Your demonstration for using negative brushwork in landscapes was clear and easy to comprehend. Thank you so much for these useful tips which help us get past being too detailed.

I watch all of your videos , usually as soon as they’re available. Today I wasn’t ready to“buy in” to this topic of negative space when the video started. Lol. After listening, and watching, I realize now how that can really help the shape of the overall tree or other element. Thanks for the great information.

Good one Phil as usual. This is becoming my morning ritual, wake up, get coffee, watch Phil's channel, and go out into the studio (garage), getting warmer now, to paint, and try to apply what I just was taught, or more like reminded of, on the vid. Good one here, the "sky hole" thing, not just in the sky, too easy to make stuff look like "Swiss cheese", so restraint in the key, and remembering you are not documenting the scene, with bunches of detail, especially if it is out of your focal area of the painting but trying in to use all at your disposal, as an artist, to get a good painting. Not easy, but doable, to a degree, if you pay attention to the basics, and most importantly, Remember them, like you teach here. Cheers from beautiful Oro Valley, AZ, still not going outside to paint much, yet, but doing many small panels in the studio, as like the studies you always show. On a Sedona scenes, (from my photos taken years ago), kick lately. Tough not to make them look too "neon-ish", all that damn red rock. LOL. I need some nice music playing though, like you have when you paint!!

Yes, the nice thing about those wonderful places; they will still be here in thousands of years, virtually unchanged, so we all have a bit of time to paint them, once again, eh? ;D @@philstarke.artist

Many thanks! Negative painting is fun. I do not know why I did not do it more often. I was guilty of trying to paint in too many branches.

I’ve been working on a painting of an olive grove in Italy, so this is really helpful! I’ve been watching your videos over the past couple of weeks. I’m going to start another painting using this method. Love your videos. Thanks so much.

Thanks Susan, yes, using the background to shape up the flowers is very helpful, much easier to get subtle changes.

Great tips! Do I should wait the blocking layer dry before using this negative painting?
@normg2242
@normg2242 10 ай бұрын
I personally think - it depends on if you want the skyholes to be completely free from twigs and leaves and branches, then yes. But if your skyhole paint picks up some wet paint from the tree, it will look like there is still some more small stuff in the holes you paint, like twigs and leaves and stuff. So I would say - both ways work...

I don't wait for the first layer of paint to dry, it creates edges that are too hard. Make the second layer thicker so you can paint on top.

I paint the clouds and sky separately then use the sky to cut into the clouds (or trees) to create better shapes.

Phil: Can you paint in the negative shapes by doing wet over dry?

Yes you can, the edges get harder so you have to use dry brush to soften the edges a bit.
