For color matching, I simply put the photo under a sheet of glass so that i can touch the color basically, on top of the photo, for comparison. We used this method when painting billboards, except we used clear acetate.

[@danielsargenti4046]

Interesante!

[@MichaelJamesSmith]

That's a great idea!

The FIRST thing I riveted to, not flirting here being ±30yrs older, is the unique colors in your 👀peepers, one would think you painted them thataway, eh? Zoweee. I, uh, did spend time just studying them to figure out the multitude of facets. But don't mind me, I am a curious bloke. 🤔 A magic trick? Did "it's just a stick" become a dowel? Excellent rock lesson, it works sooo good vs painting each pebble, fluid marks & changing colors then whip out the cat whisker brush to tie it all in.... Brilliant. And you are a paint whisperer, such muscle control as if painting with your breaths. Yes, I'ma waiting, for the transparent water video. The UK isles seem to have rivers only inches deep, all over. Must sit atop a grand boulder that the waters just can't cut into easily. Would just love to walk in them. ❤👍🤠

Join Michael's painting school if you have the money available, you will learn so much about oil painting :)

[@evelyndominguez4757]

Are all the lessons priced individually?

[@bigears9984]

​@@evelyndominguez4757no mate, it's a monthly fee or you can subscribe for the year year and it's very cheap compared to what you get.

[@MichaelJamesSmith]

Thanks for the recommendation

بسیار زیباست

[@DorimantHeathen]

I often have problems with details, the thin brush and / or the paint seems to drag, or to behave like a dried out marker, but if I try to make it more “runny” adding oil, it gets transparent like a velatura. What’s the kick here? Thank you ❤

[@MichaelJamesSmith]

You need to get the get the mix just right. You need less medium than you think. Also a good quality oil will help tremendously!

[@DorimantHeathen]

@ thank you so much for your kind reply!

[@StephenDoyle-oh8hy]

I'm really trying to improve my art. What's not clear to me here is if they're is any trying ti e before moving on to the next colour, or areas in the painting. Hooevyou can help with that 🤔
