    This was exactly what I needed tonight. Your tree skills become all the more apparent when I attempt my own. I enjoyed this very much, indeed. Excellent example of foreshortening, which I really needed. All the textures and contrast you achieved, was something I needed to see you do (yet again). A fantastic tree!!
    Thank you as always, Professor Sludge!

    I really enjoy watching you paint, it's amazing how you transfer gobs of paint into something amazing. For my likes, it seems the front of the tree is too white. Not saying it's wrong, i liked it when there was darker area's making it look more narley..

Life a tree I find myself telling myself again to just stand firm and still letting the wind blow through me like leaves on a tree, knowing where my roots are and travel to water in my soul. I’ve learned about my journey in life and in painting. Thankful for you in so many levels in my Spirit. Call it the Holy Spirit or just another human being connection that I personally needed today. Many may just watch and listen but I tend to feel in my inner soul. God bless you🙏🏻💜

Cette fois vous peignez sur une toile, ce qui me prouve que votre façon de peindre fonctionne sur toile.

    Since toy asked;
    "Let Her Rip" - Meaning and Origin Meaning: If someone says “let her rip,” it usually means to go faster, to speed up. The “her” in this case typically refers to a vehicle, like a boat or car. This phrase can also mean “go ahead,” as in someone is given permission to do something.

    50:18 longer videos like this is great
    - you can create a shorter version and or time lapse of the long ones as well-
    (Have a look at Art of John Magne Lisandro) his shorter version of full tutorials- it’s the right speed- music - that’s captivating- just an idea- BTW I suggested this to John years ago-
    The shorter time lapse are mesmerizing and for those on the go-
    Amazing how you sculpted that trunk- it magically came to realistic life with texture- the shadows- bark etc !

  • @maxboonkittypoison

    I sometimes drop off after 50 minutes or so. And watch the rest later. But i always want to see the whole video. I even like the music. So when there is music playing at the end of the video and wil let the video go all the way to the end even if there is no more visual. So i like it when the videos are longer. But youtube wil see it as me dropping out after 50 minutes but i have seen the whole vide3o. Hope it wil ease your mind thinking a lot of people dont have the interest in your videos to watch until the end. It is not 100%
    So now i am watching furder again after a good night sleep and a whole days work :) I just wanted to place this comment bevore i forget wat i want to say.

    Thank you very much for another outstanding lesson on painting. This tree is magnificent and your teaching style is involving, clear and captivating. It's always astonishing how you can add expressive marks to the picture with just a few movements. Of course, this is all due to your talent and experience.
    I've always been keen on visual arts, and with your encouragemnt, I'm trying my hand at using brushes and paints.
    I keep repeating to myself:
    1. "Think that you can do it"
    2. "Don't think "clouds", their are just shapes"
    3. "If it goes wrong, wipe it and try again"
    4. "It's just a paintig"
    and thanks to you I'm having a lot of fun.
    In my opinion the longer the videos the more I learn. It's always entertaining to listen to your explanations and anecdotes. I can't wait to see the glazing session.

    Don't worry about video length for an unknown audience. Paint what you decide without apology. Viewers can each decide how they watch - live or later to pause or skip ahead or bookmark for another day or rewatch from the 22 minute mark. You give a good range of information regarding paint application techniques, art theory, thought processes, guidance with explanations, positive & negative suggestions, and always encouragement to try it for ourselves... Aside from these mainly verbal contributions, the most important feature is being able to see what you are doing or refering to. Keep up all your efforts. Your painting process is fascinating.

    I prefer long I think but I have to confess I am guilty of maybe not even clicking off but turning off and going to be a tree painting master. Your methods are amazing. Your enunciation (if that's the word) of what's going on in your head is very engaging. I think anyone who paints watching this has felt the pain of some of these simple decisions that you clearly have as well and brush it aside like a master.
    You worry far too much about being in the way. You do you. I think if we all could get a Christmas wish is for you to do what I'm sure is the last thing thing you want to do. Set up a few cameras with proper lighting and have an editor do the work to make it pretty.
    The work you do as I hope you know is deserving of a larger audience here.
    You've inspired a new business idea for me, thank you - I'll let you know how it turns out
    peace.
