Beautiful...................

Beautiful. You are so talented. Thank you.

Hello, it is not an entire 90 minutes wet on wet painting! watch at 5:25, the paint is dried. it look alreary dried even before she starts using the knife to peel the excess paint. be sincere. thank you.

[drdarrow]

@Danetochoco - Wow, aren't you the private investigator! Did you notice that "she" is named David, has manly hairy hands? Ever heard of Liquin? It accelerates drying time. I use it in all underpainting.

Let's see your paintings -- I'll bet they are masterful.

I am quite sincere.

[drdarrow]

@drdarrow - You'll also notice at 5:37 the semi-dry paint smears. And for the record, I thought 'about 90 minutes' on a painting this simple was way too long. I should have been able to paint it quicker.

[CT2507]

@Danetochoco hahha... not a private investigator eh!?

[madlynda]

i love this painting, i watched it so many times and it always amazes me,

lynda.

[UncleRabbit1]

Oh drdarrow you are just too good!

[king0fthem00n]

interesting the way you hold a brush.

[drdarrow]

how's that?

[king0fthem00n]

In the beginning,especially, you hold the brush underhanded similar to the way someone might hold a stick of charcoal or pastel.

[drdarrow]

Oh, gotcha. Yeah, I approach painting like drawing, and once I made the switch to , say, life drawing, holding the charcoal as you have described, it changed everything about the way I approach drawings and paintings.

Good observant eye, you have there.

Really nice!

[tightgeist]

wow the blueish light is amazing

[xusmcguy]

Dave,

When you said it took about 90 minutes to complete, does that mean you completed it in one sitting without any breaks? I have been trying to figure out how you achieved the effect on one of the leaves if the paint was still VERY wet.

(

[drdarrow]

Well, all of the "effects" just about 'require' that the paint is very wet. I prefer wet-into-wet for the way the paint and edges can be handled. And, yes, it was all in one sitting.

[pwnstr08]

i thought you were a doctor of painting

[LuckyPeter888]

nice

[Palika17]

I want to learn painting. I love you work.

[rocklobster910]

it's not hard, try it.

[Palika17]

I am trying but nothing get the look I want. Maybe I have to buy some filbert brushes. I thank you very much.

[derby121]

brilliant work..

[bohemiantinker]

Dynamite & so Detailed! thank you for sharing!

[Dottieb54]

Fabulous-yes, how long did it take? Thanks

[drdarrow]

It took about 90 minutes. (Sorry I did not see this message for over a month)

[ScenicMike1]

Not bad David...How long in real time?

[drdarrow]

It took about 90 minutes. (Sorry I did not see this message for over 2 months)

[avalonartist]

Terrific. I could smell the damar and linseed oil.

[drdarrow]

That's amazing! I don't even use Damar and Linseed Oil. In fact, I use paint straight out of the tube, or thinned slightly with Walnut Oil only.

[avalonartist]

Oops! Walnut oil? Oh well...

[drdarrow]

That's alright... I knew what you meant... it has "art studio all over it..."

[sherrillchapman]

David, you are a master.
