Really cool concept for a video, really enjoyed this one very much, enjoyed all the artwork videos, like the style, liked the music as well, who's the music by?

That's a great idea to use two easels to support your large canvas! I've never seen it done before.

I completely understand that! My short term memory is just as bad. Must be all those paint fumes from growing up. Well, this one really came out great. I love the high key values that you chose for it. (so often plein air painters end up painting everything so dark, simply because it's so bright out there). And your details... the waves, and the cliffs... it's all so cool. Love it! ~Helen

Thank you.....

It wasn't so much a decision as the only way I could see what I was sketching... It was hard for me as my short term memory is honed to remember something a few milliseconds shorter. I usually line the easel up so I can look paint forgot the info.... I found I was looking and by the time I'd turned round I'd forgotten the info. The view in the sketch is about 150 degrees.....

Nice one, Jon! Looks great. Why did you decide to paint this one with your back to the scene? ~Helen Zapata
