Hi Chris, a great tutorial, as always - just a suggestion, though. It’s so handy to see the reference you’re using, otherwise what you’re talking about we can’t see. Thanks 🖐🏼

Jackie Lee

What I mean is, the reference shown on the screen with your painting ... I wasn’t too clear before!

Chris Fornataro

Will do. I attach the photo reference to the post to save as much screen space for the painting and palette but if it’s more helpful to have it on screen I can do that for sure.

Jackie Lee

It’s just easier to see both on screen instead of changing screens and then restarting your tutorial. Thanks for being so accommodating!

I agree with a Jackie above👆I’ve noticed a simpler palette is so much easier. I like how you used alizarin crimson in place of cadmium red! I think my hardest part of painting is getting the values right. I wish there was a trick, a calculation. You seem to buzz through this with great ease. Beautiful painting Chris!

I uploaded a new version with the photo in frame! Thank you so much for your feedback. It really helps me learn what helps students the most.

Having the reference photo available for us to see directly while you are painting is definitely advantageous. Nothing of relevance is happening in the lower right of the screen, a perfect place for the reference photo. It helps train us to "see" as an artist. Now, on your barn video, you did have the reference photo there and it was great (could have been a bit larger) and anytime I wanted to see the photo more clearly I would then pause the video, go to my download of the reference and then go back to your video. Having the option to do that was great. Having to do it always is not so great.

I think I read your mind. I just uploaded a new version with the photo in the bottom right corner. In future videos I'll set up the frame to leave space for a larger photo reference. Happy painting!

I really enjoyed follow you in this tutorial the small pallete of colours really gives a beautiful feeling to this painting
