That perfectly sharpened beard, that gumdrop smile, that passion for mashing a paint filled pallet knife into a canvass to achieve detail. You are an asset to humanity Rich, Gum those tree's and talk me to sleep. Luv Yah Bud.

[@JeHaVe]

I totally agree!

[@kathleenm3443]

Thank you so much for narrating each color that your use. It is so helpful. Also thank you for going long form, where you allow us to see you produce most/all the painting. Gorgeous countryside too

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

You are so welcome Kathleen!

trees greens and blues pinks and reds colors burst softly with lines and threads and standing trees beautiful and strong a trail to oblivion twisting and long awaits beneath a morning sun light dancing to and from calling softly in the breeze morning dew on sleeping leaves

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Fantastic Stuff Dale! Thanks :-)

Many thanks!

[@cherylfrank6468]

The colours are exemplary! And that linen canvas must be a dream to work with… The white is daunting, but the beige is inviting. Both a challenge, and you are winning either way. A stunner, thank you…

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Thank you! Cheers!

У меня сегодня таковы события, что особенно радостный день ! Плюс усиление радости от нового выпуска моего самого любимого Художника и всей душой чувствую, что и прекрасного Человека с большой буквы! Ричард, доброго здравия и процветания тебе! Очень правильное название нового ролика: здесь, действительно, свет и настроение полного умиротворения. Свет настолько реален, что если бы не видео, то можно подумать, что розовый на горизонте всего лишь фантазия художника. Но в твоей съёмке виден этот розовый светящийся цвет и это ошеломляет! Воистину, Австралийский континент - земля райской благодати! Она светится этой идиллической пасторалью... 😇 Эвкалипты настолько живописны по своей фактуре и цвету коры, что их стволы для художника являются самым вкусным местом для наслаждения отображением... Браво Мастеру! Люблю твои масштабные полотна; в них ты раскрыт максимально! Что есть Свет?! - искрящийся воздух, преобразованный божественными мыслеформами через радужный спектр. Всё это есть Волшебство, которое и наблюдаем через твою подачу 😍 🥰 😘

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Здравствуйте, Елена! Большое спасибо за ваши замечательные комментарии!!! :-)

​@@richardmusgrave-evans9886 Благодарю, Ричард! Всегда искренне ❤

[@tanna1812]

Wow. That is amazing. I don't know how you do that. I mean when you put the close-up camera to it, it just blows my mind how perfect it is and so many beautiful colors that blend perfectly. This is a gorgeous painting. You are my favorite artist. I learn so much from your videos and love how you explain everything about the composition. Simply perfect. 5 stars.

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Hi Tanna, many thanks! I really appreciate!!!

[@LS-kg6my]

Such wonderful color choices - cool and hot pastels against neutrals - and strokes within the negative space. Such an inspiration! Thank you

[@friedricengravy6646]

U show us how deep ur vision breaks down the light & shadow. By doing so, u teach/inspire people to look closer at the sun sets & sun rises, other beautiful moments of contrast they already appreciate. Now they can find even more color.

[@margaritapr1868]

Australia is certainly an outstandingly beautiful country. However, when you paint its scenes, your paintings show a slightly different image, but always, always your depictions are breathtaking!! Thank you for this video, Richard.

[@billmcgavin142]

That was brilliant. A really great lesson in mixing and draughting. its really interesting watching how an abstract painting comes together. But now you put in those fine details so it can be seen a little easier when viewed from a closer distance. Is this a result of a changing art scene and what people now want or are you trying something a little new? Regardless a really great painting. Thanks again, Bill-NZ

Hello Richard. Wow what a superb painting with this mist accumulated at the bottom of the valley, a beautiful composition and great colors. I love the pinkish color of the path and the light in the foreground and the pinkish gray color of the shadow on the right of the painting. The depth of the scene is also superbly rendered with this tree in the sunlight in the 2nd plan and in the distance the more ocher color. Indeed a very sweet painting. Well done 👏👏🙂

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Hi Jacqueline, many thanks for the wonderful comments! :-)

[@copyrightshouldart]

I usually draw hyperrealism with graphite on paper, but when I paint I always felt a bit at a loss to just let go. I decided to try a bit your technique and use the biggest pallet knife or the biggest brush I have to put in the first layers, and voila! My hyperrealistic and even realistic brain shuts off and lets me just have fun. Really great work you do. Thank you for sharing your fantastic work and techniques with the world.

[@timjackfilms]

This could be your Best yet Richard, Wow! And the B-roll footage, heavenly. To be honest I thought you might have bitten off too much with the composition at the beginning, but that thought quickly disappeared when it came together so well, so quickly (by using your biggest difference technique - thank you btw 🙏🏼 and I sold my first oil the other day with some knife work so thank you for some wonderful inspiration over the recent years)🙏🏼🙏🏼. And with your splashes of complimentary colour and wonderfully constructed feeling of 3d space - it quickly turned into something Very special. Spectacular!

Spectacular painting and terrific video. I noticed at the 47:50 mark, there appears to be a pinkish building between the two large trees on the right center of the painting, but it's gone at the 47:49 mark. Did you change your mind about it and paint over it?
