    He said from the on set he prefer realistic painting. I've seen some beautiful styles that are non traditional. Emily Carr ring a bell. Western Canadian artist. Emily Carr school or art. Brilliant. I think developing your own style is very hard. It must be unique and developed over time. The left is not very professional. There is no definite or defined style. The artist did it loosely in 10 min. I have some stylized water color because that's the only way I cant paint with it. 😅

    Not sure I agree 100% with the assertions presented here. As a painter, there are some good pointers given. However, I don't think you can boil down beginner mistakes simply to hard vs soft. For instance, yes mountains in the distance will have a softer appearance...but you still want a sharpness to the mountain's outline. The same holds true for clouds. The soft/hard argument will dictate what kind of cloud your painting. Cumulus clouds will indeed have a soft appearance. On the other hand, cumulonimbus storm clouds will have a definite sharp outline to them that differentiates them from cumulus fair weather clouds. Just depends on what kind of cloud you want in your painting.

But it is a pain sometimes keeping it on after a while. So the bandaid tip is for sure something i am going to try out. Thank you for sharing!

    This technique certainly applies to realism landscape paintings. What I love about art is how there are many different art styles where soft edges are not required for them to be amazing and sell for millions of bucks..like Warhol who painted a soup can, Pollock who dripped and splattered paint on canvas, or Picasso who created outside the box and co-founded Cubism. That's the beauty of art...there are no mistakes. What one considers a mistake, another could consider it a whole new art style. But I can appreciate this video because it applies to your style of painting, which is one of the more technical styles and also more difficult, and you gave thorough visual instructions so it was helpful.

    Look up Picasso's realism. He could paint well. I think he got bored with it. He probably also thought what is the point. If someone wants a realistic portrait or whatever, just take a photo. I believe that what is painted should look different than if I could take a photo of what I am painting. I however dislike cubism.

    True, but this video is referring to unintentional mistakes. The “bad” painting was trying to look like the “good” painting, but failed at doing so. If you’re going for hard edges, and a flat, 2D look, then by all means go for it. But if you’re going for realism, the “bad” painting failed at it. It’s one thing to intentionally do Impressionist art, it’s another thing to attempt realism and end up with something that looks like the painting on the left. Impressionist artists developed and perfected their styles over time... it wasn’t a mistake or a side effect of bad painting techniques.

    Diana Morales then try water mixable oils. No turpentine or thinners required. You can also use oil with very little thinners. Blending, much more opaque colours and working time all make oils easy to start out with. No racing against the clock before the paint dries or lower layers always showing through when you paint over them.

Your tips hit the problems right on and I look forward to checking out more videos, especially acrylic. Also, I love your enthusiasm, it's not overly done and accurately resonates with the joy I feel when parts of my painting come out right.

    Honestly, I love both paintings as each have an element of good values. I think you should use the techniques on the right if you're going for that richer, more oil painting aesthetic (or realism). The left side looks cool if you're purposely going for a bold, almost cartoon like picture depending on your art style. So, there is no wrong or bad way, just preference lol.

    The left is totally 'amateur' - all the world's great landscape painters had soft edges and some hard edges [ few]. Wow I can't believe you have such poor understanding of the landscape - go out and look - there are no hard edges in nature. If you are doing poster work hard edges work, but it's not for this kind of painting. The stronger the chiascuro [light and dark] the more you can add some harder edges.
