Good job! The swooping cloud shapes are very effective and your foliage is spot-on. You're definitely doing something worthwhile during lockdown!

Wow, I’ve just looked at all of your paintings and you’re really good! Your vegetation is phenomenal

Thanks If I am honest I think the clouds are a happy accident !! I thought I would tried to add shadows to make it give a direction bur didn't know what direction i would get :) learning as i go ..

Milo ..Thanks you are very kind, never a million years thought I would paint !! never tried it before. Have you watched that video by Yovette on painting bushes and there is another one on trees, she is really good I just followed what she said as Bob goes bit fast, have a look if it helps.

Hey thanks for the tip David! I’ll definitely check out that video! Happy painting!

Great job and the details. Especially that grass in very front is very nice! This painting is different from others, composition is more complex. This lockdown wakes our creative powers!
Waiting for your next painting.

This really doesn't look like the painting of someone who has only started just now! Great job!

Did you do a lot of technical drawings in your job?

Hi ya Felix thanks , no it is .. its only lockdown that made me have ago I watched that Bob Ross chap for a bit on you tube and ordered some paints and things from amazon. The thing I hadn't realised in painting is you paint from back to front . I didn't do much technical drawing but i did alot of computing in my old role and computers draw things the same way. Once I realised that by watching Bob Ross I thought I would have a go .. I quite enjoy it but unfortunately used all the paint up now .. A positive to come out of lockdown in the UK I guess and I have learnt something in the process. Good website its nice to share things at this difficult time. All the best.

I sure hope you keep painting even after the lockdown! You really are a natural

Thanks sunny lady I have unfortunately run out of paint now so will hang up my brushes, but I have enjoyed having a go , I actually did 5 paintings in quick succession. I like that fact you can make different effects, it is a very interesting and enjoyable pastime , I have learnt a lot, a small positive of lockdown in the UK. I like your paintings they are very good.

When we are done with lockdown please continue with painting. I think with what you already did you shall go on.
Also I can recommend Jacksonart website to get supplies. They are UK based and they deliver even to Russia.

Thank you for your kind words about my paintings. I appreciate it a lot.

Thanks sunny lady I have looked at the website it looks very good and I will probable get some more at some point. In the set of paints I bought I have still got yellow and reds left and a bit of black and white so might try something today as I notice some people paint very bright scenes, I have a small canvas too but it will be awkward with the big brushes they give you in the set. I think it might look a bit odd as well but i might give it a go. Thank you for pointing me at the website. Enjoy your painting at this difficult time.
