Thank you. I have never been to the park so very much enjoyed the extra videos!! Thank you for sharing your color mixtures. Perfect and just what I need. I am 76 and recently starting oil painting sessions from an artist who is 78 I love it!!

[@JessicaHenry]

Wonderful, Ruth! I hope you enjoy many beautiful hours in the great outdoors!

[@sierrajohn47]

Jessica, thank you for taking us along on another creative adventure. Your detailed narrative of what you are doing is extremely valuable and your pleasant, casual delivery makes it so much fun to "paint" along with you! And, yes, you have motivated me, and I am certain many others, to go beyond plein air sketching to painting!

[@JessicaHenry]

That is so nice of you, thank you so much John! Awesome to hear! :)

[@claireryan8074]

I love how clearly you demonstrate your thinking process and freely share your talents! A stunning landscape!

[@JessicaHenry]

Thank you Claire! I appreciate that!

[@candacetroystudios]

Beautifully done. You are so inspirational and I feel like I go on vacation with you with each painting. So glad you are sharing this with the world. I can feel myself beginning to get motivated to do plein air again. I have not done plein air now for four years, so watching you is helping. Thank you.

[@JessicaHenry]

That’s wonderful, Candace! Thanks so much for your support! I’m glad you’re enjoying the journey!

[@jimreinhart9539]

[@anneburke2405]

Ah Jessica, you've done it again. Loved the tutorial, love the landscape. Thank you for taking me to a place I will never be able to visit & sharing your pleasure at being there.

[@JessicaHenry]

Thanks so much Ann, and it's nice to connect on Facebook! Sometime I'll have to come down to Australia! I have a lot of friends down under- it'd be fun to put together a workshop!

[@kateburlette5186]

Wow. You really created a landscape that draws me in and I can almost feel the sun and the mountain air. I love following your painting adventures. I am learning so much from these videos.

[@JessicaHenry]

Thank you Kate! We will be doing a workshop right there in Glacier National Park next July 12-15, 2018. Places still available! www.renaissancecreativearts.com

[@elviramarino1837]

Mi piace molto Como dipingi e sei molto chiara nelle spiegazioni . Grazie

[@wcwindom56]

Love it. I've never seen you use it but what are your thoughts on sap green for landscape painting?

[@elbrooks]

Beautiful! I am interested in what you'd mentioned about painting the water reflection. Was it paint downstrokes for the reflection on water then come back with horizontal strokes to put in the water's highlights? Also, random fact, I was driving by on I90 while you were painting this! Small world. :)

[@JessicaHenry]

Yep, I used vertical strokes for reflections like trees, where the water really had the illusion of looking "striped ". The mountains I used horizontal strokes. Afterwards- I did a stroke horizontally over the darker vertical water.

Your microphone is not working well. Hard to hear you on this video and the one with your 2 daughters.
