I LOVE this painting! I am truly a beginner having only tried one of your beginner's easy Hake tutorials. I had never even seen a Hake brush before that and found it so exciting to use. I plan to try this one in the next few minutes. Your comments about not worrying if the first try is awful and just keep practicing really hit home. Thank you for sharing your techniques and for your really encouraging and well explained tutorials.

I am fascinated from this landscape .. already did three attempts..only low success.. for me the essential topic is about water management .. one of the basic influences on the outcome is the amount of water involved on the paper and on the brush - may be you could explain this in more detail - thank you cheers Jörg

Thanks Lois. Lovely light. I think I'll try and adapt this tutorial (rather than follow it) to a reference photo of mine. Hopefully I might learn something. Just one question: your paper seems to keep its dampness even when you added wide strokes in the sky on the left and as you kept adding trees with the rigger. Do you ever have the nasty surprise that your paper has dried too much? Do you spray it in that case?

Hello Lois I liked your painting so much and tried it. You are right, not easy despite how easy it looks in your hands. I found the hardest part was to keep up so the paper did not dry out, despite this I enjoyed doing it with you and just stoped the video as needed. Have a lot to learn managing the hake brush and getting those wonderful white streaks across the water. None the less I like my painting very much and I thank you for it. Do you use several hake brushes each with a different paint and also a clean one? Marguerite Aye

enjoyed watching you paint this, love the cat interruption. Do you always have your trees tilted instead of vertical? The trees in the back ground the scratched in ones? at the end i wanted that to be the light side of the trees you were painting in darker, lol. My head kept trying to get your brush to follow the lighter scratched in ones with the dark paint. funny how we see things.
