    Good afternoon, dear Paul! I think all your pupils (like me) from East European countries who are now under the heat cupola of 40C+ would like to jump into your Iceland painting 🙂Great tutorial as always, lot of colours, light, reflections and necessary tricks. Get well and have a nice summer. Greetings from Republic of Moldova. Lilia Birnaz

    What a gorgeous, colourful painting. The salt effect creates a lovely shimmer. Could you have created the same effect on the water by using a blade? Thank you for sharing.

    Wonderful lesson!
    Thank you so much, indeed!
    As there is 35C in Kyiv today (and no aircons as electricity is 2 - 4 hours per day) Ukrainians especially like the subject!
    And please accept our sincere gratitude for your unwavering support!

    Hi Paul,
    Great video and painting as always. On the Nordic theme, I’d love to see a painting of some of the stunning landscape of the Faroe Islands. It’s an incredible place to paint, especially with the unpredictable weather. I would particularly recommend the Dunnesdrangar sea stack or Saksun lagoon and village.
    Thanks!

    Good morning Paul! Today is a good day to paint! I love how you show us all the details and colors to use. My palette is much worse than yours. lol. I wish I could join you for your plein air class. I’ve had some students ask me about doing one. Not in this heat! 🥵I’ll wait til fall. Praying your voice is strong and clear for it. 🙏🏻 Thank you so much for this inspiring video.

    Question... If I chose to leave the water and reflection out (yes, it's a bit out of my comfort zone and ability) what color(s) would you paint the foreground? Or, how would you paint the foreground?

  • @AmyBrauner
    @AmyBrauner 2 месяца назад +1

    Just a question for you: I notice you always list your colors you plan to use. I have to confess I am never this planned or disciplined about defining or limiting color palette. Is this just for the sake of the tutorial, or do you tend to plan paintings this way in your head ahead of time? Thanks for your help. Amy B in Boise, ID

    Hope you feel better soon Paul. Nothing like feeling under the weather.
    Inspite of that you still worked on the tutorial. Very commendable. Thank-you for your dedication to the tutorials. 🙏

    Hi Paul, I have just painted your little boy in the beach (my fourth effort) and deemed it good enough to frame for my daughter, so thank you so much. But this morning I set out to paint Winter snow scene number 2. I ran into trouble with the mountains and tree line. I could not get a hard edge - the paints all merged into each other. There was certainly no need to drop in clean water to soften the edges! Should I have dried off the mountains before painting in the tree line? I am uses Arches 140lb paper on a block. Thank you so much for all the wonderful tutorials

When you went to touch up the annoying white, unpainted spots in the sky I wanted to reach out and stop you. And remind you that the stars and planets are very visible and shine throughout the Aurora lit skies! It is not like a cloud cover at all.
