Medium: Linseed Oil 

Surface: 9x12 inch Acrylic Primed linen panel

I always focused on getting the sky lighter as it was near the ground but never thought about warmer towards the warmer vs cooler. I also never 5hought to use such different blues in same sky. So warmer towards ground and cooler up high?

Or is it warm up close, the high clouds by adding yellow and the clouds lower to ground, thus far away, you. Are adding red. …but isn’t red a warm color?

That is fabulous. I love it! I was happy to see how you blocked it in and also to see some of the underpainting peeking thru.

I LOVED this so much - thanks Coach! I’m just a beginner and never could draw a stick man. This was my first attempt at painting something man made (sailboat). I left the kayakers out of my painting just to simplify it some more. I think you broke the complex sailboat down into easy to manage pieces. I was so intimidated by all of the details of the sailboat but you made me see just the important stuff and that simple shapes can make a very recognizable and good looking painting!

I loved the simplicity of the painting but it looks very complex. You have an awesome way of bringing things together such as shapes and color. Everyday I learn something new.

Really enjoyed this one. I really like the way you reinforce the basics as you talk throughout the paint along. It helps us beginners. Like driving a car, so much probably becomes second nature to someone with your experience. You have a great way of simplifying it for us rookies. Appreciate you passing it on.

You have a great relaxing manner for teaching. The take-away for me on this was watching you handle reflections.
