What to say here …. no paint in these darkened days …. But for sure, you made an excellent painting here. That sky, the foliage …. very impressive!!!

Wonderful painting even with just few colors!

This is incredible how good is your blending, reflections and bushes. And this is just beginner step!

Thank yo for your comments, its interesting what you can do with little paint ! Suunylady Thank you for your direction on that Jaclsonart website , it looks very goos i will try ordering some more paint and canvasses but have no idea how long they will take .. but no rush I guess. Thank you both again for your comments

David, you are very welcome.
You know you can preserve residual paint by freezing it and using for the next painting.
In terms of dark colors you always can mix them together even leftovers as anyway they are used as base layer. I use little low plastic jar from the body cream with the lid to keep it in the freezer. Also dark messy leftovers of paint can be used to tone the canvas when mixed with the paint thinner. Some people find it helpful to paint on the neutral color canvas. In this case it needs to be dried before and then liquid clear can be used as starting media.

No bragging but I have an article how to make liquid white and clear when you cannot access BR supplies. Check it out. There are many other useful articles from our members: Voy, lightsnow, Dracula, Jin, etc.

Super ! It looks like you are painting for many years , not since the Lock down .from Germany „extra klasse „
