    - looks eerily like a painting I did in high school, '68,'69 - but better - still the basic shapes and composition are the same. Now I can see how it could've been done; my stones were more grey, lines thicker... what a Pro! I enjoy learning

  • @bigg799
    @bigg799 6 лет назад

    Surprised to see how much black you use Michael? We were always told at art College not to use it, as everything reflected the colours around it. We were told black isn’t part of the spectrum, however, I think your paintings are great and exhibit real depth. I suppose you’ve got to try everything to achieve the look you want! Paint on Sir Michael.

  • @ramblingtiger3606
    @ramblingtiger3606 7 лет назад

    really nice painting.
    there's bridge exactly like the one you were painting surrounded by large mango trees. during summer all the trees become laden with green mangos and the pond is full of water hyacinths on one side and some lotus pods on the other. I have been thinking about painting it for a long while now but I am being a bit too lazy to walk that far on the other side. sigh*
    I think I will keep painting the ducks till then.

  • @brian300yds
    @brian300yds 8 лет назад

    Michael, you do great work.It's easy to see how much work you put into your painting. I was wondering if you use acrylic paint for your base "blocking in color" or is it thinned out oil paint? Thanks. keep up the good work.

    @mherlyn1973 8 лет назад

    Hi Michael. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Your paintings are amazing. I have a quick question : You use a fast drying medium with your oils to speed up drying time, How long do you feel is a safe time before you varnish? I understand you probably do not wait 6 months. Do you decide by touch (see if its still tacky)..? Thanks :-)

  • @carole.kratzkd6992
    @carole.kratzkd6992 8 лет назад

    I'm really enjoying your tutorials Michael.I use Winsor and Newton ordinary oils,so how long before I should varnish,and what happens if you do it too soon? Off to get a piece of batten tomorrow to rest my hand on,wish I'd done that sooner! Thank you.

    Hi Michael, just subscribed. Been watching your videos almost non stop since accidentally finding you on RUclips.
    Quick question, what would you say to those who say " if you want photo realism in a painting, take a photo!"
    I have come across this criticism at water colour classes.Many thanks for sharing.

    • @charlespeterson4438
      @charlespeterson4438 8 лет назад

      Hi Diane. You needbto be careful with turps or spirits in a confined space. The fumes are dangerous over time. Zest It or Gamsol are supposed to be safe but I'd still make sure the room is well ventilated. Liquid is ok, I think.
