Painting Realistic Foreground Foliage

[@jbiss1966]

It's good to see the detail at normal speed. I have used your techniques with limited success for years, but it is only recently that I have realised that a careful, patient hand where every brush stroke is carefully thought out, ,is what is needed.

[@MrNyuntshwe]

You are a brilliant teacher who teaches with a true teacher's heart. I'm a hand to mouth guy from a poor country and cannot afford to take online lesson of painting, but your teaching helps me a lot. I'm 78 years old and not aiming to become a pro, but to fulfil my childhood dream and to enjoy my remaining years among my family members, friends and peoples who love arts and paintings all over the world. I feel you haven't hide anything and giving all valuable technics to us. I wish you more and more success, a good health, peace, and happiness to share with your loving family!! Thank you so much for your contribution!!

[@jubileej1629]

Your message is so beautiful. Bless you and your pure heart ❤

You've heard/read it all of how good you are. Praise GOD for the talent you are blest with.

Salve Michael, Ormai non mi stanco più di seguirti nei tuoi meravigliosi lavori, amo la pittura da sempre e tu hai contribuito a farmela amare ancora di più, mi hai anche trasmesso la pazienza per realizzare alcuni lavori, e tu sei un maestro insuperabile in quanto tale. Grazie dei tuoi insegnamenti, Dimenticavo: sono un giovanotto di 74 anni. Grazie ancora.

[@jaclynmwvasquez]

There! That's what I wanted to see, closeup, how you portrayed different tree species in a crowded forest. I'm genuinely ecstatic! Appreciate the sharing! ❤️🤠

[@hadelshamma519]

Breathtaking as always! Would be great to see a video of the water reflections of this painting

[@jorgenio11]

thanks for sharing

[@Artist_Crafter]

Thank you very much!

[@teresatsamis3221]

Beautiful.

[@marciahorton2203]

Thank you, thank you so much for taking away from your valuable time to show us in such detail how to paint this. When I see leaves on trees or bushes now I find myself seeing them painted in your style (wow, it's a lot of leaves) but now it looks like a tree or bush. Patience will be needed to accomplish this and practice for the color placement and shape placement. But what a fantastic journey it will be. I would like to see early spring scene. It is such a colorful time of year as the branches change colors and the trees flower and leaves sprout. Have a great day and have fun painting as well. From Southeast Michigan :)

How does he get the colors to dry so quickly, even after adding linseed oil? Is liquin still involved?

I work with acrylic and watercolor and have thought about oil but I don’t know about the orders and how you dispose of the chemicals you have to use to clean your brushes?

[@Vladosyo]

We need one hour version. For peaceful

[@gopinathannottath]

Hey micheal, when you paint an area with darker colours later then ehy you make it in lighter colours initially, I don't understand it. You are a great magician to express yourself in a beautiful manner, which reflects on your paintings in colours, I am a great fan of u micheal. I want to meet you in Sept 23 I will be in texas, can I?

[@CindyKincade]

I'm curious; what is the surface you're painting on?

[@MichaelJamesSmith]

Linen canvas
