You’re one of a kind, and I will say that your paintings are absolutely special. The colors are blending in together jus beautiful. I would say living pictures they are talking to you. Amazing.
Another masterclass on tone and colour mate. Directing the eye to the key area is imperative as you have shown here. You have the ability to give those trees character and shape with a few thrusts of your knife. Restraint seems to be your middle name. Those distant hills look beautiful. Look forward to your next share. Cheers, Rich
G'day CosMos Artistry, yes, tone is so important for directing the eyes around the composition! I just love those 'old warrior' gums trees and feel like I'm trying to capture there portrait every time I paint them!!! Thanks again for watching and appreciating my videos. :-)
Refreshing as also encouraging to know that you too pause a period of time before finishing a painting. I find that I get to a point and realise that I need to step back and just observe until I can see what is needed to finish the painting . When I see nothing more then I know the painting is complete. Thank you Richard for another fantastic session . I look forward to your next video
You're right Patricia, It is best to leave a painting alone for awhile if it is troublesome and come back at a later stage. Then go ahead with finishing the picture when you're clear as to how to put the finishing touches to it!!! Cheer :-)
Oh, that's the perfect amount of finishing, in my opinion! Wow! That tree on the right, in your painting...the angles are so beautiful. It's like I am really there, viewing it, as it bows up and away from me. Perfect.
I enjoyed this discussion very much. I really admire the way you bring a painting to life. And your understanding of color. And spacial relations. And implied detail. Lovely piece. BTW, I made a Damper in a cast iron Dutch Oven based on one of your other videos. Fun and tasty!
Hi Richard, just a few subtle changes, but the effect is like magic. Thanks for the tips and help...priceless. cool black and White effect at the end. that showed me lot as well. Many thanks for time you give, really appreciated... ordered my knives.. Bill
Hey Bill thanks! Yes little changes can make a big difference. The black and white really shows how the tonal values are helping to create the compositional flow through the painting 🖼 🎨👍😃
I enjoyed this immensely Richard, I have a painting sitting on my easel that I’ve been looking at for months, my first attempt at painting with oils, I’ll have a go at adding some finishing touches to bring it all together using the techniques you showed in this video, again thanks for sharing your skill with us.🎨
Stunning! Love it!! Amazing how a few strokes makes a big difference. Quick question, Richard. Do you often revisit paintings (or only when there were a lot of flies around in the day? 🤣🤣) joking. I find, when I get stuck with portraits, I leave it for up to a month, even turning the canvas around, and then go back with brand new eyes 🙈 Works for me.
Part of the reason the right hand hills are drawing the eye is that the eye always seeks the highest contrast places and sharpest edges first. It’s neurologically easier. So if you lighten a bit the edge of the dark next to those background hills, the eye won’t pop over there so soon.
Very similar to what I was Saying Cady! In this painting I was using Chiaroscuro techniques to draw the eyes out of the shadows and into the light. So the dark tone near the edge of the painting, helps the eye move through the rest of the composition!
Twisted and gnarled/ The trees stand weathered/ Years of silence/ Perch for feathers/ Shade for some/ And ants that gather/ Bone and dry and years gone by/ Reaching majestically, silently/ Toward the sky/
Your focus is vastly improved with only a little effort...bravo!
Thanks Johanne, that was my objective 🎨👍😊
I love watching you paint because you obviously love what you are doing. I plan to paint along with you the next time I see you painting.
Cool thanks Dyana! Sounds like a fantastic idea 🎨🎨🎨
Always blows my mind when I see the close ups Richard! So much movement and life. Gorgeous 😍 Thank you. Jill, UK
Hey Jill thanks! I love the texture of oil painting 🖼 🎨👍😃
It looks more abstract when you see the detail too, which I love.... suggestion!
@@RobboJ30 Exactly! Me too!!!
So beautiful Richard. So impressed. Thanks mate.
Glad you enjoyed it Alek, thanks mate!

The colors are blending in together jus beautiful. I would say living pictures they are talking to you. Amazing.

Your idea of keeping the wet on wet feeling is very useful.
Yes, keep it as fresh looking as the day it was painted🎨🎨🎨
Your instructions are very clear and helpful. Good show!
Glad you’re enjoying it thanks 😊

Works for me.
I try not to rework a painting if I can. Sometimes I will and like you say, much later with fresh eyes!
Part of the reason the right hand hills are drawing the eye is that the eye always seeks the highest contrast places and sharpest edges first. It’s neurologically easier. So if you lighten a bit the edge of the dark next to those background hills, the eye won’t pop over there so soon.

Another beauty my friend! Thanks 🤠
Aha! I wondered if you tweaked plein air paintings in your studio. 😂👍
I try not to and quite often don’t. But, sometimes I can see where the painting could be improved and then go ahead with it!!!
খুব সুন্দর 👌👌👌👍👍

Отлично

The bird sounds are nothing like the US. Can you identify them once in a while?
Might be a good idea!
