You can use a new fan brush as well, but an old fan brush has a unique shape due to missing and broken bristles. The unique shape makes a nice pattern for blades of grass. Using a dabbing technique and leaving small areas where the dark underpainting can show through creates depth and texture to the painting.[endtext]

This is one such scene of togetherness set in an idyllic location beside a gently passing stream, surrounded with the colors of spring and a few passerbys happily wandering through. I like to paint water. It has as many moods as you care to imagine and is a fantastic element to include in any painting." [endtext]

"Backlight paintings are a delight to do", says Robert. "But they must be sneaked up on-like catching a monkey, otherwise they just get away from you. The secret in painting this type of painting is patience. Its working from the middle tones up and then down, then up and down again a few more tones, until the full range of tones from light to dark is covered. When they are done with care and flair they can be stunning. The fall colors against the soft blue back hills and steel blue trees gives this painting a vibrancy and lift to excite the subject. With dots and dashes of light green, purple and yellow its a cacophony of small but intriguing strokes. The result is a painting that jumps off the wall under light." [endtext]

The red rock bluffs drop vertically to the small river valley floor and are the perfect backdrop to the Aspen trees as they switch color from green to yellow to orange during September. Some change earlier than others so there is inevitably a mix of these colors for the sort 3 week period of transformation. add a river and then some horses running loose and we have a painting that should get everyones attention.[endtext]

Quotes:
“Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.”...Henry Van Dyke
"Painting and observing directly from life is the best way to learn to paint, but studying other paintings is essential also. Knowledge about painting and technique has been handed down through history so there's no sense in re-inventing the wheel....
Study paintings to see how other artists simplify shapes or how heavy or thin they apply the paint is helpful in developing your own view of nature. Don't study just one artist, but as many as you can. Look at how they treat edges, hard or soft. Look at how they see color, do they push temperature contrast or emphasize muted color harmony. Studying the way other artists deal with composition is helpful too, or how they deal with detail. ...Western artist Phil Starke
