This week's video is a follow up of a few weeks ago when I started on two backwards beauty's paintings inspired by Jane Austen's Emma- that I could not choose which one to paint so I decided to paint both. The compositions being so similar it reminded me of the benefits of copying. So in this weeks video I am sharing with you 5 reasons why you should copy and 5 artists that are copied the most. Vermeer, Sargent, Monet, Van Gogh, Da Vinci what can we learn from copying? How can copying improve our style and techniques? I will answer all these questions and more.

The making of Diana the painting | No Words | Visual story | Oil Painting tips
This weeks video starts off by rewinding the clock back to when the weather was warm and I was sitting under a tree painting Diana. Then it step back in time to present day where we are having a snow storm and I am cozy inside my studio working on Diana the painting. This one I wanted it to be a visual story with no words because I just loved the contrast of the two different season that this painting has been created. I think each season has its beauty it's just a matter of finding joy in the things that speak to your heart. I also give my tips on how to tone your painting to change the mood of it and a quick and easy way to make a gradient background from a light color to a dark color. Next week I am starting on a fun painting of Leonora and her little furry brad pit. New video every Tuesday.
