I like that technique for painting clouds. Just adding random areas of water for the blue sky. I’ll have to try that one. Thanks.

So glad to hear. Let me know how it goes! :)

Girl you know I’m a fan. But I was wondering. When you’re in the shade is there a camera setting where you can brighten it up a little bit? These old eyes are having a hard time straining lol

Sorry, dear Moon! Believe it or not, this was MUCH darker before I adjusted it for the edit. (Apparently my Insta GO3 camera hates overcast days and deep shadows) As I mentioned in the video and in the community notes, this wasn't up to my usual standards of filming, but I felt I needed to include what footage I managed to get as I've had people at the gallery asking how I did this piece; so I thought I'd share as best I could. Next time I'll try to do better. Thanks for your patience. :)

Lovely painting, you make it look so easy. Could be interesting to start teaching painting online, just another hustle to consider. Well, I'm back on KZbin and revived the channel with one video getting over 100k views plus over 5k subscribers. My new channel is only 5 months old with one video getting over 350k views plus over 6k subs, let me know if you would like the link to the new channel, good luck

Hey RJ! I do teach, but prefer to do so in person. So glad to hear your new channel is doing so well! When I get some time I'll go and check it out. :)
