THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. THE WIND IS BLOWING AND PAINTING THE PALM TREES TO SHOW THAT WAS FUN. USUALLY I THINK MY CLOUDS STINK, BUT I ACTUALLY LIKE THEM IN THIS ONE. THE WAVES LOOK A LITTLE MORE REALISTIC TOO. THE DOWNWARD BRUSHSTROKE WITH THE FAN BRUS...
PAINTING: I love the colors in this painting. Although, I am not sure I captured the reflection technique completely in my painting, I still love the effect. That is one of the things that led me to do this one. Another really cool thing about this one is that a lo...
I AM BACK WITH BOB! THIS IS MINE, BUT ONE OF HIS. LET ME THINK.....DID I LEARN ANY NEW STUFF ON THIS ONE? YES...YES I DID. THE WATER TECHNIQUE THAT MAKES IT LOOK LIKE LIGHT SHINING ON IT. I USED A DEEPER BLUE ON THE FAR ENDS OF THE CANV...

Yuck. What is going on? All of a sudden, I can't paint. Bob is getting on my nerves and so is this paint. This ii what I was thinking while doing this second and even worse disaster than the last. Mr. Ross' brushes were swishing one way and mine w...
