Hello Everyone! Spring has been kind to us here in Ohio and we are delightfully immersed in GREEN! Today I am sharing a video that features a comprehensive study on how to paint a lush green forest with a sun dappled creek gently flowing under an old stone bridge. I’ve loved this bridge for a long time and have meant to paint it for years~ I hope you enjoy this video and get a lot out of it!
At the moment, (June 1, 2024- Saturday) I am at the airport on my way to teach my workshop in France then I’ll be off to Ireland for fun! I’m so excited! Be watching for upcoming videos from France and Ireland!
Below are the links I mentioned in the video you should check out!
