I try to build a persons confidence when I teach, so you can get a good result by just painting it as I have. However, if you want to add lights and darks then that will add a new dimension and show your individuality.

Hi - no I cover light in another video which you can view on virtual-artstudent. This was just a quick example of using acrylics, colour mixing,directional brushstrokes and layering. Of course, you can take it further by putting lights and darks on afterwards. 3 minutes is not a lot of time.

small question, what types of brushes are best used for impressionist painting? what kind of brushes did you use in this video? Thanks!

[VIR2LART]

@goremi Hi I use synthetic brushes, called "flats" i.e. they do not have a rounded tip, but the bristles are cut straight across. I like the way they move the paint around - you have more control with them. See more about brushes on my website virtual-artstudent

@VIR2LART - I realize you do not cover light in this paryicular video. What I meant is-- when someone is beginning to attempt this piece and they start adding the dabs of paint SHOULD any thought be given to light and dark or are you basically laying down any colors anywhere?

Hello Dee,

I have a question for you. As you go paint this piece, is anyt thought given to actual light direction and where lights or darks should be-- or is it really all just laying down an array of colors ? I didn't see this covered and just wanted to inquire. :) Great teaching though!!!

Thank you so much for your excellent demonstrations, explainations and tips. I have just begun painting and found your demos most helpful and interesting. You not only have an obvious artistic gift but you can pass on your knowledge..a great teacher. Thanks again. Can't wait to try them myself.
