I was to afraid to use my canvases so I used some acrylic paper that came with my paint set. I tried to follow

but my pc was having issues so I did it from memory. It was a lot of fun and I can see where I have to follow tutorials more closely in the future.:biggrin:

Here's the results of my mornings paint splashing. What a blast painting is.

Hello Dick,
good work as for first painting.

The only advice I can give you is to pay attention to where the light comes.
Do not worry beginning to define the smallest details but always looks at the design as a whole.

I think the river is too dark.

bye

I'm considering painting it again following the video. Is this a good idea or should I find a new video to follow? There are so many good ones to choose from. Free! It's amazing.

Yeah I totally forgot to add the shadows. I can imagine the river that dark but it needs some moonlight in it. Thanks for the tips.

Follow your gut. You know I often do the same painting several times and each time it looks different. In fact I'm going to do that Blue Moon painting again. It will be the third time.

For a first painting I have to say you did a pretty darn good job.

I know as you continue with it you will only get better and better. I have been extremely impressed with Terry and I suspect you will be the same. Look forward to seeing future paintings.
