Consider adding one last step to all paintings: Sleep on the painting and let it sit overnight. Come back the next morning with fresh eyes. Make a list of no more than five items to tweak. Stop there at five to avoid over working the painting. Fix the five or less issues and "now" you are done. Fresh, next day eyes see the painting for what it really is and not an imagination of what you wanted to paint. This has worked well for me, every time I painted a "keeper" painting! Part of the reason I mention this, in regards to this painting: The long blue stroke at the bottom/middle I would have broken up with a yellow ochre swipe of paint. The second tweak: The background cypress, in the middle of the tree: Break up the yellow/brown on the left so it's not a line of paint. Third Tweak: Add a touch of muted red/yellow to the big trunk of the tree on the left side to emphasize light hitting it (golden hour color). That's it! Great work, Alex!

Of course, returning to the painting after a while is a good way to finish a painting. I talk about this in my beginner course, as well as other ways to test a painting - play with different lighting and angles. Sometimes we add details that are a matter of taste, because everyone has their own direction of “observation expierence” - someone likes Van Gogh, and someone likes Matthew Wong, and someone thinks they both are naive and is a fan of Taner Ceylan. I do not claim to be infallible, and yes, perhaps the light square on the right behind the cypress tree should have been made softer, since it is not in the center of the composition. The other point you write about, to be honest, I just didn’t understand, probably because English is not my native language. I think it's important to be able to stop with constant improvements so as not to make the picture a little "contrived". Thank you for such a high level of involvement! I was interested to read your comment

Ahhh! I see now why you're using an AI background voice instead of your default language/voice. The conversion of your language text to English is just fine, so don't worry about that. Actually, I was referring to the cypress tree in the background. There's a yellow/brown line right in the middle of the tree that looks unnatural. It's like when you step back from a painting and later notice things you missed. Karen Margulis taught us this technique with her pastel paintings, and she swears by it. I agree with her-it can transform a good painting into a great one! A relaxed "eye", tomorrow, sees everything! (Text rewritten using ChatGPT) (Karen Margulis has a KZfaq channel)

Hi Alex, thanks for the video, it was fascinating watching the painting come to live with each stroke. For the underpainting, did you add a medium to your oils for it to dry so fast?

@Alex_Teal 2 ай бұрын

Of course, the underpainting is definitely done with the medium, I should have said this somewhere in the video, I hope this text was not lost in the editing. Turpentine, white spirit or gamsol. Very liquid so that the paint penetrates deep into the soil.

Has it gotten better or worse for you personally? Some viewers complained about the previous voice.
