The side by side comparison is awesome! It’s easy to see how I have been overworking my paintings and ending up with fuzzy muddy areas. This is a great video for aloof us beginners!

Thank you Kristin for explaining how easy it is to over work a painting when we starting out as a beginner. The demonstration was a very good illustration. Have a great day. Can you show us more about “glazing technique” please - many thanks 🙌💕

Yikes...Overthinking, too many brush strokes ... I see my work in the "bad" painting. BUT, I am off to try the "good" techniques shown - thanks for the comparison!
