A great couple of paintings. You make it look so easy ……when we know it really isn’t!

Thanks! Glad we can make it look easy because it's totally not.

[@CedricWilliamsFineArt]

[@jennifernichols8403]

Another GREAT session with you guys. I love both paintings and seeing your process. Thank you for sharing..

[@paintingwithlindseyandnate8007]

Thanks Jennifer!

[@Neorhim]

Really interesting to hear you comment your own work and the work of the other. It takes a lot of humility: exactly what is needed to keep learning whatever up your game you are. It is beautiful to see you in process.

[@paintingwithlindseyandnate8007]

Thanks so much!

[@122fresh]

Terrific-thanks Lindsey & Nate! Fun and informative. Can you share your notes on easel, Lindsay? RIM LIGHT!

[@lindseykustusch6322]

Thanks so much John!! That's actually Nate's old easel that I use, so those are his notes on the bottom. At some point we'll film a closeup of them! :)

[@momopaints]

I like both paintings just as they are.

[@lindseykustusch6322]

Thanks Kathy!

[@LeslieStroz]

Hello from a fellow American artist in England! Lovely paintings. Happy to have discovered your channel. 😊🎨

[@stevenshackelford1937]

So helpful listening to your ideas. Great video!!

[@usetherightbrain.]

Awesome, and I'm a watercolorist. Could I beg your indulgence Lindsey, to post that list you have stuck on your easel? I'm of the inclination that there is ALWAYS something to learn ( and usually admire) with every artist. Thank you immensely.

-What’s the point of the painting?
-Make sure drawing is accurate before starting with paint
-Keep shapes simplified and generalized -Compress and simplify values -Thin to thick, fat over lean -Use the biggest brush you can -Mix a ton of color -Establish masses of local tones for entire painting -Hit areas that will change the most first -Don’t get caught up in detail and eliminate the unnecessary -Don’t worry about mixing the color you see, mix the color that works -Check painting in mirror frequently -Step back and take breaks -Leave undertone where it can be left -At least one strong horizontal, vertical, diagonal

[@paintingwithlindseyandnate8007]

So sorry for the delay in responding! I we moved from the UK back to the US 4 months ago so it was total chaos for a while. This ewas Nate’s old easel and It’s just a guide for things to think about when plein air painting. It’s easy to get overwhelmed when you are outside painting so when you lose your way, it’s time to step back and check the sheet. Mrtheluckybucket pretty much nailed the list in his response. The list is comprised with the things Nate has found to be most important for developing a successful painting.

[@paintingwithlindseyandnate8007]

You nailed it! Thanks for responding. I totally missed this comment to our video.

[@paintstorm1]

Knocked it out of the park with that one Nate. Way to go!

[@paintingwithlindseyandnate8007]

Thanks! It was a fun one to paint, but definitely challenging

[@belladini4754]

[@charmcrumrine8750]

Both of these paintings are outstanding.

[@paintingwithlindseyandnate8007]

Thanks for saying so!

[@sorenutube]

Takes a lot of courage - and obviously in this case skills as well - to take on motifs of that nature. Results are fabulous.

[@paintingwithlindseyandnate8007]

Thanks so much!

[@johnhoffmanpaintings8512]

[@1Thedairy]

I thought they were very challenging subjects to take on, particularly on such a small scale, but you both did a wonderful job.

[@paintingwithlindseyandnate8007]

Thanks! they were definitely a challenge

[@lindseykustusch6322]

Thanks so much LeBot!

[@LearningPleinAir]

Great job guys, I think you had two tough compositions but I agree you caught the essential elements and they both turned out really nice!, Thanks again great critiques! 😊 👍

Thanks so much for the lovely comment, we appreciate it!!

That is definitely in the works, we'll keep you posted! :)

[@JavierGarcia-cv2sb]

@@lindseykustusch6322 fantastic thank you!

[@wishlist011]

Took me a while to bump into your videos and instagrams. Glad I did eventually. Great work. Spotted the video of the visit to Richmond first. That's local for me when there are no travel restrictions.

[@doughilborn9447]

Such sweet paintings. Love the critique at the end. Gave insight into the thought process.

[@paintingwithlindseyandnate8007]

Thanks Doug we appreciate it!

[@deborahrech7429]

Beautiful paintings! Loved the critiques, they brought out subtleties I would have missed.

[@paintingwithlindseyandnate8007]

Thanks Deborah!

[@scottydont7904]

Very impressive. Makes me think its time to step up my game and quit painting easy subjects out in fields and go downtown.

[@paintingwithlindseyandnate8007]

You have to try it! It’s hard, but really fun.

[@19dleeg66]

Nice vid you guys! Awesome paintings as well :-)

Estou aprendendo muito com seus vídeos e muito bom

[@40bdg]

Very nice! Painting goals for sure. Could you tell me what kind of easel and chair you were using for sitting? First time watching you guys, and I had to subscribe!

[@tracybrusman9538]

Fantastic!

[@paintingwithlindseyandnate8007]

Thank you!

[@katyhutchinson7013]

Beautiful, can you share your notes on easel Lindsey?

[@lindseykustusch6322]

Thanks Katy! That's actually Nate's old easel that I use, so those are his notes on the bottom. At some point we'll film a closeup of them! :)

[@williambrooks6629]

"In drawing the hairs, you lost the cat". Henry Tonks. Perhaps more attention to the focal point. Having said that, it was nice to watch two talented artists at work.

[@paintingwithlindseyandnate8007]

Thanks!

[@eyeofventure]

Coolness

[@anniemcaward8363]

Beautiful paintings guys! Lindsey, was wondering what the typed words on your easel were? Thanks for sharing ❣️

Thanks so much Annie!! That's actually Nate's old easel that I use, so those are his notes on the bottom. At some point we'll film a closeup of them! :)
