Finishing Touches

Have you ever finished a painting and not been quite satisfied with it? It was almost there, but you wondered 'what if I did...this...' but you're scared of ruining the painting?
This video shows a little trick I use to help you audition small changes to your work without committing them to the actual painting. Hope it helps, and happy painting!

    Very nice, Carl. Thank you for the demonstration. The gorgeous transparent color in those trees really popped with the dark values. I have used an erasable black marker (like the ones used on white boards) with a plastic sheet protector to test values on paintings. That way it's re-usable. Watching you make those patterns was so educational for me.

    Learning to see in terms of value patterns was the greatest lesson I learned. And I learned it by studying books by great watercolorists. Thank you for the nice comment.

    I can see exactly why you adjusted the painting. Definitely more “punch” in the lower section. Ending up having your eyes “stare” at the picture more. With a boring film, it’s difficult to watch again…. “Nothing to see here attitude”….., but a great film, you can watch over and over without becoming bored. With this picture……. having made the adjustments, I want to “eyeball” the scene over and over. Thank you for the video 🔥😎🥰

    A piece of glass also works very well.

    I thought the painting looked good left alone. The dark added, took away from the beautiful fall trees in the background and it created a line. Maybe a mixture of midtone and dark, so a line is not created.
