I love this one. You paint beautifully. May I ask a question about the paints? Are Artisan paints really runny or super thick. Why don't they need thinners and lastly how do you avoid mud mixing? Thanks, keep up the great work!
@Barrykee The W&N Artisan paints are just right. Not too runny, not too thick. Maybe about the consistency of toothpaste (for want of a better example!). You can thin Artisan with either water, or linseed oil. I usually use water if it's a quick undercoat, as it'll dry quick, but use linseed oil when I'm making my fake liquid white, or to thin down paint for detail. To avoid making mud only mix two, three at most, colours. Any more and you will get mud. Good luck!
could i recommend using a fan brush when you paint the ever green tree. watch bob ross do it and you should have an easier time if you did. just a suggestion you don't really have to d it if you don't want to.
@555erasercollector For the life of me, I just can't get the fan brush to work like Bob does. I usually end up using a flat brush rather than the fan (at times).
@gohvh I use a canvas textured paper which is made by several different companies. I don't remember the company names, but they're all pretty much the same. As long as it says on the cover that it's made for oil/acrylic use, that's the main thing.
@haha77ish The only difference between regular and artisan oils is that the artisan don't need any white spirit/turps. The artisan paints feel the exact same as regular oils to use. Anything you can do with regular oils can also be done with artisan, I highly recommend them for people who don't like the smell of, or allergic to, turps/spirits.
Very Very Nice !!
Amazing !!!

How do you like the artisan oil paints vs. regular oils? Are they just as good?

@haha77ish the Artisan paints feel exactly the same as regular oil paints, but are much cleaner since you need no turps!

Hm, I'm confused about the painting not having anything red in it: I don't know if it's good or bad...
I also missed windows and doors on the house reflections!

@Evaldas521 yeah the windows and doors were added later, forgot about them at the time... :/
As for red, it's a very strong colour and I like to use it sparsely.
