Great tips, discussion and painting. Very helpful! Thanks for sharing your expertise.

I was taught to begin with a monochromatic underpainting like you are demonstrating. Way back in 1970's.

Hmm I don't know if you had the problem I do now, but I never know where on the canvas to start from, for instance, if I start from skies I'll be stuck thinking if I should add more colors to the sky or just move onto other parts and remove the white zones from canvas...it always annoys me terribly since I don't know how to approach it in different stages, I see how you do it in your videos but when it comes to actual painting I cant deliver. I keep thinking I'm ruining the work. Do you know how to overcome this problem?

[@RobertHopkinsArt]

Question, using the dark values method first: I'm going to be painting a Van Gogh style of painting that has Cypress trees that sit "on-top" of the sky. Getting nice clean edges on the cypress trees "after the fact" of putting the sky in later will be difficult to do without making the cypress trees larger. The tree layer needs to be in front of the sky. How do you do this? Nice work, Sam!

[@dewarb8311]

Paint around them painting into the edges with sky colour ..then return a bit later and reinstate your darks again ..then your lightest lights on tree ..so they don't look stuck on and the sky then recedes..hope this helps .. from viewer ☺🤗🖌who paints in oils .. traditional painter 🖌

[@dewarb8311]

Then redo sky ..

[@RobertHopkinsArt]

Thanks!
