Love NYC work there all my 43 years love it. Trees are gorgeous thx sir. Great idea canvas board. I’m always looking at trees in the Jersey area. Love the lights and dark areas.

I really enjoyed watching and hearing this wonderful painting evolve. I like those blues in the background those cool reds in the foreground shaddow. Excellent. Glad you're enjoying NY and your family. 👍Thank you.

You’re welcome Dana. New York is a great place to visit and paint but a hard place to live.

Another great video. I love trees, but painting them is often a struggle. This is a great help, thank you, Phil!

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks, glad it was helpful

Trees were something I veered away from because they seemed so difficult. In the past year I've been catching on, and this video has helped so much. Thanks so much.

Thanks Phil for the video. I've been wanting to learn more about gouache for plein air painting. It seems like a really good medium for it. Less stuff and less mess to carry than my usual medium of oils.

[@philstarke.artist]

It is a lot easier to deal with, don’t have to worry about paint thinner or big easels. Good to travel with.

Why would you choose guache? Why not acrylic? I’ve always just done watercolor and pastel.

[@philstarke.artist]

Hi Judith, Gouache is a little easier to work with than acrylic, specially outside.
