    absolutely gorgeous! I paint mostly beach/ocean/island/palm tree scenes, and you have given me some great hints on my future paintings......how did you keep your paints so wet? seems like they would have dried sooner. thanks for sharing your great talent...(I painted back in the 1980's and quit, and just restarted painting 1 year ago)

    Thank you so much for your wonderful comments!! I'm delighted to hear that you have started to paint again after a hiatus... it really is a fabulous way to spend our time! As for keeping my paints wet - that brand is quite "liquidy" and then I simply use a LOT so it doesn't dry quickly. However, with other brands that are more creamy or buttery you could try a little acrylic medium in there to slow the drying process.

    Thank you for your lessons! I just wanted to mention, and I hate to be that person, but I do want to say that positioning your horizon line using golden means vs putting the horizon right in the middle will automatically create a visually pleasing effect. When you take a picture and frame that same picture with a horizon line in the middle and also reposition it to be in the golden means ratio (I’m sure you are familiar with Fibonacci series and how nature demonstrates it everywhere, it creates a naturally pleasing experience, and one just feels the harmony, without even realizing. To simplify, the horizon line should be 1.68 vs 50/50. Also- let’s say, you’re painting a beach scene, but your focus is gorgeous clouds- you would put the ocean part lower than the middle, and vice versa if your water and waves are the focal point, then the horizon line will go above the middle. Try this on your camera. Take a photo, and then edit it with the horizon line is right in the middle, and the other one using golden means ratio- you will immediately see that somehow, as if by magic, you feel more peaceful and harmonious when looking at the one with golden ratio. This also can continue with vertical golden ratio points (as in, don’t put a tree right in the middle, put it 1.6 off to the side. Then, there could be secondary golden ratio points as well. Of course, overusing it as if to shout to the world that you didn’t miss that day at school on Fibonacci series, is also not a fantastic idea. I also wanted to add that you are a million times better artist than me (my craft is music).

    Thank you so much for your detailed and positive response! You're absolutely right about the horizon line and the ratio, and hopefully some of my viewers will read your comments and have a better understanding of the concept as well! 🥰

    Any tips in case your paint goes under the tape? I had a few spots under tape…eek.

    If your paint does go under you will probably need to wait until it's dry and then do some touch-ups. Either by re-masking at a slightly higher level (thus re-doing the horizon edge completely) or filling in gaps with a brush. It's very common to get bleed at early stages - the important thing is to work out why (tape not sticky enough, not pressed down firmly enough, pushing too hard with a thick brush full of paint?) and then hopefully next time you won't have the same problem.
