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.

This is so nice, Liz! You got a beautiful look of fur which is amazing. If you can figure out how to add in a background, or even a partial background, without disturbing the chipmunk it might enhance him but it really looks great as is. I think I've seen videos where the artist paints up...

You do such beautiful work, Balaji, and this is a wonderful beach scene! I'm sorry to hear about your vision and unsteady hand problem but I don't notice any sloppiness at all. Your washes blend so nicely.

I probably shouldn't post this because I'm not really happy with it but here goes. This is from a photo of my son working in his field under what in reality was a beautiful sunset. I did a little glazing of orange in the sky but maybe it's too intense now. I would like to learn more about...

It’s kind of sad to see the healthy pines in the background but I agree they are beautiful in every stage. Where would painters be if they couldn’t add a dead tree or two at the edge of a forest for contrast?

Too much road salt isn’t good for the grass and trees. That’s an honest depiction, Wayne. The weeds will probably come back. 🙄

What a beautiful design! The intricate thistles and leaves are gorgeous with washes of color.

Another winter beauty! The snow on the pine branches is so well done - just enough detail.

Beautifully done, Sno!

Thanks Wayne.

I forgot to mention how much I like the cat; a part of the family. ❤ The feet all look good to me and hopefully you can just suggest them with a few strokes so they won’t be noticed much.

This looks so good already, Grapes! It has a contemporary feel just as it is but I know you’ll enjoy bringing the figures to a finish. Would it help to get the sand brighter before you do the figures so you have something to compare all the other values with? Working from a black and white...

Anne, very cute lion cub! Joe, wonderful drawings, as always! Joy, I love the lizard too, and the background is so interesting! Greens are hard to work with but yours all work well together.
