Thanks! The way the thick strokes describe reality so accurately is due to the mulit-hued color I load onto the brush. You have to be sure the palette knife picks up the right values (of many different colors) and then apply it in one clean swipe. From a distance it reads as the scintillating vibrations of the real world.
It will sink in eventually, but remember you may come up with an entirely different variation of this technique that is more suited to how your mind works.
Watching these, I am always amazed at how giant and bold your strokes are when you apply them, but how well they create the illusion of detail in the final work. Still trying to get my mind around that...
Excellent video, thank you for those great tips on creating blends of greens. Its a color that has always given me trouble. I'm going to try your suggestions on a piece I'm currently working on.
As a new painter, I really appreciate the information you give in your videos, thanks so much for your wonderful work and instruction, helping people is the best feeling I believe and you have helped me (and whole bunch of others) big time :) You explain concepts so easily which makes it easy on your students out here on the web :) Cheers from Halifax, Canada - Merry Christmas!!!!! :) Barnes466
