Hi Everyone,
We are back from our trip. I finished filming the Elk Ridge I promised, and it is being edited now. I will post the entire 4-hour lesson in the morning. This was so much fun to paint and establish depth. Next, we have a Dog Portrait commission and a full master floral. Off we go!

Good Morning Artists,
So I have this idea that I will film this weekend. I got a really nice email from an artist in Australia who loves painting westerns. Wishes there were more. So I thought I would maybe help inspire some to take landscapes and other paintings I have done and turn them into new paintings.
This is the Elk I am painting as wildlife this weekend for YouTube. On the right, I removed the elk and added a cowboy and a few cows from a painting I did 4 years ago and never filmed or released. After I do the elk painting, I will finish the video by showing ho to paint the cowboy. Might be fun!

Hi Everyone,
I am filming a new western right now. On the easel,
This is "Packing Out". 16 X 20 inches. This is step 1, the blocking in and assigning the light source. I have filmed about 2 hours. Should we do one long video or 2, maybe 2 hour ones? I am thinking 1 long one. What do you think?
