I started painting your tiger and now I can’t find it anymore. Can you send a link to me

Amazing! The flowers are beautiful but also the glass itself is an artwork - can’t wait to try this one.

I agree - the colours and values are amazing - a real masterpiece.

Yes you inspire me as well.

This was a great one. Trickier than I expected, but the result worked. Really enjoying the still lifes. Thanks, Chris!

This was so fun. I had gotten so tight in my paintings that I was getting overwhelmed and not getting the results I wanted. I signed up and did this one. I actually finished it in a couple of hours and have something that I am satisfied with the result. Big plus is that it was so fun.

This is fun to work on. I have often gotten frustrated with flowers because I don't want to paint them in a "realistic" style, yet I want to make sure the values and colors are correct. I've gotten to where I'm nervous about starting flower paintings. This is a big help. Thanks very much!

Thank you for this video! I had trouble with the brown and purple shades around the edge of the sunflower petals muddying the color of the flower and wondered how I should avoid this next time? Would appreciate any tips! My one thought is that I should maybe wait for it to dry slightly before going in with the yellow. I found it particularly challenging for the flower on the right as the colors are so light. I would paint and the brush would immediately pick up a bit of the dark background and make my next stroke green, so I felt I had to clean my brush after each stroke. Thank you so much!

Angela Rushton

It's totally normal to have that problem and from what I understand wiping the brush (or dip in mineral spirits & wipe) after each stroke is the normal solution that I've heard, otherwise the colors will blend together, so I think your instinct was correct!
