Thanks so much for linking the reference photo, it's so helpful to see how you solved the problems and did certain techniques but then to try it on the same image myself.
This was a surprise for me. I’ve painted this exact scene of San Giorgio church in Venice at least three times and I’ve learned to connect shapes, as you’ve impressed it on me for ages, so that’s no longer a problem. But the thing that surprised me was your colour choices. I still try to render the real colours from my photo ( late afternoon or evening, whatever). Why do you choose to go with different colours and how do you choose which ones? The results of your choices always seem to work!
Thank you Barbara 😊🙏🏼 So happy you also tackled this scene. Frankly I sometimes simply use the basic colors I love, such as french ultramarine and yellow ochre. There isn’t always deliberate planning in that regard (: There is, however, a lack of adherence to the colors I see, which is probably the responsible factor for my result. I hope that makes sense! (:
Liron, thanks for the videos on simplifying shapes and letting it go loose... It’s hard for me to go out of details but thrilled by what I see - so am trying out some paintings based on the mindful tips you have provided. Thanks again
Just the advice I needed, I always paint too much detail, i know I'm doing it but i end up spoiling my paintings. I will now hear your voice in my head to "keep it simple" thank you 👍
Yes, I probably use it in a very personally interpreted way haha. I usually do mean the opposite of artificial. When I say organic colors I mean something like “natural, harmonious, look good together”. When it’s in the context of shapes and composition, I think I mean a “natural looking shape, not too rigid or bound by what I see in the reference, but perhaps a little idealized and simplified for the viewer’s enjoyment”. I hope that makes sense haha!
Thank YOU for VERY Good 👍 Advice.

I really enjoyed this video. To start with simplifying the sketch is a great advide... Thank you!

Yes, me too. It seems that simplification needs insisting and much practice.
Great advice
❤❤❤👏👏👏🙂
What is organic? It does not compute with me. With me it means nothing artificial.

@@LironYan Now that i see from whence ye come it does indeed make sense.
