When i watch these meetups live i realize it doesn't take hours to make art. Look what you done in 30 minutes. I need to loosen up like this. I make it a big project

This is faster than typical for me, but I need to loosen up myself so was a very good exercise in letting go and being freer about it!

How lovely :) I got back from my walk and I was able to sit and watch this and listen as a 'catch up' while I worked on the sketches I had taken on my walk in the sunny English country side - warm enough for 'no coat' and dry enough to sit on the grass to sketch :). Thank you :)

Great video, Sam, it’s fascinating to see how the white area progressively reads as a puddle.

Thanks, Laura. It is pretty simple in a way. I discovered a while back that painting water isn't as hard as it seems. And converting images to black and white really helps break it down.

I like when you talk as you work. It really helps with the idea of what's going on your mind as your painting.
