    On days I don't have time for a full painting I'll do a thumbnail to remind me. There's less detail. Using it in composition is great 👍. This is going on view later as well. There are so many valuable tips I'll need to do a replay at a later date. Thank you ❤

    I think I have made most of these mistakes at one time or another. You can always redo a painting and call your flubbed up painting a color study. Live and learn! I think the one I do the most is not doing thumbnail sketches enough as well as a thorough color study.

    Very useful tips will definitely work these into my work. I find as I get further into a drawing my pencil pressure increases. I have creased many pages of sketch book paper in a single stroke. You would think constantly reminding myself would do the trick but the hand stays defiant.

    Thanks Michelle. I like to put streams in my landscape paintings but they always looked off. I knew the water needs to look horizontal but I’d not get the curves correct. At some point I’d have a section that would come down vertically and it would look off and I couldn’t figure out how to fix it. Now I know.

    I had set today aside to do some art, but procrastinating over what to do. This covered more than one subject I have trouble with, so time we'll spent. I do love the trick using a strip of paper to get the right size for objects. Will be using that. I also have had lots of problems with getting my paths and waterways looking natural in the landscape. This will certainly help. Thank you for your 'cat approved' tutorials. I really like them

    I haven't made any of these mistakes in a long time, but what I never thought about is taking a line out to a corner. I never thought about using an embossing tool, but that is a good idea. I've done the Bob Ross style of painting for years so I just painted everything and haven't drawn or used any kind of pencil since high school, so all of these colored pencil tips are really useful. Thanks for this.

I forget about grasses being shorter in the background, etc. Thanks for the care and time you put into the explanations.

    Your very helpful advice delivered in your charming voice is so inspiring. My not making a thumbnail sketch has always resulted in problem compositions--now I will ALWAYS do them. And you tip for using a paper helper for determining relative size of objects in a landscape was brilliant. I'll watch this video several times to ensure that all of your tips are in my Art File in my head. Thank-you!

    Hi Norman, graphite is what modern pencils are made of so should erase in the same manner. Once the sheets are no longer new they won't make such a strong line.

    Hi Michelle, I definitely make some of these mistakes, but I am learning more as I go, especially with instructors such as you to learn from! I think the Landscape course looks very interesting, but I would like to know how long each module is and when (e.g. what day etc.) it will be available. Is it pre-recorded etc. I don't use Facebook so would it be possible to communicate with you outside that format. Thank you!

    You can always email me with specific questions at art@michelewebber.com Modules vary, the course is static, meaning you can access for lifetime, stop, start and drop in and out, although I may at some future point add extra or bonus modules (you will get these free). Each module contains downloadable PDF's and a video to watch, with photos and exercises, usually between 15 and 30 minutes. If you click though to the sales page you will get an idea of total video time and the number of lessons, pdf's etc. There's also a FAQ section at the bottom of the page :-)
