Hello James, wonderfull "job" and wonderfull "tips and tricks".. I have a question. why do you coat your paper with casein before painting ?? Thanks
@JamesGurney 5 жыл бұрын
Good question, Laurie. The base color gives me something to influence the colors that I place over it. Warm colors add a snap under the cool snow, kind of like hot sauce on noodles. If I want, I can totally cover it up.

I was thinking the same thing but it would give him the opportunity to show his awesome painting to the cops. It's just advertising and he could give the officer's his info and when they go back to explain the situation to the home owners he could get a commission from that.

I wish i had a car (or could drive 😅) luckily the view from our flat is immensely valuable for drawing and painting at the moment. (Big construction site). I wanted to thank you for your content. I thought i lost all my artistic drive and inspiration and should just leave it. (Artistic burnout). But then this construction site was there, inspiration struck, und then your videos gave me the courage to try gouache, try limited palette, try new thinks. Just for the sake of it. And im so grateful i can draw and paint again.

I personally love painting loosely in impressionist style; with some form of abstraction through brushwork. Your composition, brushwork and color choices are interesting and admirable, especially the split brush technique which is quite clever. I might try that technique for painting bushes and plants.

Brilliant,.. ingenious,... useful,...anything else? Oh yeah, I want one! I have a little 6x8 thumb box pochade from Open Box M that works well too, for oils. I used to paint out of the back of my truck with shell in Tahoe, in snow, that worked ok, but I got cold, better to be inside where you can turn a heater on. Now I'm in AZ where it is too hot sometimes outside to paint, but ways can be found like this, and turn A/C on every once in a while!!

Then I could add something under it to keep it stiff and in place. Maybe the noise isn’t too bad with the enclosed front porch, just a guess on my part. Thanks again, hello to your wife.

A felt sleeve is a fantastic idea. It would fit over the steering wheel like a glove.
