Doing a master copy is always a great way to learn. It's best to pick one aspect of the painting to focus on. If you try to copy the painting exactly you will not learn as much. Your brain will be in copy mode instead of learning mode. For this Edgar Payne landscape I wanted to focus on capturing the depth and atmosphere. I really want the trees to read at the appropriate distance.   

Colors: Ultramarine Blue, Alizarine Crimson, Burnt Sienna, Cadmium Red, Cadmium Yellow, and Titanium white

Medium: Linseed oil  

Surface: Oil primed linen

Took me five hours to finish, really happy with the result, I need to practice more on simplifying details.

This is great, I haven’t watched it all but gives me another new perspective. Thank you! Btw. I need to practice, neatness on my palette And not polluting my colors! You do that so well!

Thanks! I use to pollute my colors a lot but the key is to pull out the paint you need from your piles of paint.

How do you store your unstretched canvas for drying
