushes but i think the proper name is yucca. Such a blessing. :)

[@LayneJohnsonStudio]

There's so many types of cacti and succulents across this area! And so many "local" names for things. :)

I wonder how long it does take to finish such a masterpiece. Of course, I've no painting background, but I like to watch paintings a lot.

[@LayneJohnsonStudio]

For this size painting it typically takes me about 4 weeks. But it all depends on the subject, size, etc.

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Princeton catalyst series are superb

[@LayneJohnsonStudio]

I think so!

[@christinefischerart]

Thank you Layne! Can you share how you use your mahl stick for adding detail? How you balance it on the easel?

[@LayneJohnsonStudio]

Hi Christine! You can see how I balance my mahl stick in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5-kfWinl8SIgLMsi=qRohu7cyuL8upntp Fast forward to about 2 1/2 minutes into the video and you'll see my bigger mahl stick that I use with my big easel. It's really about giving your hand and arm something steady to rest against when you're painting those details. Whether you're working big or small. :)

[@christinefischerart]

@@LayneJohnsonStudio Thank you Layne! You are the best! My husband made a mahl stick for me but your idea of having a hook at the end is genius.

[@NicholasStemmle]

Hey Layne, I really enjoy your videos. Where do you find your photos that you reference off of?

[@LayneJohnsonStudio]

Thanks! I take lots and lots of photos!

[@basiablazewicz5218]

Thank You Layne! Did You paint fog in mountains wet on wet, or wet on dry?

[@LayneJohnsonStudio]

I paint in layers, so wet-on-dry (most of the time). 👍

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

I think you are Princeton brushes fan...not Rosemary..

[@LayneJohnsonStudio]

Yep.
