This is a great lesson! As always I learn something new each time I watch you. I love that you said not to take the picture (reference) so seriously. This really spoke to me as I tend to approach a project with the goal of matching the photo instead of creating a beautiful painting that looks like a painting. Like you said, you already have a photo. I also appreciate how you showed us how to correct or adjust something already painted. It reminds me that nothing is permanent and I can have a little more freedom in my painting. Life is a canvas! Thank you so much for all you do!
Glad I watched the whole thing through…. laughed so hard when Ginger said put clean cloths up when doing the spray and there she put up 2 painterly ones! Gotta luv ya Ginger!
What an enjoyable tutorial. Thank you for explaining the what’s and why’s of your painting. At first I couldn’t believe that you were doing away with the back wave….and then you did. It was a vast improvement and a perfect example of your “what can you take away without taking away from the painting?” That example will stay with me whenever I paint from a picture. Thank you, Ginger! 🙂
Good lesson! Thank you
Thanks Ginger for this lesson. It helps to see how a wave works. Love it. Hope to do it soon. Nina
