Making autumn scenes is so wonderful! The colors are vibrantsโฆ life is good! ๐
Not my best compo but it was a real bliss to paint.
โ ๏ธ Update โ ๏ธ
I just played a little with my waterfall contrasts. This morning, I thought we couldnโt really distinguished my mini fall to the big one. So I reworked it a little. I added a little rock into the small one. Those a subtile changes, but they do make a positive difference.
Many many people would be happy to be able to paint like that, Nancy.. I really like the season and your color choice. Good job ๐๐ผ๐ฉ๐ช
So many exceptional things going on here. The trees. The colors. The bushes. Very beautiful
.
I love it, as all your work. The evergreens are really amazing.
Good one as always Nancy. <3
I really need to practice evergreens like those on the left side.
Looks like Nic's technique. Is it Nic's technique?
I have yet to follow a Nic tutorial, but I do have one on my radar: Northwest Waterfall. Plenty of evergreesn to practice with in that one. :D
Thank you Cold! โ๏ธ
Thank you my friend! ๐ฉ๐ช๐ I know what you mean, but when you know you can do better, you gotta admit it! The main thing is that I. The book, everything looks further. I ran out of space by about 0.75โ (~1.9 cm). Not much youโll say but it would have brought more distance. Plus, I painted everything a little bigger than I should. But I can live with it. ๐
Thank you much Tom! I thought of you while doing this one. In the book & video, itโs too well groomed. It was bothering me. I remember how fond you are of making everything more natural looking, โmessierโ. I decided to go for that look. I have to say that I am finally getting the hang of those evergreens. Glad you noticed them. ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฒ
Thank you bunches Bob! ๐
Many thx Titia! Yes itโs โNickโsโ technique. When I went to Bobโs celebration last October, I remember him explaining it very well. You do your branch and you go back to the center and do 3 taps down before doing a branch on the other side. To do a branch is again 3 taps down but in a diagonal. I finally got his technique after a few paintings.
I did Northwest Waterfall and it is a fantastic one to practice indeed. Try it. I know youโll make it look crazy good! ๐
Super as expected N!
Thank you very much B! ๐
Very nice painting. Love all the small details and variations.
So gorgeous with wonderful colors!
Thank you for explaining the evergreen technique! I echo all comments above; but my favorite tree is the very scraggly spruce on the left between the two sentinels. Marvelous.
So colorful! I also love the trees as well. Iโm going to start practicing the way you explained!!
Well done!
Thank you Ted! ๐
Many thx Sandy! ๐
Anytime H! Iโ๏ธ t's my fav evergreen too! ๐
Thank you Lc! It's really not that hard... just a little practice. I know you'll get it too!
Thank you Jin! ๐
Lots of crowded foliage in this composition, and you pull it off wonderfully Nancy.
Thank you Tony! ๐
