    To tell you the truth, I kind of prefer it when a KZreadr has trouble creating art. I enjoy seeing their process for dealing with "errors" or whatever to make something pretty. No one will know if a line is out of place or the trailer too short. Only you know it. Well. And the people who watch the video and hear you point out a flaw. I've decided that unless one is setting out to create a photo-realistic rendering, everything is "impressionism". I love little trailers and how wonderful that you found one that was doing something instead of just looking adorable.

    Hi, Lindsay! I really appreiciate it when an artist on YT shows it "warts and all"! It helps me to feel better about my own "warts". So thank you for that! I can also relate to making a mess of a painting back in the studio when the plein air session was so good. I have thousands of photos, but can never reproduce that sense of ' 'being there', in the moment, when I try working from them. I also find it hard to complete a painting begun outside once I'm back at home... So I still take all the photos, but very rarely use them outside of teaching situations where the students can learn a lot from working with and from them. Instead, I focus on other things at home - still life, and various other topics. I'm just useless at working with photos, regardlss of topic, full stop! It's odd, because I write up, illustrate and add photos to my holiday books and plein air sessions from photos, notes and tapes made while we were / I was there, and as I'm writing, working on it, I can be right there in the moment, seeing, hearing, smelling....yet it doesn't work for painting! Weird, isn't it! (Holiday books: one copy for me, the rest for family and close friends. Plein air? I used to write them up for my forum members, who loved reading about and seeing the photos of the scenery, the atmosphere, the people I met, etc.) Anyway, thanks again for honesty and open-ness! 😊
