I never met Louis, but my friend Mike Parsons used to talk about him

Don’t feel dejected. This takes a LOT of practice. It’s not as simple as it looks. There’s a lot of fundamentals to know to achieve results like Mr Bronkhorst. It appears deceptively easy, but your looking at a professional artist that has painted for decades. To achieve such an expert look, doesn’t happen overnight. Your experience isn’t unique, so don’t think it’s just you. First, it should just be fun. Mistakes shouldn’t be considered failures. They are experimental learning experiences. That’s great benefit to making mistakes. This shouldn’t cause you any sense of pressure. It’s your creative happy place & your learning brand new skills. Part of it really is the journey. If it gets to be too much, step away for awhile, or even a day or more, until you’ve a fresh pair of eyes to view it. You’ll likely see things you didn’t before. Watch a lot of landscape videos from different artists, even if Mr Bronkhorst is your favorite. It will help you. If you want to paint in this looser method, I’d suggest staying away from painting tutorials on realism or hyper realistic landscapes. Watch videos of master landscape artists works. Believe me, your brain will absorb it and you’ll start to notice some of it coming out in your own paintings. Look at some videos on scale and perspective if you need to. Finally, just practice, practice, practice. You’ll get there 🙂🙂🙂
