You're awesome!!! I love the way you smile just at the end of each video! :D Great stuff can't wait to get painting! :)

[wilsonbickford]

@pyka10 Yeah, I'm "all business" during the actual lesson. I just don't want to leave out something important. LOL Then, I can smile when it's all over. LOL Glad you're enjoying the lessons. Give 'em a whirl!

We orderd a paint set art.So I can paint again oils.I don,t do backgrounds well cause I want to do all of it same time wet.

[wilsonbickford]

@7466309change Most of the time, I put my backgrounds all in while it's "wet". That gives me the softness that I'm generally looking for in the background. Sometimes, it's best to let the background dry before you move on to the foreground and closer subjects.

i think that you are a great artist and you have shown me things that it has taken my art teacher to tell me over 5 years at school thanks and your a amazing artist!!!!!!! :)

Really helpful, thanks. I've wasted so much time in the past painting birch trees without a fan brush. Question: how important do you find the fat over thin rule? For example, you were painting the branches over your base layer with a very thin, solvent medium rather than an oil medium. I often do that too when I need to paint smooth, fluid, but opaque details, and I've started to worry that after a few years it will crack (to the annoyance of anyone who has bought it).
