Here is the link! Of course her painting is a million times better than my attempt to copy.

I love your stroke work which looks really kind of wild and frenetic bringing to life a wonderful landscape full of beauty, sunlight and movement. It’s amazing. I can see how she’s easy to follow. She’s good in explaining what she’s doing which would also allow you to do your own work once you see what and how she’s doing it. I also like that she allows exploration and variance from the photograph. I see that you did that too.

I really like the artiness of your piece. The strokes and scraping and scratching of the forefront and the softened blending of the background. Great colors and shadows and highlights.

I may have to check out that video, although I work in acrylics and it looks like a pastel tutorial.

I find learning another media really helps me overall in art. Don’t know why, but it seems to be working that way.
