How To Stop Overworking Your Oil Paintings & Improve Your Brushwork With These Simple Rules

In this dog painting tutorial I talk about how to stop overworking your oil paintings by limiting your brush work. Very often bad value and temperature choices, and or a bad habit of perfectionism can lead you to making this error. I discuss how I avoided making the same mistake in my own painting and then give some simple rules to help improve your brush work. I am NOT paid for using any of the products in this video. All these items have been purchased by myself and used in my daily art process. The views expressed in this video are my own.
The colours used in this video are:

Thank you Sarah! tThis is a very valuable video.The bit about your struggle to do what you have been taught is exactly one of my issues

[@sarahhallidayart]

yes, I've come to the conclusion that it can actually be very difficult to just free yourself to go where the painting wants to take you. I'm still practicing and trying to do this 😀
