Thanks.

I started painting (by accident) at the age of 48. That was 6 years ago. Been watching tons of videos on KZread, but really feel like I've struck gold with yours. Both relaxing and informative. By far the best. If there's one thing I'd change it would be to make the videos longer. I think most people would like to see more.

We’re planning to launch a Patreon with longer videos later this year, if you’re interested please stay tuned.

Well done & great insight

Nice work, Colley!! You’re a master. Love your videos. Wish I were in Europe now for your workshops. So much more to learn.

Thanks Laura; we’ve got three more weeks on the road.

Great job, Colley! I still have trouble tightening up too much. Even when you put details in, they are so loose. Simply beautiful.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Great study with a simple backdrop but just enough detail in the tractor. As it was America was that a left hand drive tractor? LOL Love these little sketchy videos. Thanks again. Graham

I can only paint left handed tractors; I end up going in circles otherwise. 🚜

That was really well done. The trees in the near and far background are beautifully done-so many nuances of greens. Love the tractor and the way you did those front tires-really good brushwork!!

Thanks Adam.

It's always incredible watching you develop every thoughtful stroke (or maybe better, each spot of color) as your paintings move from what might be random abstract shapes into a recognizable and light-filled scene. It's great to see you back on a regular basis here. (On a completely different and crazily personal note, I was salivating the whole time as you laid down the slate blue undercolor for the treeline... it's the same hue that was part of the sets we used in US grade school of Binney & Smith wax crayolas many many years ago. This one was called "cobalt blue." That wax stick was by far the best tasting...!)

Well that’s definitely sounds treasurable memory; thanks for watching.

I admire your smooth strokes. I can’t get the paint that smooth no matter how much medium i put in. Could it be the quality of the brush? I use basic hog bristle. Do you always use the synthetic? Or just for detail? Also learning a lot about grass colour and temperature. Noticing that the greenery in many artist’s paintings is ‘yellower’ up close than the reference, and bluer in the distance. Is it just for emphasizing aerial perspective, or maybe also because the bluer green grass would look too ‘primary’?

Beautiful to see it come together Colley. Was wondering - after getting the bigger shapes like the basic structure of the tractor and then coming back to refine a bit later - would you remix the paint needed to match or would you retain it on your palette? I struggle with getting too detailed at first I think partly because I have the colors all mixed, and so want to get it done so I don’t have to later go back and match things up. But it may be that as I get better at mixing that won’t be as big of deal?

Yes, I never pre-mix or rarely keep paint mixtures. I would recommend to learn to mix as your paint, it will make your work stronger, and add your own authenticity.

Great sir. I noted that you generally use ultramarine blue for the far off green mountains or features. Is it correct? Please guide

@colleywhissonartist

Correct, I normally use French Ultramarine Blue as my standard and only blue.

Great painting! Do you use any medium as you paint and what kind?
