All of us have feelings of uncertainty about our artistic practice. That colors how we express ourselves. Sometimes it is worth just pushing through that uncertainty and being bolder.

    I have one more question.... Do you use bristle brushes or synthetic brushes? Sometimes your paint looks really smooth like a softer bristle brush but your brush looks like a Robert Simmons bristle brush... I'm not looking for a brand recommendation but a bristle recommendation... My natural style of painting is very similar to what you do... That's why I really connect to your videos... But I have yet to be really happy with brushes. I have tried synthetic brushes and I have tried bristle brushes... I have never used sables.... What bristle type do you use?

    @@cloverhoney6203 I use hogshair filberts. The company I loved Manet, French, went out of business a few years ago. Held their shape forever. I mean until I grounded the bristles away. Now Robert Simmons is fine. Trekell. I don’t mind synthetics but for thinner paint. I think you need the hogshair to hold more paint. All the best and best of luck.

It is a little overwhelming, but your book, Mastering Composition and your You Tube demos are immensely helpful. I am trying to do a daily sketch and your demos are inspirational and keep me motivated. The whole process of trying to learn a new skill is pushing me out of my comfort zone because I have to tolerate being clumsy before my skills improve. My favorite part of this demo was watching you struggle with the wall. It helped me to see that even experts still have moments of challenge. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

    Ah, yes -- I agree with the simplified shapes of "wall 1.0", although "wall 2.0" is lighter and brighter with more sunlight hitting it, and I love that. I painted plein air the other day, for only the second time in my life. I went fast and loose with it, and the shapes were distorted but the colors were harmonious, the values were decently accurate, and it was very charming. I went home to the studio in order to "finish it", and unfortunately I lost its freshness. I think your style of painting and your careful compositions make an amazing statement with the bolder strokes. I hope you keep doing this.

    Getting stuck in the "should have" zone is absolutely the worst when you're trying to repair mistakes. I've been able to eliminate many of them by having a sheet nearby to test any effect I'm not familiar with before applying to the work. Of course, this doesn't chop down every problem (and if you're doing work that matters, it never will) but the experience you have could be the difference between one of drama and one of horror.

    It's a good point Travis. It makes me think of that move baseball players make when they are tight on time and are throwing to a baseman. They do that first little pre-throw, just to make sure they don't rush and throw wild. It's like that. Just test it first. All the best.
