I’m sorry to hear it’s so difficult to get oil painting supplies in Indonesia. Would it be possible to do watercolors or gouache instead? Any plein air time is so worthwhile so I hope you don’t give up on the idea. 17,000 islands are a lot of potential painting views!

I would never know you used a black and white reference - the colors are completely natural. It’s a beauty, Wayne!

Welcome! I hope you’re happy to be doing art again.

Thank you for such a lovely comment, Pine Cone.

I think you solved the problem! These are beautiful! I like how they have sharper edges but still look like prints with unexpected surprises here and there. Martha Z. Is quite an artist - wow!

These are so nice! Both show off your style so well but I really like the skier. Sounds like you had a great time!

Nice one! I want to go see what’s around the bend. I like the tiny bit of warmth in the distant trees.

Thank you Terri. It is a serene place when my son’s dogs aren’t running around among the lavender plants. 😄 Thanks Christine. This is an oil but the glazing concept is the same. I wonder what alcohol does to oil paint? Maybe it would reduce an overly glossy look and give a matte appearance...

Thanks TK. The reds were a challenge for sure. Thank you Christine. I did try to pay attention to the edges so I’m glad they work.

This is wonderful news! Thank you so much TK and Christine for keeping this amazing place going! We all appreciate your efforts very much. Best wishes to Ayin and Hannah as well. ❤️

Keep up the good work, Bart! What a success!

I think you got a beautiful print, Rikard, and I’m sorry I don’t know anything about printmaking with watercolors. I make prints with acrylics on a gel plate but it’s a different process. Have you tried this on a smooth plexiglass or do you need some texture for the gum arabic to work? Would...

This is so beautiful, Wayne! Your acrylics look so much like oils and I’m exploring all the brushstrokes and textures. The soft light coming through the clouds creates a quiet mood. Is this a busy area in the summer?

Thanks Jo. My son will wonder what I did to his face but there’s hardly any room for a face! Thank you so much, Grapes. I probably should have tried glazing on something else first but I really wasn’t planning on keeping this. If you have success with glazing I would like to hear what works...

That’s what I needed to hear. Thanks Wayne. I’ll try to redo that part of the sky.
