Original Creation

Longer Days

Kaylee 23 Mar 2022

I had two hours to paint and clean up so I challenged myself to move quickly on this one. Another 18x24” Pretty happy with most of it!

Really nice! Love the mountains and foliage!

Amazing mountains, the colors harmony is perfect

Pretty good, Kaylee. I spent three hours on my last painting, and that one didn't have as much detail as yours here. I suspect we forget that the more we jam into a scene, the longer it should take us (in theory, anyway). For you to get this much done in less than two hours...you must've been moving along. Great painting. And l love that it's an original creation, too.

Thank you Sandy, jimibasha, and Alex. I sure did move along on this one. For me I think it’s more about the illusions of detail which I am starting to really understand. Sometimes I tend to over thing the process and overwork a spot then just find myself covering it up later in the creation. I am currently working on my “less is more” technique 😂 big brushes and quick movements seem to really get it done right for me and I spend less time during the painting cleaning with more brushes 😅 I don’t think I will be trying to whip them out this quickly on a regular basis but it’s rather exhausting to spend 6-8 hours on something when the sun is shining, just begging me to go out and play so the best of both worlds I suppose! Thank you so much for your comments!

Great scene and the foreground rocks highlights really work well.
