Thanks Ron. Those auroras are some of the most spectacular and surprisingly easy to paint. But with ease come the chance of a mishap but thats life I guess - Paul 😃

Yes, they all have a certain something. Just goes to show how varied we can paint a subject. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a lovely comment - Paul 😃😎

Many thanks Steve. Think you'll love the simplicity of this weeks painting. I've been looking at it for two days to see if I need to do more to it. Sometimes a painting is finished before we realise it. Think I'll just sign it. - Have a lovely weekend - Paul 😃😎

I found it difficult to choose. But yes, 2 was lovely and bright. Thanks Laurie😃🥰😎

Hey Joseph - thanks for stopping by. I see you've completed the floral course now. Well done your works looking great. See you for some more paintings in future. 😎

Many thanks!

Hi Stephanie - thank you for your lovely feedback. I think its maybe more important to see how a painting can evolve rather than just seeing a pretty picture. Trying different versions is a tried and tested way that artist have worked for centuries. And its still a valid way of creating a finished painting today. Technology can help too. But sometimes its just paint on canvas thats needed. Colour combo's are something you will pick up. there are some standards that work well all the time like yellow / red / lavender / blue for a sunset or sunrise sky. But you'll find ones that appeal the more you paint. Have a great day and its onto the next painting today for me! 😍😎

You are very welcome

Hi Robyn. This was a bit of an epic painting for a week. I'm not making life easy for myself sometimes 😊 Its a subject that suits oil painting so well. Lets hope my next endevour comes out the same. I'm just starting the process a day later than expected. Ah well life comes first. Have yourself a super week and look forward to seeing all your 12" x 12" paintings on your channel @robynplummerpainting

Well done Amy - so pleased to hear your framing and hanging this one. See you for the next one. Now what shall I do ..... 💡💡 I have an idea ! 😍

@@PaulRansonArt I'm sure your idea is a good one😊 Any hints?

@@JayNAmyHiatt No - what a stinker I am 🤣 - OK so think tropical 😍

@@PaulRansonArt Ok, that's a proper hint😁 I've been working on palm trees and love anything tropical👍🏻

Your most welcome Jim. Thanks for stopping by and watching 😃😎

@@PaulRansonArt my pleasure!

Thank you. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. I've only ever painted this in oils so I have absolutly no idea about using a spray gun. But, I'm sure there will be some talented person out there in KZfaq land that knows. It sure would look good on a guitar! 😍😎

The black background is created with black gesso or acrylic and is allowed to dry completely. The liquid clear is still wet so that the colours can blend.

@@PaulRansonArt thank you

Hey there - good question. Its possble to reclaim a canvas several ways. If a painting has a happy accident and is still wet then simply scrape off the paint and use a little odourless thinners on a rag to wipe off as much old paint as possible. You'll need to leave the canvas to dry a day or two then restart the painting. The second option is a little messy but works well if a canvas has dried. I simply use some over gel! Thats right oven gel strips the paint off just as it would grease in an oven. Rinse well with water and air dry again. So a bit more labour intensive. My favourite is to simply make 'DIY canvases' They're made with heavy weight lining paper from the home depot and given a couple of coats of acrylic to seal them before painting with oils. Luckily I made a video all about this on my channel - here's a link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jciSbNNkzMqneI0.htmlsi=JyFjAbthTw54v4WW I have a few 'How to start oil painting' videos you might find helpful and to save a happy $$ too kzfaq.info/sun/PLia0kTctmZ_cjdl5rlQRjnYgBkiTBQ6wv&si=dlBcU9Q5lbFwL5-x

@@PaulRansonArt wow!! Thank you so very much!! You are the best!

Hi Jorge - no I don't have a more detailed tutorial for these. I think I've included enough of the technique already. But have a look at this video where I paint another version of the Northern Lights kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qpaDibxkvcfGiqM.html - Happy Painting 😎😎

@@PaulRansonArt Thanks a lot man. That's very kind of you... You are really a Genius in painting. I've have been learning to draw and paint for almost 2 years as a therapy for my post-traumatique stress, you know depression and anxiety. I'd really like to paint kind of similar to you. I love the way you paint... I am from Venezuela and I'd really appreciate what you can do for my learning... May God continue blessing you...

There must be an echo on here ... still wishing you a lovely weekend 🥰🥰

@@PaulRansonArt I often watch late because the network here is not always good. Besides, I do other things too... Have a nice weekend
