Scott, that was an amazing painting! Green sceneries are so hard to do and you nailed it once again!

[@ScottRuthvenFineArt]

Thank you so much, Kay! 😀

[@katyhutchinson7013]

Glad to see you back!

[@ScottRuthvenFineArt]

Thanks Katy! I’ll start the Tuesday night demos again later this fall. I can’t bring myself to be indoors just yet 😉

Very nice. I like the idea of blocking in the different shades. I’ll try it. I would like to see what you are looking at while you are painting. I really like your narrative too. Thank you!

Just found this. Very good. I have a hard time seeing the whole picture but picking out shapes was helpful . Thx for sharing

[@ScottRuthvenFineArt]

You’re welcome 😊

[@paulaverger4129]

Thanks for the study. Beautiful. Are you still doing the Tuesday night live demos? Do you notify the time before hand?

[@ScottRuthvenFineArt]

Hi Paula, I'll begin the livestreams again over the winter (likely November) - Tuesdays at 7PM Mountain time. Subscribers are also notified. I'm glad you're here!

Inspiring and well explained, as usual. Thank you for sharing, especially how you selected the image to paint. I learn a lot from your technique and how you explain value and temperature of each color. Loli

[@ScottRuthvenFineArt]

So good to hear from you, Loli! Thanks for your kind words. You know, once we start to see the world around us in terms of relative values and color temps, we can paint most anything.

Pause at 6:37 you’ll see you’ve formed a shape of a face on right tree- continue to 9:02 the face is more pronounced- Can you see it? There’s - pareidolia- where one can see faces- objects within clouds - rocks- trees etc- It’s astonishing that many don’t see this- here it’s very obvious- there’s two eyes and a long nose..:: side mouth- head shape- even the left tree has two eyes- just an FYI- step back have a look and keep this in mind- when creating shapes- I learned this from Bob Ross- Pause 9:02
