I am enjoying these challenging paintings and the clarity in which you convey each step, Ginger. I also appreciate the man behind the scenes – and wanted to thank you both. for future reference, permit me to respectfully submit that the camera views on the left side of Ginger are very glary making it super difficult to see whats happening.
Cindi,
Thank you for the lovely comments and you are right about the lighting from the left side. This was one of our first large printing, large easel paintings and we are still working on making our lessons even better. We have improved since then and will only get better.
I had same problem – could not tell what color Ginger was mixing or using during any of the close ups – I know Jon is already aware of this by now
