Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate techniques you use on your paintings, it’s so helpful. Through your videos, it has inspired me to do more landscapes, landscapes from my area in Arkansas.
Very helpful Layne. My sky holes never looked right; always looked like they there sitting on top of the tress. Now I know I needed to adjust the value a little bit darker. Thanks!
Thank you. Can you please explain what are the benefits of painting the sky and the tree in the same layer, and adding sky holes instead of painting the complete sky in one layer, and after drying, painting the tree in new layer, where you will have almost no need for sky holes efforts.
That's a really good question. I have done it that way long ago. Sky holes are an important element that helps a tree really appear real. The answer has to do with the phenomenon called simultaneous contrast. As I mentioned in the video, I prefer to make the sky holes a little less intense in both value and color. This prevents them from jumping forward visually - like they appear in front of the tree. So if you paint the whole sky, then paint the whole tree over that, the blue sky holes will jump out a bit visually - the solution is that you have to then tone them down. Another big reason is that I'd rather be considering the large masses of the tree instead of focusing on the tree's details. Details come later. Hope that helps.

Hi ! I have a question for you, how do you detail a tree trunk?
Well, that's longer than I can explain here. :) But check out my online courses.
